People with babies are smug too. Everyone is smug.

Jonathan Lopez | 4726 comments Even the babies?

I wish babies would wipe those smug looks off their faces.

I've never seen a smug crustacean before. I'm in awe!

Félix (habitseven) One thing that bugs me is when I'm walking down the street and someone comes up and smugs me.


message 312: by [deleted user] (new)

I wouldn't mind a good smugging.

Smugging ≠ snuggling.


message 314: by [deleted user] (new)

Ahhhh well you could be right I just ran it by the Urban dictionary. It isn't a term I've heard before. It sounded like it would be a fun thing...and it might be for Larry.


message 315: by Janice (new)

Janice (jamasc) Close encounters of the smugging kind...

Big pharmaceutical company bashers. You can bash them all you like, but all the tears Liz Taylor shed, all of the wisdom of the Orient, all the quilts strewn across the National Mall in front of the Capitol, and all of your coffee enemas and holistic healers couldn’t replace a couple of hits of AZT.

They started out in Kalamazoo, about a 2-1/2 hour drive due west, and long since chopped up, merged, and parceled out. I think there is some sort of merger with Pfizer in there somewhere.

I'm still trying to process the oddness of #398-399.


message 322: by [deleted user] (new)

Congratulations. I read it, went blank, then moved on.

Can you just explain what a "couple hits of AZT" is to me then, you two?

Two doses of the HIV drug azidothymidine?


message 325: by Sally, la reina (new)

Sally (mrsnolte) | 17373 comments Mod
Hm. I'm confused too now. I thought it was a cat tranquilizer or somesuch.


message 326: by Jammies (new)

Jammies Ugh, the ice cream truck in front of me yesterday had two extremely low tires on the right, so it was tilting, and the tailpipe was drooling gas-scented smoke. I thought the whole thing looked like it had had a massive stroke.

Sarah | 13814 comments Great visual, but ugh.


message 328: by Allison (new)

Allison (thebookwheel) The guy from Law & Order CI really gets under my skin.


message 329: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 13814 comments Is that Vincent D'Onofrio? That's a funny phrase considering that he spent Men in Black as creepy crawlies wearing his skin.

Sally (mrsnolte) | 17373 comments Mod
The entire concept of Law and Order (and all other violent crime television shows that seem to glamorize and trivialize violence against women as "entertainment") gets under my skin.


message 331: by Scout (new)

Scout (goodreadscomscout) | 3594 comments They create jobs, so reality shows shouldn't bother me; the fact that they're so popular does bug me.

That's funny!

What bugs me is that sometimes I get into reality shows.

Félix (habitseven) What bugs me is that sometimes Allison gets into reality shows.


message 335: by Allison (new)

Allison (thebookwheel) Haha at least we agree!


message 336: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) Sometimes.

The solution for screaming babies and toddlers in restaurants is, first, if you have them, don't go to a nice restaurant. Go to a family restaurant. Second, have dinner at 5 p.m. Don't wait until the 7 or 7:30 hour to have dinner. Let people without children eat at that hour.

I heard someone on the radio just today saying that they got a babysitter for their 4 small kids in order to have a quiet night out - and at the next table at the restaurant was a screaming baby. So the annoyed people at the restaurant might actually be parents themselves...


message 338: by Scout (new)

Scout (goodreadscomscout) | 3594 comments ... who are paying for a romantic night out.

I do think that restaurant owners should have the right to create an ambience that complements the food and services they provide.

Yep. When the twins were about 18 months old, they laid complete waste to Szechuan Empire without ever leaving their high chairs. The manager swept up enough rice off the floor to stagger Bangladesh and was at our table so much I invited him to join us for a sake bomb.

If looks could kill...

Oh, well food on the floor is a given. No way around that. As long as they didn't pull the tablecloths off the table with all the dishes and cutlery aboard.


message 341: by Allison (last edited Jul 17, 2011 12:16PM) (new)

Allison (thebookwheel) The phrase "not excepting new members" and people who stop at yield signs

People who blow through (or roll through) stop signs. In my fantasy life I ticket every single one of these mofos.

I agree! It also bugs me when people stop when they have a green arrow.


message 344: by Cyril (new)

Cyril I am bothered by untranslated foreign language passages in books.


message 345: by Leslie (new)

Leslie | 777 comments I hate that too Cyril!! It drives me nuts.

Cynthia Paschen | 7333 comments I am annoyed that the past few days of 99 degrees plus humidity beyond belief just happened to align themselves with my onset of hot flashes.

Are hot flashes and night sweats equally annoying in the winter months?


message 347: by Allison (new)

Allison (thebookwheel) because it is using the wrong word!


message 348: by Sally, la reina (new)

Sally (mrsnolte) | 17373 comments Mod
Why did you even have to ask?!?! That sign would be Very Painful for me to endure EVERY DAY.


message 349: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) It would be good therapy.

Scout (goodreadscomscout) | 3594 comments Trash on the ground, but especially on the beach.
