Zomby's Shit List (Updated!)
Edited on Fri Jul-09-04 09:37 PM by ZombyWoof
People who deliberately speed up so you have to delay your lane change.

Commercials before the movie trailers start.

People in large SUV's who will block your way in the parking lot to wait for a space that will save them maybe 10 extra yards of walking - since that is how far away the next free space is, and I can't get there when...they are blocking my way...

People who don't tip, or tip less than 20% :grr:

2 great movies on at the same time, which is worse when nothing is on, because you can always read.

Using "Cheney" as a synonym for "fuck", which is one of the most versatile words in the language. His criminal name cheapens its value. I have never, nor ever will, use it.

Bad lunch experience today or something?

The waitress was fine, it was my brain that was baked by the Phoenix sun (it was 98 at the ballpark that day). :D

9. 99% of them are perfect
Edited on Fri Jul-09-04 09:11 PM by ZombyWoof
But don't be defensive. That 1% really sticks. ;-)

Besides, it isn't like you were one of the 1%, because well, I know you, dammit!

People are people, and waitpersons can be as annoying or incompetent as the next person - probably because of waiting on rude and obnoxious people. That being said, I am NEVER rude - always friendly, and always leave at least 20% of the gross regardless of the service, because maybe I caught them on their one bad day. Plus, I am ultimately on the side of hard-working people, shit list or not. I reserve the right to be a contadictory asshole.

What's a shit list without offending somebody? I was going to include something about all the kids at our apartment's swimming pool, but you know what that would do.... :nuke:

You probably had me in mind when you decided not to include that. :P I can't help it; it's the momma bear thing... :)

22. that fact is
I don't have anything against parents and kids (my best friend and his wife are great parents, with kids to match, and my sister and her son are above criticism, being perfect and all)...

It's just that people being people... bam! The bad ones exaggerate the actual level of offense on the whole.

Sad part is, I think I upset susang, and I REALLY HATE THAT.

25. I have forgotten Seattle drivers!
Been away for almost a year, and I have to say, nothing beats the super-light traffic on I-40 on the way to work! :P

(Which explains why hitting green lights isn't that rare)

38. I was thinking more of Mount Rainier
I always love driving down I-5 and seeing everyone slow down to look at the mountain. It's like, "Hey, where did that thing come from?" :D

42. yeah...
But that's only 3 times a year. ;-)

I do have one great driving memory on I-5. Back when I was a newcomer in 1988, I used to commute very early in the morning from Everett to Tukwila (37 miles!). Traffic was manageable at sunrise then.

It was the clearest, crispest morning. I had the skyline coming up to my right as I passed Lake Union. The Cascades were purple, and Rainier was a bold cone with the snow just barely visible. The Olympics were breathtakingly sharp and white. The sun had not come up over the Cascades yet, so the sky still had a deep blue hue.

I felt at home then in my new city. That morning never did repeat itself.

4. I agree with all but 2.
I like the commercials before the trailers if they are unique to the movies. I don't want to see the same commercials that are running on TV. They fill the time some more.

7. How about snowbirds?
Down here in the Valley of the Dumb, we put up with snowbirds driving around all winter. 35 in a 50, 25 in a 45, right turns from the left lane.

And the worst have license plates from Sascatchewan, Minnesota, and Iowa.

Iowa - Idiot Out Wandering Around.

2nd on my list:

vets who put fat cats on diets.

13. People who swing out to turn left...
People who bring their too young kids to the movies and people who don't leave the theater when their kid starts crying or talking loudly.

The cell phone in the movie thing really pisses me off. Last week someone sat in front of us and, while their phone didn't make noise they kept messing with it during the movie. The screen was VERY bright blue and very distracting

And when my cats stand between me and the monitor so i can't see what I am tying. like right ow

Next time just tell me what I can and can't crap on.

But do it early in the evening. Sometimes I have "containment issues"...
