People who are too nice! - Just kidding Yogabear!

Wow, guess this one hit a nerve. Glad I'm not the only one who gets peeved now and then. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the good food, Yogabear.

This thread hit a nerve with me...It caused me to look at myself in a deeper way...that's all. It's actually quite hard to offend me, seriously

Much love to all...

Sorry, I hope I didn't offend anyone with all my complaining...I guess. it just depends how full the moon is when I get irritable and have to complain about something...I drive my dh mad and a young veterinarian that I work with. I tell him that I am training him so that he knows what it will be like when he gets married! LOL It does feel good to vent sometimes...Oh, wait..I do it a lot! LOL

[yogabear]

Heidi,

Hey, I'm all for venting It's a good release...it's nice to blow off steam and let go...very healing I'm all about releasing the old so the new can enter. And, I don't think you offended anyone

Is is good or else I end up really driving my dh mad! LOL...I am sure that I do plenty to annoy people too..We are all unique in our special way.

Thank you for the reply..

Biking Goddesses,

Never think that you offend anyone We're so used to not speaking our truth as women...I say express yourself, girlfriends! Express whatever is in your heart and on your mind...and yes, vent too

Oops, forgot to add the part about dancing naked! LOL

I didn't mean a nerve in you...I just meant that it hit home with just about everyone...that we all have our little pet peeves. Hope I didn't offend.

This sortof reminds me of an exercise I did in business class. People are divided up in 4 categories. I know different names were given to different exercises - mine used birds - Eagles, Doves, Owls and Peacocks. Pretty self-explanatory. I am an eagle. No surprise there. Yoga appears to be a Dove. Note Doves make good teachers, human resource adminstrators, nurses etc. Attitude is "can't we all just get along?". Unfortunately my attitude is "What's the bottom line? How fast can I get there" . Doves and Eagles generally do not work well together. I'm best with an peacock.

Would be interesting to find out what we all are and what we do for a living. I'm in law - perfect for an eagle. Owls are usually accountants, financial anaylsts, engineers. Peacocks are perfect in sales or design.

Anyone else out there ever do this exercise and what was the result?

PS Yoga: This is just a website - take nothing of what I say seriously. I some times like to rile up the natives!

In no particular order (some of which have already been stated):

-irregardless
-orientate
-Losing the 'u' in Canadian spelling. It's colour. Neighbour. Favour.
-People who suck their teeth. I sat in front of someone on a 6-hour flight yesterday who made that sickening sound the entire time. I wouldn't be surprised if her enamel is all gone.
-mixing up your and you're
-possessive plurals and other apostrophe mishaps
-people who toss their cigarette butts out the vehicle window thinking that the world is their ashtray
-tailgaters, especially when I'm already driving at least 20 km/h over the speed limit

how do you do this? i've never heard of it.

If I tell you, do you promise to never do it?

Imagine you have a piece of food (say, parsley) caught between your two front teeth. Take your tongue and, while placing it on the front of your teeth, apply pressure to your teeth / suck hard enough (ok, that didn't come out right at all) to make a sucking / suction noise. I really can't describe it.

Trust me. It was enough to make me want to reach back & stick my complimentary pretzel mix in her ear.

i tried it (don't worry no one around me to annoy) but i can't get it down. hmmm... you don't have to worry about me annoying you with it. though i can see how that pretzel mix may have wound up in her ear or up her nose.

My pet peeves:

People who decide to go thru life and be perpetual victims.

People who do EVERTHING for their kids and then wonder why they can't graduate from college, get a job or even raise their own kids.

A woman who used to work here and complained to me that the toilet paper was not soft enough (oh the combacks I can think of)

People who think everyone has as much money as they do to spend on the most, the best and the latest of anything. Ofcourse not realizing that some of us need our money for nonsense items like food, rent, etc.

Young men in the bike shop who think that me a woman over 40 would not be interested in a road bike made of carbon fiber

People who get on the elevator before you can get off it

People who want you to change your plans to see your family so that you can go something with them.

Off the soapbox..........

I was part of a similar study years ago, except they were broken down as:

- Courageous (leaders, sales) "Lead, follow.. or get out of my way!"
- Harmonious (extroverts, people-oriented, emotional) "Let's talk about it"
- Organized (managers, number crunchers, planners) "Let me sort it out"
- Analytical (introverts, scientific) "Leave me alone, I'm working"

I scored off the charts as Analytical. The head of the program said it was unusual for an artist, especially a female one. The category had the fewest members of the four groups – just 13% of those studied – and 80% were male. All I can say in my defense is... At least I didn't wear my plastic Spock ears that day!
