    When you get into a groove and then a stupid client calls and wants you to work on something for them. Sure, let me just drop everything I'm doing and work on your problem.

    Eyebrow growth

    Yes! Especially older men with wild, crazy eyebrow hairs shooting out everywhere. Don't they ever glance in the mirror?

    When you only hear from people when they need a favour from you!

    And then after borrowing something from you, they either 1)have to be reminded to return it, and/or 2) return it in worse shape than when it was borrowed

    Always! The amount of my books that have disappeared/been damaged at my sisters house is ridiculous!

    I saw a tip jar at a drive through window this morning. That! What is the world coming to?! What are the tipping guidelines for FREAKING DRIVE THROUGH tip jars? 5%? 10%? 20%?

    Where I live there are often tip jars at the windows of Mexican restaurants, but I think that's usually because the cooks are illegal and don't make minimum wage.

    Also if that sounds like a racist joke, I'm sorry, but it really is true a lot of the time where I live.

    People passing a slower car and driving into oncoming traffic because the person that they are pass speeds up and will not let them pull in front of them. And for the record I did end up having to pull into the grass to avoid being hit head on. At the point, I do not know who I am madder at the guy in the car that was passing or the guy who would not let him pass him.

    Here's a trick to ensure that I don't get lettuce on my food at restaurants:

    "Are you sure there's no lettuce? I am extremely allergic to lettuce, and if there is any in my food I could die."

    When you put it in really grave terms like that, they usually make sure. Try it with gluten.

    I'm not allergic to lettuce btw, I just don't like the crappy iceberg lettuce they always use at restaurants.

    I actually am allergic, but at this point it won't kill me. Just make me break into a rash that will last for three days, and gave me stomach cramps within 6 minutes of starting to eat...which is great, when you can't find the bathroom. But thanx for the advice.

    It effing SUCKS Synch...took years to figure out, thought it was IBF for a few of them...two years ago diagnosed with celiac, and it all finally made sense. Unfortunately, the only time I can really control what goes in is when I make it myself, and we were out Christmas shopping. This little pop-up restaurant called Freshii's, have you tried it? I asked the guy, then also asked him about the counts for the steak, we won't go into what his answer was...lol

    I have a soy sensitivity and I got a salad once and asked for it without edamame on it...hubs made this big deal that I can't eat that and the waitress was really careful and checked. I was so embarrassed because it only makes my itchy but at least they were super careful

    when the people at Starbucks don't believe that my name is Waldo, and give me that inquisitive look~

    When they ask my name, I tell them, "Megatron" and then scowl and stare crazily at them. It's so cool when they call out "Megatron"...

    OO I feel for you, It is embarrassing, I understand completely...and there's nothing like getting a "little itch" that leaves you looking like you have fleas for two days... :(
    My Little Kodi Rose tells waitresses that Gramma is "allergic to flowers"...lol. I try to tell her no worries, I got it figured out, but she's a worrier, honey is too. I wouldn't care if it were just something I didn't like, like say mushrooms...but allergies are very different.

    Oh yes it's so random and frustrating because people don't realize that even if it's not life threatening it's still uncomfortable but not uncomfortable enough to make a big deal about. I often will notice a few days later that I've had something and then just eat really cleanly for a few and I'm good

    I have a shellfish allergy, @JustMissTracy so I know how you feel! What really enrages me is when my MOTHER serves SHRIMP (which can kill me) at a family dinner I'm attending.

    @OneHundredToLose - We will never get rid of the crazy/lazy graphic designer. He's going to outlast all of us. We work for the state! In fact, my boss and I are both quitting in January for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is the nightmare that is managing/working with him.

    Other work-related sources of rage: Constant mother-freaking Contact.

    Heh, Constant Contact is one of my chief reasons for loving being in charge of my department. Now I get to delegate that to someone else. I hate Constant Contact - and email marketing in general - with a passion.

    When people call you "dude" ... ;) When clearly you have nothing that hangs, swings and stands to attention between your legs. :flushed:
