Pet Peeves

Pervy Santa Clauses!!

So, daughter and I were minding our own business, walking through the mall. Got to the area where Santa (I keep typing Satan! ) has his display. Heard the bells jingling and him ho ho hoing. Daughter peeks over at him and gave him a little wave. I ignored him until daughter says, "Uh, mom. Santa's trying to get your attention." So I look over and he's jingling his bells, ho ho hoing and patting his lap in a weird way! Not sure how my face looked but I'm not impressed! LOL I asked daughter, "Did he just do what I think he did?" Daughter says, "Yeah, that was gross!"

Santas need to get booted from the malls!

Wives that chuck out useful things, that you only realise once you are looking for that thing to use.

Haha! I learned a long time ago not to touch hubby's things! But I can't say he's learned the same lesson!

No... but I still have my Boy Scouts' Handbook, laundry bag and collapsible cup.

Spammy texts from companies I don't even deal with!

My pens disappearing from my desk zone.

My pens disappearing from my desk zone.

People stealing pens.

 

[LaSorcia]

Cheaply made toys that break within 30 minutes and make children cry.

 

[brinny]

...i apologize....i've been known to keep the pens that i've used or borrowed, as if they're "glued" to my hand....i honestly forget i have them (it's because i'm always writing and a pen is sorta' like an "appendage" for me, and i'm oblivious that i have just walked off with someone's pen...

i DO, however, once i realize that i've "done it again", take them back with an apology AND choc'late or a funny card AND an invitation for them to yell at me if they see me doing so again....



Pens that stop writing Ugh!
