A rant from me just for you. Muah!
So, I’ve never done a bonafide rant before on the blog. I may have hinted here and there about things that bug me, but in general, I try not to rant. However, I think it’s good to get things off of your chest every once and awhile. I probably will do no more than 4 rants a year, but when I do one it will be a doozy!
Here it goes! Things that I wonder about, am annoyed by, or just don’t get!
- When there is a horrifying tragedy involving children, why the hell is ok to interview CHILDREN? Especially when a parent is NOT present!! And, even when a parent is present I find it ridiculous that they would allow their child to be on t.v. instead of loving the child well and helping them deal with the tragedy. The tornado in Moore, Oklahoma and the school shooting in Sandy Hook are two examples that come to mind. This was in poor taste. I have seen this trend for a while. It’s not ok.
- People who go out of their way to tell other people that they are fat. It’s none of your business. You suck too! And quite honestly, people already know if they’re fat. Leave them alone! People are doing the best they can and may be perfectly happy (or not) with how they look. It’s not up to you to tell other people about their weight. It’s rude. If you want to do a loving intervention watch Intervention so that you can learn some tips on how to help a friend/relative out without making them feel like sh$t.
- People who go out of their way to hurt other people’s feelings. You suck. This happened to me in a store. A person that I‘ve never seen in my life decided to tell me that my hair looked bad. I already knew that it did! I was getting it done that week. I scared her though because I didn’t react and just wished her a “Blessed Day.” So, she repeated the insult again. I again wished her a “Blessed Day.” I came to find out that this was not her first time insulting someone in that store. She was a shopper who regularly insulted the staff and other clients. She also gets a lot of spit burgers when she is out because she is a mean, unhappy, spiteful person.
- I hate flip flops on children who are really small! Their little ankles need stability. What is it with people putting adult shoe styles on really small kids? I also hate seeing them wearing high heels. Suri Cruise.
- Wearing Pajamas Outside-WTF?? How is this ok? Especially when they are flannel and it’s summer. Or, when they look dirty. I really HATE this. If you’re so depressed that you don’t bathe and change before leaving your home talk to someone. Go to a therapist. For the rest of you. You’re lazy and there is no excuse.
- Politics–Politicians who don’t listen and put themselves before their constituents. PORK in bills. Classified Leaks-I don’t care what political party you’re in, this is a very dangerous trend. Judge Clarence Thomas never speaking. What is the point to you? Tom Tancredo-you’re just a dick. Liberals who are so liberal that any other way of thinking is wrong. Same for Conservatives who are so conservative that no other way is right.
- When people are surprised that there are black people in Colorado. Every time I travel and say I’m from Colorado people look surprised and then say “I didn’t think there were black people in Colorado!” People-start traveling. We are everywhere. Evil laugh. Bwahaha.
- Americans who say they are Canadians when traveling abroad. If you don’t have the balls to travel and represent-then don’t travel. Canada is getting sick of you messing up their rep. I have never had a problem traveling while American. It’s all in how prepared you are and being open to change. I have even gotten free food in France. That NEVER happens.
- Canadians who get crazy angry and say they aren’t American when there is a mixup. Why don’t you just proudly say, “We’re Canadian!” And talk about the amazing country you are from without disparaging the U.S.A. ? Canada is wonderful! Americans never put down Canada. We only joke about “eh.” Really, that’s about it. Maybe we’re the equivalent of Texas to Canadians? Sorry Texas!
- People walking and eating all the time-EVERYWHERE. You have Irritable Bowel Syndrome for a reason. And gas. Sit down and enjoy your food.
- People who sleep with their dogs. Why? This isn’t medieval England. You sleep with your dog, you won’t sleep with me. Please read the studies on this. It confuses your pet. I’m not making this up.
- People who complain about other people’s dogs barking too much-while believing that “my dog doesn’t make that much noise when I’m gone!” I hate to tell you this, but your dog does bark incessantly while you’re gone. So stop lying to yourself.
- Refusing to believe that what you do as an individual doesn’t have an impact on others. We are all connected. Get over yourself if you think we’re not.
- Healthy people who drive to places that they could walk to.
- All of the shrieking in tennis.
- People who hate reading. You scare me.
- Kids not wearing uniforms to school. It’s their job. They would respect it more if they dressed up for it. Adults not looking nice for work. It’s your job. Look nice. You would respect it more if you dressed up for it. Casual Fridays are o.k. But, not casual everyday.
- All of the cleavage everywhere. Thanks for reminding me I’m flat chested. But, I’m pretty sure that deep cleavage at work or not wearing bras is a No No. Keeps happening though. This seems like a no brainer
Some things about myself that annoy me!
- I hate random wet puddles . Is it dog pee/people pee/ or water? I lived in France for a while and guys would pee in dark corners in the street at the end of the night. Think 3:00 a.m. I also live in Denver with dogs EVERYWHERE. They are always lifting up their legs to pee.
- I get nervous about public seats. I always have to double check the seats. Once I sat on a wet one…I think it was pee.
- I can sometimes be a whiner. Am working on this.
- I am my own worst enemy when it comes to my own personal progress and development. Am working on this.
- I can be a bit of a Princess. That’s because I’m an only child…I think!
Well, that’s enough for now. I feel great getting this off my chest! What about you. Share some of you pet peeves, things that annoy you, or things that make you wonder. Wtf??

I cracked up about the black people living in Colorado thing. lol! People can be so ignorant! I’m guilty of going outside in my flannel pajamas, but only to move the car on street sweeping days, and I’m healthy and probably drive to too many places that are close by. Oh and the shrieking in tennis dose serve a purpose. I grunt in volleyball when I hit the ball hard. You’re sucking back air to jump/wind up/etc, so when you release it’s what comes out. I’m short so I need all the help I can get. I can’t believe that lady would insult your hair. I was once doing yoga and we were in cobra and this lady goes, “wow you’re arms are gross and freaky.” referring to my double jointed-ness. I mean really?

Tonya, you wouldn’t believe how many times people have been shocked by the fact that I’m from Colorado. Tennis players didn’t shriek as much when I was younger. But, I’m not complaining about Rafa’s grunts.LOL!!! I cannot believe someone said that to you in YOGA!!! Thoughts are supposed to be turned inward. I don’t judge you on the flannel p.j.s as I imagine that you aren’t: going to school, the grocery store, etc. in them!
