things that shouldn’t exist

Yep, folks, you heard it right… things that shouldn’t exist in life. Things that serve absolutely no purpose, and only accomplish annoying, grossing out, complicating things or otherwise just pissing people off…

Let’s start with today on the drive in, shall we? Is it really necessary to have rain, snow, wind, rain, heavy snow and wind all in one day? Cuz walking to building in a combo of sheets of ice covered by freshly fallen snow, and slush caused by the rain just for the heck of it, is not my idea of fun and really… is there some point to it all? I think not.

Okay, now that I’m done with that one, let’s make the list a little easier…

Dog sweaters
Single digit weather
Stickers for cars (especially baseball/soccer/golf decals that look like the ball is stuck in the window… you’re not fooling anyone)
Billboards – nothing to make stupid people slow down to read please
Highlighters that highlight too dark and now you have trouble seeing the word… the point is to highlight the word
Subscription inserts in magazines
Decaf coffee
Non-alcoholic beer
Wallpaper
Any dogs with special needs haircut… i.e. poodles
Slugs and snails
Crickets
Myspace, facebook, classmates… any online site where pathetic people rummage around for one another
The word irregardless
People that say words differently when they want to sound smart
People that use words they don’t understand to sound smart
Cheap alcohol… why drink if not top shelf? No hangover please
Beer in cans
Men that don’t hold the door for you
Men that hold the door way too early and I have to hurry to the door
Voicemail on cell phones
Moon and stars as bathroom décor… eh, pretty much all bath décor that has a theme.
People who steal your medication and won’t give it back… you know who you are. (okay okay, that actual person should exist, but perhaps shouldn't steal... hmmm)

Long pointless lists… Lol

Have a good week!

Um... altered... WTF!

I said this had to say...
"Voicemail on cell phones"
...there IS a purpose and I told you what it was.

And myspace and facebook stay. I just found GORGEOUS ex-boyfriend on Facebook a few weeks ago. It stays. You have no idea how much it stays right now.

But here are two more that can go.
People who types in all caps all the time.
AnD pEoPlE wHo TyPe LiKe ThIs.

Oh yea... and people who reply all to emails without editing the list to exclude people they don't know if it's personal.

ha ha! You shoulda put this on the other blog! I like Facebook too. I do agree with the non-alcoholic beer and beer in cans. Decaf coffee is foolishness. I have to save my personal complaints for tomorrow (hate it when...) Stay warm perhaps with real coffee or real beer out of a bottle :p

I agree completly. dogs in sweaters? that is why they have fur.
decaf anything...not needed for sure.
Beer in cans? do they still sell that???

Dogs in sweaters! Why oh why would you ever do this?

MotherBeck said...

I love reading these kinds of posts. You always say things that I am thinking in a much better way than I would say them. Although I can't agree with EVERYTHING an the list most of them are good. The one about the people that say things when they don't know what they mean REALLY bugs me!!

~V~ said...

question: have you actually tried facebook? :) it's alot less "icky" than myspace.

Katie said...

Gina... I totally had to alter to make it apply to me... hey you wanted no coffee period. That couldn't happen.

All caps distracts me... STOP YELLING AT ME. Also, no punctuation in texts... PLEASE don't make me figure out what you're trying to say.

People who forward emails period.

And Virginia... no I haven't. Just has a bad stigma to me... won't bring myself to do it. If I need to catch up with someone, I'll ask a friend an email address...

Easy.

;)

Katie said...

wait, I thought of another one... yellow and orange starburst. Does anyone ever enjoy these ones? Or try to pawn them off onto other people when they ask for one and you're not gonna give up a pink or a red.

Just sayin.

Anonymous said...

I will take your yellow or orange
starburst any day over the red ones.

Subscription inserts in magazines

So true. and not only pointless but annoying.

the wrath of khandrea said...

looks like i'm gonna have to fight aunt judy for the orange and yellows. although starbursts give me phlegm, so i avoid them.

i'm with you on the anti-facebook, myspace. stupid stupid stuff. get a life. like on blogspot.

you are semi-brilliant you know. this list was very good.
and yes, they still sell beer in cans. it's special for arkansas.

paula said...

calibosmom said...

Tosha said...

and wait...who is talking about forwarding emails being stupid?? silly girl!

Brothers Blog said...

come on now on the hold the door too early. At least they're trying. You should have put the guys that don't hold the door at all on there. lol

lol @ non alcoholic beer. There is absolutely no point. But beer in a can is ok.

nice list.

Montay said...

Single ply toilet tissue WTF you just use more!

Jason, as himself said...

I am so on board with so many of these!!!

May I add televised police chases? They make me nuts.

Shannan said...

So I guess I'm not adding you to my facebook friends. Too bad....

clnmike said...
