Pissin' and Moanin'

Someone on Facebook told me the other day that I did too much pissin' and moanin'. I very rarely bitch about anything on Facebook, except occasionally when I'm in a lot of pain, but even then I start off with a 'whine alert'. But I would hate for this person to be proved a liar (oops...too late)....so I will now do some pissin' and moanin' and give you a list of my pet peeves.

1. Able bodied people who park in handicapped spaces. Those things are few and far between. I'm not talking about the ones with invisible disabilities, I'm talking about the ones who bounce out of the car and run in to the store, and think it's ok, cause they're only going to be a few minutes. Or they leave the handicapped person in the car, and bounce/run. etc.
 2. Insincere apologies. We've all heard them. Like when somebody calls you a jackass, and when you say, "Hey! I'm offended that you called me a jackass!" and they say, "I'm sorry you feel that way." Never do they say, "I'm sorry I called you a jackass."
3. People who interrupt.  Many times I've been sitting around a table with friends in the clubhouse here at Limpdik Park, having a nice conversation, and someone will walk in and come up to the table and just start running their mouth, interrupting the person who was talking. HEY!...Do you see me here? Do you hear the words still coming out of my mouth?....Oh I get it...your story is much more important than mine...
4. People who think their way is the best way, always. I was at Crochet Club today. One of the ladies is a beginner knitter and she had dropped a stitch and needed help, so the instructor was helping her fix it. In walked another lady who proceeded to take the work out of the instructors hands and show her a better way to fix it. (It wasn't a better way, by the way). She has an answer for everything, most of which involves lavender oil per Dr. Oz. (WTF is Dr Oz?)
5. Mooches.  We have a lot of residents here that you never ever see unless free food is involved. Sometimes companies will come in to present a program about their services and they will bring snacks. We have people who will come just about the time the program is wrapping up, just so they can mooch the free food. These same mooches will take way more than their share when someone puts a plate of cookies out by the coffee pot, too.
6. People who don't understand the concept of time zones. I watch a lot of reality TV. Those shows where someone is eliminated every week. People on Facebook don't understand that the West Coast hasn't seen the show yet...don't post all over your wall who was voted off, or who won...Let us enjoy the show too! It's just common courtesy. You can comment about the outcome without spoiling it for others...I know it can be done...I've done it...Example: "WOW! I was really pleased with the outcome of that episode."..or..."Wow! what a surprise that was!"
7. Some of the stupid things people wear. I am so sick of seeing boys and grown men with their pants hanging down to their thighs. I've even seen some who had to cinch them with a belt, 4 inches above their knees, to keep them up. I really don't want to see your plaid boxers, fella!..Pull your pants up!! And whats with women running around with their bellies hanging out? In a tee shirt that is too tight and too short. Flabby little rolls spilling out over the tops of their jeans. C'mon girls, I've learned to hide my fat..it can be done! Don't people own mirrors anymore?


Okay...that's enough for now...don't be surprised if we revisit this subject down the road.
