Okay, I must say I have to agree with a few on here.....1.The black stockings with white shoes!!!! OKAAYY ...2.Kids in grown folks conversation!!! OOOOOOh....But one of my pet peeves is , when you're on the phone with somebody and you're talking to them and in the middle of you talking, they start talking about something on the TV show their watching or talking to their kids in the back ground...Not saying hold on a minute or anything...How RUDE!
Man I think you all got me just about covered. I do however have a couple
1-Store stalkers-so called security watching your every move in the store (okay Hair Store).
2-People with UGLY kids that always want to put them in your face as if you are really going to go to the pits of hell for telling them that their kid is cute. (if not one is telling you they're cute; then the message is clear).
3-Friends that bring their kids to an event and then want to socialize and leave them with you. I say heck naw because if I wanted to be bothered with kids I would have brought my own.
oops sorry, had a flashback

3. Someone asking me the question I just asked them in reversed ...ie ..There is no ice in the ice machine, so I go to the counter and say ...There is no ice over there, can you put ice in here for me please? (after I walked by or standing next too the other ice maker) ... Then I'm asked "Ain't NO ice in there"!
3. Loud Bracelets hitting each other.
4. Men wearing accessories ...ie chains on their hips
5. Seeing the toe line on stockings (btw I don't like stockings either)
6. Huh
7. MOMMY! (at the top of their lungs) ... followed by I forgot it.
8. Wait staff handing me my drink by the top of the glass.
9. "Oh I didn't know that" ...that's why I told you!
10. The one that I have gotten use to, I have 3 kids ... and others refer to them as ...... All your kids. ie. You taking all your kids to the movies ...What Im suppose to say ..Naw Imma take half today and the other half tomorrow.
No Phone manners. When I answer the phone with "hello" the response is "Ericadare" or "BJdare". This has been translated by my children as "Is Erica there?" or "Is BJ there?". Needless to say they usually end up having a long lession on how to call my house and ask for any one of my children.
Another is public nose-pickers, butt scratchers, panty-pullers, and crotch-grabbers. (Sorry, just came back from a trip to Walmart)

LOL...I'll admit I'm guilty of that sometimes. I have one daughter and four step kids who live between 3 different houses and whenever hubby says he's picking up the kids I'm like "all of them?" For us though, it's rare to have all our kids together at the same time. Not sure if I've done it to anyone else, but I'll make a consciencous effort not to now :o)

Many of my younger brother's friends have been hung up on for this very reason! I gave them three "hellos" max - if they didn't get it by then they got to talk to Tone - Dial Tone!
1. Young boys trying to "holla" at me. I'm 34, so what would I want with a guy that's not old enough to go to the store to buy me a beer?
2. Young guys that refer to me as "Shawty". I'm 6 feet tall. What's short about that?
3. People that watch me pull up in my 18 wheeler wait until I get out of it and then ask, "You driving that truck?". You just saw me driving, why would you ask that?

