Posted: 6/7/2008 8:16:48 PM | Is there something people always say to you that you would rather they just not.
Here are 3 of my own examples:
1. When my springer spaniel was young, she used to pull hard on the leash, prompting people to say, "Who is taking who for a walk?" (Please, don't say this to me. I have heard it 1o1 times.)
2. Because I have a rather long summer vacation, people always feel inclined to tell me when it is over and ask how I feel about it. (I pretend that it is news to me that my holidays are over.)
3. When I was seriously injured, people kept asking me about my injury. (I didn't want to talk about it.)
I know people sometimes have good intentions and are just making conversation.
What are some things you would rather not hear? | |

Posted: 6/7/2008 9:04:58 PM | When I'm working and well aware how beautiful the weather is outside I really wish people wouldn't make the extra effort to let me how blue the sky is, or how hot it is out there.
2. That my car sounds like a piece of crap - I know this...I listen to it every time I turn the key.
3. If I had a rough night or am sick - don't tell me I look like crap (it really doesn't make me feel or look better)
4. When I am working please don't tell me not to squish your bread, or not to bruise your apples....I've been doing this job for years and pride myself on the care I take with people's merchandise.
Just because I work in customer service does not mean I am uneducated nor does it mean I am less of a person than you are. | |

The other work-related one is when people ask "Do you know what you're doing?" I usually reply with a sarcastic "no". | |

...Hey, did you see the women being dragged down the street by a springer spaniel and weimeraner...Can you say..."who's walking who?"

Did you know Xavery is on a long, Cote d'Azur holiday this summer?
I wonder who is taking care of her springer and weimeraner?
Who ever has them probably has no arms left...they are pullers you know.

Posted: 6/8/2008 5:04:55 AM | Working at a truck stop:
"What is WITH the price of fuel these days?!"
To which I usually reply:
"You know sir/miss, I'm not quite sure, I spend all of my time under a rock when I'm not at work here. But I think that evil man G.W.Bush has something to do with it!!"
"Do you know what the weather is supposed to be like?"
"Yes... I do, because my name is Wayne Cox " | |

Posted: 6/8/2008 2:46:47 PM | Only women do some verbal cross referencing when displeased. Men never do this. It goes something like this: "You're just like _________!"
Insert name of dreaded disliked person with facial deformities and obvious traits.
This is usually to avoid giving any specific reason for the hidden grudge, blame or condemnation. | |

Posted: 6/8/2008 4:04:23 PM | #1 "I know you probably get this a lot but what kind of dog is that?"
I get this 20 or 30 times a day sometimes, she is very different and I understand peoples curiosity, it's just annoying after awhile. I'm always polite and stop to talk, she is a great conversation starter, it's the ones that holler from across the road that I could really do without.
#2 "What's his name?" Her name is Sue.
"You know what they say about people who name their dogs after people" First of all, she has a pink collar with a pink heart (no I didn't buy it for her!) and second of all, Sue is short for Frontrunners Suicide Blond, so there.
For those who want to know, she is an Ibizan Hound. | |

Posted: 6/8/2008 5:23:52 PM | 1) When my wife passed away,, people used to say,, I know how you feel.. as if they had clue,
2) It must be hard raising your son alone,, I never complain,, because I love it,, yet people think it's a awful place to be..
3) When someone I know asks my opinion,, sometimes the truth hurts..
4) It only costs a dollar a day,, I say good,, you wouldn't mind then, spending a dollar a day of your money,, in my name,, thank you very much.. | |

Posted: 6/8/2008 8:59:18 PM | To post #20...
1] When people come up to us and say, "Do you know your daughter looks just like Dakota Fanning?" Oh but she 'is' Dakota Fanning, would you like her autograph?
2] After I've spent the day in the sun, "Wow!!! you should see all you're freckles!!"
What???? I have freckles?? OMG I had no idea... When the hell did that happen??
3] This one is daily... "How long have you been growing your hair?" [it's 3ft. long]
Oh I dunno, probably ever since sometime just before birth just like everyone else!
And one more for good measure,
" Wow, your hair is sooooo long it must be soooo hard to take of!!" Oh yeah, I wash it, I condition it, I comb it......And this one time... at band camp...I even brushed it!!!
I'm so exhausted, quick someone rub my feet and get me a Martini.  | |

Posted: 6/8/2008 9:37:56 PM | | ^^^ just like with the sunscreen- people think you've never looked in the mirror- ever!! | |

Posted: 6/8/2008 10:14:46 PM | 1. Don't tell me what to do.
2. Don't tell me HOW to do whatever it is you want me to do.
Failure to adhere to the above will get you a.) glared at, b.) cursed at or c.) ignored. Action dependent upon my mood. | |

Posted: 6/8/2008 11:24:47 PM | "..That's Nothing...when I, (did, went, had, shopped for, told, saw, etc.), it was., .......(somehow better than you)."
Arrogant phrases to cover low self worth.
It's the 'That's Nothing....', that gives me the urge to load me rifle.
People that finish my sentences, and they are ALWAYS wrong !!
.........anything judgemental. That can piss me off fast. It's a sign of a stupid person who doesn't think. | |
