People who leave their dirty dishes in the sink at work.

Garage door opener "safety beams".

Dog gas.

Recliners ... where the "footrest" is more like a calfrest.

Calf calf calf calf calf calf. Dumb word. Doesn't look right. Yep, I actually looked it up. Calf... shoot.

I may pay attention to a new one just in hopes there is a little imaginaion and common sense involved in the commercial.

Ha! Well that's pretty unlikely. I can tune most commercials out, but that one is particularly grating. Actually now that I think of it.... most car commercials are quite irritating....

In the same vein.... people who leave about a quarter of a cup of coffee in the pot at about 11:00.... to leave it to burn until the Magical Coffee Fairy (me) comes along and turns off the coffee machine and scrubs out the burnt-on coffee. You KNOW you're last... throw it out!

THAT is not a good smell.... I don't even like the smell of not-burned coffee.

Coffee.... yuck.

Kinda weird though, how easily that burnt coffee just wipes out of the carafe.

Depends on how long it's been sitting there, really. Usually I catch it w/in a couple of hours. But when I was in the restaurant biz, we'd leave stuff cooking on the burners from breakfast through dinner... and we'd plop some lemon wedges and ice cubes in there and it came right off.

NOW YOU KNOW!

Well, you're entitled to be mad and it's best if you're mad now instead of pretending like you're not mad and then your madness gets strung out and you never get over it. And that's no good.

*Super Hugs until you want to talk about it*

That is why I am mad now...cause I avoided being angry when it happened. But I will be ok...just is no-one to talk to about it right now...I guess I can journal it to process it ...it is probably dumb anyway

You mean, when someone gets in your face for something... and you (me) just stand there and take it, 'cause you're dumbfounded how someone could be so rude and ignorant... and then later, usually within an hour or so, you come up with a whole bunch of really good replies... but then the idiot is gone....

... like that???

Come on, type it out.... you'll feel much gooder. (Gooder... I love that word.)