Oh wow I forgot this one! I was born in Baltimore, lived in VA, got married and divorced, and moved back to Baltimore ...saying all that to say ...Baltimorians HAVE A COMPLETE LANGUAGE OF THEIR OWN!!!
When I was FIRST (because there were many times afterwards) got asked, after meeting a guy .... How many baby daddies do you have? I was speechless, the guys didn't even know I had kids ...and even if they did, I thought the question would be ...How many kids do you have? They wasn't worry about the kids, they said they could handle them ..."I love kids" ...it's the daddies I need to know about ..
So from that ...my pet peeve is ...Baltimorian Lingo ...one more, getting directions from one will confuse the day lights out of you because you will ...
Bend that corner
Bang the right
Swing around the last street
Hit that corner, and you SHOULD see it.
Okay I got a new one. Now I work in the admissions department of a school so we constantly have people calling for information about the school and how to go about enrolling. You start giving them the info and they say "Wait a minute, let me get something to write that down". Shouldn't you have had that when you decided to call and ask?
"I'm a work in progress, God is not through me yet"
My pet peeve is my husbands co-worker (her name is Rebecca) acknowledging him saying nothing to me for about 15 minutes and then "realizes" that I'm standing there and then says hi. And mind you this has happened more than once.... So when hubby is asked why she does that- his answer makes it even worse.... "Maybe she's intimidated by you." Mind you when I first met her we've had decent convo's once or twice (not like I see her like that)
another peeve (yeah I'm on a roll...lol) my neighbor and I moved in about a month apart. I would say hi to her and her hubby and they would barely reciprocate the gesture- like they were afraid to say hi. So after a while I stopped saying anything. So a whole two years later, my husband finds a note on the door and gives it to me before heading out to work. YOU KNOW THIS CHICK GOT THE MF'in NERVE TO LEAVE A NOTE AND A MARY KAY PAMPHLET ASKING ME BASICALLY FOR MONEY (cause she's selling it) WHEN SHE COULDN'T OPEN HER MOUTH TO SAY HEY SKANK HOW YOU DOING?! BUT CAN ASK ME FOR DOUGH?! Shhhhhh....
Ginoue- I'm not as angry as my post appear to be but it's those little things that annoy me you know? But I completely understand not letting anything steal my joy- thanks for the kind words...
3. When I am waiting in line to purchase something and the person in front of you don't have enough money to pay for all of thier stuff and waits until they get to the register to start sorting out what they really want and what they can't afford all the while complaining to the cashier about how exspensive everything is, as if they care.
4. I have one child and her father introduces me to everyone as
"Dis my baby moms". Let me remind you she is 5 years old.I just shake their hand and introduce myself letting them know my real name.
5. People who do not watch their small children in parking lots as if they can't get hit by a car there.
6. People who don't hold doors for people with baby carriages.

LMAO- And then for every item they take off they keep asking for a subtotal! LOL....Gurl I've seen that happen one too many times....
Ok I may or may not be sent to the corner after this but here goes
I work for Immigration and Naturalization service and my pet pevs are
1. stupid people who asks u for info and when u give it to them they tell u what it is.
2.when im speaking with someone and they feel the need to invade my personal space back the hell up and give me three feet sugar (tb hepatitis and such
3.i hate when i asks someone to do something and they cant follow simple and clear instructions especially after just passing a citizenship exam.
4. I hate when folks bring their crying azz kids to their interviews and want me to kick it into high gear because the children are hungry and the interview is so early in the morning they didnt feed the kids so to avoid traffic they show up 3 hours before the interview and are afraid to feed their children in fear of being called
5.I hate when i have hispanic interviews them fkers travel in pacts 15 people for one interview.
6. I hate for anyone to bring me a baby and asks me aint my baby cute and they are NOT so i remedy that quickly and say thats a nice stroller or beautiful outfit and they leave me the heck alone i have plenty more but that would take days.
Peeeebbbbbbblllllleeesssss!!!!!!! GET OVER HERE (Mortal Combat) ...LMAO ..you are all the way wrong! And they got worst! #5 had me dying laughing -bc it's so true!
This is my third reply on this post and I have come to realize that I have some major issues.
One of my pet peeves is when your in a conversation with someone (usually a family member) and they run down all of their financial problems and who told them they couldn't get any money from all the while throwing in the "so and so told me to ask you; but I told them you had your own problems".
Another is people at work that have an uncanny ability to do their job and watch your (and everybody elses) every move at the same time. And when you do or say something that they don't approve of they run to the supervisor and suggest what they think should happen. When the supervisor puts them in there place; they scream that it is racism, sexism, or something. I have even had some tell my supervisor that he has a fixation with my boobs and that is why he won't do what he suggests.
Last but not least: Sweet Poison. Those are the people that act friendly, laugh and are always trying to be funny; but secretly hate your guts and sling insults under the guise of a joke at every opportunity.

