I miss my skating days. "What a drag it, is growing old..."

I feel your pain. I'm a left over figure skater.

It was a typo, the word I wanted to use was spooks.

He means spooks. He mispells to make me feel better. (tongue in cheek.)
 
Re: This is all off topic!

Ok here is another thing that irritates me. Please don't jump all over me, I do understand the reasoning behind it.

Going out for a nice dinner and someone brings a baby and the baby cries through the whole dinner.

That (baby) and kids that run all over the place. That is so dangerous. Or someone smoking in the non smoking section.
 
Re: This is all off topic!

As a former Waiter, I want to pour hot coffee all over the parents of kids who don't teach their kids to sit and behave in restaurants. What I REALLY want to do is tell them how obviously they DON'T LOVE their children by being so self absorbed as to not protect them from harm in what is one of the most potentially dangerous situations that there is. Servers flying around with trays full of hot food, coffee pots, breakable items, cutlery and a host of other things with children underfoot are an accident waiting to happen. But, these are the very first people that would call a lawyer if something happened to "little precious."

.....GrGranny......my gall bladder incision took 15 staples to close. I was sick for about a year before they figured out it was my gall bladder. I lost 50 pounds in the processa because I was afraid to each anything but soda crackers....

....More pet peeves about driving.....I can understand the dangers of driving while talking on cell phones, but drivers have been driving "dangerously" before the cell phone. What about people who while driving.......eat, drink, read road maps, flick channels or insert tapes of C.D.s, put make-up on, shave, discipline children (even when their in the back seat), nurse babies (yes, I actually saw a mother the other day driving, nursing her baby, and talking on the cell phone at the same time), balance their checkbooks, dig through their purses or glove compartments, reach down to the floor to retrieve a dropped item........the list goes on and on........42
 
Re: This is all off topic!

sk8m8,
I agree with you that parents who take kids to restaurants should teach the kids table manners and not to run around. When my 4 kids were young, I took them out and they were always very well behaved. My problem *back then* and also now with my little grand kids is with the servers who always manage to put hot drinks, hot dishes & knives on the table right in front of the baby or toddler. It's not as if the servers didn't/don't know the babies weren't/aren't sitting there with us! :rolleyes:

Pet peeves
I don't know if this has happened to any of you. You're at a restaurant, someone's home or any public place, you excuse yourself to use the men's room and when you come back someone asks you, "Did everything come out ok?"

Pet peeves
Dealing with celebrities. I pretend to not know who they are. It's funny thing. If you acknowledge a celebrity and treat them like they are equal to everyone else, they act annoyed. If you don't acknowledge them as a celebrity and therefore you superior, they are even more annoyed.

Dennis Rodman is everything he appears to be.
He sat next to me at Capie’s restaurant. I refused to make eye contact even though the place is all mirrors. He sat at the table next to me. Actually, he sat right next to me. So I get up to go to bathroom and sure enough he comes into the bathroom with all those nose rings and all and stands next to me at the urinal. I couldn’t believe it, but he peaked at me.
When I worked the box office at Cheval Theatre Lorie Metcalf came to my window. It was about 10:00 in the morning. She wanted to go into the stables and look at the horses. While my supervisor went to get someone to assist her, she waited at my window. She was with her son and husband. No one else was in line so I had to wait with her for about ten minutes. I tried to make conversation with her while I processed sale. She said almost nothing. What I really wanted to do is tell her son to quit opening up the ropes to the other box office window because there was no one there to attend them if more customers were to come to make purchases. She had a white head on her ear that was really gross, so I just played solitaire on the computer while she stood there not saying anything.
On another occasion, Darrel Hanna came to the window. I didn’t know who Darrel Hanna was. So, when she asked for her tickets on will call, I just gave them to her. I think that she was ticked that I didn’t acknowledge who she was.
Patula Clark came to my window, one time. She was polite and didn’t say much more than thank you for her tickets.
Elijah Blue, (Cher’s son) came to the box office wearing freaky contact lenses. He had an entourage with him. He acted as though he though he was bitchin, but he not. Actually, he was kind of chubby.
My next-door neighbor was best friends with Bill Medley of the Righteous Brothers. It was an apartment just a wall between us. Our front doors were about a foot apart. Periodically, I would be sitting in my recliner and there Bill Medley would be standing in my door way waiting for Mike to answer the door. One time I was in Mike’s apartment connecting his television with his stereo receiver so he could hear his TV through his stereo speakers. Bill Medley was just sitting there watching me. I couldn’t seem to get the connections right; yet he sat there and watched me. I just thought hey big shot world famous singer, you must know something about stereos. Couldn’t you give me a hand? Also, one time I got Cirque Du Soleil tickets for him for a show that was more or less sold out. These were tickets that were saved for the last minute and were not available to the public until 10 minutes before the show. Mike told me that Bill would return the favor. Actually, we wanted back seat passes to Cher in Las Vegas. I guess he forgot.
One time were partying on the beach in Laguna. When we left, we decided to cut through a hotel to get to our cars. There on the lawn in front of the hotel was Barbara Billing sly and Harriet Nelson. I said, hey aren’t you The Beavers Mom? She just said, Hello boys, how's the water? Harriet said nothing but just smiled and looked the other way.
We come across Martha Rae, in the Little Shrimp in Laguna Beach. The Little Shrimp, is a gay bar restaurant in Laguna. Martha Rae, being a fag hag from way, (Actually, she may have been the first fag hag,) Use to come in and sing My Funny Valentine, periodically. I asked her if she was the big mouth, (She used to do a polygrip commercial) In the commercial she would say, “I’m the big mouth here to tell you about polygrip.” So, when I asked her if she was the big mouth she just said, yes I am.
And of course my friend Bridget Riley (Married one of the Huttons.) Did bit parts in the movies, she knew everyone and told me a million stories about all the big names. Remind me to tell you about her laterThere are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. And, the rest of them who have who have to pee on the electric fence.

The final quote was Will Rogers. Somehow it got mushed in with my post.

Re: This is all off topic!

My friend LaFonda had a double masectomy a few months ago. She is also, having the tummy tuck. She doesn't think I can get into the OR to watch the tummy tuck. But the final touches on the breast is to believed to be an in office proceedure. So, for my birthday, she is going to see if I can watch them put new nipples on. Some people may find it gross, but I find it interesting. I have always been facsinated by plastic surgury. That's why I am appling to be on the TV program, Extreme make overs. I just have to come up with a good reason why the program, Extreme make overs should select me.

Re: This is all off topic!

Pet peeves:

The man who pressed up against me in the grocery store this morning. NOT a good idea!

People who talk on their cell phones in a very LOUD voice! Do they really believe I give a rat's behind?

The person who made a sudden left turn in front of me Saturday evening! Now THAT really got on my last good nerve! (Lexi rolled her window down, and having no impulse control at this time yelled, well never mind....:rollin: )

People who call me a B**** as if it were a bad thing!

Ok, now this one is my truly BIGGEST peeve...and it's totally new due to certain circumstances:

People who stand by and watch your child collapse to the floor then stand and stare at her without offering to help.

OR:

The woman who helped get Lexi back to her feet but then proceeded to tell ME I shouldn't take my daughter out in public if she couldn't behave correctly. AND that my daughter is obviously too old to have temper tantrums on the floor like that.

Ok, now those last two REALLY set me off.

Gee, this is a fun off topic:rollin:
