How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Monday Morning Rant

in Everyday on 05/16/11

It’s been a wild and busy weekend and I have some complaints!

Bad drivers make me crazy.  Worse then that, men who assume it’s always a woman who is the bad driver! Sure I may suck at parallel parking, but last I checked that was PARKING not driving. Just sayin’ I am an excellent driver.

People who give away the ending to reality TV shows.  I don’t love the girl who announces on twitter or at the school drop off “Can you believe XXXX won Survivor?”.  Shutie! Have you people not heard of PVR’s? Maybe SOME of us haven’t seen the ending yet!

Wet rainy days and dogs that must pee outside.  Seriously, why can’t my pup learn how to wipe her feet already.

Skinny girls who imply that they are fat.  If you are fishing for a compliment from me….keep dangling honey, not gonna happen.  Confidence has to come from the inside, not fished for compliments.

Doctors that run an hour behind. Yep, we know you are important but guess what, my time is too.

Drunk girls.  Not just having a drink and a giggle drunk girls.  Really drunk girls, with their boobs all hanging out.  Congratulations, you have boobs, half the planet does.  Be a little less proud of them and have a little more respect for yourself and cover those babies up. 

End of Rant.

Go ahead, add your complaint, it feels good to get it off your chest!

      Yea!I agree on all fronts! Oddly enoug, I would rather drive in down town Toronto then anywhere near big box stores in the burbs… We had to go to one on Saturday and it’s insane mix of SUVs all driving as fast as possible to get into what ever massive store… It freaked me out !

      My GPIs ALWAYS on time, I love that about her. But she’s young, i find the young ones are more punctual.

      I hate hate hate leaf blowers, my neighbours just brought one and I could think was that he should be raking the leafs, he could use the exercise and my brain could use the break from the noise.

      I am nodding with EVERY one of these. The doctor thing especially. Seems that the folks in the white coats think that their hundreds of thousands of dollars of school debt is enough to make them SO important not to show up on time. Ugh. Drives me crazy. At least you are going on vacay soon to get away from it all!

      Parallel parking? Should be outlawed. That is my rant!

      LOL… i can only parallel park if the space is huge. : )

      Old lazy dogs who decide that if it’s raining they should just pee on the carpet in front of the door instead of actually getting wet at the bottom of the stairs.

      I hear you on shows being ruined. That is why I avoid everyone now until I watch my shows.

      May 16, 2011 at 3:30 pm

      I can handle the spoilers, but the skinny/fat girls drive me crazy!

    9. Danica says

      May 16, 2011 at 2:33 pm

      I agree with you on everything as well!

      My complaint is from something I saw on Friday.

      If you’re going to wear a white sun dress be sure you don’t have dark underwear on and be sure it actually fits you. I don’t want to see your boobs hang out when you bend over. UGH

      May 16, 2011 at 2:31 pm

      I am with you on all points!!!!
      How about rude people in the checkout line who like to be so CLOSE to me??? back off.

      A-to-the-Men on dogs and rain. Mine has a particular penchant for needing extra trips outside on rainy days just AFTER I’ve cleaned the house and got it smelling like roses. Humph.

      Lol too funny! I can’t Parallel park worth shit either. But hubby can do it with his eyes closed and it pisses me off. He’s a mechanic and cars and driving is in his blood but still.

      Sadly I have no people to see to socialize with to have the endings of shows spoiled for me.

      Doctors are asses! All they do is mess you up more so you have to keep on going back to them so they can make for money off of you! I’ve lived at the doctors since my accident and I HATE THEM!

    13. Heather says

      May 16, 2011 at 12:58 pm

      I can agree with you on all that, but it is my own kids who are always giving the ending away!

      Lets see- I would like to rant to.
      Bad drivers are my worst enemy. It bothers me when people use FB and twitter to get their stupid cynical views on the world out to everyone. I hate when I wake up and there is no more cereal for me to eat. I hate that I get big boobs when I get pregnant. I just don’t like them. I am with you on the drunk girls. Ridiculous!

    15. Brian Miller says

      i hear you on the boobs…no really…doctors, sad to say, i have come to expect it, wish i could charge them for my time…drivers, college graduation was in town this weekend as well as 30,000 people which made for some terrible driving experiences…
