I know my husband was extra nervous cause he knew i was about to grab her phone and shove it where there ain't no sun.what a jerk face loser she was.
sorry, i am not usually this harsh but i am glad you started this thread so i could vent.
thanks

That is very disrespectful! .. It would have taken everything for me to contain myself and keep my mouth shut!

I cannot stand when other cars don't pull over for an ambulance! .. Most ppl don't realize until it's your loved one in the back of that ambulance that your lack of pulling over can mean life or death!

The mail lady always giving us the wrong mail, no matter how many times we complain to the postmaster and he says it will never happen again or the neighbors getting our mail and bringing it to us.
People who tell the same stupid story over and over and over and over again.
The pharmacy never having your prescription ready when it's supposed to be.
Doctors bills and telemarketers/credit card companies selling you the protection plan.
Coworkers smoking in the office
Coworkers being right beside the empty coffeepot, but ask you to make the coffee.
People not loading the dishwasher, just putting dishes in the sink.
Customers who just want to complain about everything.
Cops who think they're above the law. I know a few cops who turned out to be criminals.
Cops who don't follow the posted speed limits signs, so why should we.
Teenage kids who have nothing better to do than get into trouble
People who have kids and don't take care of them
The price of gas steady increasing

i can walk maybe 30-50 ft maybe a little farther, but i drive to a strore slap my placard on the mirror and walk to the back and unload my wheelchair all the while on my own 2 feet after that tho i better be sitting or else, and my disability is the main reason i'm overweight.

just because you can't see an illness doesn't mean there isn't one

you quoted that entire section of my post, but i don't think you took it all in. i said people I KNOW FOR A FACT, as in i know them personally or are very familiar with them through other people. i didn't say anything about you, or anyone else that i don't have a clue about.

and thank you kyla kim, that's exactly what i was getting at. i was not trying to offend anyone in any way.

My big gripe for the day--

Parents who don't bring toys or books to occupy their own kids. I'm tired of dragging stuff for one kid to play with while the other is at soccer practice and then poof, here comes every other kid around asking, "Can I play with that? Are you playing with that? I WANT THAT!" And the mom is too busy running her mouth to somebody to even know what's going on. There's one 2 yr old that drives my 7 year old nuts. I end up having to send the kid back to his mom so he doesn't break all of my son's stuff.

Summer at the pool-- once again I lug all the kids' pool toys so they will be occupied and magically everybody else's kid appears. I'm always amazed at how these kids will come right up to a complete stranger and say, "Are you playing with that? Can I play with it now?" Either that or they just take it.

I'm so TIRED of having to be the bad guy. I'm tired of everytime I go in the front yard with my kid, the neighbors "send" their kids out to play. They don't come out with them, just send them over to me. If I wanted more than two kids, I would have more kids of my own.

no offense taken, i wasn't meaning to single you out but i've been on that end, before i got my power chair people would see me walk in walmart and grab a store scoot and say something like 'if that fat ass would walk someone who really needed that could use it' i just used your comment to remind others

OOOO That irritately the crap outta me too! I will take my kids to the beach & have stuff for them, & the next thing I know my 4yo dd is cryin cuz some lil brat is walkin away with her pail and shovel...and their parents seem to not care even tho they clearly saw them do it and THEY DO NOTHING about it!!

What about people who block you in the aisle at the grocery store and doesnt hear you say "excuse me"??? When you know fully well you said it loud enough for that person to hear you.... In other words, an Aisle hogger???? Or what about when people look at what you have in your grocery cart, it makes me feel like I shouldnt be buying a certain item, like its a no-no or I am too cheap to buy a better brand???

• Women who wear their clothing too tight.
• Women who wear clothing that's too young for them.
• Muffin tops & whale tails.
• Bratty children who scream your eardrums out.
• People who smoke then get all close to talk to you with their smoker's breath.
• People who leave small dogs & cats outside in winter. If you can't take care of them (and that includes keeping them WARM.. and I don't mean in a dog house) don't have them.
• People who bitch about being broke all of the time but still manage to pay for the internet. I understand that it's one small expense..but when you're talking about not being able to feed your family...give me a freaking break.
• Tweens who trick or treat without costumes.
• My fiance's brother.
• People who don't pay better attention to what their teenagers are doing then get all pissed off when they find out that little Sue is an internet stripper.
• People who have to bring politics and religion into everything. It's important, but it's NOT life.
• Right now.. that "special time of the month". Argh!
• People who always have to one up others.
• Fat people in bikinis & speedos. For the love of God & humanity.. they make one pieces and swim trunks for a reason.
• Parents to feed their kids complete crap then act pissed off when someone mentions that their child is unhealthy.
• EVERYTHING! ;D

As for the non disabled overweight people who use the store electric wheelchairs, I have a little story. I have no idea what so ever if they woman was actually disabled, but judging by her size I'd say her weight qualified her as such. There was a woman, I'd say about 24-27ish probably around 450lbs. She was riding around on one of the wheelchairs eating a Big Mac. Seriously, chomping down on a burger and fries. My Mom and I ran back into her while looking for tins of cookies and she'd opened one of those candy tins and was throwing down on that in the middle of the aisle. People like that, I have NO pity for.
