I've heard that once you reach a certain age, more things annoy you.

Wow, I answered before I got to the nekkid part. Nonononono.
I think it was Lewis Grizzard who claimed to coin that word. Naked means no clothes, nekkid is no clothes and up to something.

Nekkid in the south means partly naked but you can still wear an item of clothing like socks or underwear.

Nah, didn't even wait two minutes and I don't eat there; my son likes it. I just resent "simmer down" when I'm not upset, from a kid young enough to be my granddaughter. And "I hope you find God"? Judgmental. Maybe I'm agnostic, maybe I'm Wiccan or one of those religions that doesn't believe in God. Regardless it's absolutely none of her business. The comment was seriously unprofessional regardless of her profession.
At which time, I probably would have said "I hope you go F----- yourself". :lmao:

I'm not kidding about that, either. I've spent a lifetime being nice to people, turning the other cheek, allowing for possibly having a bad day, etc. But I'm just tired of the condescending attitude of people who are supposed to be in customer SERVICE. I would NEVER talk to customers that way and even when I am dealing with extremely impatient, highly demanding & snappish people in my job, I go to great lengths to treat them nicely.


**Once in a while, I have to use a tone of voice that I don't like to use. But only if they're nasty and obnoxious. There is such a thing as "firing the customer" when you absolutely have to. :yay:

LOL - that's exactly what I said, but she had already closed the window.

Well, in that case.....

The other Medicare Advantage couple gets on my nerves. If she's so hot and heavy to get all the extra benefits, why the hell doesn't she pick up the telephone and call. :banghead:

Not just Martha, but also the man talking to her because he has to say her name each time he says something to her. Grates my nerves.

The sleep aid commercial with the woman practically crying that she finally knows her man now that he can sleep. I just want to reach through the tv and smack her upside the head.

Hahaha. You sound like my husband. He wants to send a note to Huckabee and shame him for being in a commercial with a whinebaby.

Took my son to the drive through at Wendys yesterday. Greeted at the speaker by an exuberant, overly cheerful voice, who heard number one single and nothing beyond that. The order came to $18.06. Wendys offers a military discount and I typically ask for it as I did yesterday.

Got to the window, cheerful, maybe 18 something year old cashier says $18.06. I showed her my id and she said oh right, military, and gets her manager, comes back and says you need to show your ID to my manager. No problem. Haul it out again. Manager looks, fiddles with the register, and cashier tells me $18.06. I said wait a minute, how come the price with the discount is the same price as it was without the discount. Really not sarcastically, I consciously check myself for that; I was just confused.

And she says, simmer down, simmer down.

So now I'm irritated as crap. I swear to God, you can say almost anything to me and I'll let it blow over mostly. But simmer down, calm down are trigger words to me. Especially if I'm not irritated. Yet.

She gives me the new price I pay. She gives me the food and says she hopes I find God.

At this point, I'm ready to tell her, she's about to find God herself and it won't be pleasant.

I swear I'm this close to yelling at kids on my lawn.
Thank you. I already found God. Now I don't beat the living crap out of morons who tell me to simmer down. Well, most of the time, but I'm forgiven when I do.

As long as you go to confession and commit your sins.
Don't you go to confession because you've already committed your sins? Or is it preemptive planning, as in I'm going to confess to something I haven't done yet because I feel pretty certain that I'm going to do it.
