the county i grew up in had, at the time, the second highest rate of meth lab busts in the country. the highest rate was in the adjacent county.

i have seen many people with holes in their teeth

I guess my days of imagining meth people shooting up are over? And I guess that splains the teeth, eh.
cp

a cp is a special kind of xp that is used for meth teeth

*nods* i already knew that about cp, of course, because of my meth county upbringing, but i'm nodding to let others know that i already knew

It is why that 'popular meth television show' was originally called Breacing Bap

also, the popular korean food, bibimbap (the c is silent and also doesn't appear in the word)

People shoot it, too, but not as much as they snort or smoke it (but probably more often than they ingest it via "booty bumps"). Shooting is - commonly referred to as "slamming" - apparently the sweetest high, but needles are harder to come by than pipes or the simple process of inhalation.

I am not from Meth Country (the county I lived in in NC is known for growing the finest w33d in the Southeast) but the gays love their meth, so I learned a thing or too. (Note: I do not love the meth, and I never have.)

I got this new cardigan which I thought I loved but today I am wearing it open on top of a black tank top and it's started to shed and now I have little yellow balls of fluff all over me and I no longer think I love this cardigan. It is an annoyance.

when the cable company calls you and tells you that you're getting 6 crappy movie channels (NOT hbo, showtime, or cinemax) as a GIFT! only you have to pay for them if you don't cancel! so you have to call them, spend half an hour going through the automated operator, then ahhh kill me

Our digital phone service went out the other night, so I got online and chatted with a Comcast rep. Finally got down to him saying that we needed a service guy to come out, but only my wife could authorize that since only her name is on the account.

His suggestion was for me to call this toll-free number and have my name added to the account. Of course, I couldn't do that because MY PHONE WASN'T WORKING.

We finally got everything straight (I started another chat session as my wife, telling the rep how great my husband is) and she said the service guy would call sunny's cellphone 15 minutes before he got to the house.

TAKE A WILD GUESS WHAT NUMBER HE CALLED INSTEAD.

Classic absent minded professor asks me to put his presentations on the website but NEVER GIVES ME THE INFORMATION I NEED TO DO IT. Replies with requests for more information go unanswered.

Once, he sent me an email weeks later asking why something was not yet up on the website. Rather than writing back BECAUSE YOU NEVER RESPONDED TO MY EMAILS ASKING FOR INFORMATION, I simply had to politely reiterate the information I needed.

Just now he replied to my email requesting more information WITH THE EXACT SAME INFORMATION AS BEFORE.

No one ever, EVER listens to music in my office without headphones on, so why the hell does "War Is Over Merry X-mas" have to be the exception?

I'm all about forming a "zipper" formation during heavy traffic, where cars leave enough space in front of them for other lanes to merge with ease, thereby keeping the flow of traffic cruising smoothly instead of stop-and-starting.

But you see, the key to that sentence is in the final part, the "cruising smoothly instead of stop-and-starting" part. When you're constantly braking to let folks in, EVERYBODY IN, then the cars 25 spaces behind us sit for as long as that chain reaction of brakes takes place and you're actually causing more delays than deleting them.

People who, when you are standing in a crowd and they want to get past, bodily grasp you as though they are an old friend, or they just want to physically lift you out of the way. DON'T TOUCH ME! I would rather you gently shouldered me out of the way than put your geezer hands all over me.

Yeah, that NYE movie--such a huge cast, and not one that isn't irritating

1. Per the inaugural post to this thread, my coworker said she does not like Italian food because she doesn't like cheese, and her limited understanding of the foods people in Italy eat is an annoyance.

2. My boss was warming into a "why I say MERRY CHRISTMAS instead of HAPPY HOLIDAYS" rant, which was going to necessitate me telling him I don't celebrate "Christmas" because I don't believe in "Christ," which was going to BLOW HIS MIND because he is Catholic and assumes that everybody else is (or wishes they were), and I'm not even exaggerating the level of his presumption on the matter. But luckily he hurt himself putting his coat on and dropped the subject. Annoyance averted.
