The phrase: "to be perfectly honest with you..."

Moving...

Seriously - I'm in the middle of packing for a move - How do I have so much useless crap????

Oh, moving terrifies me. Absolutely hate it. Good one.

I know there have been many driving ones here, but I can't stand jerks behind the wheel. Yesterday I was on my street, half a block away my house. It's a narrow street, so when another car was coming from the other direction I pulled to the side to let that person through. Well, a woman behind me apparently decided she didn't want to wait behind me, so she sped up, passed me, and pulled over further ahead before carrying on. I get to my house, only to find that this impatient woman had stopped at a place 3 or 4 houses up from me. She just couldn't wait two extra seconds to get where she was going. What's wrong with some people?

Those ones always make me laugh, I hate it, but a laugh like, “you got to be kidding me”. We may never know their situation and if there’s something serious really happening where they have to speed too, but 99/100 times I bet it’s something ridiculously stupid. Like missing a TV show, or just wanting to be home to sit down and do nothing.

I do something that some people may irk over tho. If it’s a traffic jam (or just moving slowly) on the highway and I’m in the slow lane. I’m near the end of the on ramp (it’s to my right), and I see a car coming down flying on it (either pulled out onto it, or entering the highway), and they go right to the end of the entrance lane. Then they put their signal on, and look at me like I have to let them in. I just go bumper to bumper with the guy in front of me and not let them in. In my head, you had like 500m of lane to get on the highway, but you wanted to get 10 cars ahead and are now forcing me to let you in. No sir, you wait. You don’t make me change, you adjust to the highway mister.

I had someone actually freak out at me (while on his cell no less) and start punching his window when he was at the very end (it was fully tapering off, like 5m away from becoming the shoulder) and he kept edging towards me. Held my ground and sir, you can kiss my butt while you’re behind me.

The word "epic"

[Call of Doughty]

Biting into a bad piece of fruit. I pitched two bad peaches out the back door earlier. I bought 3 peaches yesterday and now i'm down to 1. What are the chances that that lone peach is $hitty too?

I went outside this afternoon, and to be perfectly honest, an epic number of deer flies swarmed me. I danced, juked and jived my way back into the garage. I was bleeding from the bites a little and all I had was some single ply toilet paper to wipe the blood.

I'm seriously considering moving..............

Y'know if you don't want to be swarmed with flies - maybe don't leave rotting peaches just outside your back door....

I has been away from a Dobber for far too long. Don't know why, but I'm glad this is the first thread I read upon my return. Talk about a good read.

1. Season 3 of Homeland. Seriously, why am I still watching.
2. People who tell me why their android is so much better than my iPhone. Like I care. Screw off.
3. Squealing breaks.
4. Stupid Brother in Law. Such a douche.
5. Smart cars.
6. Bad parents. Discipline your kids already. They're monsters!!!
7. Kids who call me by my first name. At least add a Mr. Show some respect!!! See #6...
8. Headaches.
9. Weighted stop lights that don't pick me up on my motorbike.
10. People who don't say Thank you.

I'll be back for 11-20...

You increased the font of that word to larger-than-life/heroic/impressive/grand proportions GF.

I did that on purpose......

wasn't a rotten peach, just a bad one. And not flies, DEER flies, the Kamikazes of the forest! They're blood seekers not passion fruit lovers.

Yeah, at a gas station the other day and the attendee was a real Bee-otch. No hello, no thank you. Simply scanned item and laid receipt on counter. Why can't they hand you the paper anymore? I think she mumbled thanks, but it was very hard to tell. Too busy being unhappy slinging debit cards all day.

The word "viral".......... enough with this already... Jeez.

[Shake]

For me, two things off the top of my head.

1) Going through the drive-thru of an establishment and they cannot get the order correct.
2) Letting someone cut in traffic and they don't wave their hand to say thank you after you saved them from having to sit and wait forever to enter the lane.
