I totally agree. Passengers should get in, buckle up, shut their piehole, and not bother the driver who is working.

I'm with you on the sag issue too. Most unsightly, and who in their right mind wears Superman boxer. Spiderman is much more stylish, and is my choice for superhero underwear. Don't you agree?

Oh, I know! I thought it was just me. My BF sneezes about 7x's in a row, each one getting louder. It drives me nuts.

One thing that really pisses me off:

People who get pets and do not take care of them. Why??? even get a pet.  We rescued a dog last year. She had just been treated for Heartworms (major issues) when we brought her home, she was covered in ticks and had a bacterial infection from a prior flea infestation. Her nipples were enlarged from being over bred. We also discovered she still had hook, tape and whip worms. No one can tell us how old she is because her teeth are in such bad shape. At first, I was upset with the Rescue Center, but in this economy, I realized that they were overwhelmed and underfunded.
I also thought she came from a puppy mill, but I soon realized that she was much too socialized to have spent her life in a kennel. She rarely has accidents and never chews on anything in the house. If the neglect wasn't bad enough, she shows sign of past abuse. I have never bonded with a dog like I have with her but I am still working on trust issues. Also, on not spoiling her too much. LOL
I mean honestly, what kind of lowlife, asshole do you have to be to hurt an animal?

Speaking of pets, my other pet peeve is when you don't clean up after your dog. I'm fairly certain, I am the only one in my neighborhood who pics up my dog's poo. Especially after learning that Heart worms pills don't prevent all type of worm infestations. We live in a warm climate and the danger is ever present.

Gotta agree with ya serenity. I got a dog recently, he was skeletally thin (sp?) and had a bald patch of fur just above his tail on his back. When I asked the previous owner what the patch was, she said "You tell me, the vet doesnt know what to make of it, something genetic we think, same reason he struggles to keep weight on."

fast forward 2-3 months of a healthy diet and a loving home and the dog looks if anything a lil chubby and his fur is pristine all over. Makes me sad to think of what they were doin to my poor Charlie

Hes a yorkie Terrier by the way

I like you.  Me, I don't care much for people. Animals I like. My wife griped for hours the other day when I stopped the car and walked out into the highway at rush hour to get a turtle that got stranded on the centerline.

Mrs C has the most genteel little sneezes; they're akin to a little pfft. Considering she regularly wrestles truckers, headbutts nightclub bouncers for 'looking at her wrong' and has a tattoo of a candle flame on her arm that inflates and depicts a demonic face due to the huge muscle expansion when she flexes* I find this hilarious.

Pfft. Pfft. "Oh god, I've weed myself".

On animals, there is one thing that gets my goat (geddit). Now, I'm not a 'dog-person'; I find it offputting when anyone dives straight for sniffing at my crotch at the best of times, and when it's something with powerful jaws, I get a bit antsy. However, I am a 'cat-person', and seem, somehow, to get along with them just fine. What grinds my gears is that often I hear people say something along the lines of "Oh, I don't like cats, but I wouldn't hurt one."

Well, I should think not. What on earth is it that prompts people to deliver that qualifier?!

"Oh, I don't like Sales Assistants, but I wouldn't attack one with a bag of potatoes, bludgeoning them to death in front of their co-workers."

Or...

"Oh I hate lawyers, but I wouldn't set one loose in the forest and then hunt them with high-powered assault rifles."

... Or even, for me, "Oh, I don't really like dogs."

I leave it at that. I'd never dream of hurting one.

On the other hand, apparently it's also frowned upon to tell your maiden aunt why it is you don't like dogs, and it's apparently also the case that older people like that don't like to be told about your crotch whilst wondering aloud if it smells like dog-food...

I was reading about something the other day that might help. It was called Behavior Modification Therapy. You might want to Google it.

Actually, I think my mother invented it, or a version of it at least. There were seven of us kids. When we did something that irritated her, she gave us a hard slap on the back of the head. We very seldom did that thing again. So, wallah, Behavior Modification Therapy.

Lol great comments

On Cats, had one a few years ago tht dragged a half dead ut still flapping pidgeon in through its flap and dropped it at my feet lol, was my parents cat, not even mine. Hav never been a fan of cats really

That being said I once got into a very serious altercation with someone id known for a few days when they were telling me, quite happily, and as if expecting praise, that they get their kicks catching cats, tying em up in sacks and tying them to fireworks and such.... Made me sick. Spent a night in the cells for that one lol took the guys arm with me tho, so justice was done

Well, I'm glad you cleared that up. Ever since you made that comment about the pressure hose, I've been worried. I keep picturing you wear a kimono while holding a small dog and staring down at Mrs. Cade in a stone lined pit. You keep saying, "It puts the lotion on it's skin, or else it gets the hose again."

BWR, it's pretty much the other way around... Mrs C is much better at the head of the pit as she's much more violent than I'll ever be. Saying that, I'm the one who has to comfort her when the skin suit doesn't fit as well as it did in the shop, and does her bum look big in it?

I've become quite good at capturing and setting free small creatures that the Cade Family Cat ™ has brought in and left at the foot at the stairs. Also, recently, I've become adept at capturing the Cade Family Hamster when Master Cade shows off his goal-keeping skills by letting the violent little bugger (hamster not child) off the bed and onto the wilds of Master Cade's bedroom floor.

You wouldn't think it to look at me, but I think, as a hunter, I'm more adept than Daryl. Only over five yards though...

Or any animal, for that matter.

Thank you for helping the turtles, BWR!  You're my hero of the day.  

I live in a swamp and so there is no shortage of turtles to rescue.  I did however discover the dangers of trying to rescue certain kinds of turtles.  We have alligator snapping turtles here (along with regular old alligators, snakes, spiders as big as your hand, wild boar. . .this yankee got quite an education when she moved her horse to the "wet" side of town).  One day I saw a fairly sizable turtle in the road by the barn so I stopped in the driveway and went to get it.  When I picked it up it immediately stretched its neck out as far as it would go and began snapping in my general direction.  It also began peeing for good measure.  This left me running across the fairly busy scenic highway with a hissing, snapping, peeing, really pissed off turtle.  When I put him down in the little culvert on the other side, I swear if he could have given me the finger he would have.  I now have a SC wild animal identification book in the car.  

Now, the people who deliberately swerve to hit turtles (and other animals) on the road?  They really grind my gears.

1. Criminals, especially murderers, rapists, and thieves. May they all burn in hell.

3. Rappers. I won't refer to them as singers or artists, because they are neither.

4. Slow drivers, especially those old folk that purchase a sportscar and drive slower than the speed limit.

5. Rubber-neckers. Stop oogling and watch the damn road or you might be next.

6. Reality shows. Do we really need a show about fucking car towing? Really?

7. News media.

8. Anti-gun people.

We've got alligator snappers too. I've seen them all my life. I never realized they were actually an anaconda curled up in a shell. I mean that neck just kept getting longer and longer as i shuffled my my hands further back on his shell. Then, as you discovered, he peed all over my hands and shirt front.  What's that cologne you're wearing? Why it's a little thing I whipped up, I call it Eu de Turtle Pee.