OMG! Girl! I work at INS...or CIS. I dont work at a district office, so I don't have to do interviews.
I HATE when people try to set me up. It's all the time.
Here meet Mycenae isn't she pretty, educated, childless, and nice.
I just want to be left alone. I have told the people in my life tons of times not to do this but they do. I get it all the time.
I mean they even give men my number. I have my own and I am fine so I dont want to be set up!
I mean they show people my pic when I am not there and it's just crazy.
Pet Peeves
I've got way too many to list so I'll list just a few.
1. People who are laughing and shaking but no noise comes out .. Ughh.
2. I get alot of clients on the phone that have the nerve to call me racist.. Ok, I know I don't sound like a woman of color (on the phone)but dang it I am!
3. Stupid people who continue to breed.. Ya'll know who im talking about! If not, take a trip to Wal-Mart during the days of the month thea public assistance is given out.. Now, im not saying all people who receive assistance are stupid.. but it just seems like there is an increase in ignorance around the time benefits go out each month!
Ahh you just can't fix Stupid!
Anyone seen the movie Idiocracy... Oh goodness we are so headed in that direction!
4. People who repeat themselves over and over again..I wanna say damn it I heard ya the first 50 times!
5. People who don't listen .. then wanna aask you why??
ok-here are a few of mine-I will ask for forgiveness in advance-but just so you all know, I did just pop a midol.. LOL
1. People that will see me & my son together and ask "is that your son?" naw, I just feed him, clothe, him, put a roof over his head, etc.. (sorry today was the first day of school and I got asked that 'bout 10 times!!)
2. People that see DH & my son together and say "is that your son? he looks just like you!" which is a d@#$ lie because they don't even share the same DNA!!!
3. When I'm in DH's car and I am asked "he let your drive?" WTF????? did he let me drive??? get the f out of here!!
4. Family members that say "girl you make GOOD money" what is GOOD MONEY?????
here are mine
1. my male coworker (OVERALL!) just never sits down, phones ringing off the hook and he wonders around.
2. when people say huh and they know they heard me. If you can 'huh' you can hear, dagonit!
3.on the phone, when you say you gotta go and the person goes to start a whole new convo (my gramps)
4.when i am writing or reading a good post on VIBRIDE and the phone rings and interrupts me! (that just happened)
1. Smacking or eating your food loudly. I mean PLEASE close your mouth!!!!
2. People that walk around every-frickin-where with those blue tooth blinking in their ears. I mean do you plan on answering a phone call in church, or the movies.....take the dang things OFF. They are for your cars!!
3. People that get on a crowded elevator yapping on their cell phones. It will only take you a couple of minutes to get to your floor can you not say hold on...or I'll call you back. We really don't want to hear your conversation.
4. Irky people...we all know someone that just plain IRK the MESS out of you.
5. Cannot stand slow drivers, or drivers that pull in front of you and slow down lawd-a-mercy!
I am SURE I have a lot more......I'll be back when I can think of them....lol
Soon I get that also - "Oh you're an engineer? You make good money!" 95% of the people don't even know what an engineer does let alone how much they make!
Coworkers that come to work coughing up a lung so they don't have to use their sick/vacation days but get everyone else sick! I swear if one of these infected mofo's get me sick one more time causing me to get my babies sick which means they can't go to school and I have to stay home and use my time because your inconsiderate arse wouldn't use yours Imma (YES IMMA) snap! (I mean, more than I just did!)
Okay I work as a Nutritionist for WIC.....
So Lawdy Lawdy!
1. I hate when people try to rush me.....Come in my office and start some foolishness. You know when you come in WIC its going to be at least an hour wait, and you decided to come in at 10:59 (Cause we close for lunch at 11:00 AM-12:30PM), and then have the nerve to rush me...I may not eat lunch that day but you came in late so best believe you ain't eating none either...And then you came in to get WIC for your 2 kids, your baby, and by the way you forgot to tell me that even though your baby is 4 months old, you're pregnant again and need WIC for yourself too...And want it TODAY!
2. Also, don't give me that look when I say that you give your kids juice, soda, cookies, and junk between meals, and then complain that they don't eat AT mealtime, but you don't know why they are overweight cause they don't eat dinner...Excuse me? Your child is 3 years old and 50 Pounds!!!! Don't make me go there with you....
3. And don't be running in here on Friday afternoon about 12 NOON, knowing we close for the day at 11:00 AM as it is our short day and the ONLY day we can get our paperwork done cause we slave for ya'll all week and the paperwork just stacks up...I know you just got released from the hospital and need formula for your baby...But when you were pregnant and I asked if you were going to breastfeed you looked at me like I insulted you and argued me down that ain't "No way, No HOW, you gone let a baby suck on your whatever." Now you knew you were not going to breastfeed, your baby was born on time, you should have brought your baby some formula then....We cannot make exceptions for you cause we will have to for everyone, and our work won't get done, and we will be closed forever.....And no we are not trying to be cruel and starve your newborn baby but I told you in the pregnancy interview to be prepared and don't be running/waddling in here with your HOSPITAL tag still on, and your Jammies....You are a mess, I am sorry, I empathize but we can't help....Had you been breastfeeding a little or at least given it a try, you could be chillin right now, not begging for formula....be better prepared....
4. And if you get a c-section go home. Don't be walking 1 MPH down the WIC aisles cause your stitch is still fresh, and you need formula so bad....! You need to be at home relaxing!
5. And its not cool to have your two alternatives to pick up your WIC as Baby father #1 and Baby father #2. And girlfriend don't be mad if the man you pregnant from now is picking up WIC for his OTHER BABYMAMA! Fight girlfriend outside the Health Department!
You think thats bad? I will post again later...I'm just tired!

