*rantrantrant*

RIdiculous, not REdiculous.

REgardless, not IRREgardless.

COULDN'T care less, not COULD care less.

MOOT point, not MUTE point.

INTACT... not in tack or entack.

ConfIrmation: Something that confirms; verification. ConfOrmation: manner of formation; structure; form, as of a physical entity.

The huge arrows in directional parking lots? NOT just suggestions.

If it is supposed to be full and you make it empty? Throw it away or refill it.

If it is supposed to be empty and you make it full? Empty it or start a new container.

If you are running out of something and you will need to me make, clean or buy more of it for you, tell me BEFORE you actually run out.

If I'm doing something that annoys you man up and say so before you get so pissed you can't talk about it like a civil human being. If you don't have the balls to speak up it is your OWN fault for not saying anything.

I'm not a mind reader.

My memory is shot. Anyone close to me knows this. I don't know if it is age, hormones or the fever I had when I had the flu in 95 and my temp hit 106 for several hours but ya'll know about it. If you tell me to remind you of something and I forget then you have no right to get pissed at me for forgetting because you should know better. If I can't remember something spending an hour raking me over the coals trying to force me to remember is a waste of both of our time, and is just going to piss me off. If it is gone it is GONE. Making me feel like crap for not being able to remember is just petty and cruel because I CAN'T HELP IT.

Tsu works nights. He has worked friggin nights for almost an entire decade. His days and nights are almost completely reversed. This isn't hard to figure out people, he has been on this schedule long enough that you have no excuse for not having it figured out especially when it has been explained to you ad nauseam. If he is still asleep at 2pm on a saturday he is NOT just being lazy. That is the middle of his night. Have some common courtesy and respect that fact. Expecting him to magically switch to day shift two days out of the week is like expecting you to switch to night shift two days of every week. It's thoughtless, rude and infuriating. Trust me, I hate it as much as everyone else but that is life. STOP making it even harder by being so damn dense about it. TEN YEARS, unless you have some sort of mental defect you should be capable of understanding it by now.

No, I am NOT going to outgrow or get over "this horse thing". So just stop. Seriously. You don't have to understand it but kindly shut up about it.

Yes, I still have some days where I can't do some things because of my hands. Just because I could do it yesterday doesn't mean I can do it today. I'm not faking it to get out of having to do something unpleasant. Acting like I am malingering is both insulting and hurtful. Just because you can't SEE my injuries doesn't mean they aren't there.

I'm not a messenger service. If you want my kid, my husband, my inlaws or my parents to know something call them yourself. Your phone works just as friggin well as mine does.

Yes, I know my dog is bald. I don't give a crap if you think he is ugly. I think your kids are ugly but I'm polite enough to keep that opinion to myself.

Yes, I know my hair is getting thin. I know you can see my scalp. Pointing it out like a joke is just cruel. Especially if you barely know me (or don't know me at all *stranger in the Fairway store, I'm looking at you!*). What kind of douchebag does that?

No, I'm not expecting. My daughter is 14 now. Thanks for pointing out that I have a bulge of left over skin and tissue from childbearing and weight loss. That is FANTASTIC for my self esteem. Especially since there is nothing short of surgery I can do to fix it.

It's not all about you. Absolutely NOTHING I have ever done has EVER been motivated by trying to one-up someone else or make them feel bad. I didn't buy the horse to rub anyone's nose in how much money I have (HAHAHA! If anyone knows what I have gone through to get this horse that would be totally laughable!) I don't upgrade my computer because I want it to be faster and more powerful than yours. By the same token, I do not give a flying rats tookus if your new TV is bigger than mine or if you got a nice new house. You seriously flatter yourself if you even think I care. In fact most of the time I am HAPPY for you. The only one who thinks it is a damn contest is YOU.

*takes a deep breath* I feel better already.
