Re: What is your Pet Peeve???

Here is one that I have. Stupid questions.

My garbage disposal broke so I called someone and asked them to take a look at it for me, and their response is " is it broke ". My response no it's not broke, I would just like you to come over here and stare at it.

Re: What is your Pet Peeve???

Sen girl, that was my #3 ...read up! That is irriating. Right along with this STUPID QUESTION:

I'm sitting down watching TV ...and in comes someone that asks ...whatchu doing? I look for a few seconds just to see if they are going to clear it up, and when they don't ...I say something like, changing the light bulbs, they were dusty. I mean really ..come on now.

I'm sure someone mentioned this before, but I just thought of this. I hate whiny men. Gets on my very last nerves. I'm not referring to FH though, bless his heart, just whiny men in general.

Another Stupid Question:

When someone comes up to you, calls you by name, and asks "is that you?" Like who else would it be.

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.

Yes G I mentioned that one. That is the worst. I like to be the woman in my relationship so if anyone do the whining let it be me. Although i'm not a whiner.

Really ladies (or maybe gents, who knows), everyone in this sisterhood has something to add. Please stay in your lane. If you don't know, can't add to, haven't experienced, or whatever - just show some love and support and move on. If you just want to chat about randomness, then say that. If you want to make up hypothetical situations and get others opinions for fun, then say that! If you are embarrassed by some of your actions in your personal life and want to "talk" about it without looking stupid, create a new personality like "whatif" did and do that. Hell, say it was a friend of yours that going through - whatever! But please, PLEASE stop the madness! It's unneccesary and you're fooling no one but yourself.

Disclaimer: This is not directed to any ONE person because their are several on here now and in the past that have brought MUD (made up drama) to the board! Love you all, even those of you who are a little "different!"

Re: What is your Pet Peeve???

Okay so yesterday was my daughter's open house and Today's was the open house for the school I teach at.
These is a taste of my teaching pet peeves
1. No school supplies are not included in your taxes even though you on welfare and don't pay taxes anyway.
2. You are asking for alot of supplies we ain't rich. (but yet yall all have on different types of Jordan's with the Rocawear logo pasted on you AZZ.
3. Call this number first if something happens if it's not on try my momma number her phone don't be getting cut off like that.
4. You sure you old enough to teach.
5. what they need all this stuff for.
Today I really felt like tell all these good for nothing parents keep all your damn kids home on Tuesday. You don't want to buy shit which means they can't write nothing down without the paper and pencils you ain't gonna buy because you have a damn passion for fashion and it's more important to keep up with the Jones and not to mention you kid has asthma but you can't even keep you house phone on for me to contact you if there is an emergency. Then you think that because I have a damn youthful glow that must check my creditials even though you are not much older than me looking like you could be my mother.
Yes sisters I had a very rough day, not to mention only 9 out of 20 student's parents showed up. Hey new year same stuff.
Oh yeah ladies go get your children's school supplies please they are on sale everywhere.

Re: What is your Pet Peeve???

hats off to you sista! I give ALL teachers a big hand clap!!! ^^^^
BTW, I am one of the parents that buy every item on the school list and extras :) but I have a friend that fits the tee of your scenerio, she buys papers and pencils ONLY!!!! :)I am also VERY involved with his teacher...the first day of school I had her take down my email address, cell and work #. heck, my son's education is too important for me to get caught slipping!!!! :)
Keep contributing to the future of our children and in those frustrating moments, if you can revel in the fact that you reached 1 child that is a major accomplishment!!!!

I want to be a teacher so bad it hurts! Or at least work with the kids some how some way. Me and DH had a BACK TO SCHOOL COOKOUT AND FUN DAY where we gave 15 children supplies and played all types of games, it was so much fun. DO YOU KNOW one of my parents called to asked me if I was giving away "fat pencils" also. I was floored. I'm like I'm starting the kids off, not DOING your job. But yall know I went out and brought that kid "My first pencil and some fat crayons" sat his package to the side, and told her which package was his. Aaarrrgggggg .... :)

...and supply them with lotion or grease which ever THAT child needs, deorderant, a wash cloth, and tooth brush! You should see me in the morning ...standing at the door like a drill sargent. Checking eyes, ears, teeth, underarms, parts that tend to be ashy, hair, and bookbags! If something aint done or not done PROPERLY, you need to take it back up stairs bru ..NEXT!

Re: What is your Pet Peeve???

Ooh I hate when people neglect their kids!

I totally agree! If you are walking around with your hair/nails/toes/eybrows did, and your kid is looking like "who did it and why", and their poor hair ain't been combed/brushed/oiled/washed/TOUCHED in God knows when....Then don't be looking crazy cause DCF (Dept of Children and Families) is knocking at your door talkin' 'bout NEGLECT....Cause it is....at least a form of it....And WHY does your child SMELL like that? Have you washed/cleaned/shampood/sponged/changed the poor baby THIS WEEK? I want to ask my clients that and some folk I see at the corner store ALL THE TIME!

and ANOTHER THING!

Please stop talking that ga ga goo goo crap to your 3, 4, 5 year-old....She should be forming whole sentences, and should not be acting like she can't talk. Stop finishing her sentences and telling her how good she is because she is your baby. Talk to her, and make her fix her mouth up and talk! She gonna have problems for the rest of her life with that BS! They can still be your baby and talk right! Pah-leez!

Re: What is your Pet Peeve???

I'm going to the corner; because that's where the choir is. I got my tambourine, robe, and a some individual servings of red kool-aid (now you know they ain't 'bout to let you in the choir stand, much less the sanctuary, with a picture of red kool-aid). Oh I got enough to pass around, can't leave my sistas out!

Re: What is your Pet Peeve???

This is one that I saw yesterday and must add to this list:

I saw a brother who obviously paid a lot of money for his music system in his car. The music was blasting so loudly and then I look at his car and it was to' up!!!! The car was at least 3 different colors. One door was bright orange the car was two different shades of brown. It was dented and just plain ol' raggedy!!!! Why do people do this? I would rather spend the money on a new car!!!!!!

Re: What is your Pet Peeve???

Oh yeah Rhony, can't stand to see that crap. I also can't stand when they have these so called bangin' systems but instead of the sound being clear all you hear is a whole bunch of rattling and buzzing. Sounds like the car is full of bee's the buzz is so bad. If you are going to have a system like that not only should you be able to afford a car to go with the system, but AT LEAST get you some speakers that can handle the sound. Coming down the street sounding like a big 'ol bug!
