I just hope that maybe their lights went on with a timer. I would hate to think that they actually turned them on themselves every night!Quote:

Well I'm glad we've all been able to get our Christmas light frustrations off our chests.

It was about time for a subject change haha..
Bad drivers eh... like the ones who try to change lines on the highway while right beside you?
Oh yeah, they're just great. It's really sad that there are so many bad drivers around. I was talking about it the other day while driving with some friends. As we were talking about it, my friend who was driving completely ran a red light. It was brutal.Quote:

If you're that close to me, you are going to hit me". This almost happened yesterday, in fact. It was a bad weather day, too. Lots of rain! That is a dangerous situation. I always say that I am more afraid of other people hitting me than me hitting any of them!
People are dumb. I'm pretty sure that's what it all comes down to.
that is awesome Classic.. sounds like your friend is a great driver haha..
yep being tailgated sucks.. I like to slow down and really piss the person off.. that is what I call fun with driving :p.. I don't drive that much though, for it puts me to sleep.. once I drive for over an hour the whole rest of the drive I spend keeping myself awake haha.. and I have driven all the way across Canada for work maybe a dozen times.. and sometimes non stop with another another person rotating 8-12 hr driving shifts lol (of course we stopped to eat, and exercise/stretch etc.. haha)
my friend got t boned by someone running a stop sign at high speed a couple years ago, but was okay, luckily enough.. I have another friend who got hit by an RV that was in a highspeed chase with the police when I was in highschool.. in the end the RV driver tried to go down a thirty foot bank to get away from the police and ended up flopped on it's side at the bottom haha..
:D I have said that for YEARS!!! Glad to see someone else also has noticed this fact, Classic!
ooohhh. new topic! and I like this one.. :lol:Quote:

Good question!! Are they born that way, or do they acquire stupidity as they age?Quote:

I'm starting to think so too, Lady. I'm surrounded by people who are attending a great university where they could learn absolutely anything they wanted, and make something of themselves and they choose to do absolutely nothing. It's such a waste. And really frustrating when you have to listen to their fantastic drunk stories because they're talking so loudly you can't hear the lecture.
Not that I'm bitter or anything...
Yeah, I love the passing death look lol.. a couple years ago I had this car tailgating me, so I slowed down lol.. and just to qualify this, I don't drive slow, but I don't speed like crazy or anything either.. so eventually this car passes me and it is this little old lady and she gave me the middle finger.. I was so shocked lol...
I have to say I believe stupidity is an acquired thing... I mean one can be born with a lower IQ or whatever, but that is not what determines stupidity in my mind lol..
the real stupidity and ignorance that I can't stand is from the people who revel in it, and seem to be proud of being a dumba%&... that just annoys me to no end lol..
I know that I have done some pretty stupid things in my life, but I don't try to repeat them, and I am not proud of them... and definitely do not boast of my own ignorance and idiocy.. I just can't comprehend why people think being a total fool makes them look attractive and I really can't fathom the people who find total fools attractive... they should be put in insane asylums... that is insanity in my books.. but maybe I am insane...lol
Well IM sure I had chrismas mince pies in september ( actually yes I did becuase it was before my younger sistr went back to uni ) and that was odd !Quote:

AGREED!!Quote:

Agreed again!Quote:

No, I agree with you. People who revel in ignorance are the bane of my existence. Also, people who revel in...let's say...loose morals (to make me sound like an old person because there are certain words I can't use in this forum). My friends and I like to refer to them as the bleach blonde (not a rake but a ...). Not that I have anything against people who dye their hair blonde, but I think you know what I'm getting at.
Oh, I love this too.. from when I was at school, and even now.. I love the people who when you ask them what they are into, they say partying and clubbing.. I always want to say "excuse me?" with a shocked and incredulous look.. how could that be your interest and joy in life???Quote:

