Just so you know

So why do people think by saying "just so you know" at the end of the sentence makes people aware of whatever they are telling you.

In some cases, that can be true. Maybe I don't know the fact you just told me.

But what if I already knew that fact. Adding "just so you know" just infuriates me to no end. Yes I know "the t.v. is on" cause I'm watching it or that "the door is still open" cause i can hear the street traffic or feel the breeze.

So what if I already knew that if I was the last one watching TV, I would turn it off, or the last one out the door, that I would close and lock the door.

I feel that when someone adds "just so you know", you are implying that I didn't know the fact you are talking about and that I was really that stupid that I didn't know, that I was oblivious to my surroundings or that i just didn't care.

Why do people talk and talk and talk?

Anyone who insists on talking squeaky baby talk to a dog is a moron. Baby talk is for babies. Honestly, if it was just babble, i wouldn't care. but it's so squeaky, it's like nails on a chalkboard. it actually makes my skin crawl.

Do you really think the pet understands what you're saying even in a normal voice, why do you think they would understand it in a high pitched noise. All that happens is that baby talk gets them excited.

For those of you who are under the impression that "dogs respond better to high pitched sound", it's rather annoying to your human counterparts.

How would you feel if I talked to you that way?

And then you get the ones that feel, not only do they talk to pets this way, they feel that they have to have a whole conversation with them. Talking about everything from what they are doing to the weather. From what they are watching to what they are eating. Then there's them asking the pet what they are doing and why they are doing it.

Is that because they need to always hear themselves talk? Is it because they feel that some of the subjects they are talking about, the other people in the room care about those subjects. Do they not understand that if no one else is talking, they don't feel like talking, so they don't feel like hearing you talk either.

And then they ask a question that doesn't require a decision from the other party, cause they already know the answer or they are gonna do it anyways. Again, I think it's just so they can hear themselves talk.

Finger Licking: bad habit?

I found yet another bad habit that people do while eating a variety of food. They lick their fingers.

I don't care what you say - it's gross and the smacking while licking is annoying. Yeah, yeah, they could wipe their hands off with their napkins. No... It's just uncalled for. Someone doing that in my presence is just plain gross, annoying and did I mention gross?

It must have been sometime recently, someone was eating some kind of finger food in my vicinity and the sound of them making that smacking sound when they put their finger in their mouth and pulling it out after cleaning the gunk off is just gross.

She didn't seem to care that people may be grossed out by that or that there may be other germs on her hands.

Do these types of people not realize that this is one nasty habit?

Gum Etiquette

As I see it, there are three main areas of gum etiquette that desperately need work in North America. But the three areas of disgustingness on which I can find several people to agree with me, are location, chewing method, and the worst of all, disposal.

Why is it that people insist on chewing gum with their mouths wide open? First of all, it sounds disgusting. Sort of a slimy, sticking, sucking, squishy, wet, slapping sound that just reminds you that it’s something really gluey getting mixed with someone’s saliva. Secondly, it looks horrible, like a cow chewing its cud, but worse. Thirdly, and this one is for me, it amplifies the smell.
I can understand that some people might enjoy a stick of gum now and then, but do they have to share the sound and appearance of that sticky little wad with the rest of us? I don’t want to see the insides of people’s mouths at the best of times.

It is impolite to eat with your mouth open, yet people who even hold strictly to this principle can be found gape-mouthed with bacteria-filled spit-waddish stickiness rolling around their open maws. It’s terrible, and I wish it would stop. I’m sure nobody wants to see that, really.

Plan english, keep your mouth shut when chewing gum, it's gross and I don't like listening to you smacking and popping your gum.

How you lose a wing nut?

How in the world do you lose a wing nut, going from the middle of the living room to the couch, not even 2 feet apart from each other. It amazes me that it can happen, cause I watched it happen. Not only did the wing nut get lost but a few screws were loose too.

If you are wondering what I am talking about. I am talking about putting a BBQ together. And even still, this is the third attempt to put the same type of BBQ together. Not the same one, mind you. One friend put it together at her house twice, and once at my house, thinking she was ahead of the game.

And even got the holy butt crack in the face too. You know the one, the plumber crack. And a fart too. Then the seniors have a hard time putting a tiny little screw in. Kewl, right?

Now they are trying out for the Canadian Olympics gymnastics team. I'll leave that one to the imagination.

Now we're onto the knobs part of the job. Apparently, left only fits on the left, and right only fits on the right, that's what I thought.

The right thing

How come doing the right thing never feels right?

You feel like you have a bowling ball in your stomach. Your heart pounding 1000 beats a minute. Your blood racing like a wild horse.

What do you feel like?

Ketchup

How many people like ketchup?

It's amazing the number of people that said I do, I do, I do!!!!

It's also amazing the amount of people that said I use ketchup to drown the taste of someone's cooking just because it tastes gross and you don't want to hurt that person's feelings.

So what's with society not wanting to hurt people's feelings? Is it because, they feel guilty for doing so? It's the same thing as saying no to someone and meaning it. I think it boils down to, how you would feel if someone hurt your feelings or said no to you. I also think it's we have the expectation that we should always get what we ask for.

What do you think?

Corey Haim and Hollywood

So what's going on with Hollywood these days? We had Corey Haim overdose and die. What's up with that? This guy has been doing drugs for roughly 20-25 years, didn't anyone care enough to not give up trying to help this guy get clean? I tell ya, I believe that the devil had a good hold on him, because he was so addicted to the drugs that he didn't care about his own life. He would have had an amazing life if his friends and family helped him when he first started. The life he always wanted never died the day he couldn't quit drugs. And now his life quit him. What a waste. What do you think?
