Hate

[technobear]

Just felt sharing some of the things that i hate.
I hate:
people that drive 10 under in the left lane.
summer chest colds that keep you up all hours of the night.
cops that ride up on your butt, flash their lights, then pull into restraunts.

[thegoldpt]

Well in the spirit of sharing.

1. Howard Dean when he is flapping his jaws.
2. People who speed up and go around you and just miss your bumper is they pull in front of you.
3. Teenage girls talking on the cell phones and backing up into me.
4. People who just plain drive with their head up their a$$.

So there it is.

10. having to dig thru copies of Lowrider,Dubs,and a zillion other "car" magazines to find HOTROD, CARCRAFT OR STREETRODDER at the news stand.
9. people driving and talking on cell phones. They have 2 speeds...15 under or 25 over, and don't pay attention at either.
8. People who bitch about not getting paid enough, but have had the same job for years.
7. Chevrolet styling of late. What was GM smoking?!
6. "Car nuts" who think 22" rims and 70,000watts of stereo makes a cool car.
5. That anyone wants to listen to their rap or latina beat music.
4. Price checks. Always when I am the next person in line. And inevitably they don't want it anyway!
3. Raising the hood and not recognizing anything anymore.
2. That Gram parsons died so young.
1. That I didn't wait for the redesigned dash in the 06!

Tell me about it.

Cell phones in general.

Really, so why have you kept that job for so long? So shut up and quit complaining, save some O2 for the rest of us.

Who needs 22 inch rims, in my "hood" they would be gone the next day along with the music system.

Now i can't sat anything because i like some of that music, but please keep it down.

Really, just ring it up for $100.00. i am sure they wont want it anymore.

Golden one,
A. Not referring to myself re;keeping a job so long/griping about the pay. I decided some time back to NOT work at any job I disliked in the least.
B. Gram Parsons. A person, not a group of. The web will of course give you every detail of his life...a strangely named group called "The Flying Burrito Brothers", connections to many other groups and musicians....what the web cannot tell you is the quantity of his talent, the quality of his work. Gifted. Tormented. In death disrespected in a most honorable fashion. Details at many sights if you look.

[thegoldpt]

I knew you went referring to yourself, i was thorowing that out to complainers in general.

[quicksilverdon]

People who don't use signals.
The fact that police never signal.
People who see you coming, wait to the last minute, THEN pull out.
Brake tappers.
People who ride your bumper when there's a line of cars ahead of you.
Huge SUVs with environmental stickers.
People who pull in front of you, then putz.

1. Being put "on hold" whenever you call anywhere for anything and then wading through four messages just to get on hold for what you wanted in the first place and then listening to inane music or a periodic recording saying "please wait"- what the hell ELSE are you supposed to do?

2. Not knowing how to work my computer thingys very well.

3.Trying to read a technical manual to learn how to work my computer thingys and getting frustrated because it is so.... technical![:0]

4. Not being able to run anymore without screwing up my knees.

5. Not being six inches taller, ten pounds lighter, thirty years younger and with big boobs. Otherwise I'm perfect!

6. Terrorists making it necessary for me to hate them for self-protection.

Actually, it really is hard for me to think of anything much I really hate. Especially when I see all the flood victims and how much harder their lives have become, my frustrations are pretty minor.

1) E.L.F.
2) P.E.T.A. (unless we're referring to my favorite variation - People Eating Tasty Animals)
3) PIPA
4) Greenpeace
5) Amnesty International
6) ACLU (American Criminals' Liberty Union)
7) People driving their urban assault vehicles solo, all the time
8) NPR
9) CNN
10) LA Times

(though not necessarily in that order)

10. "customer service" from any company that is bigger than $1 million a year.
9. Those same companies, when they think that sending out junk mail every month will make me want to do business with them. Strike that, all junk mail, spam and any other unsolicited 'marketing'. A good product and service should rise in a free market society.
8. The dummies that buy anything from these ploys. They promote the continuation of this stuff.
7. The loss of reasonably priced, reasonable quality products. Most things seem to be either low/low or high/possibly good.
6. Designer cr@p. If you feel the need to keep up with so-and-so or display your wealth, is a $2000 purse really going to impress anyone worth your envy?
5. The dumbing down of the media.
4. The push for companies to stay profitable by collecting a service fee, instead of selling it once. This drives the disposible mindset.
3. The drive to add 'features' instead of refining the product to perfection. I don't have a cell phone, due to the fact the service doesn't work 100%, yet now you can surf the net, take pictures and movies, play music and games, etc. It's a PHONE, get it?
2. The continued push to move work overseas, and relying on selling these products to become the backbone of the economy here. Our population is growing, but the trend is to less jobs.
1. The legalese imbedded in our society. Between the lawyers willing to sue over every percieved slight and companies reactivly protecting themselves from this, the average person's rights are evaporating.

The fact I'm not rich enough to have a lawyer, be able to sue all the companies, send out junk mail, buy only high priced stuff, and have an assistant to call customer service!!!!
