who cares about talkin on the phone while your on the john?

What conversation is important enough to have on the phone in the jon?

second, if i were to ever find out that i was having a conversation with someone who is actively shitting that would gross me out and i\'d hang up on general princible.

i don\'t normally save my phone calls for toilet time, but if someone calls and i\'m sittin on the john, i have no problem pickin it up and sayin whatsup.



if you can\'t handle me talkin to you while i\'m droppin some brownbrown, hit the weight room ya puss.

Any top band list that lists Jimi Hendrix.
It just disrespects Mitch and Noel to me.

- People that take a dump and don\'t flush the toilet

come on now db, I seem to remember you telling me a story about your frosh year at southern about this...

That said, i agree with a lot of this. I can\'t stand when people try to have conversations with me in the bathroom, or you hear people on the phone while going the bathroom. :yuk:

Of course, none of that is as bad as PEOPLE WHO DON"T WASH THEIR HANDS!!! :hair:

Paul - that was a totally different situation.  I was living in a disgusting straight-line dorm with 30 dirty dudes and sharing 5 stalls and 5 shows among us.  I was also a little more tolerant of bathroom habits in those days.  Plus, that was the king of craps; it came out of the water and over the toilet seat, plus, I blamed it on someone else and they had to clean the bathroom.

But, I\'ll add someone more gear-grinding points:

- People that say "There\'s two ways to do things, the right handed way and the wrong way"
- Arenas or Stadiums that haven\'t grasped the concept of urinals and still hang on to troughs (that\'s disgusting in so many ways)
- People that shovel or blow their snow into the street
- People living in NJ that have Red Sox stickers on their car (that didn\'t have them before 2004)
- Cops that profile out-of-state liscense plates
- The Pumpkin Festival in Seymor/Oxford (it\'s like something out of the Children of the Corn)
- The fact that I haven\'t been to the Big E in almost 10 years

You haven\'t been to the big E in 10 years? dont\' worry, nothing has changed

I live in NJ now.  Not as easy to get to.  I miss the $0.25 foot massage machines and the sheep dressed as if they were going to a rally in the south.

You were probably trying to peep his peep.

A teacher teaching math to fifth graders, but themselves not knowing what "0 x any number" equals :sigh:

Also, while on the subject, working another job 2 days every week for the next nine weeks and not getting a paycheck until March.

That\'s BS. How come so long?

I thought I had it bad.  The bookkepper forgot to pay me holiday pay for Christmas and New Year\'s Day, so I have to wait until she comes in next week to get the extra check for it....

Getting 2 paychecks/month.

[Drew_Kingsley]

Getting 1 paycheck/month

I\'m not good enough with money to handle that... now if it was a BIG paycheck, maybe I could manage.

And that segues into something that really grinds my gears: being told that I\'m "paying my dues". That doesn\'t make my current rent any easier to pay.

Living in a material society and having to work for paychecks to buy supplies needed to stay alive and for enjoyment.

We should all be working together to better ourselves and humanity.

there\'s some truth to that though

If you are good enough at what you do, you never "pay your dues", followers pay their dues, leaders collect their dues.

1. People who put the apostrophe in the wrong spot when abbreviating dates (EX: 2008 = \'08 not 08\')...it doesn\'t even make sense

2. People who pull out to the left (or right) before they make a turn from the street.  In a parking lot i can understand, but you can\'t do that shit in traffic
