9 Things I Hate About Everyone



1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.... I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?


2 People who are willing to get off their ass to search the entire room for the T.V. remote because they refuse to walk to the T.V. and change the channel manually.


3 When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". Damn right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?


4 When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they? Gonna Kick their asses!


5 When people say while watching a film "did you see that?". No Loser, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor.


6 People who ask "Can I ask you a question?".... Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?

7. When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn't be new.


8 When people say "life is short". What the hell?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer? < /FONT>


9 When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus come yet?". If the bus came would I be standing here, dumbass?

Whoa, Kurt!!

What's up today?? First the Stimulus Check and now this. Sup??

Somebody tick you off today?? (besides maybe me for asking)

[Miriam C.]

Wow, Kerry, do you live near Kurt? Love the list.

Don't pay any attention to the naysayers, Kurt. I agree with your list, 100%. If I gave it some thought, I could probably come up with a few more.

One thing that comes to mind may not be directly on subject. Have you seen that TV commercial where everyone is dancing around using their credit cards to buy stuff, then some twit pulls out cash and the music and the dancing stops, because that's supposed to take more time than a credit card? What alternate reality are these goofball ad people living in? No wonder this country is so screwed up.

When I first read the list I immediately thought of comedian Bill Engvall.

You could award the "Here's your sign" honor to most of these.

People who ask "Can I ask you a question?"....

When any of my students say this to me, I reply "Yes, you may and you just did." They then give me the "strange look," roll their eyes and then I tell them to think about what they want to say before trying it again. They almost always get it right the second time around and say something like 'May I ask two more questions?" (knowing they have once again, just asked one). Doesn't take long before most are getting it right the first time and just asking the question from the start.

The other question I call them on is when they ask "Can I...(go to my locker, go to the bathroom, etc)? My response: "The question is not whether you are capable, the question is whether or not you have permission." Again, the strange look and then they will ask "May I...?"

It doesn't take too long before other students will correct one another using my same replies. The kids end up with better grammar, thinking before they ask something and most always, there are smiles involved.

I asked my attorney if I could ask him a couple of questions. He said,"sure what's the second one"? He obviously was never in your class room.

I hope he wasn't charging you by the question....

Hate is such a powerful word, but here are some things I really dislike:

Soap and hair scum left in the sink or shower

Unseen mold growing on a piece of bread that you've taken a bite out of

Just thought I'd break up the thread a bit ! Some of you will probably "hate" that!

As long as we are on a rant, here's one I got in my e-mail today. It has some refeances to guns, but I'm really not tring to rehash old wounds, I just thought it was funny.

Where guns are outlawed you can be assured the outlaws have them!

The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense. The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental.

As John Steinbeck once said:

1. Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.

2. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

3. I carry a gun cause a cop is too heavy.

4. When seconds count, the cops are just minutes away.

5. A reporter did a human-interest piece on the Texas Rangers. The reporter recognized the Colt Model 1911 the Ranger was carrying and asked him 'Why do you carry a .45?' The Ranger responded, 'Because they don't make a .46.'

6. An armed man will kill an unarmed man with monotonous regularity.

7. The old sheriff was attending an awards dinner when a lady commented on his wearing his sidearm. 'Sheriff, I see you have your pistol. Are you expecting trouble?' 'No Ma'am. If I were expecting trouble, I would have brought my rifle.'

8. Beware the man who only has one gun. HE PROBABLY KNOWS HOW TO USE IT!!!

But wait, there's more!

I was once asked by a lady visiting if I had a gun in the house. I said I did. She said 'Well I certainly hope it isn't loaded!' To which I said, Of course it is loaded, can't work without bullets!' She then asked, 'Are you that afraid of some one evil coming into your house?' My reply was, 'No not at all. I am not afraid of the house catching fire either, but I have fire extinguishers around, and they are all loaded too.' To which I'll add, having a gun in the house that isn't loaded is like having a car in the garage without gas in the tank.

I'm a firm believer of the 2nd Amendment!
If you are too, please forward.

TN, You're right, I don't really hate anything. But the comedy in these kinds of people is funny to watch. One of the guys at work says a lot of similar things.

i.e. I came back from lunch and I had a "Subway Sub" bag in my hand. He, so quickly observed and commented, "Go to Subway for Lunch?" I had to chuckle to my self as I told him, "No, I just saw this laying in the parking lot and it still appeared to be fresh so I brought it in." Duh!!
He does that stuff all of the time, but I don't hate him. He keeps me chuckling.