One of the operas I went to this past winter, I took with me a girl who I had only been out with once before, and the whole opera she talked in my ear, random nonsense about partying, and drunk stories about her and her friends.. it was actually quite embarassing as she kept laughing aloud, and this was a sad opera "pelias et melisande" and everyone around us was getting pretty annoyed.. I had to apologize to a couple people seated near us.. and I also had to go back and see it again the next week :D.. needless to say I go to plays and operas, etc by myself almost always now, unless I know the person isn't going to be a complete ***...
**shudders** Ugh that's sickening. I can't even take people with me to the movies if it's something I really want to see haha. I don't know I single person I could go with to an opera.Quote:

hahaha definitely now the type you are refering to.. loose morals.. and I thought you were young Classic.. :pQuote:

I can't stand when people do things like this.. it just annoys me to no end.. I don't go to the movies anymore because almost always there is someone who ruins it.. I remember a phone going off at a movie I went to once, and the person did not just turn the phone off,, they answered and whispered to their friend for a minute, it was ridiculous... so now I just watch movies at home..Quote:

I save the bonehead friends for concerts, etc. lol..
I still go to the movies, I won't lie. I love theatres. For plays I have one friend that gets it. But I can't even take my other friends to concerts because they don't listen to the same music as me:(Quote:

I think that's an excellent idea, since no one else seems to have figured out where the good tunes are:DQuote:

that happening in reallity someone actauly many poeple as a group are sending rumours about me loving someone when i never said anything or did anything and someone who i know ..who is dear and sooooo dear to me is not even answering me ....not anyone I have on MSN...
:( it really annoys me and no one believes me !!!
I have something new to complain about.
I want to kill my next door neighbours. It's this adult woman and her three adult children and their two dogs. All they do is yell. And that includes the dogs. They yell at each other at all hours of the night and I can hear them right through the walls. It's terrible. And to top that off, the smell of their cigarette smoke travels through the walls and now my house smells awful. I can only burn so many candles!!
OHHH.. I hate it when people do that! I used to live next to some crazy loud people in an apartment out west..and it was just awful.. loud music and shouting, and whatever else at all hours.. You have my sympathy...
and the smoking is just disgusting.. The people who used to live below me in the condo i am in now smoked and I could never open my balcony door when they were home cause almost always someone was smoking on their patio and it would travel up and right in my door... it sucked...
The dogs barking just tops it all off. And I like dogs, but it's just way to irritating. Ooh, I least I don't get the smell right through the open windows. That must have been terrible.
I need to complain about something now that I am sure many have a different opinion on.. but that's okay haha...
I always find it slightly bizarre when I talk to someone about how I love the outdoors, hiking, and mountain biking and climbing, surfing, etc... so many people are like, oh I love the outdoors too.. and I usually ask, oh you like to hike or climb or something? and the answer almost always in this area at least... is... no, I like to go atving, or snowmobiling, or dirtbiking!!! my god! they should be saying they like to pollute and destroy the outdoors, they like to scare away every animal in the forest and zoom around on loud and obnoxious machines that make the outdoors unpleasant for everyone else!!! I can't stand it when they tell me that they love the outdoors.. it just seems so absurd...
haha I got a good laugh out of this- not out of your distress, just your phrasing.
I agree with you- if you're on an atv or a dirtbike, you're not actually enjoying the outdoors, you're enjoying doing something that happens to occur in the outdoors. I can definitely see how this might bother you. It's similar to people telling me that they know how to ride horses when they've sat on a pokey old trail horse or two. There's a big difference!
I like the outdoors, but I won't go so far as to suggest I spend much time there.
Yep, I am passionate about this as you see lol.. It inspires strange phrasing.. haha..
I don't think you have to spend tons of time outside to like the outdoors.. you just have to like actually going outside and enjoying nature on occasion and not destroying nature lol...
Yeah I have been on a trail horse when I was a kid, but I have absolutely no idea how to ride horses.. my parents do and my sister does.. and I would like to... but hasn't happened yet lol...
well, it's good to be passionate about something:)
