People who knowingly drop litter.

People who think drawers are draws (as in 'chest of drawers').

People who say 'of' instead of 'have', as in "I could of done it differently'.

My ex-neighbours house number was 2A so they had a number plaque on the house wall that said '"2A or not to be" - hilarious.

that would have been a hundred times funnier if they lived in 2b...

Just posted this in EADD but man, I hate this.
People who are out of their minds on MDMA at events. It is so annoying to me to be at a dance party and having people who's eyes are rolling in the back of their head being dragged around by a friend who isn't much better invading my personal space by trying to force their way through a crowd where there isn't any room in the first place. Or just forcing themselves in front of you and setting up an ever expanding cuddle puddle right on the dance floor.
 
people that wait way too long to ash their cig.

People that chew with their mouth open

People that put music on in my car that they know I don't like

People that tell the same stories all the time, people that only talk about themselves and don't care to hear about anyone else.

Are you sure they aren't using the contraction "could've" which, when said aloud, sounds like "could of".
 
People who swear up and down that where they live is better than everywhere else.

Hey now, I have a great sense of pride when it comes to representing my roots, but I also recognize that every region of this planet has pros and cons.
 
Oh, hey, I have a new one. I ordered something form the internet and for the first time ever I received my envelope, opened, and sealed inside a plastic bag that said something along the lines of "Your mail got fucked with, sorry". So I am pretty pissed but it's after 5 PM on Friday so I figure I will wait till Monday to call and file a claim, which I have a feeling will do jack shit. So I call today and all I can get is automated lines that don't even have an option for filing a claim. Even calling the local branch that it was delivered from I get a voice mailbox telling me to leave a message. That really sucks. Why should USPS be a gamble? FNA

i've seen about 3 or 4 examples of this on bluelight in the last 3 or 4 days. when it's written down, there's no doubt. that said, i've never really thought about it that way when people are talking. good call.

One time I had someone mail me a gas card worth $70. The post office lost it, and since we didn't buy insurance for it we just lost the money. Fuck that. I'll use Fed Ex or something from now on.
 
Going to class, when I realize I don't have any clean clothes. Ughh, so I'm forced to wear that hideous striped tshirt that I once thought looked good. Now it just hangs-out in the back of my closet.

People who flake. Its one thing to meet an asshole, and think to yourself, "yeah this person aint worth a shit, I won't be hanging out with them anytime soon".

But it SUCKS when you meet a really kickass guy or girl, exchange numbers or whatever. They swear UP and DOWN, "yeah man, let go grab a beer sometime." Only when you call them, they either don't answer, or come up with some lame excuse as to why they don't hang out. At that point, all bets are off. Fuck 'em :X

"Vegetarians do not consume the flesh of any animal, including sea animals; any diet that includes fish or other sea animals is not a vegetarian diet."

if you choose not to meat/poultry/etc but eat fish then you are a Pescotarian. that's it. don't get pissed off when i try to clarify that for you in a benign manner. you're not a vegetarian. stop pretending. pleaaase.

and don't give me that crap about how fish don't suffer pain or are not raised in cramp, horrible living conditions. fish farms create a lot of pollution that not only sickens the fish but pollutes the water as well. and scientists don't know for sure yet whether or not fish hurt. just because it's not fluffy and cute does not mean it doesn't suffer when someone starts cutting it apart.

ps. don't tell me you're shocked that I like playing with animals because I eat hamburgers. i don't have some sort of malicious vendetta against every non-human creature on the planet. :(

I am a pescatarian, but I do usually describe my diet as vegetarian to most people and just explain that I do eat fish if they ask. Saying I'm a pescatarian raises too many questions because most people just don't know what the hell that is. It gets annoying having to repeat yourself over and over again.

My diet choices are because of personal taste too, not because I'm a hard core animal rights activist. I've considered making the move to lacto-ovo vegetarianism, but I like seafood too much and this way I have more options when I go to restaurants.
 
Why don't you just tell people you don't eat red meat spork? That's what I tell people anyway. It usually comes across as being more straight forward. I can imagine people's reactions when I say that I'm an ovo-lacto pescotarian and then try to explain it.
 
it doesn't annoy me as much as some other assaults on the language but it still irks me when people say, of an individual, "s/he is good people". it just sounds stupid.

All Right,

A few


1) When me/ or my gf are out in public and people stare at our mods. Don't stare, If you've got a question just ask. Little kids LOVE them, their parents freak out.

Don't be Rude.. Just ask.

2) The godamned UPS driver who NEVER knocks on door/rings bell and today couldn't find "our adress" I'm guessing their a few screws short of a toolbox or lazyiness.


Love
