The TV, the internet, schools, mall security, scoutmasters, coaches, peers, etc...

Is this a response to my response, or just a list of what's irritating you today?

That's who's raising the kids.

My son(20 years old) was raised at his mother's,as I paid child support,but I was always there every weekend ect....all this kid's life I was kicking his butt but it was his mother and my sister and my own mother that kept telling me how I'm too hard on him,now he expects everything from them(as I don't give him literatley "anything")he can get a "job" if he wants something,and he knows this so he bugs his mother,its not my concern and its not my problem. I didn't get a chance to have him 'full-time" and now he is living in a world of fantasy,where he will remain without me lol!

At least he has a TON of company. That type of upbringing seems to be par for the course these days, cellarites mostly excluded.

bad case of Mondayitis

classicman, what are "cellarties"?

Us... and that includes you.

whs^

"Cellarites" is a nickname for registered members of The Cellar. The other commonly used nickname is "Dwellar", an amalgamation of the words dweller and cellar (i.e. cellar dweller).

Can we get a quiz in aisle #2947, please?

Oh NOES! Not the quiz!

huh.


I have a couple in that range..I feel your pain, brother.

Nice to see someone else from the Emerald City. Welcome.

ps don't worry about the quiz--it'll grow back, eventually.

two bleeding cracks on the sides of my knuckles due to eczema.

Not sure what "the quiz" is but I'll take your word for it ha!

Yes I'm sick and tired of these "lazy" kids who think thier whole entire life revolves around what they are doing at the moment,and what the currently want,they want,want,want,want but when you need them to do something they are nowhere around.

I offered my 20 year old $100.00 bucks to simply "mow both lawns" this previous summer ....would of taken approx. 3 to 4 hours,because of the first cutting in the spring due to the fact how long the grass was(not that long but average) and he found every excuse why he couldn't do it ect....but now the summer is over he wanted to "borrow" some cash,and he doesn't have a job so when would I get paid back? HAHA!

I don't give him "jack" and its funny he even asks. He lives between my sister's and his mother's house. These kids nowadays are LAZY!

Wow. I'm beat! Did a "career day" for middle schoolers today--don't know why I'm so tired, but I guess it's just a let down after being excited. I had some props--I had a quill pen from the Supreme Court--but maybe not as cool as the cooler the Medical Examiner guy had . . .

Even if you are bummed you're not getting an after-glow, it sounds like you had a great day. anyway ;)

nice of my boss to let me do that, and get paid for it, too.

Getting paid for having fun. That's great. :)

I just ate too much and now my belly's refusing to move.

The school administration just announced that they are going from a dress code that teaches girls how to dress to be taken seriously to a pedophile magnet uniform. The uniform would actually be a violation of the present code. We're going to have to figure out how they can change clothes after school if we stay in town... [grumble]

The upside is both girls first quarter average in this highly competitive school came to 96.7. 9 straight quarters of high honors for Lil Pete and Lil' Griff got the plum drum part in the Christmas show. Overheard, "That girl drummer is so much better than..." We call her "that girl drummer" at home now.

Did you address your concerns with the admin, or is that a non-starter?

Yes and yes. I assume this is related to some graduate with money trying to shape his old school to his liking...

Have you looked through some of the old yearbooks?

Kill it before it bursts. Gun to the bellybutton. Only way to survive :greenface

cant......find....belly.... button......

Auuuughhh! Mutant!

He can run the next 7-11.

is that a jossverse reference?

:lol: @ Foot3's pic.

Where the heck did that meme start, anyway?

wikipedia says 4chan, I'm not even sure I fully grasp 4chan though.

You don't need to. It IS the asshole of the Internet. It develops a lot of the funnier memes but 99% of it is crap.

Next to the cartoon, on the right - Is that .......

http://a.abcnews.com/images/Entertai...090518_ssh.jpg

it might be. The image came from a google search for yearbook photos, and that result had something to do with celebrities.

lol

hey footfootfoot--who is that?

cause... I think I know her sister...

No idea, it's classic's gal. I'm pop culture retired

Today I am irritated by people who do not respond to my eBay requests for combined postage. I've been waiting two days for a response from one seller. I know the postage is too high for the items, I know I will get a reduced total, but I am just waiting and waiting. Makes me wonder how fast their despatch system can possibly be - I mean surely they should check eBay at least daily to see if someone has purchased from them?

Petty. But AAAARGH! all the same.

Thanksgiving.

Don't think its a big deal on the other side of the pond.

Depends on where she's buying from.

true, but based upon her situation, I don't think it would make any logical sense to pay overseas shipping.

That's funny, I had assumed Merc was merely saying that Thanksgiving is what was mildly irritating him today...

Nope, UK seller. STILL hasn't replied!
I wish there was an option for refusing to buy after you've waited a certain time - I went for the cheapest seller but I could have received the goods from elsewhere by now!

I'm irritated by all the angst around here over the last couple of days. Why do people have to keep flogging the same dead horse??!!!

Can't find a new one to flog, and it's a skill lost quickly if not kept up.

My mistake, sorry.

And now classic has left the building. shit.

I'm not sure, but I think it's Tiffani Amber Thiessen? (google google) Yep. She dropped the Amber from her "stage name", but she used to be in Saved by the Bell. You know her sister?

classicman is on facebook for those who want to keep up with him during his absence. Aliantha started a cellar group there.

Facebook eh? Still can't bring myself...

it has its plusses and its minuses. Now I think I've figured out most of the minuses, it has its benefits. And it's really funny to see which of your friends from different circles actually know each other well. Almost eliminates the need for small talk at cocktail parties -which is good because I'm never invited to any.

After reading about internet suicide 2.0 I decided to erase my FB existence. I don't miss it.

:rolleyes:


mildly? ok
fuzz balls on clothes ( up there with missing socks )
automated customer service loops
The accessibility of the web-pages when you need to be working on final projects. ( procrastination)
The lack of snow.
Gas heat which is hot then cold.
68 degrees is cold, 72 is too hot
The thermostat doesn't recognize anything in between.

Zero degree wind chill and stupid snow.

Is it spring yet?

i am mildly irritated when skinny people complain about losing weight

How is that different from fat people complaining about gaining weight?

I am mildy irritated when fat people want seconds. :DJoking, you fools with no sense of humor.

That's why you're losing weight.

"Please sir, I want some..... moooorreeeee...."

I'm just generally grumpy.
I think because I ate at 12 and am now having to wait until 18.00 for dinner (I usually eat earlier, alone).
Mum's cooking because we're going to see a school show together.

She's just irritated me by trying to do it all herself and all her own way - which means we'll have a real rush - which will have an adverse affect on her mood.. And because it had to be her way, the dinner is going to be pretty poor (I started it my way, trying to be helpful, but she immediately took over once she got in and reversed most of what I'd done).

Sigh. So not only am I already irritable, I'll be sitting next to Mum in a pissy mood.
Hurray. Wish I hadn't said I'd go now.

try to think of my cock. that should cheer you up.

Mistakes.

One of mine: mistaking third gear for fifth gear. I don't often see my tachometer bent over that far!

One of my fellow commuter's: mistaking a safe following distance between me and that car up there for an invitation to tuck herself into that slot so I could see her new bumper sticker. She compounded the mistake by slowing down once she was in front of me, no doubt to LEAVE HERSELF ADEQUATE SPACE BETWEEN HER AND THE CAR IN FRONT OF HER.

No, I'm not bitter. I do regret not getting the forward mounted machine guns and the run flat tires in times like this, but I'll manage.
