    People that call me that I guess block their #, since it shows as "Unknown"; I don't answer unknown calls!

    Someone should make a "Who Irks You" thread.

    It wouldn't stay open for more than 4 hours. Lol!

    Someone who constantly posts woe is me posts then gets mad and dismisses people when they try to help.

    Don't ever watch a Seahawks game then. Pete Carroll does that. Watching him makes my jaw hurt.

    When someone automatically covers their food in ketchup without even tasting it by itself first.

    When people(Americans for this example) go to a foreign country and only eat at American fast food chains.

    I know it is absolutely none of my business, but it irks me when grown adults spend their money like twelve year olds with terrible judgment.

    As someone who just came back from a foreign country, the American chains have different things on the menus overseas. One of my favorite places to go to in Japan is the 7-Elevens. Most of what they carry is Japanese. There are McDonalds over there too. They have their spin on some American items, but also have Japanese items on their menu. I was on a military base. The food court had mainly American chains so some days for much I just had no choice.

    If you're a taxpayer, it'll become your business; if they've to file for bankruptcy and/or depend upon welfare someday, so you might as well make it your business now; prior to you having to pay for their irresponsibility later!

    I was thinking about that today. It's sad to see people buy their tenth QVC blouse instead of using that money to travel or make life directly better.

    How can a person decide how a person spends their money in a capitalist society?

    Understandable, I guess my reference point was from a trip I took as a teen and just saw the other teens always eating at McDonald's and Pizza hut and just assumed it was the same stuff. I guess it could have been unique. I just saw it as a waste of part of the experience of being somewhere new.

    So much this! I lived in Japan for three years and yes, they definitely have different items on their menus than what we can find here. McDonald's had a black sesame seed shrimp burger for awhile. And a terriyaki shrimp one. They also carry Fanta Melon soda (which you can't get in the states and is delicious). KFC had a a waffle chicken burger that was pretty much fried chicken, gravy and waffle fries all smushed together into a sandwich.

    The 7/11 (7 & Holdings) often had strawberry cream cheese sandwiches, bento boxes, kiriban prizes and delicious pork buns. I miss Japanese junk food, lol.

    Yeah. I don't know what I can do to "force" people to spend their money wisely. I am a taxpayer, of course.
    I won't even get into the bigger picture of people making terrible decisions on a higher level. What I'm thinking of is more like, an old friend who's a 40 yr old grandmother, drives a beat up vehicle, complains about being broke, and bought her boyfriend a $260 jacket ***for his HALLOWEEN COSTUME*** that he will never wear again. She works full-time and is insured and all that jazz. But I don't want to hear her whining that they can't swing a vacation this year or randomly afford basic car repairs and other smallish things because they buy 6 new Blu-Ray movies every Tuesday and fast food every day for lunch. It hurts my brain.

    I'd rethink continuing that "friendship." People like that drain others of happiness and life. Also, no adult should EVER complain. If it bothers them enough then they should take steps to make it better.

    Ehhh I get where you are going...but no adult should ever complain? Like ever? I like to complain about stupid stuff that both I can and can't control, especially with others who are dealing with the same issue. It's a good bonding thing :)
    But yeah if it's draining you, snip that relationship...
