I'm with you on number on, but I never EVER sit in public bathrooms. If my leg even brushes the toilet....*gag* Those places are just breeding grounds for nastiness.
I also hate forwarded emails. Come on people, at least tell me hi before your junk mail starts. I don't even open them anymore...delete...delete...delete
Waiting at the Dr's office *deep sigh* TWO hours at the dentist with my kids last week. Good thing I had a book to read.
Ok...I feel better now. Thanks Denise! :)
Tourists who take an hour and half to walk across a crosswalk oblivious to the rest of the world around them ...
People who finish my sentences - like they really know where I'm going with it ...
People who maintain barely a 1/2 an inch between your face and theirs when you're talking and if you back up, they move forward, back up, forward, until you're cornered and desperately wanting to flee ...
For me, Students who miss more than 3 classes a semester and then place the blame on me for their low grades.
And I so agree with you about the low rider jeans/thong combo. I have seen way more skin as a prof than anyone should have to. Don't their friends let them know it's not a plumber's convention?
Here here!!
I blogged your number one last year some time.
If you don't want to sit on the seat to pee, ladies, why do you mess it up for the rest of us who can't or won't hover!?!
No WONDER the seats are dirty. YOU make them dirty. LOL.

Hear, hear, Denise and Rachel! I totally agree. Drives me crazy to see a toilet seat left wet. And I ALWAYS sit. So I have to clean up after those who don't. Ick.
Oh Denise, you must try peruvian cotton--it's da bomb, lol
Here, here, Jaime!
Julie, I've never heard of Peruvian cotton. It doesn't wrinkle?
Alan, you crack me up. Plumbers' convention!?! LOL
OK, the thong thing reminds me of my current #1: the Muffin Top!! Do these girls think all that jiggly overhanging nekkid flesh looks GOOD?? I've seen some otherwise darling women RUIN their look by forcing too much batter over the top of the tin.
Not one in a thousand women can pull off a bare midriff and have it actually be attractive.
Dear Lord, deliver us!!! :)

13 year old girls with bigger boobs than me showing them to the world -- AT SCHOOL. My daughter has taken to giggling and saying, "Mommy, she's showing her chi chis." Then, she wrinkles her nose up.
A thirteen year old does not understand the power of boobage, where are her parents?
My number one is definitely when you gop to the hospital and see all the nurses lined up outside smoking. AGGHHH!!!! They work wih people who are dying becuase they smoked! That drives me crazy. And when people smoke outside the grocery store near the propane tanks. I think they must have a death wish. ;)
Another is when people say something negative about themselves in hope that you will compliment them. That really bothers me. I'm sure I've done it, but I still find it highly annoying.
Ok. wow - enough! But sometimes ranting feels good!
I have seen more nastiness in the public bathroom than I ever cared to.
I won't even go there!
People, Your mama did show you how to use the bathroom when you were little right?
People that don't let you talk ,they could care less about what your saying.
People that block you in the store, oblivious of anyone who wants by.
It's endless...Thank's for the ranting D. It feels good.
Anne Marie, if you're talking about not sitting on the seat, forget it! LOL That's the most crazy way to use the restroom I've ever seen. Totally won't do that. I just layer it with toilet paper.
Oh,I'm sorry Colleen if I did not make myself clear. :o
What I should have said was , I been in places
where the restrooms were so awful, no one could use them.
This has happened one to many times. :o
You have to pray God helps you to find another place to go.
Some people mess up the restroom's so bad sometimes.
It's not just wet. eeewwwwww sorry.
Doctor's office . . .I think I've come across a new way of handling this. I had a dentist appointment inbetween VBS and swim lessons this week. Dumb me for planning it that way, but I didn't have much choice (it was for some impressions that needed to be done). I called the day before and asked how likely it was that they'd run on time the next day and explained I had a small window of time. They told me to call at the end of VBS and they'd let me know how it was going. I did so, and they actually adjusted the time for me to come in because they knew they were running behind. I came 30 minutes later and only ended up waiting about 5 minutes. Tehehe . . .think I might start this everytime I'm going to an office that ALWAYS runs behind!
LOL! Great rant, Denise. I tend to agree with you on every one!
I'll just add one more...people who drive UNDER the speedlimit. Argh! I can't stand getting stuck behind them. Makes my pedal-foot itch!
People who are really early. I once had a shower guest arrive an hour and ten min. early. I was not even dressed for the party. Then there was the repair man who was supposed to come between 9 and 11 and came at 8:30. Ugh! I'd rather they be late!
No one says goodbye on the phone anymore.
What happened to please, thankyou, and good morning?
