Yea, so..........they all should learn to speak English. They should work hard in Mexico.
YES!!! I couldn't have said it better myself!
I'm tired of having my taxes audited every year. First they audit me and give me more money than I paid in, then they audit me a year later and demand the money back with interest. I must be their best investment or something...

I haven't had a good fight with the IRS in years. Last notice I got, I was relieved to discover that yes I had made a mistake. They are very easy to get tired of.
People who pull out in front of you...WTH? Do these people WANT to be rear-ended???
Chicago drivers only going 60MPH in the left lane anywhere within a 500 mile radius of Lake Michigan.
Spam Email and computer viruses.
Microsoft Windows. Same 32-bit software from 1993. Samson was right, there's nothing new under the sun, especially at Microsoft.
Being married.
Anything Valvoline.
GC topics (save for the BIG analysis)
Cell phone prices. Too much money just to chit chat. And you wind up paying for two phones, one at home, one on the road. Tired of paying two phone bills.

Smokers rooms need maintenance, while the outdoors doesn't.quote:

10 Smokers to meet me at every business I need to enter. And the enjoyable second hand smoke!!! I guess a smokers room is out??
If it's any consolation, the place I'm working at part-time right now has specific instructions on where workers are allowed to smoke, and it's about as far away from the entrance/exit as possible without getting away from the building itself. On a 10-minute break, a smoker could literally spend the entire break walking to and from the spot without ever taking a puff.
Here are my gripes.
1) People who pay by check at the store and seem to be completely surprised when it comes time to pay -- if you're not going to have the check filled out when you get in line (with everything but the amount, of course), at least have the friggin' check book OUT and the pen to write the check with.
2) People who cut me off in traffic and the minute they're in front of me, forget what the big hurry was and slow down, forcing me to pass them when they could have just pulled in behind me.
3) People who insist on going to work sick. I'm not talking minor cold, I'm talking full-blown hacking coughs and sneezing. How effective are you really being when you have to reach for a Kleenex and blow every 30 seconds?
4) The #(*$*ing rabbits that eat my plants every year. I planted those bulbs for my enjoyment, not as some sort of rabbit smorgasboard.

Reminds me of a scene in Austin Powers: Goldmember, when Austin's father says:
"There are two things I cannot stand: People who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch!"
AGREED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Honestly I have nothing against this oil. I may even use it if I can find it. But the whole elf thing is really stupid (I know, I know, but please define my real middle name: Aubrey). The one guy goes on and on, and every second new person asks the same question over and over.......I actually don't even read the GC related posts too often and they are still BORING....sorry and yes I too donated and am very interested in the composition.
No offense to the GC gang, but I am allowed my opinion, too.
More....
1. People that pull out the coupons at the supermarket register and slow everybody down, and use the same store as thier own bank (change bills, cash out, getting quarters etc.).
2. People that let thier dogs poop any place it wants and then don't clean it up (and I am a dog lover).
3. Anything MTV!!!!!!
4. Any new TV show where the female is the "tough guy".
5. New Macdonald's "ebonic" sloagan..."I'm lovin it"!!

That's the most annoying slogan. It should be "I'm gaining weight!"
Went to Chick-Fil-A yesterday, had their chicken nuggets for the first time. They were VERY good because they were made from chicken and NOT greasy! McDonalds sucks. It's all grease and fat.

Lies and the people that tell them.
1 - People driving at an inappropriate speed for the lane they're driving in (too fast or too slow).
2 - People that can't hold an intelligent argument without getting emotionally upset or offended. An argument doesn't have to be a negative thing.
3 - Along the same lines as #2, people that are too stubborn to admit that they might be wrong or that you have a good point when that point weakens their argument.
4 - Radio stations that switch to 100% Christmas music at the beginning of November. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for Christmas music, but can't we wait until Thanksgiving at least? Having it too early ruins it for me.
5 - Uh, Courtney Love?

Wouldn't work here, as the 10 minute break would start the second that they got to the designated spot.
Smokers are sacrisanct down here, and untouchable.
My Dad wrote a submission, suggesting that non-smokers should be given the last 40 minutes of their day off, as they don't smoke, and therefore did not fritter away 40(plus minutes) per day of paid time smoking, gossiping, or going to smoke/gossip.
Didn't succeed.
My employer has decided that rather than managing malingerers, they will reward people who have no sick time for 12 months, or 5 years.
One year with no sick leave, and you get $100. five years, and you get $500 holiday voucher.
Then, our corporate incentive bonus is based on an average sick-leave figure.
The malingerers still use their annual allowance in the first 4 months without managerial comment.
A handfull of suckholes turn up sick for their name in the company newsletter, and their $100/$500. 5 times that many end up off sick, or come to work severely compromised.
My boss photcopies the comapny magazine where he is congratulated for 5 years off without a sick-day, tells us where he spent his $500 holiday voucher, and proclaims how lucky he was to be off on corporately sponsored study leave when he tore his achilles tendon, and spent 2 weeks in hospital...and therefore wasn't off sick.
as to the topic, what am I tired of ?
Corporate double standards.
