sorry, i still dont buy it. I have worked second or third shift for most of my adult life, and having people rearrange their landscaping from a cool morning, or the hottest part of the say (between 10 and 2) is ridiculous.

First of all, there are noise laws, and 9 AM is considered an acceptable time to do something noisey in all places that I know of.

Second, if an edger woke you, then you weren't very sleepy to begin with. Sorry.

Third, coffee

Fourth if this is what peeves you, consider yourself lucky, because you could be infected by parasites, your girlfirend could cheat on you with your best friend, or you could develop a reputation on an online community as a crazy retard. Now those are some peeves.

First of all -Yes, I have conceded this point. Doesn't reduce the frustration level of the overall situation.

Second -- While I respect your right to assess my fatigue level, I disagree with you. I was VERY tired. I had put in an exhausting workout and a mentally draining work session. I am just a light sleeper, and my windows at my new place do not keep ANY noise out. I can hear people conversing outside loud and clear. The edger was VERY loud, and they may have had other machines or equipment running (THere was a landscaping truck outside their house).

Third, I hate coffee, I don't like stimulants, and I do not like caffeine. It is not a good choice for a long trip either, as the resulting "crash" when coming down from the caffeine can make the situation more hazardous.

Fourth -- Are you serious? I haven't gotten a good night's sleep in weeks. I don't care if others are worse off. Aside from ONE SINGLE poerson in the entire world, EVERYONE is better off than someone. That doesn't mean people aren't going to be depressed, angry, or frustrated at times.

Would you go into the TDS forum and tell the entire forum, "Hey everyone, man up, there are people elsewhere who have no limbs and whose houses burned down last night." ?

I think "Well, at least others are suffering more" is a lousy way to make one feel better about his own issues.

^ Don't even suggest it. His next peeve will be how the plugs make his ears hurt and how it's all your fault for giving shitty advice.

Well.....I DO find earplugs Very uncomfortable.

:)

Or maybe I should say :(

I just moved from a very quiet neighborhood to a very noisy one. I will obviously have to make some adjustments. Sleep is important.

Pander Bear, regarding your comment about my being awakened by the edger --

My "alarm clock" is a CD player that starts playing a CD at volume 0 and increases it to volume 15.

It usually does not need to reach volume 1. It oculd be a blank CD -- I am often awakened just by the CD starting to spin around as it prepares to play.
 
I had to use earplugs for a job a while back and at first I found them uncomfortable but just got used to them after a while. You can also purchase custom earplugs that you won't even be able to really tell they are in.
 
i got a non-stick frying pan the other day, and i don't know what sort of committee is involved in deciding to put the pan's label on the damned cooking surface...i used a scrubby to scratch most of it off, but now there's this nice adhesive residue still stuck on the surface.

like, you can see the outline of all the lettering from the label still there. ><

^ I should have looked into something like that. Oh well, it's over. His snoring bothers me WAY less than it use to... tis nice. :)

Thats what usually happened to me as well with my past boyfriends, a couple of them were extremely LOUD snorers but after a few weeks, I totally got used to it and slept like a baby all the time even if it sounded like a freaking foghorn in the room! Hahahaha.
 
The people who work the windows at courthouses. I haven't had a single good experience with these people regardless of where I am. I understand you deal with a lot of assholes, but when someone actually does go out on a limb to be nice, or try to make your 8 hours holed up in this little box a little more convenient, do you really still have to be a bitch?

It's like, "oh, time for work, time to get in bitch mode. I'll set the timer for 8 hours and absolutely can't be anything other than a raging bitch until the times up. I'm gonna put all these pictures of my family/friends and daughter for people to see, but when people ask me about them I'll stick my nose in the air, and give them the most blatant responses I can think of."
:p
 
My fucking pet peeve is finding out that I could have went all summer without being on probation, becuz I found out WHILE INSIDE THE COURTHOUSE TO BE SENTENCED that my lawyer wasnt gonna show up!

But the deal was already made, so it didint make a difference....OTHER THAN THE FUCKING FACT THAT I COULD HAVE GOT THE DATE POSTPONED DUE TO NO LAWYER, AND COULD HAVE DELAYED PROBATION TIL SUMMER WAS OVER.

But, NOBODY EVEN FUCKING ASKED ME THIS AT ALL, OR let me know wat was going on, until I was about to walk up to the stand to get sentenced. Fucking check the obituaries. The one thing that has kept me from successfull endin my life for the past 6 years is now the one thing that I cant do ( smoke weed.) The one thing that PREVENTS me from wantin to shoot up heroin, is the one thing that I cant do. I get to go to probation EVERY FUCKING WEEK for the next month.And then, in september, I get to lose my license, so maybe yall can find another fucking junkie from new jersey to moderate drug culture becuz after all this shit to make it thru only to lose the one thing that had me hangin onto sanity, got me questioning...
 
I'm sorry to hear that lacey. THe court system is designed to prosecute, not to help.

That lawyer needs his ass kicked.
 
Aww, Lacey.. :(

Girl, please don't leave BL! You always make me laugh! Just come on here and vent when you get pissed.

MY pet-peeve is that my roomates dooche-bag fiance stayed here for a week, was sick the whole time, left his nasty, snotty tissues everywhere and GOT ME SICK!

I have finals on Mon and Tue and I've been in bed the past 3 days doing nothing but drinking OJ and soup and fuckin around on BL because I feel like shit. What a dumbass. I hate when sick people roll up in your own house and get you sick... I don't know, I understand that people can't help spreading germs sometimes BUT IT STILL MAKES ME MAD. AND I CANT EVEN HAVE A CIGERETTE BECAUSE I CAN BARELY BREATHE AS IT IS.

Plus, I hated this asshole anyway, which makes it worse somehow... if you get bored and want to read my question\rant in SLR "Help! My roomate is dating a freak!" then you can see for yourself what a fuckin scumbag this loser was.

Am I the only one who wants to go out and bowl on a Friday night, and actually go to a bowling alley, not a nightclub that also has bowling???

Licenced bowling alleys are one of the great inventions of the world!
I love them.
Back in the day, the bowling alley at the casino was one of the only places which served alcohol 24/7. (Now it closes at 3am :p)
Nothing better than finishing off a night of mayhem by spending your scattered hours bowling =D
 
Oh I love licenced alleys too. Just not with the lights off and wild lights. Then I feel like I am at some high school dance, since there are always so many minors there (since they cannot go clubbing, but want the feel).

If you can spend your scattered hours bowling, I want to shake your hand. I like to spend mine cursing at the morning birds, drinking Jack alone and asking myself dark rhetorical questions...
 
"Super-beggars". Regular beggars are annoying because of their massive numbers, but I can easily stand them. I can hardly imagine how hard it must be for them to live that situation and I'm not one of those who believe it's no one's fault but their own (you know those people who constantly say "They should get a job" or "Those filthy fucks should move their ass" while adjusting the collar of their 5000$ Armani suit).

BUT, super-beggars, those who actually come up to you with a freaking twelve-pages story about how they managed to walk 50 miles after crushing their car, are lost, need to have 20 bucks to pay for a taxi that will lead them to the south of the place where the guy they once knew had a contact who could fix cars, and don't even have their fucking wallet, now THAT is pissing me off badly.

You don't have your wallet? You were driving a car without your driver liscence? You walked all the way down here and let the car you own on the side of the road? Get out of my sight.
