What pisses you off?

[adrian]

On my way to school on the Route A Express bus, a young mother (probably around mid 20s or so) came on the seat infront of me (I was sitting in on the last bench of seats against the engine) and began feeding her 2 year old son with crackers (apparently bought from the 711 near the bus stop where she got on) and began eating some herself. Apparently, she never read the sign at the front of the bus saying that there's no eating in the bus (I guess OTS should have the signs in english too) and drinking a soda, and feeding her son milk.

To make matters worse, when crumbs fell onto her lap and son, she just wiped it off with her hand onto the ground, making a mess infront of other bus riders. When she got off, the seat was covered in cracker crumbs and spots of milk from the baby. She didn't even take care of the baby, as he was pulling on the request stop signaler and she just pulled him, and ate.

If you have something that pisses you off, post it here. (it kinda relieves you from the stress).

Noise Polution....

At 5 or 6 am when you are trying to sleep, &
people don't stop to realize that they are waking others up!. :mad:

And....

Polution itself!.....

People smoking & not caring how it can affect other people's health!,
And also people barbequing from below, as the smoke rises
to your apartment!. :mad:

SIGH.

Thank goodness for my signature,
"Be tranquil in one's mind". :)

[makepagirl]

people who don't care for their keikis...i see sooo many parents with lil ones,in restaraunts,offices,stores,my house,etc..they let em run wild,or just ignore them...i always kept a bag with water,crackers,book,notepad &color pencils&1 small toy when i was in public..that way lil hands are kept busy...!! :D

[Miulang]

Nothing really pisses me off anymore, but I have to shake and/or scratch my head everytime I see people doing things that are either hazardous to themselves or to others, or making public policy that will hurt generations to come just because they want the glory or to line their pockets in the short term.

LOUSY STINKING DEMOCRATS!!! Nah nah nah only joke! :D

You know what pisses me off to the point that if I had a shotgun I'd use it? Those damned loud mufflers on those friggin loud Harley's that wake up my 9-month old boy when he's sleeping in his car seat.

They say it needs to be loud so motorists will notice them. Yeah right in my gun sights is where I'll notice them. As a bicyclist I've learned to stay out of a car's blind side. Motorcyclists need to follow that too even cars for that matter.

I was in Kona on Labor day and there was a chopperfest with motorcyclists rapping their engines at all hours of the night in the parking lot of Uncle Billy's Hotel trying to outdo each other. Loud pipes for safety? Indeed, insomnia is more like it. :mad:

Should wonder & ask them ~

"Is that your new version of a blow job"?. :D

I had this friend long time ago, he had finished re painting
one of his car parts, while it was hanging & drying, he was also
manually trying to dry it off.

so I made a comical comment & said:
"oh look, he is trying to give it a blow job". :D

Well, he was. LOL. :p

[LeiLani619]

There's a few things that piss me off. :mad:! Well, I work with kids (2-5 yr. olds) and what pisses me off is when parents bring their kids in dirty. AWWWW that makes me soooo mad. They have time wash their cars, shine their rims but don't have time to clean up their kid! Another, thing is these parents bring their sick babies into the daycare, knowing they don't have to go to work, but would rather shop. And while their shopping, their kid is feeling like crap and when the parents pick them up all they can say is "well, he was feeling good this morning" :mad:! Oh and another thing, when these parents have these children that "need extra attention", (ex: the child is not very verbal so their very physical and even violant, can't keep up with their age group) the parents are in so much denial that they totally ignor the fact that the only person that is hurting is the child. So Sad! :( .

There's other things that piss me off but when it comes to parents and their kids, i just get so mad, because I have a child of my own and there's no way I could see myself hurting my child. She's my life!!!

[craigwatanabe]

Ho!! Dats one pissed off Wahine! But das okay...I can imagine if one kid comes to da daycare with ukus! Better not drink that Starbucks double shot expresso on that day ho man you goin ballistic if that happened!

You're right, parents in denial are the worst any childcare provider has to contend with.

But you know what really pisses me off? It's when my wife uses my razor to shave her legs and leaves it all worn out for me to find out when I rake my face with it the next day! Dammit one day I swear I going use her Tampax to blow my nose in and put it back in da box! :eek:

EEWWW....
Yesterday I was riding home on the C train(subway) and these two teen girls were eating McD's and had spilled fries with ketchup all over the floor in front of them without making any attempt to clean up the mess or at least cover it with a napkin or something. No shame!!! Thing is, that's not even the worst subway story I could tell. :eek:

Other things:

People who crack their gum
Cell phones
People who don't use their turn signals, don't come to a complete stop, or honk when I'm crossing the street(I cross extra slowly when dealing with these a**h***s)
People(usually guys) who take up more than one seat on a train or bus by spreading their legs
People on transit who think they're doing you a favor by entertaining you with their singing or whistling

[Pelix]

unattended cell phones, alarm clocks, crazy drivers, pollution, gross tasting food, people who don't flush the toilet

[Serenity]

unattended cell phones, alarm clocks, crazy drivers, pollution, gross tasting food, people who don't flush the toilet

Yup. I can agree with that.

How about the worse kind, in public restroom(s).

You have to go so bad, & by accident, you pick that one door...
and it's not even flushed.

Or the same, & there is only one, made for both women & men,
& the last person who left, didn't flush.

I am sure everyone can relate to that one.

Or another one....
I am sure everyone can definately agree & relate to this one...

"better to be pissed off, than pissed on". :D LOL.

Wow with a name like Serenity, it's hard for me to believe you can get pissed off. But I'll bet when you do, ho boy better head for the hills. Just remember, I'm on your side okay? :)

People who say animals are just dead matter. That's there's no one in there. That animals can't get hurt.

Coming home and it's a big mess.

Lateness....

Stupid excuses

[adrian]

People who beat up animals "for fun"

I just remembered a story on CNN headline news, about a group of people who was hurting a baby seal. She spotted the people on the beach, realized what was going on, and tried to call 911 on her cell. She made the call, but the group saw her, approached her, took her cell phone, house keys and car keys, and threw them into the ocean, and left before police arrived.

