Ha! lol I just saw that in last night's episode of BILLIONS. The character's a jackass so I was not surprised. Then I wondered if it was written that way or if the actor made the I'm a disgusting pig! choice on his own. Either way … ick!!

If you keep a watchful eye out you'll also notice scenes in Law & Order, The Sopranos, and many others!

Sometimes, l felt that way about NYPD Blue's character "Sipowitz."

People who tell you everything else they know about a subject because they don't know the answer to the question you actually asked.

I'm not a fan of the adjectives "nice" and "special" or better still, "so special".
Then again, I'm not a fan of folks who say "i'm not a fan of....to explain why they bought their way out of serving during the Viet Nam War.

Commanders -N- Chiefs who sail in a US Navy ship needing another US ship to cover it's identity when sailing past her in foreign waters due to a disagreement with one of a distinguished line of heroes with that name.

Same person, standing in front of WWII hero graves in Normandy France, dissing Congressional Leaders during a speech meant to honor the heroes who were killed to preserve our freedom from tyranny.

Given that a lot of cis men consider their penises a God-given right, I'd be surprised if many of them consider washing their hands at any time... kinda like washing their hands after touching a statue of Jesus.

I never shake hands with men: whether they be 2 or 100 ( especially if they are 100, lol ). It can get awkward if the proffered hand is out there hanging limply but really, I refuse to be bullied into an apologetic or explanatory stance. "I don't want to shake hands; nothing personal. I just don't want to."

Not good enough? Bring me your"sanitary" hand-wash kit, a paper towel and
then we'll talk .

I'm a big handshaker; however, once the person's back is turned, out quick comes the hand sanitizer. Can't break my habit of character judgement based on eye contact and the quality of a person's handshake for anything. I've tried.

I agree re: men's cleanliness but I actually had an opposite peeve with this Manager years back. All management was expected to arrive early in order to greet associates when they came into work. This bozo would come in every morning and greet all the male Supervisors with a handshake but all the female Supervisors got was good morning. Me... being me...

... 'round about the third week, I stuck my hand out hand as I greeted him. I know he was a little embarrassed at first but within a week ... he was shaking the hands of all of his Supervisors.

Side note... that was in Calif and the bozo was from Texas. This incident, his behavior, made me think (again) just how much the South must suck. Cut to today... years later... guess where yours truly now lives?! God's got one hell of a sense of humor!

lol

People who don't realize that a conversation is about talking and LISTENING. Lately it feels like I'm around a lot of people who think a conversation is another word for captive audience. If you are going to go on and on and on please at least be interesting. Then I can applaud when the performance is over. (Yeah just a little bitchy.)

Amulette · 06-26-2019, 04:08 PM

On a lighter note, when I do my "may the perfect parking place be open chant" on my way somewhere then getting to watch another car right in front of me pull into my place. They never even thank me for all my chanting. Ha Ha Ha (Actually, it works 80% of the time)

Opening a bag of chips and finding them all smashed and broken!