Girl I HAVE to address Number 3 with the whole breeding issue. I mean...Yes, Children are God's Gift, and if God has something to do with it, its a blessing. Why you're kids have to suffer if not trying to HELP YOURSELF to anything but ASSISTANCE?!?!?
I mean, I am just floored by our frequent flyers...I mean, as soon as the last one turns 5 you just happened to be pregnant again, or when your WIC stops 6 months after you hae your baby (so no milk, cheese, etc for you) Here you are again pregnant. I had a client same age as me (27) who had her 7th 6 months ago. Girlfriend told me she ain't never made it to her 6 week follow-up and not been pregnant except for her last one. Baby daddy thought it was cute. Well she finally kicked him out the house, and now she knows what it means to not be pregnant for a little while...

Oh, I've got one. A major pet peeve of mine is having people step on my toes then look at me as if I'm the one who stepped on them. I mean really. Some parts of the earth is soft, but not as soft as my foot. Would it really kill them to say "sorry"?
Just in from a teen birthday party with a fresh new batch:
1-grown folks who come in empty handed. Eat 2+ plates of food. Take one plate (which really could feed 2) home for the spouse.
2-the mother that brings kids too young to be there (around 2 and 3) let them run ALL OVER THE HOSTS HOME WITHOUT CORRECTION, brings no age appropriate toys to keep them occupied, and lets the poop and piss on themselves several times until their clothes are messed up.
3-STINKY babies. Sorry triffling mothers that don't keep their babies (not toddlers) clean. I know one mother who's little girl always smelled like butt. It was bad enough that she was a little funny looking to start off with.
4-Stupid grown A## men who try to talk to my teenaged daughter when she is standing right next to me and when they get checked on it turn around an lie "I thought you were her sister or something"

Clean your child! PLEASE. And NO you canNOT change that DIRTY diaper that you should have changed 3 POOPS and PEEPEES ago IN MY OFFICE ON MY DESK!
Your child smells, and no! Boogers and snot on the face and nose is not cute, nor is them smearing their hands and my desk with it. Please don't let them pull stuff off my desk and get mad when I take it from them. Please don't be offended if I don't offer to pick up your smelly, sickly baby who shouldn't be in THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT anyways cause its a HEALTH RISK! Come have someone else pick up your WIC, or bring him when he is not spewing fluids everywhere....Don't get offended when you bend the corner after leaving my office and you hear the Lysol Spray going off cause YES, that is me spraying my office and toys down. Those Clorox Wipes on my shelf behind me is for when you leave, and I wipe things that your dirty child has messed up....I don't want a newborn coming in or non-sick child coming in touching the toys your sickly one just contaminated.....
Okay, I must say I have to agree with a few on here.....1.The black stockings with white shoes!!!! OKAAYY ...2.Kids in grown folks conversation!!!

