When something isn't working right wiht the application - call it by the appropriate name - ya know, the name of the function that's listed on the freakin' menu bar in big bold letters - don't give what you think it's called which is in fact a completely different function and I get to waste a good 90 minutes chasing a freakin' rabbit down the wrong hole...

I HATE PEOPLE!!

Here's a long one. I handle the contracts, financials and construction documentation for an architecture firm here in LR. Recently we had a bid date for a small $5M project and of course it was awarded to the lowest bidder. This little construction company appparently bit off more than can chew. Daily I have to review project and financial documents for this and I have to return almost EVERYTHING I receive as rejected because these people can't see to get it right. Each project has specifications that should be called "projects for dummies" because it explains step by step how everything is to be done. From submitting products, building the damn structure to contracts and pay requests. These people still don't get it!! I am begging the partneres here to outsource me so I can go show these people how to get their shit together, They either need to step up or go back to building fast food restaurants and gas stations and stay the hell away from the large projects. OR hire someone to manage everything properly. Idiots!

I keep getting phone calls from the engineers asking what the hell is going on with these people. I have had so many today that I am having the receptionist put them straight into my voicemail. Fucktards. Ha! I have been waiting to use that one. Thanks Mal for the new word!!

Morning,

What pisses me off are parents who do not discipline/manage their kids and allow them to run wild.

Then said parents wonder why said kids fail their classes or get in trouble with the teachers....and then said parents blame the teachers instead of their little homicidal maniacal children.

Sigh.

Barbara

Oh, I hear you there! People often ask me why my H and I don't become teachers here in the US (we both taught overseas). That is the very reason. Bc too many parents these days feel that their children shouldn't have to accept responsibility for anything--and the teacher is always at fault. No thanks..lol

And I cannot seem to go to a restaurant that doesn't have either a crying baby or obnoxious toddler running around. No, I don't think your child shouting and running wild is cute. Also, it is dangerous to let your children run amok in a restaurant. Helloooo....people are carrying hot food and beverages that could burn or hurt your child should a collision occur.

And then there are the parents who sit in the smoking section of the restaurant puffing away while their kids get to inhale craploads of second hand smoke. I'm sure their house is no different. Brilliant. I really do think that you should have to pass an interview before you're allowed to have children..lol

Here's a another pet peeve of mine: Americans who travel overseas and behave like arrogant neanderthals. No, things are not going to be just like they are in America, and if you want them to be, then you should stay in America. And no, they probably don't take U.S. dollars, and don't ask, "How much is that in REAL money?" And don't assume or expect everyone to speak English, and get annoyed when they don't. Grrr...

I would love it if an in-person interview were required before receiving one's first passport. And I would love to have the job of interviewing them..lmao.

those neanderthals exist from every country...

my pet peeve for the day -

terms of endearment - unless I am dear to you - terms of endearment are highly inappropriate, annoying and wel borderline offensive - I am not your honey, babe, dear, sweetie, whatever - I have a name - learn it - know it - use it... and unless you've seen me naked - that's the name I choose to be called...

Indoor voices exist for a reason - to discuss personal things in public

Trust m e when I say -I could live the rest of my life without knowing that the things that you discussed on the phone this morning actually exist...

Indoor voices please... a little decorum...q

That is true. However, America seems to have more than its fair share. And I'm American, so I can say this..

I don't like it when some guy I don't really know calls me hon, etc. But I do love it when older women call me love. I think it's cute.

oooh I haven't griped in quite some time...

people who think the gym is a hook-up joint...

I'm near the front desk the night before last... working hard doing my thing - when a song change comes up on my Ipod- so I can actually hear what's around me... And I can hear a guy - aroound my ageish - asking the front desk person if the women here look like -- points in my general direction (and I was the only one in my general direction)

the front desk person kinda looked quizzical and said excuse me? He asks again - do the women members look like - points again in my general direction or are they hot... the front desk person kinda rolled their eyes and asked what their expectations of the club were... (i turned up the volume and shook my head)

Wow - Ok then -so I know I'm wearing a tshirt, track pants and my hair is pulled back -and I am fully aware of what I look like -but christ almighty -when did having members who look like me become a detraction to a gym?

HATE HATE HATE HATE PEOPLE!!!

I'm hating lots of people at the gym these days too. My gym is such a blatant meat market it is ridiculous. Some of the people who go to my gym seriously give me dirty or confused look because I show up there without some product in my hair, or I'm wearing an old t-shirt that looks old. If I'm just going to get the hardcore flop sweat anyways, then why the hell would I care what I look like when I get to the fucking gym to begin with?

Well, Mal, that guy at the gym is clearly an ass, so I'm sure you don't give a shit what he thinks. Still, it certainly doesn't help the ego. Was he good looking? It's usually the balding morons with beerguts who say shit like that--perhaps to make themselves feel better.

This is one of the perks to my women-only gym. No one gives a shit what we look like while we're working out--and there are no fucktard males to make us feel bad about ourselves.
