well to be fair.........the man is the more limiting factor haha
once he "goes" its kinda over
I have a hunch that we would be friends. Seriously the mouth thing bakes my cookies, especially when you're out at Applebee's or something. DISGUSTING. I literally want to run over to open-mouth-chewer and perform a fatality on site; I mean like some old school Sub-Zero spinal tap type stuff, just saying.
Anywho, yup...unfortunately I was one of those douches in HS forever and a day ago that thought it was ok to blast music with ALL the windows down. I wish I could travel back in time and kick my own arse for that nonsense. Oh and I would def tell myself to put bread on the Giants vs the Pats. Def that!!
he's obviously a pre-teen or just has no idea how to get laid yet.
you don't start making them pay for themselves until AFTER you've given them the high hard one
two button trackpads on laptops. Why do you need two buttons on a laptop when I cannot seem to hit the left button on PC laptops. I always hit the right button on PC's.
Non backlit keyboards. Why cant you put a few LED's under the keyboard so it lights up? A few LED's use much less power than a light does.
Apple power adapters. What is up with them only lasting 1 year?
2 GB RAM. How do you expect me to use that? My RAM is full right now and my uptime is less than 1 day.
Wet Trackpads. They don't work when wet and my hands sweat making them wet.
Houses that are like ovens (Looks at the thermostat and sees the AC set to 78º F) Same goes to cold houses (Looks at the setting for heat at 68ºF)
Alec. (my brother) Enough said
Parents who insist you go to bed at 9:00.
Blinkey lights on PC's. Why do I need to know that the WiFi card is transmitting? It is not like there isn't a bandwidth meter in my menubar. Same goes to the power light. I can see that the screen is on so why would I think the computer is off.
HD activity lights. I can hear the HD so why do I need a light?
Computer fans. (listens to my PB's fan that spinning slow but is louder than a MBP fan spinning faster)
Hot laptops. Put a quieter fan instead of making the laptop hot enough to light a match.
1024x768 screens. How can people stand those. I can barley fit a web browser on one. My 1280x854 screen gets web browser full screened on it.
People who think a 5 pound laptop is heavy. I carred my 15 inch PowerBook G4 (or my 14 inch iBook which is even heavier) to school and back every day for almost 3 years.
Short batteries on laptops. If Dell can make a 15 inch laptop last 5 hours with a smaller (physically) battery why can't Apple with their huge battery on the MBP. The old MacBook had a bigger battery than the dell but they were the same capacity.
The Pentium 4 people who insist that their 4 GHz computer is faster than a 2.4 Core i7 Quad.
Parents that make you clean up their or your brother/sister's mess. Just because I go in the room to get stuff out the printer does not mean it is my mess.
The scroll thing on the side of PC trackpads. The trackpad is small enough already why do you need to make the useable area even smaller with scroll things
Same goes for Macs too. Since when can macs not read PC disks? My PowerBook 165 could. 1 button mouse? Sorry desktop Macs ship with multi button mice now.

or he is in a serious relationship. girls who care about who pays probably aren't worth keeping. however i will agree with you that girls care more about the thoughtfulness of you paying - not the actual sum.
i am very thoughtful in my relationship to say the least. try 300$ plane tickets to see my girl every month at college, then add on 120$ towards groceries, ~50$ towards movies/other activities and ~75$ towards going out and having fun (i.e water parks)
and of course... gotta bring her a present

I love you. I now feel a lot less alone in the world in my hatred of open-mouth chewers. I can't even be around people who are open mouth chewing. DRIVES ME UP THE ***** WALL!!!
another one
people who dont give direct answers
i have noticed some of my friends when i ask if they want to do something later that day they reply along the lines of
1) maybe
2) eating lunch now and then want to lay down for a bit
3) etc
irritating as hell. i dont care for being turned down but just give a me effing direct answer

To add on to that, people who ramble on, like one time, my mom had come home, and I asked where she went, she could have just said "To the grocery store" but instead she told me about her phone calls while she was out, what she talked about, what was on her list, who she met there, how the traffic was, etc. I hate when people do that.
1.) Very cold or very hot weather.
2.) When I'm hungry and the only thing there is to eat is something disgusting like leftover casserole.
3.) Managers at work who don't give a f**k about anyone besides themselves.
4.) When I'm at an intersection that is clearly "Left Turn Yield On Green," and I yield to the oncoming vehicles and the idiots behind me HONK and YELL at me out of their car windows.
5.) Having to work on a slow PC.
6.) Having to wake up very early in the morning.
7.) People who can't speak English very well or at all, but become rude and hateful when I can't understand them. WTF?!
8.) Having a low-paying job.
9.) Jerks.

People who call me on the phone and say, "Hey! Listen to this email I just got,"
shhh, it was my husband, gah!
shhh, it was my husband, gah!
Oh you're right, I should have credited her. I'm glad someone else here appreciates her stand up, too!Or Ellen's, rather.
She's awesome. I really relate to her rambling/thought process too.
P.S. Procrastinate now, don't put it off.
The word Pet Peeve is my Pet Peeve, AHHHHHH!
'Pet Peeve' is actually two words
Another Peeve of mine is people who post comments just to correct someone when what they meant was perfectly clear already
Oh, and hypocrites
Those quotes are hilarious. I especially liked/identified with:
"Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it."
