Two work-related pet peeves.

I hate companies that are all "we need to get these tests run, let's send them in really late on friday because as long as they get there by 6:00 everything is super awesome!" FUCK YOU! Now *I* have to stay late to run the stupid short hold test on your stupid samples that arrived at the last minute!

I also hate companies that are all, "we can do our own sampling! 'cause we're smart! Let's order a bunch of tests on these samples and use really, really tiny bottles!" DUMBASSES. We. Need. More. Sample. To. Run. All. Those. Tests.

I will destroy you all!

No, but I am. I'm not againt girls wearing skirts. I'm against girls wearing skirts with giant ass boots. Neither item makes sense together. Skirts with any other type of shoe, makes sense. If you have the need to wear giant fluffy boots cause its cold....put on some tight pants and show off your body that way. It'll keep you warmer, and a hypothermic girl is not attractive.

I don't like the word nite. I also hate being in crowds behind slow walkers or people who stop and talk, even worse would be groups of people talking in a small area.

Edit: I hate nite so much I spelt it right at first.

Oh vith, SLOW WALKERS. I have SO much peevageness for slow walkers taking up the ENTIRE hallway/sidewalk. I'm one of those people who always runs a little bit late, so I need to walk fast to get to class on time. Slow walkers road blocking the path are the bane of my academic existence.

Slow walkers and slow drivers need to get the fuck out of the way.

Yay! People that agree with me. I hate it when people just tell me to slow down.

The giant ass boots emphasize the shape of the calves and thighs. They're also less formal than more fitted leather boots (which, for the record, I prefer) and are much more comfortable.

I wouldn't worry about it too much, though, if they even last this season, I imagine that won't be back next winter.

I love talking fashion on Keenspace.

Quoted for truth. Bwahaha! (Not that I'm gonna complain about short(ish) skirts, even in the winter.)

Oh man, me too! Especially when someone uses it cause they think they're actually hip. I mean, it's okay when someone uses it at least half-ironically (2day is alrite 4 2nite?) but, like, when Aramark advertises "Snack Nite" for its employees? SO unprofessional. Large Faceless Corporation, it just makes you look dumb. Grow up and deal with the fact that "ght" has a silent "gh."

(Maan, I'm on a posting ROLL tonight!)

People blocking the escalators are worse. There's this unwritten rule in Germany that people who want to just stand on the escalator keep to the right to allow people who want to get out faster pass on the left. But somehow, the two people that need to be reminded end up in front of me whenever I opt against the stairs...

...I've never even seen an escalator that was big enough for more than one person to stand side by side. :o

Seriously? The first time I saw an escalator that was only wide enough for one person my eyes about popped out of my head.

Whoa! Mini-escalator! CRAZY!!!

Seniors that obviously have no trouble (no JOB) coming to the store on Monday, when it's slow, do it on Sunday, the busiest day of the week, when it is packed. And they want help NOW.