2-People with UGLY kids that always want to put them in your face as if you are really going to go to the pits of hell for telling them that their kid is cute. (if not one is telling you they're cute; then the message is clear).
3-Friends that bring their kids to an event and then want to socialize and leave them with you. I say heck naw because if I wanted to be bothered with kids I would have brought my own.

Tewright girl, you are crazy!Lol!
Born Blessed!
My biggest Pet Peeve is when someone doesn't clean after themselves (the kitchen, the bathroom). I know that I have OCD, but I still think it's gross.
1. Eating with your mouth open.
2. Children TAPPING me instead of calling me.
3. Someone asking me the question I just asked them in reversed ...ie ..There is no ice in the ice machine, so I go to the counter and say ...There is no ice over there, can you put ice in here for me please? (after I walked by or standing next too the other ice maker) ... Then I'm asked "Ain't NO ice in there"!
3. Loud Bracelets hitting each other.
4. Men wearing accessories ...ie chains on their hips
5. Seeing the toe line on stockings (btw I don't like stockings either)
6. Huh

No Phone manners. When I answer the phone with "hello" the response is "Ericadare" or "BJdare". This has been translated by my children as "Is Erica there?" or "Is BJ there?". Needless to say they usually end up having a long lession on how to call my house and ask for any one of my children.
Another is public nose-pickers, butt scratchers, panty-pullers, and crotch-grabbers. (Sorry, just came back from a trip to Walmart)

LOL...I'll admit I'm guilty of that sometimes. I have one daughter and four step kids who live between 3 different houses and whenever hubby says he's picking up the kids I'm like "all of them?" For us though, it's rare to have all our kids together at the same time. Not sure if I've done it to anyone else, but I'll make a consciencous effort not to now :o)

Many of my younger brother's friends have been hung up on for this very reason! I gave them three "hellos" max - if they didn't get it by then they got to talk to Tone - Dial Tone!
1. Young boys trying to "holla" at me. I'm 34, so what would I want with a guy that's not old enough to go to the store to buy me a beer?
2. Young guys that refer to me as "Shawty". I'm 6 feet tall. What's short about that?
3. People that watch me pull up in my 18 wheeler wait until I get out of it and then ask, "You driving that truck?". You just saw me driving, why would you ask that?
Born Blessed!

Oh wow I forgot this one! I was born in Baltimore, lived in VA, got married and divorced, and moved back to Baltimore ...saying all that to say ...Baltimorians HAVE A COMPLETE LANGUAGE OF THEIR OWN!!!
When I was FIRST (because there were many times afterwards) got asked, after meeting a guy .... How many baby daddies do you have? I was speechless, the guys didn't even know I had kids ...and even if they did, I thought the question would be ...How many kids do you have? They wasn't worry about the kids, they said they could handle them ..."I love kids" ...it's the daddies I need to know about ..
So from that ...my pet peeve is ...Baltimorian Lingo ...one more, getting directions from one will confuse the day lights out of you because you will ...
Bend that corner
Bang the right
Swing around the last street
Hit that corner, and you SHOULD see it.
WOW ....LOL

