hey todd! long time fan, first time
writer, or however you call it.. when you write in for the first
time...
here´s an annoyance for ya... when 3rd cousins send you an
instant message on msn messenger after
not talking with you for months (or years?) and beat around the
bush for 10 minutes making small talk
till they try and sneak in some hints about how they need you to
loan them money... conversation
went something like this...
(after 10 mins)
him:so yeah, people form work didnt pay us this period, so i
have to wait another 2 weeks...
me: that sucks...
him:yeah, so now im super pressed for cash.. yadda yadda
me: shitty, that really sucks
him: yeah, i´m going to have to get someone to loan me some cash
with interest for a couple weeks
me: bummer..
anywho, you might think im insensitive, but whatever, if he had
the balls to ask me straight out
i might even have considered it, if he didnt have a
reputation...
anywho...
thanks for the site Todd, and everyone that submits their
stories!!

The one thing that annoys me more than
anything are some message boards
(none here). I went to this one board about a month ago and
when I
posted pics of some stuff, I got attacked for it! I had just
joined and
that left a bad impression of them to me. So I left. Then I
begin
getting emails from some of the people on the board saying I
shouldn't
have left over someone attacking my pics. So I go and log in to
the
boards as a guest and find I am being badmouthed big time, and
my
replies to the members' emails being posted! I ended up having
to
rejoin just to clear things up. I know that probably sounds
stupid and
weird to everyone and I'm sure everyone now thinks I'm just some
wacko
or crazy person but when you go on a board for the first time,
first
impressions are lasting ones. How would you like it if people
encourage
you to post pics of stuff and then when you do, they go and
attack you,
and THEN attack you if you decide not to stick around and take
their
shit? F*CK EM ALL!!

even more annoyed. reference follows:
I am annoyed by "Big B." who rants about "waitering" (<http://oddtodd.com/annoy25.html>).
First of all, "waitering" is not a word.
Second, this ignorant little shit claims that we shouldn't eat
at a restaurant if we can't afford at least a 10-15% tip. Since
when was this a requirement? I wonder what the owner/manager of
this establishment thinks about this claim? I usually tip at
least 10%, sometimes more, sometimes less, but I do it without
assuming it is required. Why? Because it isn't required! If you
can't afford the tip, eat anyway. Hopefully you can stiff the
greedy bastard who goes by "Big B" in Texas.
Third, this person bitches about their job way too much. There
is a reason you get tips. It's because you are supposed to put
up with the kind of shit you describe, e.g., rude people, stupid
people, slow people, etc. Get a clue.
Fourth, since you are obviously too young to understand this, I
will make it very clear. 5 year olds make huge friggin' messes.
That's what they do. Parents don't have to encourage this. It
happens. If you ever have children (I can only hope that your
tainted genetic spore is never propagated) you will understand.
Big B., Quit bitchin' and grow up!

dear nasty gash, that which by
itself is a whole other scene worthy of charelton heston and a
caste of thousands, welcome to civil society. yes it is wrong
to complain like 'tipping is not a city in china'. but if you
don't tip at a regular place, where that is part of the program,
then you are the reprobate. it goes like this: 1 drink = $1
tip. 20% for food service in major city, 15% for food service
in a regular place type city, and then whatever minimalist
pesatas required in the imagined degenerate exurban ghetto where
you reside. so maybe you should grow up, stand erect and start
using that thumb for more than a booger holder, then maybe you
can pass me the tray at ponderosa so i can buttinski at the
salad bar.

Right now I’m annoyed at the woman I used to work with. This is the woman I went out of my way to make sure she had groceries on the table when she was sick, listened to all her new grandchild stories (and she doesn’t even know if I have any grandchildren or not). This woman knows nothing about me yet expected me to be interested in every aspect of her life. She no longer works at the company so now comes the worst part …… she emails me every joke that comes down the pike – no less than seven EVERY SINGLE DAY…… And then when I ask her to take me off her “joke forwarding list” she gets bent out of shape like I asked her to stop talking to me or something. Jeez, if there was EVER a personal note attached I’d faint. Why do people think you want them to forward all of their lame jokes to you? And how could you possibly be offended by someone asking to not have their “email” box jammed with junk mail. I turned on my computer after three days away and had somewhere around 30 jokes, just from her (after asking as politely as possible to not send them). I forwarded them all back to her along with a few others in my inbox. It still hasn’t stopped. I guess I just have to put her on my “blocked sender” list. But not until I send her all the Viagra ads in my junk box.

More driving
annoyances!
Just like
http://www.oddtodd.com/annoy30.html,
I agree that the speed limit
is the speed limit. I got a ticket 2 years ago for going 42 in
a 30 while
returning home with take-out pizza, and at that moment, I
decided that
speeding wasn't worth it! I would just leave earlier, and not
be so full of
myself that I couldn't wait until I actually arrived at my
destination
according to the laws of space and time. So. My annoyance
appeared the
other day. I was driving through a school zone around noontime
on a
Wednesday. Around here we have signs that flash "25 mph" when
they mean for
that speed to be enforced. (Usually it's 35 or 40 without the
flashing.) I
assume that the only kids wandering around an elementary school
around
noontime would have to be young kindergarteners or preschoolers,
and so it
was. I drove 25 mph between the "Begin School Zone" and "End
School Zone"
signs, like a law-abiding citizen. People were passing me like
nascar
racers. There was even a pickup truck who tailgated me for a
while, then
blew by me. His window had a "fire department" sticker on it.
Nice civil
servant. The school zones aren't miles and miles long, just a
few hundred
yards. Not a huge sacrifice. At the stoplight up ahead, I was
ahead of the
pickup truck in my lane. All that rushing for nothing. And,
who in their
right mind speeds all road-ragey through a toddler school
zone?! The chance
that you'd hit someone tiny is just not worth it!
