JFF: Stuff You'd like to Crush..

scammers!! I'm so sick of scammers. My poor mother in law is getting calls from people proclaiming to be from the IRS and threatening to arrest her. Tyler and I have told her to hang up on them. It is causing a lot of stress for her.

People in campgrounds who get loaded, stumble around in dark screeching and waking everyone up. Well after designated quiet time.

"Could I be pregnant" mamapedia questions. If you had sex, yes, you *could* be pregnant. Technically not "crushable" but annoys me just the same. lol

People in the grocery checkout line who, when it's time to pay for their purchases, just then decide to start to search through their monstrous handbag for a checkbook, and then a pen, or a debit card that they tossed in the bottom of the bag with some random stuff, like it's a surprise to them that they have to pay and it hadn't occurred to them before.

Leaf blowers. They are so LOUD. It's like we don't rake leaves anymore. We blow them around with these things with roaring engines.

Heck, if I didn't want to hear the drama, I'd just enjoy my own coffee at home for 90% less in silence! LOL.

People wearing exercise wear when they're not working out. Real clothes are not that hard to put on. I wear my yoga wear to an actual yoga class and then put on clothes afterward.

Meat like chicken breasts that comes in a pack of three, when I need two or four. I've never needed three.

When the market only has quick check open and I'm there doing a week's worth of shopping. I then look like a total jerk unloading a huge cart of food in quick check. It never fails ... after I've unloaded half, they open up a real lane and then I really do look like a horrible or stupid person who doesn't follow the rules.

People who think that brain disorders are overdiagnosed, can be treated naturally or are due to bad parenting. Even worse, they don't "believe" in them.

Women's pants that are only meant for stick-straight bodies. If I get pants that fit my hips, they have a massive waist that gaps a couple inches. Very few brands fit a curvy figure (not overweight, just small waist, big hips).

So-called experts that claim sunscreen over SPF 50 isn't necessary. This redhead can testify to the fact that there is a huge difference between SPF 50, 70 and 100. I've had the sunburns to prove it.

Those who eat at our restaurant who complain that we don't serve soft drinks. Suck it up, buttercup, we're focusing a bit more on serving you amazing food, try the Jasmine Tea.

Cell phones of people in the check out line who can't hear what the clerk is saying and hold up the line for everyone else.

People in the supermarket with a Blue Tooth who just look like they're talking to themselves.

People who don't pick up after their dogs. If you're dog's in my garden, he'd damn well better be weeding it.

Barbie doll high heels. Can't tell you how many of those suckers we stepped on in bare feet when my stepdaughters were younger.

Hot dogs that come in a different size pack than the buns.

CVS register receipts that are 3 feet long, and you only purchased 1 item.

Movie theater concession clerks who are required to ask to you up-size everything or purchase at least one more item than you ordered.

Oh wow - I'd crush the food of people in my workplace who chew in that really gross loud mouth-smacking way...if their food was crushed, they could just swallow it, right? :-)

ETA: There's a fun mock music video called "Activewear" (can be found on YouTube), about everything women do in their daily lives in yoga pants etc other than going to the gym. Good for a laugh for anyone who wants to "crush" that!

Fireworks.. Not the ones the city does but the ones my neighbors do when ever they feel like it. I'm sitting here relaxing and BOOM it sounds like a big gun just went off.

My husband would love to get rid of EVERY cell phone. He rides the bus and metro to work every day and the stuff he hears is just mind boggling!!! Phone sex. Break up. Divorce. You name it! He's heard it.

I'd love to crush the damn cars (or drivers) that don't use their damn blinkers!!!

Cell phones use while driving is a pet peeve of mine.
I see people pull out of parking spots with a phone glued to their ear - it's like they can't drive without it.
I saw a car flip over and land upside down in a deep ditch last summer - the girl was fine but she was texting, saw her turn come up and jerked her steering wheel without braking.
She could have killed herself, passengers and/or anyone else on the road at the time.

LuLa Roe in the office. Sure, some of the stuff is cute - but leggings with pigs flying on them is NOT appropriate work attire.

My 13 year old says leggings aren't for adults anyways :).

Suz T - lol! It's all good! I am not super young and am a fluffy lady! I work in a Government building where there are a lot of suits. So the pig flying leggings simply don't work here. But a gift shop? Why not?? I'm not ANTI leggings, but they do not belong in the office atmosphere where I work.