Okay I got a new one. Now I work in the admissions department of a school so we constantly have people calling for information about the school and how to go about enrolling. You start giving them the info and they say "Wait a minute, let me get something to write that down". Shouldn't you have had that when you decided to call and ask?
"I'm a work in progress, God is not through me yet"
My pet peeve is my husbands co-worker (her name is Rebecca) acknowledging him saying nothing to me for about 15 minutes and then "realizes" that I'm standing there and then says hi. And mind you this has happened more than once.... So when hubby is asked why she does that- his answer makes it even worse.... "Maybe she's intimidated by you." Mind you when I first met her we've had decent convo's once or twice (not like I see her like that)
another peeve (yeah I'm on a roll...lol) my neighbor and I moved in about a month apart. I would say hi to her and her hubby and they would barely reciprocate the gesture- like they were afraid to say hi. So after a while I stopped saying anything. So a whole two years later, my husband finds a note on the door and gives it to me before heading out to work. YOU KNOW THIS CHICK GOT THE MF'in NERVE TO LEAVE A NOTE AND A MARY KAY PAMPHLET ASKING ME BASICALLY FOR MONEY (cause she's selling it) WHEN SHE COULDN'T OPEN HER MOUTH TO SAY HEY SKANK HOW YOU DOING?! BUT CAN ASK ME FOR DOUGH?! Shhhhhh....

This is my third reply on this post and I have come to realize that I have some major issues.
One of my pet peeves is when your in a conversation with someone (usually a family member) and they run down all of their financial problems and who told them they couldn't get any money from all the while throwing in the "so and so told me to ask you; but I told them you had your own problems".
Another is people at work that have an uncanny ability to do their job and watch your (and everybody elses) every move at the same time. And when you do or say something that they don't approve of they run to the supervisor and suggest what they think should happen. When the supervisor puts them in there place; they scream that it is racism, sexism, or something. I have even had some tell my supervisor that he has a fixation with my boobs and that is why he won't do what he suggests.
Last but not least: Sweet Poison. Those are the people that act friendly, laugh and are always trying to be funny; but secretly hate your guts and sling insults under the guise of a joke at every opportunity.
Love lights even the darkest of paths.
What Fire doesn't destroy, only makes stronger.
Even when you don't know; God knows. I will be still and let Him do His thing.
Alone in the world; but always in the company of the Lord.

OH LAWD...I've got a few:
1. Smacking or eating your food loudly. I mean PLEASE close your mouth!!!!
2. People that walk around every-frickin-where with those blue tooth blinking in their ears. I mean do you plan on answering a phone call in church, or the movies.....take the dang things OFF. They are for your cars!!
3. People that get on a crowded elevator yapping on their cell phones. It will only take you a couple of minutes to get to your floor can you not say hold on...or I'll call you back. We really don't want to hear your conversation.
4. Irky people...we all know someone that just plain IRK the MESS out of you.

Coworkers that come to work coughing up a lung so they don't have to use their sick/vacation days but get everyone else sick! I swear if one of these infected mofo's get me sick one more time causing me to get my babies sick which means they can't go to school and I have to stay home and use my time because your inconsiderate arse wouldn't use yours Imma (YES IMMA) snap!

You know when you come in WIC its going to be at least an hour wait, and you decided to come in at 10:59 (Cause we close for lunch at 11:00 AM-12:30PM), and then have the nerve to rush me...I may not eat lunch that day but you came in late so best believe you ain't eating none either...And then you came in to get WIC for your 2 kids, your baby, and by the way you forgot to tell me that even though your baby is 4 months old, you're pregnant again and need WIC for yourself too...And want it TODAY!
2. Also, don't give me that look when I say that you give your kids juice, soda, cookies, and junk between meals, and then complain that they don't eat AT mealtime, but you don't know why they are overweight cause they don't eat dinner...Excuse me? Your child is 3 years old and 50 Pounds!!!! Don't make me go there with you....
3. And don't be running in here on Friday afternoon about 12 NOON, knowing we close for the day at 11:00 AM as it is our short day and the ONLY day we can get our paperwork done cause we slave for ya'll all week and the paperwork just stacks up...I know you just got released from the hospital and need formula for your baby...But when you were pregnant and I asked if you were going to breastfeed you looked at me like I insulted you and argued me down that ain't "No way, No HOW, you gone let a baby suck on your whatever." Now you knew you were not going to breastfeed, your baby was born on time, you should have brought your baby some formula then....We cannot make exceptions for you cause we will have to for everyone, and our work won't get done, and we will be closed forever.....And no we are not trying to be cruel and starve your newborn baby but I told you in the pregnancy interview to be prepared and don't be running/waddling in here with your HOSPITAL tag still on, and your Jammies....You are a mess, I am sorry, I empathize but we can't help....Had you been breastfeeding a little or at least given it a try, you could be chillin right now, not begging for formula....be better prepared....
4. And if you get a c-section go home. Don't be walking 1 MPH down the WIC aisles cause your stitch is still fresh, and you need formula so bad....! You need to be at home relaxing!
5. And its not cool to have your two alternatives to pick up your WIC as Baby father #1 and Baby father #2. And girlfriend don't be mad if the man you pregnant from now is picking up WIC for his OTHER BABYMAMA! Fight girlfriend outside the Health Department!
You think thats bad? I will post again later...I'm just tired!

