How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

People Who Can Suck It

in Everyday on 01/04/14

Rude.  I know, so rude.  Don’t care.  Today, I am putting it out there.  It’s the beginning of a new year and it’s time for a rant, you know, just to start the year off on the right foot!!  So here it is, the list of people on my $hit list.

You might be on my list if you:

*Park in the “Handicapped Only” parking and don’t belong there.

*Park like this guy during the Boxing week sales! 

Parking

(In other news, why can’t all parking lots be like Costco parking lots?  I big puffy heart their oversized spaces.) 

*If you gossip and call names, you are on my list.  Grow up already.

*Design clothes clearly meant for Barbie dolls instead of women.  On the list.

*Ring my doorbell at 9:30pm at night to sell me a coupon book?  If you can read said coupon book, you can read my “No Soliciting Sign”.

*Put sugar in my “Coffee with double cream.”  I know, first world problems, but the double cream is bad enough, I can’t be adding sugar in there.

*You are a Dentist.  Sorry, I’m just not that into you.

*Tailgaters.

*Close Talkers.

*People with chronic halitosis and will not accept my gift of free gum.  If you are offered gum shortly after a garlicky meal, it’s probably not someone just being generous, it’s probably a strong suggestion. 

*Close Talkers with Chronic Halitosis?  I don’t even know where to start with you.

*Whoever is was who ate my Crunchie bar.  (note to self: hide chocolate better)

Ahh I feel better already.  Starting the new year off right with nothing on my chest and no worries in my heart.  This year I will not let the petty gossipers to me, will not weigh myself down with worry, or let petty troubles get in the way of enjoying every single day.  Have some rants to get off your chest?  Feel free to rant on!  Add them to my comments below! 

Wishing  you all a happy, stress free and joy packed new year! xoxo

      I just hate when people take up two parking spots. If you have to do that, you should park way out at the end of the lot.

      And yes, the ignorers of my “No Soliciting” sign. Grrrr.

        I know! Why can’t the “sport” parkers just go to the back of the lot? Crazy!
        And when the door bell rings and it’s a solicitor after dark, I have no problem telling them to take a hike!

      I love these! 🙂

        Sometimes it just feels good to get the things bothering you off your chest 🙂

      i love the pic!

      • Stephanie says

        Can you imagine!

    4. Debbie says

      Loved your rant! I say “ditto”. In general, people do not care about other people. The person who parked their car incorrectly, was only concerned about getting dings in their car and not other people.

      • Stephanie says

        January 11, 2014 at 5:38 pm

        You are so right, and when I’m in a good mood I can just laugh this kind of stuff off, but when Mama’s angry the rant begins 🙂 LOL

    5. Lisa says

      January 5, 2014 at 3:54 am

      Ha, ha. Love this.

      • Stephanie says

        January 11, 2014 at 5:38 pm

        Happy New Year to you!

    6. Anita says

      January 4, 2014 at 11:57 pm

      Your rants are always funny!

      The complaint about someone eating your chocolate reminds me of some chocolate that I currently have hidden. Why do we do that!? lol

      Happy New Year to You and Your Family, Stephanie!

      • Stephanie says

        January 11, 2014 at 5:37 pm

        I am so glad I could help you remember your candy stash!!! 🙂
        Happy Belated Ney Year to you and yours !

    7. Deborah Pucci says

      January 4, 2014 at 8:11 pm

      Love your list and I agree 100%. Yes you have to hide the candy better. For me I wear +size clothes and they have the ugliest patterns which only make you stand out more in a crowd, also a lot of sleeveless or barely a sleeve, sorry my arms are fat too!

      • Stephanie says

        January 11, 2014 at 5:36 pm

        Yup, newest resolution, hide the candy better! Oh and those ugly patterns with no sleeves, they come in every size! LOL

    8. Gigi says

      January 4, 2014 at 6:18 pm

      Fabulous list. Let me add

      * People who don’t use their blinkers
      * People who meander down the middle of the parking lot instead of off to the side
      * Rude & inconsiderate people of all types

      I could go on and on!

      Happy New Year!

      • Stephanie says

        January 11, 2014 at 5:32 pm

        LOL Love your additions! Rude people are at the top of my list!

    9. Karen says

      January 4, 2014 at 6:00 pm

      Worst then the super crappy parker, is having to park right next to them… if they leave first, then ppl assume YOU’RE the terrible person & hate on you! I get more self conscious then I probably should about that fact! lol. Great list!

      • Stephanie says

        January 11, 2014 at 5:31 pm

        Oh I have had that happen!!! I drive an SUV so am so afraid of getting the blame for being the big bad parker!

    10. Single Mom in the South says

      January 4, 2014 at 5:10 pm

      Gracious you make me laugh! Driving around with LB’s kids here, I noticed he’s particularly bad at parking my tank. His car is much smaller! He introduced My Girl to a the concept of tailgaters one night by turning on the light in the car and have her wave at the person tailgating them. She says it solved the problem, I think he’s lucky he didn’t get them both shot!

      • Stephanie says

        January 11, 2014 at 5:30 pm

        LOL I think you’re right!! There are some crazy people out there, that’s why I prefer to rant from behind my computer screen 🙂

    11. Melinda L. says

      January 4, 2014 at 3:48 pm

      Awesome rant!! I know the feeling, it’s good to get it out of your system 🙂 I totally agree with you on everything you say. Oh and when it comes to chocolate…there is no hiding them!!

      • Stephanie says

        January 11, 2014 at 5:29 pm

        How on earth can these little people find our chocolate stashes? LOL New resolution. Better chocolate hiding spots!

    12. Lynda Cook says

      January 4, 2014 at 3:34 pm

      LOL love your rant, I agree with you on the parking, it doesn’t matter where you go you always have that one person. I myself do have a handicap sign and when I park in the spot, I can’t believe how many people have to come running up to my car to see if I do have a sign..is it because I am only 45 and not 80. No matter where you hide your chocolate they will always find it lol

      • Stephanie says

        January 11, 2014 at 5:28 pm

        I have to hope those people running to check to see if you have a handicap sign would also be the one’s the fastest to defend you when someone was taking up your spot 🙂
        And you’re right. Must find better spots for our chocolate!

    13. Vodka Logic says

      January 4, 2014 at 2:17 pm

      That is a great list, I could add, joggers and walkers who use the street and not the sidewalk.

      • Stephanie says

        January 11, 2014 at 5:25 pm

        Agreed!! Joggers on the street especially when the roads are slippery! They are just asking to get hit by a car. Grr

    14. Emily Cotton says

      January 4, 2014 at 2:02 pm

      Haha! Love this!

      • Stephanie says

        January 11, 2014 at 5:24 pm

        Why thank you 🙂

    15. Heather says

      January 4, 2014 at 1:41 pm

      Excellent rant! My rant would be about cranky work people. Let’s just get work done without the drama!

      • Stephanie says

        January 11, 2014 at 5:24 pm

        LOL I agree, No space for drama in the work place!