Anyone blathering loudly on their cell phone in any public location, especially waiting rooms/areas.
Phone booths had doors for a reason :-(

smartphones are fun in coffeeshops because you can FB! but talking on phones anywhere you're imposing your conversation on others is inappropriate.
i'm much more torqued about drivey things, though. driving while texting, not using turn signals, refusing to let people on or off ramps, speeding dangerously OR going aggressively slowly in the passing lane.
ETA, ah, i thought the leggings haters might come out, and here you are! y'all are clearly young taut women. leggings are the best things that have ever happened to old fat women. we don't care that y'all 'don't want to see that.' avert your eyes. i wear my flying pig leggings to work (in a gift shop) with a long tunic top that covers my derriere and am the happiest girl in the world.
yay, lula roe!
ETAA jill and KM- it's not hard. comfort. we're not all put here to pander to your aesthetics.
:D khairete
S.

Texting and Driving!!!!!
Yoga pants and tanks as everyday wear!!

i would like to crush the cell phones of people driving. its illegal to hold a phone while driving. period. and i know damn well that if your staring at your crotch while pulling up behind me at a stoplight that your on your phone.
i want to crush the media too they do nothing but lie and make up stuff.. can't watch anything without being lied to in one way or another.
want to crush commercials too i wanna watch a show, not see something about a car or truck or opraha and bread

Wet tea towels in the kitchen. They gross me out. I crush them in my hand, throw them down the basement stairs into the laundry pile and pull out another one. I would rather fold a pile of them than have to try to 'dry' my hands off on a wet one. Disgusting.

(Generally speaking) people who don't the difference between genuine advice and judgmental opinions😉 wouldn't mind crushing that 😂

coffee shops.
They're pretentious.
ADDED: People who feel like they can chime in on what I wear. You know what? I'm fat...and I wear tank tops. Not because I want to show the world my "big flabby arms" but because I'm hot. Don't like it...look the other way. I'm not THAT big that you see me in your full 360. grrrr....

I would like to crush the ads that come up every time I comment on something. I responded to the memory foam mattress question and now I am being bombarded with memory foam mattress ads. No, I don't need a memory foam mattress...geez!

NewName2013! Yes!!
I hate when I go to the store and all the packages of meat are exactly the same. Every package of ground beef/ground round/ground sirloin are almost exactly 1 pound. I need 1.5 pounds! I don't want 2 lbs. I need more than 1 pound. Every stinking package is exactly the same!! Can't we have some options??? I don't want to deal with freezing the extra. It won't be enough to make anything with anyway. I don't want to buy more than I need. Grrrr.

I'd also like to crush a particular exit ramp stop light that is apparently not on a sensor. It requires you to sit through the whole thing (nearly 2 solid minutes) before giving the left turn signal, even when there are NO cars coming for 45 seconds or more, until right up until the light is almost ready to change and then a huge influx of vehicles have to stop for the light as we finally get the green. It's frustrating for everyone, I think.

Oh, and school policy about utensils. I'd like to crush that. My daughter can't even take a prepackaged plastic spork/knife/napkin set in her lunch box without risking getting in trouble for having "a knife" at school. To eat her lunch! Grrr.

oh.. and since we just went through some weather, I'd also like to crush people who turn on their hazard lights and keep driving down the interstate. NO! Do not turn your hazard lights on unless you are pulling off of the roadway! You create even more hazards for everyone when you drive down the road with those on. You *think* you are more visible, but what you really are is a distraction as the people behind you try to determine if you are hitting the brakes, along with every other idiot around you who also turned on their hazards. Just pull over if you don't feel safe/competent to stay on the highway. THEN you can put your hazard lights on.

The leggings posts reminded me - I really dislike tank tops on women who have big, flabby arms. I'm thin and I don't wear tank tops. I don't understand why so many women who are overweight - significantly overweight - wear tank tops all the time. Why not short sleeves? Tank tops are so unflattering and unattractive. So I wish that would go away.

People who call me for a phone number but I have to hold while they find paper and pen

People who make right on reds and cut me off as if they have the green light.

Sometimes, it's the little things in life:

Straws served with all drinks, even though many are just tossed.
Folks driving up to my bumper.
Cars that seems to lack a working "blinkah".
Coffee served in styrofoam cups.
Bad wine.
Grouchy moments.
Facebook posts that indicate I'm a looser if I don't agree.

Thanks a lot. This was fun!!!!

Two things come to mind right away - people on their cell phones talking loud in a store when I'm trying to shop and loud annoying music in almost every store everywhere.

can people count too? my brother went after me verbally and emotionally abusing me again last week and I am now officially done with that relationship.

abusive, arrogant, condescending, narcissistic people. no. I'm not quite done feeling my feelings.
