GRRRRRRRR .....

So earlier this week Dana did a post of things that make her go GRRRRRRR.  She asked us commenters what makes us go GRRRRRR and I told her I would do it in a blog post.  Cause I much prefer to have other people give me ideas than to just come up with something myself.  It's just entirely too hot to try to be creative and shit right now.

Anyway, here are some things that make me go GRRRRRRRR

- People who try to claim that fixing the oil leak should be "easy."  Also people who say that if Obama or BP had started cleaning things up immediately "it would all be done by now."  How fucking stupid are these people?

Oh and the next time a person who tries to claim that all they need to do is "install a simple shut off valve that you can get at the local hardware store" I'm going to get a shut off valve, climb through the computer and shove that valve up their urethra and see if they can open it back up.  Seriously, if you think that's all that needs to be done, go get a valve, drive to the gulf coast and swim out there and install it.  If you can do that I'll personally give you eleventy batrillian bazillion dollars. Fucking dumb ass.

- People who think they can argue me into not liking things that I like.  Or liking things that I don't like. Sure, you might be able to get me to change my mind on politics or sports or something like that.  But, basically liking things or people is subjective and personal.  Things like what kind of foods you like, who you find attractive or not and what kind of music you like and dislike aren’t gonna change just because someone bitches at you until you slap your forehead like Homer Simpson and say “Doh! What was I thinking? You’re right!  Country music doesn’t suck.”  Not gonna happen people.

This is something my good friend Jetsa (Suckit7 on Twitter) and I were tweeting about just the other day.  She has people trying to argue her into disliking sushi all the time.  I've only had sushi once.  My sister made some homemade sushi and I tried it.  Turns out you shouldn't hit that wasabi sauce too hard as that shit almost killed me.  But, if you like sushi then more power to ya.

And stop it with the absolutist “either/or” bullshit.  Like “you can’t find both petite AND plus-sized/curvy women sexy.”  What a load of fucking crap that is.

- People who want to argue with me about every little bitty damn thing.  Give it a rest.  The fake disagreeing is obvious and annoying.  Go argue with your kids or dog or fake plant in the corner.

- Teenagers. I believe that kids should be in school year round.  Maybe 2 weeks off around the 4th of July and 2 weeks around Christmas and that's it.  Worst thing about summer isn't the heat, it's all the idiot teenagers who are out and about all day.  Which means that they drive their trucks through neighborhoods at 9,000 miles an hour with shitty country music blasting away (probably on the 8-track, stupid rednecks) and almost fucking kill me.  These kids need something to do.  I think year round school is the answer.

- My daily summer evening headache.  Between the temps in the 90s, high humidity and the air conditioner running all day I get a headache every evening in the summertime.  Not a really bad one, but just enough to be annoying.

- When I do absent minded shit.  Like I get up to go get some tylenol for my summer headache and walk right past the cabinet with the drugs and go to the bathroom. Then I walk past it again and go back to what I was doing and suddenly remember that I forgot to get the thing I got up for in the first place.  And I didn't go in there to go to the bathroom, but I did anyway.  WTF?

Or, I get out the tub of butter and the little bottle of lemon juice cause I'm making fish.  I put the bottle of lemon juice on the counter and then shake the tub of butter.

- Truthers and Spillers.  In fact, all the people who believe crazy conspiracy theories.  Not the theories themselves, those I love. They entertain me.  But, the people who believe every viral email they get.  I can’t fucking stand those people.  That’s the height of intellectual laziness.

- Hitler comparisons.  You’re actually minimizing the evil that was Hitler and the Nazi regime when you make them.  You also show your embarrassing lack of understanding of history.  So stop doing that.



Okay, so there are a few things that make me go GRRRRRRR.  There are lots more of course.  I could probably make this a weekly feature.  Like Friday GRRRRRRs.  But, I won’t.
