1. I cannot stand flip flops... I also cannot stand the teenage fad of
shuffling one's feet. I am becoming my mother. Help me.

I had no idea I was being so annoying. I think they're cute.

6. Oh hell yeah.
I HATE fucking flip-flops or any other kind of backless shoe. Don't know why.


And I hate even more when people wear flip-flops to the club and get all pissed off when you step on their toes trying to make your way through the crowded bar.

:mad:

13. Oh my goodnes... I hate that too...
Just as I hate when people don't realize how large they are and lean back while standing next to your chair and push their (apparently unbeknownst to them) large butt into your arm and face, managing to spill your drink (thank goodness it was only a Pepsi) in the process.

15. They apparently have a very strong urge for people to look at them
or else they wouldn't wear shoes that click, clack, click, clack across the floor, or flip, flip, flip, flip across the floor.

I just want to say "OKAY! We see you! Feel better now?"

20. Allowing the words "I can't print" to cross your lips at work should be outlawed.
Fuck you, email it.

22. You should create a macro to use as your first reply to every email:
"Did you reboot?"

I stuck one of my former IT guys with the nickname Reboot Bob (later shortened to "ReBob"), and people still call him that 8 years later.

23. I'll go one further.
Open-toe shoes of any kind, flipping / flapping or not, should be banned. Fungal nails should be covered by more than polish.
