1) Bad drivers. Why do you drive so far under the speed limit? If the limit is 55 mph, I expect to be going at least 60, not 40. And why don’t you turn on your lights when it’s raining? And it’s a MERGE lane, not a come-to-a-complete-stop lane.
2) When people move my stuff in the fridge at work, I’m guessing to get their stuff behind it, why do they put it on a completely different shelf so I have to search for it? Put it back where it was. And keep your filthy hands off my stuff, anyway (please see this previous post for more on the subject).
3) Exercising daily and eating healthy but still being a fat slob.
4) People who read while walking. Unless you’re reading a map because you’re lost, please put the books down while you’re walking down the street. You’re all over the sidewalk and, therefore, in my way.
5) Smoking. I just don’t understand it. It’s such a waste of money, for starters. And you’re killing yourself and everyone around you. And you stink. Really. When you come inside after going out for a smoke, no amount of perfume or cologne can cover it up. You’re polluting my air. Stop that. And you stink. Did I mention that?
6) Why do my stats say people find my site when looking up Dinah Manoff? I’ve never discussed my love for Empty Nest on here. Nor have I mentioned how many times I’ve seen Grease (approximately 915 1/2 times). I mentioned this to someone, who said maybe it has something to do with writing about The Golden Girls, since Empty Nest was a spin-off of that. Interesting theory. Still a bit weird.
7) I was able to get on my blog at work only one day last week, then it crapped out on me again. But I can get on pretty much any other site that isn’t blocked by my company (and no, the blog isn’t blocked, a different message comes up). Pretty frikkin’ irritating.

There are so many italics today, or at least it looks like it on my screen.
Why so cranky? I think the person doing 40, while s-lowwww, is actually law-abiding. You aren’t.
So sorry you can’t get to your hobby blog site while at your place of business.
You’re far from fat.
I like Grease, too.
Just sayin’.

I don’t understand proof readers who can’t spell mention. Did I “metion” that?
Only kidding – and smokers really do STINK. As a reformed smoker I apologize to everyone who ever “smelled” me.
I do agree about the pokey people – most annoying and also extremely dangerous.
Happy Birthday to Rachel – a day late. I promise I will never sing that song to you again – but no promises for Aunt Syl.

I have no idea what you’re talking about, Lometer. (Actually, I do. I’m a horrible proofreader. Duh.)

A. has started doing this thing called “hyper-miling,” where you try to get the most miles out of a gallon of gas that you can. It involves driving slowly, not braking or accelerating too quickly, and coasting when possible. You would HATE driving behind him. And he likes to yell at people who race to pass him, “You can pass everything but the gas pump, jerk.” Except he doesn’t say jerk, but I’ll try to keep this family-friendly.

This blog is family-friendly? Ha ha. I said the “F” word to my therapist today…but only in the course of repeating something my ex said to me. When I said this to my therapist, I warned her first by saying, “Pardon the graphic language.” Because, you know, she’s 38 and has NEVER heard the F word before. Oh.

I like that you guys are trying to keep this family-friendly! I did clean up my act by writing “frikkin.”
Kristin: I NEVER want to drive behind A. in his slow-moving truck (I’m assuming).
Liz: Which F word did your therapist not know? Was it the double-f word…family-friendly? Hee. I like that you were all polite with your pardon and such.
Lometer: Apology accepted.
#1 b-i-l: I can’t believe you didn’t know who Dinah “Find a penny, pick it up, all day long you’ll have good luck” Manoff is. (She was Caaaarrroooolllll! on Empty Nest, too, although we discussed this, right?)
Just sayin’: Speed up. And I sure am fat. Signed, Auntie Boobah Belly.

How can #1 B-i-L not know who Dinah Manoff is…let’s not forget she was on SOAP.
You are not fat.
I have no patience for the slow driver – especially when they clog up traffic by dilly dallying in the fast lane. Move over! Don’t you see the parade of cars behind you!!!!!

#1 b-i-l called Richard Mulligan, who was also on both Empty Nest and Soap a bird (I think that’s what he said). I loved Richard Mulligan!

I also hate it when someone moves my stuff in the work fridge. Although I have a different fridge-related problem now: there is a package of rice pudding in there right now and i cannot remember if it’s mine. No one is eating it, but if I eat it and it’s not mine, then I’ll be That Person who eats someone else’s food. Quandary!

Could be worse: Someone could take your emergency bottle of water, which has your name written on the cap. So sad when you’re super thirsty and you’re a water snob, so you need the bottled stuff. And just wrong: It had my name on it. Seriously, it had my NAME ON IT!
