    - America voting off my favorites on American Idol.

    I read that people who fidget loose more weight because they are constantly moving...Burning up to 600 more calories per month than someone who doesn't fidget.

    But my husband does this sometimes and I tell him to knock it off. If he does the hand tap in the car one more time, he'll be doing it with a stub! lol

    Hokay...umm...

    My peeves...

    My neighbors who all hate each other, so nobody talks to anyone at the bus stop. This leaves me always having to initiate every conversation and dance between them trying to shed the silence. Otherwise everyone stands there for 45 minutes between the two bus times, looking at the ground. I have no clue of all of what happened before I moved here, but I get so annoyed about ignoring! Anyone have ideas for this one? (So please don't ignore my post or I'll get mad. :laugh: )

    Umm...

    I wanted to start tennis lessons because I have no life during the day when my kids are at school. When I called our clubhouse they only do tennis lessons on Tuesday's and Thursday's at 5:30 PM, and then on Saturdays at 10:00 AM.

    No wonder I'm dumpy. :wink:

    People who douse themselves with perfume before working out at the gym.

    Being the 3rd wheel, 5th wheel, 7th wheel...all the time and if I say I'm not going because it's all couples, they say "It's OK, we don't mind"....well, I mind.

    Is there a local college nearby? Maybe you could pay a poor college student some cash to give you some tennis lessons.

    Don't know what to tell you about your neighbors, but sounds like they need to grow up. :huh:

    Watching the tiny kids in the neighborhood playing in the street and no parents around.
    People who sneak in 30-40 items in the express lane for 10-15 items.
    People driving slow in ALL lanes, or the ones afraid to go by tractor trailers.
    My thin friends saying, "I am too fat, or these are my fat jeans and they are at most a size3/4".
    My husband complaining he is too fat (5'9", body fat of 7%, weight 157). I love my but!!!

And then tell me that "there are a lot of good veggies out there"...derrrrrr... I know that. She told me the other day she wanted to join WW to loose about 5 pounds? 5 pounds??? I could take my clothes off and loose that...

    I provide childcare in my home, these are a few that irritate a lot.

    People who pay me 3-4 days late and laugh it off by saying how forgetful they can be.
    People who show up after my cut off time to pick up their kids and don't even say sorry!
    Kids who break expensive toys and I can't say jack to their parents (part of the business, but still)


    In normal everyday life:

    People who bring their sick children to the park.
    People who lets their children ride a bike without a helmet and let them eat a lollipop while riding.
    People who give me dirty looks when my 2 year freaks out in public.
    Groceries stores trying to sell produce that is clearly rotten and gone bad.
    Sales people who ring the doorbell after 8pm not once, but 3 times!!

    Drivers who make a turn in front of me when the green light and the walk signal comes on. I already don't have enough time to cross the street before the don't walk signal starts flashing then I have to wait for the stupid, inconsiderate driver to make the turn so I can walk across the street on a flashing don't walk signal. :angry:

    Young people, especially males and men (oh well, it's my old school upbringing) who won't give their seat on the bus for their elder or for a female who has to stand. My son knows better than to not offer his seat.

    Yes I'm sure I'll get slammed over that. :ohwell:

    the fact that my "goal weight" is the same as my baby deliverey weight

    -long lines at wal mart...why do they only have two lines open after 10??:huh:

    I have one to top that one....

    At my local Wal Mart, they won't do returns after 10 pm! I went in there at 10:02 to exchange my daughter's shoes for the right size, and they wouldn't do it. They said if they did it for me, they'd have to do it for everyone!:grumble:

    One-uppers!

    You know the people who always have to out-do your story.
    "I found these jeans for $10 at the mall!!"
    "I bought mine for $7..." GRRRRRRRRR:grumble:

    Red Light Runners - especially making the left turn

    Maybe I have a touch of OCD, but it bugs me when a lightswitch is up but the light is off. If you ask me, the OFF position should always be DOWN...

    kinda related to the 'one-uppers' - those that talk so much they don't remember that they have already told you a particular story! and I am too nice to say "you told me that yesterday".