The seal was taken care of at some facility, but it died. I remembered the reporter say something about a fishing line tied tightly around its neck, into its muscle.

Those are the people who should be put in a house, and let big ol' samoan guys with rope do the same thing to them, and drag them out onto the street for everyone to see.

They make me sick.

I hate excuses period. When I was a department manager, I would get excuses for mistakes made in the workplace. I would put my hand up at the first breath of an excuse and tell them: I don't want to hear excuses why you failed to do your job, I want to hear a solution to what you're going to do about it, come back when you have a good answer and not a poor excuse.

Yeah I wasn't sympathetic to anyone who created a problem and didn't have the integrity to resolve it making me responsible for cleaning up their mess.

But what really pisses me off is when you're microwaving popcorn and you know just about all of the kernals have popped but you want to get your money's worth and pop the small handful of dud kernals left over. And in your greed for more popcorn, you burn the rest of the popcorn and now the aromatic smell of hot buttered popcorn is replaced with the smell of something belching out of the smoke stacks at any of the chemical manufacturing plants at Campbell Industrial Park. Oh das so sad!

Fluctuating prices.......put a price on something and leave it the hell alone!!!!!!!
I bought my ticket to Oahu last Wed. for 422, last night it was priced at 335, today, it was 355, etc............ :mad: :mad: :mad:
It seems such a waste of time and energy to constantly change the prices in a machine or whatever. And sometimes they havent been and you get overcharged and have to go thru a riggamoro....... :rolleyes:

This one really pisses me off: Living in Hawaii.

I know, Hawaii is the best place on earth: beautiful sunsets everyday (when it isn't raining), a lot of fresh food, aloha everywhere (when it isn't rush hour) and friends everywhere like everyone part of the ohana.

But the reason why I sometimes hate living in Hawaii, is that we're last to receive everything: Walmarts, Best Buys, long shipping times, and especially video games (atleast for me)). I ran to Ala Moana Shopping Center (my school is just accross the street on Kapiolani) and they tell me that a game isn't here (it was on the plane, and will come tomorrow).

That game was already delayed by a week, and now I won't be playing it for a day. I busted my behind for that game (I pushed myself to pass all of my 3rd quarter classes, and I did, so I'm waiting for my reward), but if you want something, then you'll wait for it.

Going to the grocery and finding out i lost my list.

[EastCoastTropics]

1 - Definately Poor Customer Service!!

2 - Folks (serial killers in training) who are cruel to animals.

3- This incident (or rather the stupidity of this girl) royally pissed me off: I was visiting my parents back in 1994. I went to go put gas at our local convinience store. While I was pumping the gas a young girl pulled up, got out of her car and started pumping gas all the while she had a lit cigarette in her hand and was puffing on the damn thing! :eek: When I saw that my eyes just bugged out and I told her that there is no smoking around the gas pumps and I pointed out the signs to her. She just said "oh", giggled and put her cancer butt out. Shheeesh, how freaking stooopid is that?!

[Babooze]

At the risk of seeming like a jerk (this being my first post), Hawaii politics really piss me off. Our goverment are slaves to big devoplers. These people give little or no thought to basic infrastrucsure. Our roads are grossly inadquete and poorly planned for the the present population. Our natural resourses are being ignored,very little recycling, no Windpower, no Desalinisation or new resivores, our fish stocks are plummeting to dangerously low levels. Yet new resorts are being planned all the time.

Just a short list of other things:
Pollution, Polluters
Drug dealers
Price of housing
Decline of places to Fish/Hunt
Lack of respect for our fellow Man/Woman
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH ....................
Okay I feel a little better now

[craigwatanabe]

Ahhh those disclaimers, I think I still have my Voice over disclaimers running on a few of those paid infomercials and block programming on KHVH yet, must be over 7-years old by now.

But you know what really pisses me off? When people don't signal when moving into a turn lane then signal when they want to turn. So technically if you're in a dedicated left turn lane and you signal for a left turn, one could assume you're making a u-turn.

AND THEN!!! There's that stupid Dell Computer customer service commercial where that guy in bed is talking to a VERY AMERICAN customer service representative and YOU KNOW if you were to try it you'll hook up some female from India named "Sally" who can't understand your distinctly American accent.

THEN there's those people who load up their milk, eggs and cheese purchased with WIC coupons into their brand new Caddy Escalade with Bling Bling spinning 22-inch rims! HOW THE F*@K does that happen!

AND FINALLY!!! People who talk the talk but can't walk it! I see it all the time in the retail business: A customer who demands to be treated like friggin Imelda Marcos and only buys the cheap stuff because they cannot afford the real McCoy!

But other than that I'm a pretty mellow guy :)

[kimo55]

which reminds me.. how bout those (not you, Craig...) that skewer old sayings to the point of meaninglessnes?

It is "walk the talk."
as in:
"DO what ya SAY you are gonna do.
"put your money where your mouth is"
or
"actions speak louder than words"

"talk the talk. walk the walk."
It means nothing. let's go back.. NOT too terribly long ago, and use the actual saying.
It has come to mean absolutlely nothing anymore, Just as these two other duuummmmb slogans:
"That Said".
and
"arguably"

meaningless.
The paragraph would be none the worse (and would flow even better) if they were NOT used.

ok. rant mode off.

[craigwatanabe]

Okay so what's wrong with "Have your cake and eat it too" I mean if you're going to buy/bake a cake you should be able to eat it. It'd be kinda moronic not to. Like buying a car and not driving it. Of course I want to have my cake and eat it too what else are you going to do with it?

I was down at the Salvation Army and picked up an old GTE beige desk phone with a dial on it! It sits on my desk and it works too. It's great because I don't have pulse dialing so it can only receive calls which makes it great because no one uses it for outbound calls, plus the ringer is the actual two-tone brass ringer so people freak out when they hear it go off instead of the common electronic warble of today's phones.

So what does this have to do with what pisses me off? When we still have to use archaic terms like Dial up or Dial Tone. Today's youth has no idea what the hell that means anymore! My 21-year old looks at my dial phone and asks me how it works. Back then dialing 911 was significantly harder to do discreetly and yes it did exist back then along with party lines which also pissed me off when you had to use the phone and some moron was tying up the partyline.

