Ticked off! @ being paperless

Ticked Off! — Thu, 31 May 2012 04:00:00 GMT

I'm ticked off at my coworker who insists on smacking his chewing gum while we are in the break room. You cannot tell me you don't get the hint when your coworkers are putting napkins in their ears to get some peace and quiet.

Ticked off! @ book hog

Ticked Off! — Wed, 30 May 2012 04:00:00 GMT

To the reader ticked off about people who "went missing" : Went missing is not awful grammar, it is CORRECT grammar. It is an idiom using the verb 'to go'

Ticked off! @ strollers

Ticked Off! — Fri, 25 May 2012 04:00:00 GMT

I'm appalled at all of the strollers at a major theme park. It's almost like there's no room for those that do walk around the park. Back in the day, only small babies (those that needed naps) were in strollers. Now, big kids are so lazy they get pushed by their parents. If they are too tired to walk around the park, then it's time to go home. That's why kids in our country are so fat!

Ticked off! @ moody co-worker

Ticked Off! — Fri, 25 May 2012 04:00:00 GMT

I'm ticked off that in this day of answering machines and caller ID, telemarketers think that they can call me and I will answer my phone. If you're an 800 number, a number I don't recognize, or an unknown number, I will not answer my phone no matter how many times you call me. Just leave me alone and stop bugging me!

Ticked off! @ senior discounts

Ticked Off! — Thu, 24 May 2012 04:00:00 GMT

Every week people, including people who oppose gambling, travel out of the county to visit casinos. How about doing a realistic analysis to keep some of the proceeds at home instead of elsewhere?

Ticked off! @ young workers

Ticked Off! — Thu, 24 May 2012 04:00:00 GMT

To the person in the flip side comment: Do you really think the truck driver was being nice just to make your day better? Sounds to me like he had two choices: move off the road to let you in or hit you. It also sounds like you did an improper merge by not matching traffic speed.

Ticked off! @ teens, med labs

Ticked Off! — Tue, 22 May 2012 04:00:00 GMT

I'm ticked off at my neighbor who collects his dog's poop and puts it in my driveway sometime during the night.

Ticked off! @ no cures

Ticked Off! — Tue, 22 May 2012 04:00:00 GMT

If you don't want to dine with dogs then go somewhere else. I realize that ill-bred folks who bring a smelly, aggressive dog to public venues ruins it for the rest of us, but to deny dog lovers a place to dine with their pooches is selfish too!

Ticked off! @ no tips and slips

Ticked Off! — Thu, 17 May 2012 04:00:00 GMT

I'm ticked off at the ignorant person ticked off at government offices because he or she thinks they charge more for using a credit card instead of a check or cash. The extra "convenience fee" you are charged for using a credit card is actually charged by the credit card companies, not by the government office you happen to be in. Get your facts straight!

Ticked off! @ smokers

Ticked Off! — Thu, 17 May 2012 04:00:00 GMT

I'm ticked off that I recommended someone a job to work with me and now I am embarrassed at how provocative she dresses and is constantly on her cell phone, not talking about business. Wonder what my boss thinks?

Ticked off! @ eye surgeons

Ticked Off! — Thu, 17 May 2012 04:00:00 GMT

I'm ticked off to find that eye surgeons do not accommodate the patient's family availability to take them to the surgery. It seems everything is scheduled around their convenience and to heck with the patient. Then we have to hire a caregiver to help us.

Ticked off! @ cable, driver

Ticked Off! — Wed, 16 May 2012 04:00:00 GMT

Call me a crank, but I still play by the rules and have respect for people and property.

Ticked off! @ vet clinics

Ticked Off! — Wed, 16 May 2012 04:00:00 GMT

I wish everyone knew that many, if not most of the clothing drop-off boxes aren't run by charities, but rather companies that resell the goods to textile recyclers and thrift stores. Give only to charities you're familiar with and let's put these vermin out of business! They're stealing from the needy.

Ticked off! @ old hag, ads

Ticked Off! — Tue, 15 May 2012 04:00:00 GMT

I'm very annoyed at the increasing ads that pop up across my computer screen. Even when you try to avoid them they get you.

Ticked off! @ jury duty

Ticked Off! — Mon, 14 May 2012 04:00:00 GMT

I'm ticked off at all the loudmouth jerks who give bus drivers a hard time and do everything they can to make it an unpleasant bus ride including using profanity. Profanity of any type doesn't make things better or make you look smart or anything. It just makes you look stupid.

Ticked off! @ stores, chickens

Ticked Off! — Fri, 11 May 2012 04:00:00 GMT

I'm ticked off because it is now possible to raise chickens in Orlando. What is next? Turning off the electricity or maybe raw sewage in the streets?

Ticked off! @ attorney

Ticked Off! — Thu, 10 May 2012 04:00:00 GMT

I'm ticked off at how a lawn, shrub and pest control company, that just merged with another company, no longer cares about the clients who actually were dedicated to them since the beginning. What happened to treating people like you want to be treated? I would never recommend them anymore!

Ticked off! @ alley chaos

Ticked Off! — Wed, 09 May 2012 07:00:00 GMT

I'm ticked off at a private school that brought a bunch of older students to our local bowling alley for a morning of fun. The behavior of many was atrocious and disrespectful of the other adult bowlers; and just embarrassing to me as a retired teacher. Parents and teachers must instruct students regarding appropriate behavior when they are outside their classroom.

Ticked off! @ cheap, tacky ex

Ticked Off! — Wed, 09 May 2012 04:00:00 GMT

I'm ticked off at my daughter's ex-boyfriend. She broke it off with him and he took all of her jewelry from her jewelry box. Now his present girlfriend is wearing one of those necklaces that he took. How tacky is that, steal a necklace and then recycle it? Do you call that love or just down right dirty! I am waiting to see if she starts wearing the engagement ring he found in a junk car and gave to my daughter because he was too cheap to buy her one.

Ticked off! @ beer shower

Ticked Off! — Tue, 08 May 2012 04:00:00 GMT

I'm ticked off at my son-in-law who has been out of work for two years and he lacks confidence in himself to learn a new trade, or even complete the application process for a driver's license permit. His answer: "I'm a marine, I wish someone would just give me a job."

Ticked off! @ low life, brats

Ticked Off! — Thu, 03 May 2012 04:00:00 GMT

I'm ticked off that the leading cause among young people these days is stupidity!

Ticked off! @ road rage

Ticked Off! — Thu, 03 May 2012 04:00:00 GMT

To the teachers who think they should be accountable to kids: You are paid by (taxpayer dollars) employees and, like it or not, you are going to be accountable to your employer (the taxpayer).

Ticked off! @ dirty diapers

Ticked Off! — Wed, 02 May 2012 04:00:00 GMT

It ticks me off that some people find it acceptable to leave dirty disposable diapers on the ground. Where were you raised, or should I say what raised you? Some people are just nasty trash.

Ticked off! @ niece, mail

Ticked Off! — Tue, 01 May 2012 04:00:00 GMT

I am really ticked off by manufacturers who are making their products smaller or using smaller containers and charging as much (or more) for less! Do they think we don't notice?

Ticked off! @ bridal gowns

Ticked Off! — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 04:00:00 GMT

I'm ticked off because my phone company wants to take away our home phone. I like my home phone.
