Pet Peeves, Vol. 2

Did you see a wallet? I didn't see a wallet? But you know what I heard- $800 was donated to the good people of (insert favorite foundation here)!

People that are rude for no reason totally amaze me.

audie, that girl must have been to the doctor before she came to the pharmacy. Maybe the Doctor stuck an anal probe in her and left it there. She sure has something stuck up her @ss.

I don't carry cash in my wallet any more, but if I lose my wallet and it is returned with its contents, the person who found it is getting a reward of some type. I remember losing my wallet in a bar back in my college days. I had been to three bars (only one beer at each bar), when I realized it was missing. I went back to the last bar and looked around where I had been sitting and found nothing. I walked up to the bar to ask the bartender about my wallet, and at the same time, a girl walks up beside me to turn a wallet in to the bartender. I think I had about $80 bucks in the wallet, and my immediate thought was to give the girl all of the cash, because if it had stayed missing, I would be out the cash and I would have all kinds of hassles with replacing ID and credit cards. I tried to give the girl the cash, but she wouldn't take it. I finally convinced her to let me buy her and her friends a round of drinks. I was so thankful that a good person had found it.

Someone needs to put cooking instructions [on pasta boxes] in large international distress signal orange ink, large font, so that it can be easily read. How many times have you turned the bag or box end over end looking for the holy grail. Ok, I feel much better now.

Is anyone in Sowal as irritated as I am by all the telephone books we keep getting. I drove home the other day and there were packages of phone books at every mail box in my development! Talk about pollution...I called the HOA and they called the phone company and made them come back and pick them up.

How many phone books do we need for only one phone company!

Damn advertisers. I received two books in two days, last week. I now have one in each car and one in the house, and I still have enough to throw the others into the garden as mulch.

That is a waste. I don't even use a phone book at all anymore. You should only get them on request.

we weren't expecting a reward, we wouldn't have been able to accept one anyone due to hospital policy etc. but ya know a "thanks a lot" sure would have been nice

I'm sure everything will be fine. It really stinks that they've made you wait so long. I guess it would make me question if I really wanted to work there. I hope it all works out and you can move to paradise soon!

Thank you sooo much. I hope it works out. Well, they just seemed like a place where I would really fit in with when I interviewed. And everything seemed fine until these last two weeks. I'm pulling my hair out... but at least I have a back-up plan and should hear from that by Friday - we shall see :roll:

Anybody else need a graphic designer? (shamless self-promo)

and thanks to Kurt for erasing it!

i was thinking the same thing, ol....

It has made me question it- and then I end up closing my eyes, clicking my heels and find myself saying...
"there's NO place like SoWal, there's NO place like SoWal!"

This may be true, but there may be better jobs. Whatever is suppose to happen will happen. Keep the faith. Good Luck.

Have you called them to thank them for the interview and follow-up? Often your follow-up call helps them determine your interest and determination level.

trust me I did that and then some- and got the job today!

People who can't commit to a bumper sticker--attaching them with Scotch tape to the inside of a back window. How busy--or anal--do you have to be to not be able to deal with sticker removal from a window or a bumper?

Where on earth did you see someone do that? That's the dumbest thing I ever heard. The scotch tape is going to leave a sticky residue that's even worse than the bumper sticker residue. Duh!

hee, hee--

I would NEVER do that with a bumper sticker, but I absolutely refused to stick my school parking permit on my brand new car. I told the security officer that since it was a convertible, I didn't want to put it in the back windshield. He told me I could just tuck it in the front somewhere. (I didn't use tape, either. No residue at all.)

That's probably just as tacky, but, like I said, I'm not about to gunk up my tiny little car with some big ol' sticker!

...oh my pea...you did it...your siggy!

NoHall!! Not even a SoWal sticker??? Man, are you a stickler!

I've VERY seriously considered a SoWal sticker...
