things that annoy me (this week)

1. Swimsuits that, completely out of the blue, decide their life is over. Kind of like speedo hari kari. Resulting in a strange blobby mess that only resembles the swimsuit you once wore, in color.

2. Solicitors that ignore the TWO "no soliciting" signs on your door.  Who get uptight when you calmly point to the signs and say, "We don't accept solicitors."  Who insist they're registered with the city so they can annoy you solicit.  And when you say, "I don't care who you're registered with, we don't accept solicitors," they stomp away in a huff.

3. Ignorant* people who, while attending your neighbors pool party, park in YOUR driveway.  Then when they see your entire family come out of the house to play basketball ON YOUR driveway, they titter sheepishly and say, "Oh, well I just have to help take down a canopy, so I'll move my car in five minutes."  Forcing your family to play PIG** at one hoop because their car is directly under the other hoop.  Twenty minutes later they say, "Ha ha, I guess it took more than five minutes!" but they still don't move the car. Finally THIRTY minutes later they move the car.

4. People who TP'd our front yard, but no one else on the street.  Have we annoyed someone? Was this a random hit?  Is this payback for a couple of TP expeditions I made as a teen?

5. Weeds.

6. Trash collectors that say they're coming at 7am, but really they come at 6:55am.......

*It was a stretch to come up with this word, lots of other words seemed better suited.....but I'm too much of a lady to admit any of them!.
** We play PIG instead of HORSE.  (It's quicker.)