Okay I'm mellow now :)

I DOOOO... hope you are joking and NOT actually being literal.

This means, One can't use something up and still have it to enjoy. This proverb was recorded in the book of proverbs by John Heywood in 1546, and is first attested in the United States in the 1742. Some history, eh, brah!?

This antiquated adage is of course, through the course of history, to be found in varying forms: "You can't eat your cake and have it too." (figgah it out) "You can't have everything and eat it too"

I hate it when ya clik on a link on a web site for;
contact us
and all ya get is:
yer email program launches!

Contact
is
"phone numbers"
or
physical address for walk in contact.
NOT simply email. which is not "contacting us".

[Serenity]

What pisses me the most are...

Advertisements, junkmails,adds, & spams that are being sent
to your home based e-mail. :mad:

So, to resolve that issue at hand,
either just do the "unsubscribe",
but others will still continue to
to e-mail you regardless!. :mad:

Another way, to resolve that issues are...
either to click on "block sender" to junk mails, or
to make &/use another non homebased
e-mail such as garfield.com, freesite.com, etc..
so that way,all of the once that you hate
to have, will just automatically go there. ;) :D

ha ha ha ha (sounds of evil laughter).

[tvguy]

Craig got me thinking about some driving-related issues:

-My big peeve is being behind the person in the left hand turn lane stopped at the traffic light without the blinkers on. When the light turns green, then they decide to turn on the turn signal. for some reason, this always happens when I'm in a hurry or late for something....

-Or the folks who merge into a lane in front of you without looking, and exasperate me even more when I honk the horn and get and apologetic "sorry I didn't see you wave."

-People who get stuck in the middle of an intersection while you're trying to turn left and leave you stuck there. Similar situation when folks run the yellow or red while you're still waiting to turn left.

-Drivers not paying attention to the road and more attention to their phone calls

-i live in an area where I need to park on the street and space is limited.....Double parkers KILL me!!!!

Maybe this is why road rage exists, because of stupid drivers......What does make my day though, is when you let some kind of big truck merge in front of you, and see a big huge paw come out the window and give a nice, strong, yet understated, "shaka with a twist".

[kimo55]

-People who get stuck in the middle of an intersection while you're trying to turn left and leave you stuck there. Similar situation when folks run the yellow or red while you're still waiting to turn left.



Example; lunalilo offramp and you are going ewa. BIG signs everywhere; "do not block intersection". As you try fo cross Piikoi to get to the next street to turn left, at da post office, many's a time when we see people blocking the intersection, preventing us from advancing on our green light.
They break the law and inconvenience US... just so they can get through and NOT wait for the next light.
Thank god get one cop erry now and then with a ticket book near rush hour...

(that's pretty much the root of it; the "I" centered universe.
Jerks on da road basically saying; "I don't wanna be inconvenienced, so I will inconvenience YOU")


Maybe this is why road rage exists, because of stupid drivers......


no. "stupid drivers" are not the cause of road rage.

[craigwatanabe]

eh Kimo...If someone had everything and you ask where would they put it, well I imagine somewhere in that everything pile of stuff acquired they will have enough storage units to keep all of that stuff.

When that literal proverb became the cake/eat thing that's when it lost it's meaning because that's not a good representation of everything/where to put mentality.

Now let me ask you this. The term "Cakewalk" as in: No problemo this job's a cakewalk! I take this as a combination of "walk in the park" meaning easily done and "having your cake and eating it too". So not only is this an easy task but you'll get everything you asked for. That's how I interpret "cakewalk" Analysis Kimo?

Okay here's another pisser: Long cell phone voicemail messages like "Hi Craig I know you're not in that's why I'm talking to your voicemail but you need to call me back on this issue so when you get this message can you please call me, I won't be in my office so you can call me on my cell phone but if it doesn't reach me leave a message and I'll call you back"

Now here's the short and sweet version: Craig...Kimo call my cell urgent! click.

Or my oldest boy's cell phone incoming message/monologue that's a minute long. My message on his voice mail: Shorten the greeting or you're paying for your cellphone minutes...dad click.

noooononono. not a combo.
there is an actual and slightly intriguing, as it is drawn out, origin to this:

The cakewalk was originally a 19th-century dance, invented by African-Americans in the antebellum South. It was intended to satirize the stiff ballroom promenades of white plantation owners, who favored the rigidly formal dances of European high-society. Cakewalking slaves lampooned these stuffy moves by over-accentuating their high kicks, bows, and imaginary hat doffings, mixing the cartoonish gestures together with traditional African steps. Likely unaware of the dance's derisive roots, the whites often invited their slaves to participate in Sunday contests, to determine which dancers were most elegant and inventive. The winners would receive cake slices, a prize which gave birth to the dance's familiar name.

After Emancipation, the contest tradition continued in black communities; the Oxford English Dictionary dates the widespread adoption of "cakewalk" to the late 1870s. It was around this time that the cakewalk came to mean "easy"—not because the dance was particularly simple to do but rather because of its languid pace and association with weekend leisure.
There. the authoritative, plagarized be-all, end all... to it all.
(NOT end all, be all.)

My dearly departed dad's outgoing answering machine message:
"speak... at the beep."

[craigwatanabe]

Kimo you should start a thread describing the origins of most of today's sayings. Nowdays the word cakewalk denotes a program to digitally edit audio.

I like the speak at the beep I think I'll adopt that one, tell your dad thanks in your next prayer to him :)

[tvguy]

It's a pain when you do leave a voicemail and the person doesn't check it, but instead just calls you back because they see they missed a call from you. Then you have to repeat what you said on the message. My wife is notorious for this!

[craigwatanabe]

I do that simply because to navigate thru my voice mail to check messages is harder than simply calling my wife back on the phone and have her tell me.

That's why it's better to just leave the essential information: Name and return phone number instead of your life story.

My kid left me a long message begging me to let him stay late at his friend's house. I called him back on his cell and was greeted with his long-winded incoming message. My answer was a short "NO" which meant, "Come home on time as scheduled or else priviledges will be suspended".