Girl I HAVE to address Number 3 with the whole breeding issue. I mean...Yes, Children are God's Gift, and if God has something to do with it, its a blessing. Why you're kids have to suffer if not trying to HELP YOURSELF to anything but ASSISTANCE?!?!?
I mean, I am just floored by our frequent flyers...I mean, as soon as the last one turns 5 you just happened to be pregnant again, or when your WIC stops 6 months after you hae your baby (so no milk, cheese, etc for you) Here you are again pregnant. I had a client same age as me (27) who had her 7th 6 months ago. Girlfriend told me she ain't never made it to her 6 week follow-up and not been pregnant except for her last one. Baby daddy thought it was cute. Well she finally kicked him out the house, and now she knows what it means to not be pregnant for a little while...

2. People that walk around every-frickin-where with those blue tooth blinking in their ears. I mean do you plan on answering a phone call in church, or the movies.....take the dang things OFF. They are for your cars!!

LOL.....just works a nerve!!!...
Oh, I've got one. A major pet peeve of mine is having people step on my toes then look at me as if I'm the one who stepped on them. I mean really. Some parts of the earth is soft, but not as soft as my foot. Would it really kill them to say "sorry"?
Just in from a teen birthday party with a fresh new batch:
1-grown folks who come in empty handed. Eat 2+ plates of food. Take one plate (which really could feed 2) home for the spouse.
2-the mother that brings kids too young to be there (around 2 and 3) let them run ALL OVER THE HOSTS HOME WITHOUT CORRECTION, brings no age appropriate toys to keep them occupied, and lets the poop and piss on themselves several times until their clothes are messed up.
3-STINKY babies. Sorry triffling mothers that don't keep their babies (not toddlers) clean. I know one mother who's little girl always smelled like butt. It was bad enough that she was a little funny looking to start off with.
4-Stupid grown A## men who try to talk to my teenaged daughter when she is standing right next to me and when they get checked on it turn around an lie "I thought you were her sister or something"
Love lights even the darkest of paths.
What Fire doesn't destroy, only makes stronger.
Even when you don't know; God knows. I will be still and let Him do His thing.
Alone in the world; but always in the company of the Lord.
Oooh I HATE Stinky Babies!
Clean your child! PLEASE. And NO you canNOT change that DIRTY diaper that you should have changed 3 POOPS and PEEPEES ago IN MY OFFICE ON MY DESK!
Your child smells, and no! Boogers and snot on the face and nose is not cute, nor is them smearing their hands and my desk with it. Please don't let them pull stuff off my desk and get mad when I take it from them. Please don't be offended if I don't offer to pick up your smelly, sickly baby who shouldn't be in THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT anyways cause its a HEALTH RISK! Come have someone else pick up your WIC, or bring him when he is not spewing fluids everywhere....Don't get offended when you bend the corner after leaving my office and you hear the Lysol Spray going off cause YES, that is me spraying my office and toys down. Those Clorox Wipes on my shelf behind me is for when you leave, and I wipe things that your dirty child has messed up....I don't want a newborn coming in or non-sick child coming in touching the toys your sickly one just contaminated.....
Told ya'll I could go on!
