What Really Grinds My Gears...

I would like to do a little segment I like to call, "You know what really grinds my gears?!" Sometimes I just feel the need to vent, and if I offend I am sorry, but REALLY! Some things are driving me insane. I know it sounds hostile, but I have to tell someone. LOL

1. You know what really grinds my gears? Every person I meet and their dog asking me when I'm going to have a baby. No lie, the dentist, the bank teller, my nagging co-worker, family. Every single time they say, "You are how old, you have been married how long? I'm sure your parents are just dying for grandbabies!" Or I hear, "Your around that age, you don't have any kids yet? You look like a mom." With a surprised look on their face. I know we live in Utah where you should be married and pregnant by the time you are 21! But seriously, asking about people's reproductive health is off limits!

2. You know what really grinds my gears? For the last 5 times I have gone to the movies I have had obnoxious people sitting behind me. Really people, you have to be kidding me! Did you really just answer your phone in the movie theater?! I know most people don't understand what manners are these days (especially teenagers!) But number 1 rule, don't hold an entire conversation in the middle of a movie! It's so rude! I value my $8 freaking dollars I just spent, let me enjoy it!

3. You know what really grinds my gears? I know I should be thankful for everything we get for Christmas, but when it is so pointless, at least make it easy to exchange. I have had issues at Target and Walmart when I tried to return stuff this week. No I don't have the stupid receipt. The person who got it for me obviously didn't think there was any way I might not have wanted it and so they didn't even bother to give me a receipt. And really, we are so thankful for everything we received, but when I feel like they are doing a background check with the FBI so I can return a simple $10 item it is pretty ridiculous! And because of the economy a lot of sales this year were final. Uggg!

4. And finally, you know what really grinds my gears! Neighbors! They park in your spot, smoke on the steps, bump their music at 2 am, leave beer cans in the hallway, beat their spouses, and smoke marijuana in their apartments. I have called the cops, seriously 20 times! And the stupid landlady, doesn't do crap. "You can move into another building," she says. Really! I would just like to completely leave this place that you have run into the ground. We had decent neighbors before "new management" let the most white trash looking, creepy losers, and party people move in our hall. It is total BS, I am so sick of where I live.


OK I'm done, thanks. =)