I hate wading thru a long voice mail for a simple answer, or request especially if I have several more messages to listen to.

OH YES now I know exactly what pisses me off: Teenagers who think they know it all! One of my teenager boys is 18 and he thinks he knows more about how the world ticks because I won't let him drive my car (my BMW that is). I'd love to tell him my butthole knows more about life than him.

But(t) for now I tell him life's full of surprizes and there's more to life than MTV, one surprize is when he gets a job (thinking he'll have zillions of dollars to spend on IPod stuff) there's a thing called TAXES and surprize #2: his very own cellphone bill. I want to take a picture of his face when he sees that, it's gonna be priceless!! Oh yeah...Booyah! :D

You know there's a reason why there are bad people like sexual predators and people who leave soda cans for someone else to pick up (interesting comparison). Without them we'd have nobody to else to gauge what is good and bad.

Bad people make everyone else look good so the next time you come upon an evil person, thank them for making you look good. :D They'll never know what hit them.

[1stwahine]

Craig, I can just imagine me walking around Chinatown and thanking all the "Evil" ones...they already know I'm crazy. They goin be moa scared of me. Then again, why would I want to be good? I like being bad, not all the time but sometimes. Joke, joke

[craigwatanabe]

Das da spice of life eh! I guess if you're gonna be all good then you should aspire to be the new Pope.

Okay so it's not THAT bad if you forgot to pick up that soda can but to be a sexual predator...NOW THAT'S REALLY BAD!!

[Moto]

I guess this one does not get me pissed, but close, more like extremely irritated. I was watching the news the other day and they showed a clip of the Anti-Rape Rally at UH. They showed this one girl that stated, that the University should have e-mailed every student to make them aware that there were some incidents of sexual assualts reported in the Manoa Area. To that, I ask the question, where was this individual during the past week(s)? I saw these reports in the papers, on the news, heard about it on the radio... This brings me to my peeve. What ever happened to being responsible for your own actions (or in some cases, inactions)? (in this case this individual choose not to attempt to keep herself informed by watching the news, reading the papers, listening to the radio that has some sort of news reporting). Why is it someone else's fault that you do not have common sense and makes bad judgements? I guess that is what our society has become, "Let's blame someone for our misfortunes and get rich off of it".

Theres more, but I'll step down off of my soapbox now...

[1stwahine]

Das da spice of life eh! I guess if you're gonna be all good then you should aspire to be the new Pope.

I'm not even going make fun of the POPE. May he RIP.

As for Soda Cans...I was talking about not only of one but the accumulation of soda cans. Another thing I get pist off about is anyone using the ice and refilling the ice tray. No, not Batu. Ice from the freezer made out of water.

Sexual Predators on children and 80 year olds....that pisses me off the most. That's sick, sick, sick!

Today, I'm pist cause I can't walk again. LIFE is still BEAUTIFUL! Have a nice day everyone.

[craigwatanabe]

Well if your legs can't do the walking around Chinatown...you can let your fingers do it right here on Hawaii Threads yeah!

Now getting on the UH attacks...there should be better security simply because the demands on UH students to study after hours at Hamilton or other places is somewhat of a requirement. I also feel that if you do have to walk the area at night alone, you should call for the already available security escort service. Really though you should plan on walking with a group of people.

Common sense dictates that darkened and desolate streets are no place for anyone no matter how safe it may seem.

But to have a cheerleading rally to get the message across seemed a bit out of place for something so dire. If you're gonna be symbolic, how about something we can relate to! That rally was a bit on the bizzare side...I mean to the casual observer passing by they're probably wondering what they're cheering about and why those gaudy black and pink cheerleading outfits!

All that effort in organizing and rallying support could have been better utilized by simply getting the message across the way they rallied for: by email.

Can you imagine this rally organizer being the next manager of a Fortune 500 company: Memo To All Staff...I need everyone to understand corporate policy on sexual harrassment so this afternoon I'm going to have a pep rally in Conference Room B, bring your cameras!

Actually that would kinda be more fun than a boring meeting of the corporate minds. :D

[Serenity]

Craig, I am sure every male staff in your office will be bringing in their cameras, & I bet it would be a change of scenery, & more added fun. ;)

on seious note. What I am P.Off about is.....

Aging & growing older... :mad:
sure that may be a part of life, but why can't we just age gracefully,painless, & still contiue to be abled body & to beable to have our legs to work?!.

I am also P.Off that 1stwahine can't walk!. :mad:

1stwahine, I hope that you are able to use a wheel chair if anything else, & atleast there are still alot of things you can still do with your hands. Or perhaps, use those motor scooters for disable people, that way, you can also still be able to get around youself. :)

Aloha & Take Care.

[1stwahine]

Craig and Serenity, You are making my pain go away from laughing so hard. Serenity, you are a doll...I'm not even thinking about using a disabled wheelchair again, uhh yet. Been there, done that for two years. I'm using a walker in case I need some kind of assistance but presently I'm just using my hands and the walls. My home is full of non walking people today. MAMA, Mark (gout), Antonio (3 months old) and me (neuropathy). I'm still able to cook, clean and grumble. Best of all, I take a LONG break and sit at my computer for hours on end and talk story to the best ohana on the internet, hawaiithreads.com :D

What pisses me off is sitting at a bus stop bench, someone comes along and stands blocking my view of which bus is coming next.

Albert, the next time that happens, you should tell that person,that...
he/she makes a nice vew. :D

[craigwatanabe]

Boy all this pissing off makes me wanna break out the violins :D

So what about good things in life (yeah I know...BORING) but what puts a smile on your face!

For me it's when THERE IS A COP WHEN YOU NEED ONE when some jerk blows past you in the right lane and runnng that red light up ahead. Yeah baby sooooo sweet when that cop pulls em over and you smile as you drive by. What sucks is when that cop doesn't do anything because he's on his way back for shift change at 11pm or 7am!

What sucks is when you get beaten up as a kid by the Bull of the school. What's sweet is when he finds out years later that you're his boss and you constantly remind him of your tormented teen years just to keep him paranoid. Yeah braddah kicked my ass then...kiss up to it now! Ooooh revenge is so sweet.

