Irritated Posted at 09:09 AM - 06/04/09 in General by Dennis

I know I am old and intolerant (at least that's what I've been told), but sometimes things just irritate me.  Here's a few of them:

1. Signs - I live on a corner lot in our sub-division, and people put signs on the corner (Open House, Yard Sale, etc).  I don't have a problem with that, what I do have a problem with is not removing them when whatever was being advertised is done.  Isn't it common courtesy to remove it if you put it there?
2. Kids - My kids seem to think they live at Priceline.  Everything's a negotiation (to them).  If I say "No", they hear "No, but feel free to try negotiating until I give in".  It doesn't work, so I don't get it.
3. Pushy Sales People -  You know the kind, they shadow your every move, telling you what a great [whatever you're looking at] is, and how they just love it, what a great deal they can give you, etc.
4. Clothes - Or, rather the choice of.  People who wear pajamas to the store, restaurants, or even Six Flags.  They're for sleeping in, not going out in.  The "I like my boxers to show so I'll wear my pants around my ankles" irritates me as well.  As Jeff Dunham's famous friend Walter says, "Pull up your pants, 'ya moron!"

That's enough for today.
