I hate to get ripped off when I buy chicken to fry

I hate to get ripped off—and it happens every time I buy a chicken to fry.

Why is it that there is always that big lump of FAT that the processors leave behind???

I’m sure they leave it for the ‘extra’ weight—think of hundreds of thousands of chickens, each one with that extra FAT that is left behind.

I know it’s not a big issue in the scope of life—but it still bugs ME!  Thanks.

How Dare Someone Call Child Protection on Me

I am so peeved, how many people have ever had child protection called on someone in your own home, from a babysitter, that had nothing to do with you at all, and it also was something that happened months ago?

It happened to me yesterday, how dare someone call them and tell them crap when it happened so long ago, and it wasnt anything abusive at all!!  Just a grudge that someone wanted to get back at someone else, and had to pull my children in on it in the process.

I tell you I am so peeved.

For people that are child protection happy, please make sure that the children are actually being abused, and talk to the family first, this was a family member by the way that did this, that just wanted to get back at his nephew for not taking him to the store when he wanted to go, and his nephew isnt even here for 2-3 weeks anyways, so I have to deal with the crap.  I

‘m sure that I’m gonna get a lot of flack on this, and so on, but unless people actually see the ABUSE, bruises or something, worth calling child protection about…MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!!!!

Thank you for letting me vent.

I hate rude people

I hate rude people.

Last weekend my husband and I took our 4 children out to eat at the local “Folks” restaurant.  Now, being that we have 4 children we don’t go out very often.  We were seated and ordered our drinks, while waiting for our food order 2 older women and an older man were seated at the booth behind us.

Of course we didn’t think anything of the restaurant filling up, it was Saturday night after all.  Our food came and we began our meal.

Halfway into the meal one of the old bats turned around and yelled at my children for banging the back of the booth.

I want to know this…  How do we teach our children manners when GROWNUPS act so childish.  The problem I have is, is that she yelled at my children.  If their was a problem she could have politely turned around and addressed the issue.

As we were leaving, my husband stopped at their table and told the woman that he hoped that she learned some manners one day!  This whole incident just about ruined our family outing.  And people want to know what is wrong with the children today!!!

Thanks for letting me vent!

I hate when people steal things out of the work refrigerator

I hate it when people steal things out of the work refrigerator and freezer.  We have a communal fridge and things “disappear”.  I can understand if, say, two people brought in the same kind of TV dinner, or even the same brand.  But usually a dinner would be left behind if that were the case.

Lately, things just vaporize.  Even someone’s home cooked leftovers or takeout.  Once, someone left a half eaten piece of pizza in the fridge and someone ate that.  With a ten person office, that would be bizarre.  With a two hundred person office, that’s just disgusting.

If you are going to borrow someone’s butter or cream, replace it.  And fill up the darn ice cube tray!!  The Ice Cube Fairy doesn’t work here!

As far as I’m concerned, if you need money for lunch, just ask.  Don’t go mooching in the fridge.

It’s aggravating when you try to shop for salt free food

It’s really aggravating when you try to shop for sodium or salt free food.

I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure, which in itself makes you depressed and nervous.

But then to be told not to eat any salt, and when you go to shop for breakfast, lunch, dinner or anything, you notice that EVERYTHING is packed with salt.

There is a lot of *no fat*, *no sugar*, items but *no sodium* or *salt free* items are few and far between…sorry to vent but it’s really hard.  :-(

I Can’t Stand Self-Centered “Friends”

I can’t stand people who call you their friend when all they do is talk about themselves.  It gets me so mad.

The whole point about a friend is to listen to each other.  I mean let the other person have one or two words in.

I have this friend that everytime I talk about something good that I did or that happened to me she always has to have something beter or do something beter so she changes the subject into one about her.

She also lies to her boyfriend and then tries to get me to do lie for her and when I tell her no she gets all mad.  Like she has a reason to be mad at me!!!

Thanks for letting me get that off my chest.

I’m soo irritated this week

Okay.  I’m soo irritated this week.  Why is it you have to go through so much icky stuff, before you get to the good ONE day?

I know, life isn’t -always- like that.  I had an okay day of school, right?

First, the road is blocked to get home.  I turn around, and triple the traffic with angry people.

I come home, have to go right back to somewhere.  What happens?

I hit someone’s mirror taking too sharp a turn.  Eiii!

Anyone ever have one of those days?  I think God was watching me today.

I sure couldn’t steer!!!!

It Bothers Me When Clients Use “Terms of Endearment” to Greet Me

It really bothers me when clients of ours use these “terms of endearment” to greet me.

I am the vice president of the company- I will have an intelligent at length conversation with someone and it will be time to wrap up and they will say “take care sweetheart.”

Hello?

If I was a guy would you be calling me sweetheart?

Doubtful.

They should just save these “terms of endearment” for someone who in turn endears them, because it sure isn’t me!

It is degrading in a professional atmosphere to be regarded as “a sweetie or baby.”  I used to just take it without saying anything but now I let people know, “I am not your baby!”

Sick of People Who Feel the Need to “Compete”

I am so sick of people who feel the need to “compete” with you.

So what if I have a new computer or a new car.  Does that mean you need to buy a newer computer or car?

So what?  You paid more!  Or you had to finance the darn thing!  I didn’t.

I am no better or worse than you, and vice versa.  I don’t care to compete .  .  .

I just want to live my life and enjoy what God has given me.  Thank you for letting me get that off my chest.

Just Say “NO!” to the Time Leech

Have you ever known someone who seems to suck up all your time?  I have.

I have a friend who is consistently late to every activity we’ve planned together.

If she’s supposed to meet me at nine, I can expect that she won’t start getting ready until that time and won’t be out the door until twelve!!!

She’ll ask me to come pick her up, promising me she’s ready to go, and when I do- I end up waiting two hours or longer for her to put her makeup on.

Finally, when we do go out, she talks over everything I say and interrupts to talk about her collections.

Just say “NO!”  to the time leech!