But I'm not like that (anymore) cuz I don't want my kids becoming revengeful. Life's too short to be pissed off everyday...okay maybe once a week :rolleyes:

[kimo55]

this REALLY makes me pissed off every day:
magazines with minimal pagination.
i mean why create a table of contents at da front of da magazine if you not going have da kine between da covers?!
latest Honolulu magazine is the current perpetrator of this heinous societal threat. It's people like that whot cause unrest.
"massie case story, page 47."
OK, wheah 47!?"
I throw the issue down and break my violin in disgust. cannot find anything insai.

[1stwahine]

Craig, you made my day! Life is full of things we do and don't like. I've been pist off about so much lately, that I forgot what makes me smile. Antonio (my grandson), MAMA, old couples holding hands, and being able to get from point a to point b by myself. :)

Getting back on topic...trying to lose the weight I gained back and then some.

Mahalo,

What pisses me off is sitting at a bus stop bench, someone comes along and stands blocking my view of which bus is coming next.

Remedies:

flick yer cigarette ashes in his/her hair.
push them in front of the bus.
set em on fire.
Throw THEM down on the bench, sit on their face.
spraypaint grafitti on THEM instead of the bus.
pee on their leg, tell 'em it's raining.
stick a taco in their shorts then give em a wedgie.
dance the Haka on them.

rolling on da floor...applause,applause
taking a bow. (everybody smiling) ;)

Update: 12:18 pm. Kaiser just called. Neurologist wants to see me tomarrow. Hmmm...usually it takes several months to see my neurologist. Could it be. Nah, nothing wrong with me. Only in my mind. Then again why this pain. This tops everything that i'm pist off at. Craig, Miulang, Bro Kimo, Serenity...make me laugh. Somebody calm me down! :confused:

[craigwatanabe]

You know when a neurologist tells you the problem is all in your head...I think he's being very literal about it. :D

But anyway...go see or rent the movie Kill Bill 2 if you want to laugh in ways we know you can! That was a great movie! It's a great chic flick. :)

[kimo55]

nuther thing that pisses me off the cliff:

"the insidious product machine monster" (merchandisers, advertisers, manufacturers, all) and their hold on the american consumer mass mind:

We have been brainwashed into consuming at every level:
Don't feel good about yerself?
Go shopping!

wanna prove yerself to be a good housekeeper?
Use a plasticbag can and wastbasket liner each and every time!
(hate this one; it just adds to the landfill. And this plastic stays with "us" for 700 years! So, chucko; do ya feel good about leaving yer crap for future generations to handle?!)

etc. etc.
i gotta go.

It's a necessary evil where I work (HMSA), thanks to a nice little law called HIPAA. I don't mind putting that there (I also have one similar on my personal email account), but when your signature ends up being 20 lines long attached to a one-line message... :mad:

I read your post and started counting my email address. I'm guilty, I have twenty-one. I'm excused cause I'm Nuts ! ;)

I usally don't leave one liners anyways. Infact the emails I send out get to long, especially when I'm manic and that's almost always 24/7. :)

By the way, I wish I stayed with HMSA. Kaiser Permanente is junk. tell your bosses if they need somebody real good for a commercial. nah, joke......

Pigs! The wild boar variety that tears up the grass and wild turkeys that pecks at the cars

...until I read the thread about over development on Oahu (I assume they were talking about Oahu).

Hmmm, make that the evening news that only covers Honolulu news. Like they are the center of the Universe, man.

CNN, FOX News, MSNBC, CNBC, ABC, NBC & CBS News and their: 'like a dog with a bone' mentality. Like we are all Catholic Jacko/royal family junkies.
:(

[craigwatanabe]

YEAH BABY I'M GLAD SOMEONE FINALLY SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THAT!

Moving to the Big Island made me realize that yes Honolulu is the center of the universe! Geez the outer islands are part of the state of Hawaii too so I wish the weather reporters would do some indepth weather tracking for the entire islands and not just poor Oahu.
:mad:

[1stwahine]

Having to depend on others who are late, make excuses not to come, can't clean up and can't cook. I'm not going to let them control me. I'm not going to get angry, yeah right.

Oh, well. I ventilated. Got to do what I have to do. In pain, slower, wobbling but at least I'm not depending on anybody. :confused:

[adrian]

- When people talk about other things not related to the topic (hard to find information you're looking for.)
- Nextel users who use the PTT and speakerphone function of their phone when the converstation (or any converstation) is personal and/or annoying
- People who play their music to the high heaven with a annoying (or bad) song playing
- Loud cell phones in a quiet place
- People waking me up on my morning bus ride to ask for the time.

People who sleep on da bus and den complain wen dey wake up around da island on da odda side den remark how wonderful da bus stay ova one ka (das car for you unedumakated buggahs) AND DEN dey get one nerve to ask me fo take dem grocery shopping at Costco because dey no mo ka for drive all da stuff back to da hale! Wassup wit dat? An den dey no pay for da gas! Ho boy catch me again!

But Adrian, I no stay talking about you :D

[Moto]

Another thing that pisses me off is when (especially late at night) I am watching a program on TV and have the volume up so I can hear the program, but not loud enough to disturb others in the house sleeping or the neighbors through the thin walls. Then a commercial comes one with it's volume many decibles louder than the program you're watching and got to scramble for the remote to lower the volume. That is totally irritating.

[craigwatanabe]

Imagine the buggah das trying fo sleep!

Hey Craig, I finally got to watch Kill Bill 2. I didn't like it, I thought it was stupid, etc. etc. etc. Why would anyone consider it a great chic flick? Just because the lady kills? :eek: I'm romantic and brutal the same time.heheheheheh

Damaging, very damaging when I was much younger and can walk not wobble.

Hypocrites who bitch about something, and then go ahead and participate in the very same activity that they were bitching about.

Haha that's so true! I don't have patience for people who can't talk on the cell and drive decently at the same time. But just the other day, I took a call while waiting to turn at an intersection and the turn light must have been green for awhile because people were beeping and only I and another car got through the intersection. It's that kinda stuff that makes me realize that I should chill more while driving.

