It's the hover-ers. The damn hoverers create the problem they try to avoid. No hovering!!! |

Someone mention Telemarketers?
I actually hastle them when they call me, they don't want to call me again by the time I am done with them.
I begin acting interested in their call to get on their side, they like me instantly, then I ask about their company lots of questions then I ask for their company registration information, and then I finish off the call telling them I am not interested.
I waste their time, and ask questions I know the sales person cannot answer :) Its comical, I like to pi$$ them off. hehe

I can't imagine, you'd have to give me an example.

I had to also throw in this one...
Don't nobody hate me for this (just my opinion)
I totally hate it when people take perfectly good 1/2 ton trucks and lower them a few inches off the ground... The whole purpose of a truck is being able to take it everywhere, dirt roads, bumps etc... When I see them lowered a few inches from the ground I just shake my head lol. |

That's why you are supposed to put the lid up. If a girl is scared of getting cooties from a toilet seat they should put toilet paper down rather than creating such a mess. I get livid when I go into a public washroom and a spot check shows that every seat is disgusting.  |

I've driven half ton pickups for years, and I don't get that either
And what gives with installing hydraulics in cars just so they can bounce around ? |

My this thread has seen a sudden increase in popularity. Must be "shoulder season."
Has this one been mentioned yet? People who leave clear and concise voice messages, but then spew out their phone numbers so quickly that you can't keep up with writing it down, so you have to listen to the message 3 times to get it. SLOW DOWN, somebody is trying to write it down!! |

Toilet Seats should be left up so guys don't pee on the seat.
Comical, I thought women complained about that because they had to put the seat down, but instead it is because they don't look before they sit down and sit on the cold ceramics. So really its because they don't look first they blame it on us :) |

I hate when telemarketers or other people who have to contact people over the phone for a living cant speak english well enough for me to understand. there are plenty of jobs that dont involve your poor english skills ticking me off, so get one.
on the other hand, I dont have a problem with people who are just learning the language, but if I moved to some far off country, I would learn the language before becoming a telemarketer |

Guys should put down both the seat and the lid. Girls should put the lid down. I don't think it's all that much hassle to put move a seat after however it was last left before me, and if you don't look, it's yourself at risk. But in my house, please put the lid back down. As you found it. Actually, I consider "when at someone else's house, leave the toilet as you found it" to be a good general rule.
I always feel bad with new language speakers - I'm awful at deciphering accents over the phone, and I'm sure that at least a couple people telemarketers or no - have thought I was making fun of them in my attempt to figure out who and what they want.
A nice thing to keep in mind - cellphones don't get telemarketed. I don't have a landline, and I have no problems with this sort of thing. :D! |
