Things That Annoy You

I think he's coming on to me in a rather elliptical way.  Or it could be a spellcheck fail.  More data required.

Elliptical! This takes further contemplation considering the gravity.

As in the upper right hand corner, I've never met a Woman that had a short window to breed in later life. All I got to say is I've learned from a few mistakes.

The window refers to the time of year and is self imposed. I'm not responsible for anything that slips past the goal keeper.

Wait.  YOU don't know either?

Wait.  YOU don't know either?

That's a rhetorical question, right?

True. I don't know.

However, I'm very interested in your perspective.

Having been single for > 2 decades, and not achieving responsibility for a minor and Wife known ever, I'm just doing what I've always done as taught to me by my Father and basically fixed stuff like he did. My Mom provided the nutritional foundation in relation to income Dad earned. A garden is a wonderful thing for children.

It so nice to have a conversation with someone like you.  It frees me from the burden of having to make meaningful and coherent responses.

I arrived home to a sweltering 111°F today.

I really needed a way to remotely turn on my air conditioning.

I would be feeling sorry for you, were it not for the massive postings of beautiful, sunny beach photos that showed up during and after the coldest days of the year here.   

And I quote:

Mission Accomplished!

Case closed

If my punishment for teasing is hell then my house certainly feels like it.

Interesting.

Most likely I'll opt for sleep.

I very much enjoy most of my experience on the internet.  Yeah, trolls can really be a buzzkill, but overall, you can log in when you want, go where you want, interact with whom you want.

I still enjoy the phone mostly, but I am so sick of stupid robo calls.  Mobile devices are fine except when people expect an instant response to texts.  It's email that I now truly hate though.  At one point I had six different accounts (had to for business reasons).  It is so exhausting to have to log in, wade through 7,000 crap-ass messages for the six that really matter, or -- maybe worse -- put that process off until you feel the psychic weight of all that cyber flotsam piling up.

No one uses paper letters anymore, unfortunately.  A romantic letter in the mail meant so much!

I must be really getting misanthropic.  I usually dread picking up the mail (and not just because of bills).  I usually regard a ringing phone with suspicion or resentment.  Hate logging into email.... 

I like to talk to the people I like to talk to.  I don't want to be available to everybody when I am taking a walk just because that person is in the mood to try to sell me something. 

Anyone else feel this way?

I have mail issues.  I call it mail PTSD due to what happened in a relationship a very long time ago. Let's just say opening the mail became an exercise in terror due to his actions.  Even though things are nothing like they were back then, I still dread mail.  I have a very large pile that accumulated when I was in Virginia for two months, and I'm dreading it. I tell myself every day to just go and open one envelope, and I haven't.  It's embarrassing.  Email is okay.  I don't get SPAM, for whatever reason. 

My cell hardly ever rings.  If it does, it's generally family, so I don't have any issues with it.  I went without my cell for two weeks after misplacing it, and I didn't miss it at all.  I think cell phones have become little more than electronic leashes.

I'd introduce you to my mum but you'd both probably dislike the change.

I received my last romantic letter in the mail when I was a little girl from a little boy who, sadly, moved away. My mother found it and read it to my father, brothers, grandparents and aunts. Even way back then, I couldn't wait for something like texting to come along. 

I rarely call on my cellphone. I use it for emailing, texting, and the internet. I used to forget I had it and not charge it which would drive everyone who was trying to get me nuts. Now I keep it with me. I like the convenience of having wake up calls, notes and all the rest in one place, plus a camera for unexpected photos.

A phone ringing late at night or in the middle of the night used to fill me with terror. After my mother died, I didn't dread the ringing phone at night as much although a wrong number in the middle of the night still scares the bejeebus out of me, especially if my son is on a fire call.

Oh, good grief.  Here comes the Civility Committee.  It's Carrie Nation re-imaged for the digital age.

He replies to my posts.  His replies are stuffed with incoherent non-sequiturs.  If I reply on point, and another thought swims into his head, he simply ignores what I wrote and goes off on a keyboard solo.  If this were 1968 and he was a drummer for Iron Butterfly, that might be a good thing and actually get him laid.  But in this day, age, and medium, expectations are different.

You two took it as a flame.  Was it?  Isn't there some relief in knowing that your post will be accepted warmly, happily, and receive a cheerful and civil response even if your speling is fuked up, your grammar ain't at the working it thing, and post yours, make sense it does not. 

Were either of you two Ms. Grundys part of our conversation?  Rhetorical question, you obviously were not.  Maybe y'all should consider following prison rules: "It ain't none of your motherfucking business.  Roll over, face the wall, and shut up."

Doing taxes sucks and it annoys me. I wish that the Feds and the State make the tax laws simple so it will be easy to do.

It really is. Years ago I moved out of "community" because my next door neighbor was getting grief for parking his semi tractor across the street from his house on the weekends. Give a few low intelligence people a little bit of authority and you will create a monster.

Last year I received a notice for a 29 cent toll for driving a short way on a local toll road. I snickered and gave the bill no more notice. Big mistake, I received another notice a month later for $30.29... fines for late payment. I called, waited on the phone for about 10 minutes, only to have to dance through a beauracracy that would confound the best minds. No one but me saw the absurdity of a 30 dollar fine for a 29 cent toll.

I frikken hate people with no point to their lives, except to follow rules.

I would not buy property where there was 'a community' with rules and fees and people who had say over what I did or how I did it.

Meaning an HOA or something - we all benefit from things like building codes and zoning.

You chose to go after him in a public thread, where anyone can comment on any post.  If you aren't willing to handle commentary, there's the option of a private message.  While I enjoy some of your posts, you're a little trigger-happy for someone who's been here less than two weeks.

As you guys just finished doing with me...yes?  Meaning, by your example, that I can comment right back, two-weeker status notwithstanding.

I'm a little surprised that you chose that particular post to call me out about being "trigger happy," as there are so many better candidates directed at Earl, and the post to eeiii wasn't necessarily as "harsh" as it might have seemed.  Maybe that's because what would otherwise be bad behaviour gets a pass so long as it's directed at someone you dislike.  Do you apply that same reasoning in your real life, say towards certain categories of people?  Surely not.

Onan I had the same problem on the same toll road. Same agency. There's nothing about that system that makes any sense except that it easily turns a thirty cent toll into a forty dollar fee. Makes me want to grab a rifle and shoot out the cameras and sensors. Put up a damn toll booth! That's a clear case where private business concerns got really friendly with government.