[craigwatanabe]

Oh yeah! Palolo Joe said it right, in another post (the one on Augie T) basically: It takes one to know one! Right on Palolo Joe, you put everyone in their rightful place (including mine).

So we should all chill and look at the mirror before pointing an accusing finger at the rest of the world because the biggest hypocrite is staring right back at you! Geez I'm ugly! :D

[1stwahine]

goodness gracious, did i get dat fat? ok, ok, i'm looking myself in the mirror and i see a pauper, a pirate, a bitch, and i know one thing...been a hyprocrite too. next time i grumble at something, i'll remember this thread that made me humble even if it's for a mere second.

have a great and beautiful day everyone!

auntie lynn aka auntie pupule ;)

[craigwatanabe]

So what is a hypocrite who admits being a hypocrite? Or a liar who tells everyone he's a liar? Hmmm kinda makes you wonder... :confused:

[1stwahine]

Craig, don't make it more confusing as it is. I'm bi-polar. I am guilty of being a hyprocrite in a fun kind of way. I am not a liar. I tell too much of the truth most of the times. Don't know when to shut up for my own good. Often times my truthfullness could have cost me my life but I still told the truth. It is when I will shut up for good that will worry my family. Take a look at my Blogg from start to finish and see what kind of truth I"m talking about. I don't have awards or seek certificates or recognition of any kind...I'm a fighter for those who can't fight.

Eh, first you make me laugh and then you get me all wriled up! Just like one husband. nah, joke. thanks again craig! ;)

[kimo55]

I tell too much of the truth most of the times.


aunty, it is NOT telling the truth. It is divulging too many observed details.
To NOT divulge personal body function minutiae, would not be NOT telling the truth. It would not be considered "lying".

...here's a direct, exact example:
One day was hanging at Don Ho's bar.
One wahine and her two cute keiki where there. We were talking story when out of the blue, one o da lil girls blurted out;
"Eh. Uncle! You got one BEEEG opu!"

That stopped the conversation briefly. I just grinned at her.
Her Mom said: "Oh kealani, you are too truthful!"

I said, "No, it is not being too truthful. That is called indiscretion.
Never chastise a child for telling the truth. But do caution them for blurting out each and every lil thing that goes floating past their brain"

But ya know, 'out of the mouths of babes'.

One may always expect to have problems while evading reponsibility:
"Eh. You MAKE me laugh. you MAKE me riled up. YOU got me in trouble"
"Well, no blame me. I was taught to always tell the truth." "that is who i am and not goin change for any standards."



oh and yes, I bought freeweights for use at home and joined the gym.

[1stwahine]

Bro Kimo, I only know how to divulge too many details. That's who I am. As for my bodily function minutiae, heheheheh...I no lie about that too.

you bought "free weights"? You joined the gym? Which one? I like come cheer you on, honest! ;)

[kimo55]

[kimo55]

"What pisses you off?" ??

funny you should ask.
I have never submitted anything to this query, but may as well do it now:


dimwitted non thinking idiots behind the counter at fastfood joints and even semi upscale restaurants.


first eg;
taco bell
kapahulu
"'yes, i would like two tacos and beans and rice, please."

well, that's not what it's called.
It is called;

"blanketyblank, ickeybooteybettybop, whakka whakka etcetera this that and the other kine stuffs"
oh and its not one order. it's two."

THAT is what i get. Verbally. Nothing else.
oh.
blank stare too.
very appetizing.


what da hell did I walk into; a fast food joint?!
or the argument clinic!?


"yes, i'm here for an arguement."
"NO yer NOT!"


"Hi. I'm hungry. I would like a taco."
"No yer not! and No you DON'T!"

***


ok.
so yer in a joint yer at alla tijme.
You by now, know it takes a letter from the Governor to actually receive a requested second drink, cuz we all know, good service ends after you receive your food and the first drink.

So. I siddown.
Ax da wahine, "I would like THREE heinekens, ONE after the other, here, for me tonite."
"With my dinner."

ok.
What part of the foregoing would anyone NOT completely comprehend in a logical, adult fashion!?

So.
a couple minutes later. BEFORE any puupuus or dinner.
I receive THREE beers at my place setting.
all at once.
Jayzeus Kee Rist!


(maybe that is where road rage originates?!)

[craigwatanabe]

Auwe Kimo they did give to you one after another. They put one bottle down then another, then another. You see what you didn't say was, "When I'm finished with one I'd like another. :D

[kimo55]

Auwe Kimo they did give to you one after another. They put one bottle down then another, then another. You see what you didn't say was, "When I'm finished with one I'd like another. :D



actually, she grabbed em all in one hand, settum all down same time!
"When I'm finished with one I'd like another."

oh and that was another pet peeve of mine. You go into, say, Zippy's.
knowing full well, that they also are much of the time, very slow on anything after the first drop, I asked exactly that, matter of fact:
I would like 3 heinies, each one, as soon as I am low on the other.
I do this cuz, as i say, they are vveeerryyyy sssllloooowwww in bringing a second drink, and sometimes we don't see them for quite a while.
This still doesn't work. I haveta shake the empty bottle distreetly in their line of vision, and even that don't do it. They STILL come over and ask, "ya want the third one now?!"
the point is to discretely take care of my thirst needs. NOT to bring attention to the fact: "Whaaat!?, ya want aNUHther beer!?"
disctretion and expediency is not known in the restaurant industry...

[Miulang]

Das part of da problem nowadays...everybody takes everyting literally...dey cannot tell da nuances of da language. Eida dat, or dey stay on autopilot and not tinking at all! (I mean, come on...you see one guy sit down at the table and order 3 beers...what was the server thinking? That 2 other guys were going to show up at Kimo's table and watch him eat while they just downed their beer?)...sheesh.

yea. and this, at a Hawaii kai restaurant I am at with a friend and associate. So the two of us are their about 4 times a month. And they know what we eat. Sometimes we nevah spok da menu.

and they know what i drink. and how much, and how soon.
"howzit. da usual."
is what we say sometimes.If get ahi, thats the usual.
and I always get three drinks. I don't want ONE drink. I want three through the dinner. (I'm a big guy) so, if I don't whip up a big engraved iinvitation in neon hanging above the table, I end up with only one beer all nite. same place that requires us to repeatedly request the check when pau.
ya just should not need to do this!

