Beats using a rock, I suppose.
Is it just me or does anyone else think that if you have to wash your washing machine, something's not right? Maybe it's a conspiracy created by the Tide people. Or maybe people are just trying to be too fancy.... Continue reading

Livin' in 1993
Someone left a voicemail at my office today asking me to fax them a document regarding an invoice I'd sent out. A) Who still has a fax? B) In the time it took me to print out the document &... Continue reading

People in my office can't even be bothered to put their dirty cups in the almost empty dishwasher. They set them in the sink!

No Kisses
When you share cupboards of communal coffee cups, it's common courtesy to scrub the lipstick smears off of the cups, is it not?
They are not children.
When in our society did people go from being dog and cat owners to "pet parents?" I know that people dress up their pets like children, but aren't those people still deemed as slightly nutty? Yes, I understand that you... Continue reading

Telephone Man
Why people insist on making very personal calls in their cube is beyond me. I really don't want to hear about your scarred uretha. Continue reading

Light it up
The neighbors down the street have had Christmas lights up on their house since I moved in which was in August. Of course, they still haven't turned on the lights. Take them down or turn them on! Continue reading

RSVP This
It never ceases to amaze me when supposedly educated people do not understand the concept of RSVP. "RSVP" is not a correct reply to an RSVP request on an invitation. I'm still not sure if that person is going to... Continue reading

Miserable is right
I'm pretty sure I'm the only one in the United States who doesn't like Les Miz. I had to watch the movie, not the musical mind you, in French class in junior high. I have no idea what people find... Continue reading

People do that shit to me all the time! People who I know have an iPhone and an iPad both of which can be used from any location that has a cellular signal. The best is when someone with an iPhone calls me on it to look up something that they could have googled on said iPhone!

"Karen" is not spelled G-O-O-G-L-E
Why am I the respository of all information? People call me all the time at work to ask for stuff not related to my job. Is the post office closed on Veteran's Day? What's the time difference between here and Sao Paulo? Is Christopher Plummer still alive? This morning I had a message on my voice...
They really need a lesson in manners.

Drowning in Godliness
The three temps who are working in my office have just spent the last hour and a half going on and on about the glory of God and everything that is great about God. I don't want to complain about them to their boss because I like them and their boss is my passive-aggressive coworker. We are crowd...
There's nothing crazy about basic hygiene. I am disgusted by the same thing.

Turkey Carcass
I will be glad once this week end has passed because I am hopeful that will bring an end to the nonstop "news" stories on "Black Friday" shopping. When certain family members are famous for lollygagging and showing up whenever they damn well please, do not even entertain the thought of holdin...
Lines, lines, everywhere lines.
It doesn't matter whether it's the grocery store or a lane on the freeway, I'm am awful at picking out a good line. I could be one of three customers at Target. There are three lines open. None of them... Continue reading

I can't stop eating leftover Halloween candy, but don't have hurricane stress as an excuse. At least you have that.

Leftover Halloween candy + baked goods + lasagna + hurricane stress eating = fatty
Let's hear it again!
I will never understand why people who work in cubes make personal calls. I don't want to hear all of your business. Also, I don't want to hear the same story multiple times. Seriously, if I have to hear about... Continue reading

Politicking me off
While I support the fact that everyone has the right to their opinion, I really don't want to hear it in the office. Shocking as this may seem, not everyone agrees with your point of view. Just because I don't... Continue reading

Thank you! Why can't people see the whole equation when it comes to calculating parking time? They just see the end of the day.
Commented Aug 23, 2012 on Park it, buddy. at The Peevery
Park it, buddy.
I will never understand the back in parking style. It always looks like it takes more effort than the pull in, so why would I bother? Is there some magical, time saver of which I am unaware when one parks backward? I'm not talking about the pull through, but the back in when your front is out ...

Confab
Standing in the middle of the doorway of the restroom in an office building is a poor choice to bitch about your coworkers, family or whoever else you feel the need to speak of in low, hushed tones. Don't get... Continue reading

Abandonded!
My local Target is a poorly managed nightmare. There are never enough checkout counters open regardless of the time of day. I girded my loins as I approached the double stacked registers this evening and picked what seemed like the... Continue reading

Not giving any care
Apparently my office is also doubling as someone's day care this summer. I'd be OK with a kid there if they were contained to their parents' office area, but plopping them in the vacant cube near my desk? Lame. I... Continue reading

Why do people text, "Are you busy?" What do you want? A text has 160 characters, surely you can hint at your desire just a little bit. It's not like I can't ignore your message or pretend I didn't get... Continue reading

I hate that too. Seriously, men tweet things that are more interesting and that's only 140 characters. What the hell?

Low Interest
A guy contacts me on a dating site and I reply with what I feel like is a thought out response. I ask questions about what I've read in his profile. I may share information about myself relating to what I've read in his profile (Oh you like this author, I love this author blahblahblah). I try to...
Here's your sign?
I will never understand why those little delis (I use the term loosely) in office parks and high rise buildings always have handwritten signs. Do they not have access to a printer? It can't be that expensive to have something... Continue reading

Tea Time
Is this a California thing? Why do restaurants put fruit flavors in iced tea? Isn't tea a flavor? If I wanted something with mango or passion fruit in it, I'd drink juice! Stop trying to make it fancy. It's iced... Continue reading

What did you just say?
If you are in the restroom and you see a coworker come out of a stall, "Whatcha up to?" is an inappropriate greeting. Continue reading
