I have a coworker that must have a lot of snot. She is constantly clearing her throat and doing that fvckin annoying sound of the snot being gurgled in the back of the throat. It would be one thing if it were a quiet gurgle, but NO...it has to be a loud and obnoxious gurgle. Then she apologizes every single time she makes the noise. This wouldn't be so bad if it didn't happen often, but she does this about 20 times a day everyday.
I CAN'T STAND IT. She's also the same girl that forwards every single piece of crap email to her "friends". I'm tired of looking at bunnies with uplifting comments and talking about god and prayer. I'm not religious and she knows this. I'm not going to convert. LEAVE ME THE FVCK ALONE.

That one's easy... just tell her to stop sending you that crap, or the cute little bunnies will pay for her spamming! (threatening picture optional) ;D

I'm so farkin tired of people telling me I should have kids. I really don't see myself having kids. I've never liked kids and I don't want kids. It's either my boyfriend's mom nagging us to death (what the old hagbag does best) or it's my coworkers. I swear, I will go get my tubes tied this afternoon if I wouldn't have to hear that crap again.
Some people don't want kids.
Oh yeah...to my coworkers that talk about their snotty little kids all day...STOP TALKING ABOUT THEM ALL DAY. I DON'T CARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I was in 10th or 11th grade, I watched an episode of ER where a woman died in childbirth. I went directly upstairs and told my mom I was never having kids. She said, "Good."
Although I've thought about it since then, Jesus and I have come to the conclusion that we really don't want to have kids, either. Luckily, my mom is still behind that decision. (My brother has a daughter, and while we all love her, his having her has caused serious issues in my family). And Jesus's family is not in the picture.
I've always thought that too many people have kids just because they are supposed to. If you don't want kids, you really should not have them. It isn't going to be good for you, and it sure as hell won't be good for the kids.
So. . .karma to you, Oleander, for being smart enough to not want to have kids just because the whole world tells you to!
^^^ For some reason that makes me laugh. Probably because I have kids and sometimes feel that same way... lol.
Here's my peeve of the day...
Why do fashion magazines think that a $150 dress is a bargain? I read a couple of the girly mags and in every issue there's some kind of "bargain" page or a "steals and deals" article. The things they put in there are ridiculous.
$48 is NOT a bargain bracelet. neither is $65 hat or $99 velvet flats. or $120 clutch
^^ I've wondered that, too. I feel like I'm spending too much if I spend $40 on a pair of pants. (I can't remember the last time I did that, actually).

Well, thanks log-a-licious.
I don't think there has been a time when I've wanted kids. My bf feels the same way. My parents aren't pushing having kids. In fact, I think I've only heard my mom mention grandkids once. She supports my decision to not have kids.
Now, my bf's mom is a different story. She keeps 2 kids during the day for her "job". Every time I am forced to see her she mentions grandkids and how she so conveniently has a stroller we could use. Then she laughs and says she is just kidding. If she is kidding, why does she say the EXACT same thing every single farkin time I see her? I swear, I may have to "take her out" one of these days. I know his dad would be happier.
I have a really good friend who had always felt she didn't want kids. She was perfectly satisfied with pets. I don't know what happened but Little Jack is now a year old.
Ya just never know...
At the same time I've known many women who didn't want and never had kids. The only drawback I see is when you get old there's nobody to take of you, the rest of the time it's a pain.
my house is NEVER clean something is destroyed everyday it's loud as hell around here they are expensive occasionally they tell me they hate me (which is met with immediate discipline) I have no freedom to do anything

Those are pretty much the reasons we don't want to have kids! I'm so irresponsible with money, and I hate to have to spend it on practical things (like toilet paper, I hate buying toilet paper. . .and laundry detergent). So, I have a feeling I'd get really frustrated having to pay for school supplies, shoes every few months, doctor's appointments, etc.
Plus, Jesus is afraid that if we have kids, he will get paid back for all the hell he raised when he was young. And I was a really good kid, so I don't want to be punished for his childhood/teenage years! ;D
Of course, the whole you-never-know thing is true . . . maybe someday . . .

^^^you do have cute kids
I grew up always saying "when I have kids" and "I'm gonna be such a cool dad" but then it really just hit me a month ago that I really don't want kids. If I could just skip the first 16 years of their life then I'd reconsider. but those first 16 years will cause me to pull a few too many hairs out of my head I believe...
Looks like we just need someone to take it between the ages of 2 through 5 and 12 through 16 . . . hmm, I can't imagine any sane person that would agree to that.
The only excuse I could have for wanting kids would be to have someone to take care of me when I'm old, but there is no guarantee they would do that.
I don't want to spend the money I don't have on them. I want to have peace and quiet. I don't want a dirty house. I like it clean.
I love babies, so if I could have a baby then give it up when it starts to talk, that would be great. Any takers?

From my experience 4 is the best. They are still little and cute, they can play independantly, pottie training is mostly done, and they haven't started pushing their will on you (mostly)
My husband and I want kids, but not for at least another few years... We've been together for over 8 yrs already and people are starting to assume that we're not going to have them... so the chatter has gone down some. Not the case with his folks, but they're always cute enough about it that it doesn't piss me off.
The worst was his brother. He and his fiance have visited us ONCE the whole time we've been together. We went out to dinner and they asked us if we planned on having kids. We said yes, someday. They said good, because his brother was getting a vasectomy. So now we have the added pressure of being the last in the bloodline as well.
I used to not want kids, but now I know I'll be ready when the time comes. It'll force me out of my anal retentive self centered universe a bit.

I agree completely
side note: I actually admire a woman who just "knows" that she does not want kids. I grew up knowing that I def wanted kids - man if I knew then what I know now

I feel you.
On sunday our car died. Monday morning we took it in, thinking that it was just in need of a new battery. Of course, it turned out to not be the battery at all. So we had to leave it over night while they checked it out. (it turned out to be the alternator. we have it back now.) Anyway.... As many of you may know, I just started a new job. Yesterday morning, the receptionist called me and asked me to come in "as soon as possible" to cover her shift. Keep in mind that I am not a recptionist and would have no idea what I was doing. Not to mention the fact that I've never even talked to this girl(i'm not even entirely sure if it was even the girl that i'm thinking of.). I tried to explain to her that my car was screwed-up and I was waiting to hear from the mechanic. She actually proceeded to hound me about it. She told me that I didn't need a car. I could just walk the 2 miles there (& it's HOT in Atl right now.), get someone to cover for me after the mechanic called and then walk the 3 miles to the shop to get my car before returning to do a job that I was never trained on. I tried to politely to explain that it was too far to walk, that I was also cleaning my house (while i waited) and that it was my day off (not to mention that IT'S NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY). She just got snottier and whinnier and told me that she had "personal matters" that she neede to take care of immediately. I, again, tried to explain that I had sh!t to do too and that I was sorry but, I just couldn't do it. We went through this song and dance several times before I said "I'm sorry but isn't there anyone else (more qualified) you can call?" She just said "I'll just call William(the owner) then!" and hung-up on me! (She may have been crying at that point but, it's kinda hard to tell since she slammed the phone down on me. And frankly, at that point, I just didn't give a damn.)
I mean, I'm sorry that she was having a sh!tty day....BUT SO WAS I! Obviously, all that mattered to her was her and her problems. I just don't understand why she thought that I would care about her when she obviously didn't care about me. WTF?
Guess what? That lying little whore told the owner that I "verbally abused" her. Before I could explain or defend myself, he fired me! He didn't have any interest in listening to a word I had to say. He told me that he simply wouldn't "tolerate or employ" anyone who would talk to another person like that. Even though he couldn't/wouldn't tell me a single thing that I was supposed to have said, he told me that she had worked for him for 5 years and she wouldn't ever make "something this serious" up. ....And that was it! Just for the record..... I never said ANYTHING mean, rude, insulting, derogatory, or obscene to her! What would've been the point? To alienate myself in the first week? To try and make her cry? To just be mean? To get fired? IT JUST DOESN"T MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL! That petty little bitch didn't get her way, so she lied about me! Plain and simple!
...AND while he easily could've called me yesterday (i was off) and tell me, instead he actually let me get up and drive to work just to be "let go" as soon as I walked in the door!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Isn't that fvcked up?

wow-I got super mad JUST reading that. Ultimately, this person will screw herself. She has that kind of character. I just wish you could be there to see it. Live by the sword, die by the sword. ALSO-even though you dont work there anymore, be glad you dont work for someone like that (the boss). Talk about bad character. That woman must be a serious manipulator. But, you know, what comes around goes around. If she got away with it this time shell do it again, maybe thats why she had 'issues'. She sounds like a mess and you can guess she is one miserable bitch. People like that are. Be glad you're free of that s*hit even though you have to find something else. You wont have to know those a-holes!
but I'm sure it's funny.