[craigwatanabe]

If they know all about you at that establishment and they still serve you that way, they probably already realize you're not going to be a generous tipper so why bother.

I treat all wait help with a level of gratitude for doing such an ungrateful job of serving another human being. Some customers can be so obnoxious in their demands for service and that pisses me off (getting back on topic)

[kimo55]

Craig, your assumptions are leaning in a decidedly negative direction, fer sum reason...
We tip 15% always. And this adds up quick when the bill for dinner for two is about 70 to 80 bucks.
No, they get our money.
and frequently.


Some customers can be so obnoxious in their demands for service


an exception here. this is a fave restaurant and they are nice folks. I am diplomacy personified.

[Serenity]

Sorry to change the subject there...
but, after all, this a "What pisses you off" thread/post.

So, I do have something I want to get off my chest, so to speak. ;)

I have a neighbor down a ways from me. They went on a vacation,
but thay had someone watch over their (old) dog while they were gone.
So, I got up early in the morning to use the restroom, & the darn dog, just kept yapping for godknows how long. Practically disturbed & disrupted the whole neighborhood around me. The person who was babysitting the darn dog, simply just didn't care & didn't do anything about it. I called the police dept, but they said that don't do animal control any more. :mad: They have to refer you to the Humane Society. Like they would do anything about it. :rolleyes: I thought about shooting the darn thing, but unfortunately I don't carry guns. I heard from another neighbor that, he almost wanted to do the same thing. LOL. Well eventually later time, the darn dog shut up. Didn't know if the dog got tired of barking, or someone brought him/her in finally.Didn't want to go outside to peek, in fear of starting the dog all over again. That darn dog is way tooo old already, & the family should just put it out of its misery. :rolleyes:
They use to have a Loud chirping bird, that chirps too early in the morning.
(sounds really do carry around here where we live.)
I'm glad the bird is gone.he he he he!.

[craigwatanabe]

Ok, I'll be a good sport about it.

Thanks for posting & trying to reply.

P.S. Yes, I do have heard of "paragragraphs", & infact, I did have an A+ grade average
(& passed it) in my english class, when I took Lib. Arts. I wasn't really concerned about "paragraphs" at that point in time, Like Miulang said (which is true), atleast I'm posting my thoughts here, unlike some others who don't.

BTW- Since we are not in englsih class, no body
should be concerned about how others type their thoughts here, anyway. :cool:

Well, you take care.

It's called "stream of consciousness writing" and that's perfectly OK. At least she's posting her thoughts, not like a lot of people who are shy and afraid to post anything.

Miulang


yeah yeah :D whatever...but you need paragraphs to create ebb tides instead of one big tsunami of a thought :eek:

Me I like to break up my thoughts so I can step back and see my ramblings before I get pounded on by my good buddy Miulang. And everyone here knows I ramble on and on and on...well you get the picture.

Paragraphs.

Yes paragraphs.

It makes a statement.

Wow it even looks terraced!

Nevermind just keep on streaming your concious writings and be happy :)

[poi cocktail :)]

I try not to get angry but:

A:when no more poi, checking daily can be heartbreaking :mad: :confused:


''''' <- extra apostrophes for anyone need um :D

[craigwatanabe]

Poi you can have my serving...taste like recycled newspaper to me. Somebody had to be desperately hungry to eat that stuff and like it! :)

[Glen Miyashiro]

Dass cuz you eatin um too fresh, brah. You gotta let um ferment first. Wait till stay all white and bubbly and sour -- garans, no gon taste like newspepa then! :D

[poi cocktail :)]

two ladies at Times was concerned too no more poi today. the only kind available lately is the twice as expensive refrigerator kind from Kauai, no more poi baggies. I'm down to my last tub but store deliveries supposed to be M-W-F. I guess like cigars, whiskies, etc. these things are acquired tastes or you just don't like it.

[Miulang]

You know, if you really ono for poi and no moa, you can make 'em! Easy kine. Just go one Chinese market and find dakine taro root (Gotta be dakine big taro root, not da manini kine Japanese taro). Boil 'em long time in water (change da water at least 2 times so you get rid of da calcium oxalate crystals that make your tongue and throat all scratchy). When da taro root stay all soft, peel 'em and mash 'em up (I use one of dose "stick" blenders because moa easy den pound da taro like old days).

Going be thick, but you can add water so come da right texture. Keep da extra in da ice box. As long as you keep 'em in da ice box, going take long time foa get sour. If you like sour kine poi, leave da fresh poi on da counter for one day. Guarans going taste like dakine fresh kine you get in da plastic bag.

Eh Craig, if was good enough for da kanaka maoli, den good enough foa you! :D Kalo (poi) and 'uala (sweet potato) were the two most important staples of the kanaka maoli diet. Poi is very nutritious...has lots of carbohydrates but it's so pure that babies who are allergic to cow's milk thrive on the stuff. Plus, the kanaka maoli used every part of the kalo plant, nothing went to waste.

Miulang

[craigwatanabe]

Eh but da Kanaka Maoli had to eat um because das all dey had except for fish.

The rest went to the Ali'i. With all the fresh fish and fruit bearing plants wherever the Hawaiians immigrated from I can't imagine why anyone would dig up a plant, beat the heck out of it's root and attempt to eat it when you have the ingredients for making some killer Poke all around you!

Sorry I think someone had to be starving to acquire the taste of poi. Same goes for Natto! Das as bad as poi...no...moa worser! :eek: Dat taste like Mastik...the stuff you stick floor tile onto da floor.

I'll stick to processed food and die from heart failure. :(

I get pissed off that moment after the door goes click when just a few micro nano seconds before the click you realized that your keys are in the ignition.

Going on the vein of "whoever was the first person to eat that was crazy"... I always wondered about that in regard to the organic hallucinogenic "magic mushrooms"... being that it grows on cowsh!t.

