    my Pet Peeves (long)

    Okay I had to venture here
    I live in Portland which is a nice/strange town, but some things here really piss me off

    People who talk on cell phones on buses, restaurants cafes or any where in public that other people have to listen to these selfish pri**s. I go outside if my phone rings.

    Blocking sidwalks so others can't pass as you jabber away with your friends. especially Moms with baby strollers and the elderly need to get by MAKE ROOM MORON

    Screaming late at night after you've had a few too many drinks
    (Amatuers,) I don't want to be rude and throttle you after you wake me up. I get up at 4:30 AM for work
    I don't do that in your neighborhood, don't do it in mine, oh yeah use the facilities BEFORE you leave the bar. Let me know where you live so I can pee on your front steps

    After you spend 10 minutes trying to park in front of my house and block MY DRIVEWAY, don't get pissed when I tell you its a $200 tow, plus ticket , I can't tell ya how many times people knock on my door at 1 am and say Dude where's my car? (it was towed 3 hours ago) New fangled car alrams and security systems take 10 seconds to disarm by a towing company, its amazing what those guys can do.

    Littering, Teach your kids (and adults) about bieng responsible for thier garbage, I don't litter at your house. and I dont want to clean up your sh*t

    Contrary to what you may think, You do not look cool or better with green/ purple hair.You will not be 20 forever.

    Yes Kiddies Punk died years ago, take the chains the leather "ramones" jacket and the mohawk back (see the get a job section )

    If you are going to have a party, after 12 or 1 AM take it inside or I'll have to shoot you or the DJ. That always ruins a good party

    If you are young and able, try, try try to get a job, I don't have spare change or cigarettes so you can sit on the sidewalk, (where all the dogs pee) hang out and smoke cigarettes all day. Don't curse me or try to make me feel guilty by saying "Have a nice day, God loves you"

    Driving your car down my street at 50 MPH and blowing thru a stop sign. Stop signs are there for one reason SLOW DOWN STOP! People have been killed and maimed (I have almost been hit numerous times crossing the street) If one of you idiots hits me and I am able to get up, you had better run for your life.

    If you are going to ride mass transit, take a bath more than once in awhile, don't overdue the go**am perfume either

    Don't spit in public, It's rude, unsanitary and Its disgusting

    Dont throw your cig butts on the ground, or out your automobile window, i will have to shove them in your mouth

    Don't clean out all your Starbucks' cups and McDonald garbage and dump on the curb before you take off.I would like to drive to your haous and do the same but I work and have no time

    Sandals and socks, it looks goofey and your feet get wet

    The fifteen tattoos you have on your arms, neck and forehead along with multiple piercings, the shaved head. Hey, If you want to look like an idiot I don't have too much trouble with that, but getting employed beyond short order cook for 6 bucks an hour may be tough in the REAL world. and Ladies you cannot work at Starbucks forvever, or waitress at the fancy cafe, They want young, ATTRACTIVE people for that

    Mullets and dirty baseball caps, tee shirt dirty jeans. Now theres a look, Achy Breaky Mistakey

    And finally If you have a dog CLEAN UP the POOP after it's done doing it's business on the sidwalk, or I'll have to put it on your car our your front steps as a courtesy to others


    There I feel better now:drl

    Those cell phones with the damn walkie talkies built into them are even worse. Now I get to hear BOTH sides of the freakin' conversation!!!

    All of the things that you mentioned are even worse here in the San Francisco Bay Area.

    Add to that - red light runners, especially those asswipes that continue to turn left in front of me long after the light has changed. It's like an unwritten rule that if you're in motion before the light changes, you have the right to go through on red. We all have somewhere we need go. That's why we are in our cars, idiots. Your time isn't any more valuable than mine. Don't endanger my life, as well as your own, to shave a minute off your drive time.

    The other thing that totally pisses me off is elevator behavior. I could write an entire essay on dumbass people and elevators.

    Everything you list is considered just a quality of life issue.

    Relax.

    You'll live longer.

    If we weren't so civilized, survival of the fittest would have killed off these bozos long ago.

    Even though I live in the city It's in the oldest part and looks much like an old suburb, but cause there aint nothing between where I live and Seattle, people come from every nook, crevice and rock to be where I live, cause there is nowhere else to go. It does have it;s advantages as far as accessability to events and resources, but my kvetching is purely things that I see as problems that deal with an ignorance unmatched.

    That walking out in the street law is in place in Washington.
    I'll just send you to Washington....Okay?

    Yea,I have been guilty of the cell phone thingy.
    Well, I try not to make it a habit anyway.

    For some reason I've gotten caught in the line at Wal-Mart a few times lately, and had to catch the call.

    I suck!!!

    I'm not complaining about the once in awhile cell call you get because your wife wants you ti pick up milk for the kids, I'm talking about 1 hour complete a hole coversations with business clients and boyfriend/girlfriends, in public at the expense of quiet enjoyment After they are done, they dial another number and keep going. That rude inconsiderate and selfish behaviour is what I am talking about
