    It's like they're trying to fatten you up, like the witch in Hansel and Gretel. I actually told my mom she resembled that witch in actions, because of her forcing food on me. :D

    It's true! *narrows eyes* I wonder if Joel's mom secretly wants to bake me into a pie or something.

    Threaten to push her into the furnace, or stove or whatever it was in that story. That's what I did. :D

    A pie? Nah. More likely roast on a rotisserie. The extra fat content makes for self-basting.

    What annoys me is a certain teenager who prefers to hang home during the weekend than be with her friends.

    Call me prude, but i wish she'd get a life outside of wanting to hang around someone who just want to write and relax for the weekends. Yes i know how bad that sounds, but ‘m vane and i love MY time by MYSELF sometimes, and that includes weekends.

    ^^^ Buy her booze but tell her she can't drink at the house or come home that night (no drinking and driving). That used to get me out of the house.

    People who take random facebook statuses (or just random comments in general) and turn them into a political government bashing argument.

    Nothing wrong with a good debate, but I don't like it ruining my fun thoughts.

    Nope, nothing at all. :)

    I posted a status about farmtown, and she commented with something about our corrupt government. I'm like. Not cool.

    Yours was quite entertaining :)

    I get really annoyed with people who always have to have the last word.

    I hate people touching my PC when i'm not around, only to return and find dozens of new icons on my dektop of which i am also quite particular about. It must be orderly or blank, no icons swimming near the top right corner of the screen.

    Also someone mentioned something about people commenting on food you ordered, that really gets to me too.

    Every currently usable version of Windows allows you to set up separate logons, with passwords. If you MUST allow other users to use your computer, set up a guest account with no Admin privileges for them. But always log off or lock your session when you are away from the computer.

    I had to do that when I lived at home. Every time I had to work or go to school, I would come home to find my laptop had been messed with, so finally I made a user account for myself and then a separate account that everyone else could use. Probably saved some of my younger siblings' lives.

    Door-leaver-openers.

    My hubby is bad for this one. I can tell everywhere he had to look for his things every morning because all the closet doors and cupboard doors get left ajar and the drawers partially extended.

    People that don't put their chair back under the table after getting up.

    I never realized how much this bothered me until last night. Joel's mom has a blu-ray player upstairs, inside of a cupboard on her entertainment center. When Joel uses it, he leaves the cupboard door open, so there will be air flow and the player won't get hot. He was using it last night, and every time I passed the open cupboard door, I wanted to shut it so badly that it hurt. It's like having an itch you can't scratch...

    People who are stubborn to the point of not believing anything.

    I actually find them amusing. If I get into an argument with someone like that, I remember something that a fanatic said to me a while ago (yes, I mean a genuine fanatic - even they hate people as stubborn as those you describe):

    'Take an idea that everyone has considered, and put it in a context that most people despise, and there you have a subjugated audience.'

    I use it in most forum debates, actually, as it's hard to think of something that's effective if you can't stereotype your opponent, and it works brilliantly. It can also be used to make someone feel guilty for something.

    Im pretty lazy in school. I mean i don't study or anything but i do my work well when it's given. A pet peeve of mine are people who don't do anything and then are disrespectful instead of contrite when asked for it.