No "sh!t"?!. :eek: :D

Yuck!.

I know what you mean, about that!.
That would really suck & would be a bummer that your keys would be inside the car after the door have been closed, & realized later where it was. :(

My hubby has one of those electronic push button lock, so incase he does forget his keys inside the car, he can always open it up again. ;)

I hope you can have an electronic push button lock built in your car.
That would be so cool!.

How about, the worse case ever!. You park your car, to play a game of basketball. Later to find out that your window has been bashed in or broken into!. :mad: That cost a bundle to just have it fixed!. Grrrr!. That happened to us, one fine day looong time ago. I'm thankful to God that it didn't happen to us more than once. Whew!. Thank God!.

Well, hope you can get it(electronic lock) instaled in your car for safety sake.

Aloha. :)

[poi cocktail :)]

why poi, maybe because it traveled and kept well, transplantable and plentiful day/night, etc.? miulang, mahalo for the info someday I like learn how to pound poi with the stone. :D

ok one 'nada pet peeve. big rage nowadays on bamboo flooring all the ads say renewable sources! what the difference if they keep chopping down and selling all the other ones anyways :confused: and keep making the plastic look alikes too! next thing you know people painting bamboo on. fwiw I like bamboo flooring though. :o

People who take the last piece of inari at a sushi buffet, like at Todai, just to deny me.

To the guy who kakaroached that last piece of inari at Todai last December..yeah, you..you know who you are..the one with the Kahuku Raid Raider knit sweater on...you know darned good and well I wanted that piece of inari.

I know you did. It was bad enough that you had no shame in overfilling your plate with Cali rolls, peel shrimp, and all the other coveted items patrons love at Todai. But you had to go one step further and take that last piece of inari just to spite me, when you know, with my empty plate in hand, I was headed in the direction of it, with my heart set on it. I saw the smug look on your face as you snapped it up, and that quick glance you gave to me telling me "Ha ha!! I beat you to it, sucker!"

Well, Kahuku fan, I hope you enjoyed that last piece of inari..assuming you ate it. For all I know, just to rub salt in my wound, you may not have even eaten it. Whether you ate it or not, I suppose it was worth taking..just to give you the pleasure of denying me.

I hope you sleep well at night...do you find the latent guilt that sometimes manifests itself into your consciousness overwhelming at the midnight hour?? ;) ;)

[cezanne]

Whoa! I would be pissed too!

GO CASTLE KNIGHTS! :D

[Fondoo2]

Big city folk! They would rather ignore there nieghbors than say hello.To go to the store,coffee shop even strolling your baby thru the park you feel so alone with so many city folk all around.Thank goodness I have lived in a couple small towns to know better than accept this behavior as inascapable.I'm so outta here!!
Any business I start in Hawaii I just have to make sure I don't get stuck working with big city folk all day,wouldn't that bite!

When people use labels and catchphrases instead of discussing things intelligently and without prejudice (or at least trying to). And yeah, I do it, too.

Such as ... Liberal. Republican. Christian. Muslim. Haole. Extremist. Redneck. The media. Leftist. Right-wing. Elitist. Jarhead. Tree hugger.

[shaveice]

haven't been following this thread but had a few minutes to take a glance and it's pretty funny. my list? way too long to mention all of them but the ones that come to my mind now: drivers who don't signal when they're at a red light at an intersection but do turn on their signals AFTER the light turns green, drivers who go 5 mph in the far left lane on the freeway, cyclists on mountain bikes who go full throttle on sidewalks and won't move onto the grass (oh, might make their tires dirty) when there's a pedestrian on the sidewalk, drivers who wait for 5 minutes to get a parking spot while backing up traffic behind them, long lines, rebates, red tape, etc. ! i used to be way more mellow but i think i'm getting crankier as i get older... :confused:

I think alot of people use labels and asume we all know that there are different types and degries and even folks that the topic would not apply to at all but just have tired of writing a big disclaimer on the use of a label.
I bag on white people and christians all the time and I'm both of those.The label focas's on the negetive well known aspects of the group but we all know there are all kinds found inside

I hate when I approach a crosswalk, and whoever is already waiting hasn't pushed the damn cross button...

... so I push the button myself and we end up having to wait another interval of traffic lights before we get to cross :mad:

Yeah, I don't get that, too!. :confused: :mad:

The person standing there, haven't even pushed the button yet, & just standing there & waiting. Waiting for what?!. Chistmas?. Sheesh!. :rolleyes:

Push that dang button,already ,for haven's sakes!. Sheesh!.

[Palolo Joe]

i thought there were some streetlights in town that didn't even acknowledge a pedestrian pushing the button. The timing of the signals always stays the same.

Maybe it was the mainland? I don't know.

No, when you're approaching a crosswalk with someone else waiting in the same direction you're about to cross and you see them press the other button that signals the crosswalk perpendicular to the one you'll about to cross. What killer is that if you missed the light, the other person start to go off about how the traffic lights are broken and keep on pressing the wrong button, even though it clearly shows the direction it'll operate.

[Surfingfarmboy]

So you it was you! Tell me..did you eat it or just take it to spite me.. :D

[Fondoo2]

well I noticed that sweaty eyed stare you were giving the inari and felt inclined to take it for your own good.As for me I developed a masive case of food poisoning later that night and only barely survived and sometimes think was it the inari?

and the hawaiian flag cuz it looks british


Incidentally, the Hawaii state flag was designed by Kamehameha I.

[MadAzza]

Incidentally, the Hawaii state flag was designed by Kamehameha I.

I should add, it wasn't the *state* flag back then!

[kimo55]

It was created about 1816 and recomissioned in 1845.
The eight alternating white, red and blue stripes represent the eight major islands of Hawaii. The Union Jack represents Hawaii's breif historical relationship with Great Britian as its protectorate. It also represents a stylized puela; a long banner or tapa strip, or a triangular standard laying across two crossed spears called an alia, which is a symbol of kapu; do not approach, or sign off alii; two crossed spears with one upright spear in the cneter, the general symbol of the Ali'i Nui of Hawaii.
