What's mildly irritating you today? - Page 146

No secret Santa in the mail today for me either, Sundae.

The neighborhood cats are shitting around my front door. Especially aggravating, since I keep MY cats inside.

Is there anything I can do to make them go elsewhere?

It is suggested that you stay away from that. Of course it's your own trip. So be my guest, but please be advised that there is a warning on that one, ok?

In parking lots, I hate it when people sit and wait for people to pull out; blocking everyone else. What if those people they're waiting for aren't ready to leave?

Don't be lazy--find another parking spot, and MOVE YOUR ASS!

classicman · 12-22-2009, 04:07 PM

Oh where is your patience. :0)

(totally agrees with Cloud)

Just tap politely on their window and say, "You've got 5 seconds to move or I'll buttfuck you in the mouth".

reading through 101 pages of things that are bothering people... that is bothering me

ZenGum · 12-22-2009, 07:44 PM

Well, read the other 45 pages, maybe that will help.

Hiya Morgan, try the "What's making you happy" thread.

Irritating: Mildly successful unemployment. Freelancing is a fucking roller coaster.

U-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p.DOWWWWWWWWN!

U-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p--p--p--p--p--p--p--p--p--p--p-pp--p--pp--p---DOWWWN!

And so forth.

The "up" part is supposed to become longer. ;-)

We'll see.

You haven't even been to "upsetting" yet.

DanaC · 12-23-2009, 12:45 PM

Welcome Morgan!

Forgive me for saying but this is a distinctly odd thread to start with :P

@ THE: OUt of interest, what line of work do you freelance in?

Juniper · 12-23-2009, 12:50 PM

I agree with THE. Freelancing can be brutal.

Or you could do like me, go back to college and only kinda-sorta freelance when there's time. Completely halfheartedly.

Actually it's funny; at first, registering for classes made the clients call me. Something about being busy making us even busier, you know? It's slowed down now, but I console myself by planning to re-launch next fall. I might even change my cheesy business name.

Oh, get this, I did just get an e-mail from a client, so it looks like they're giving me a little project for Christmas. Probably writing about tile or cabinets again.

What's irritating me today? I have to go to the grocery for Christmas food. Bah. I don't even know what I'm going to serve yet. Ham and what else?

There is a 'keep cats inside' policy here but some people that have always allowed their cats outside will continue to do so and take advantage of the new managements youth. I sort of understand if you have allowed your cats outside but this was an annoyance to me too last summer.

What I did was keep the soil moist if I could but mostly I put orange peel or sprinkled cloves on the ground if I could find them cheap. That seemed to work. I have read you can lay out a netting on the ground also. There was something else I did too but I can't think of it right now.
