Well, we've got a discussion on things that make us smile. Let's get one going on things that make us spit acid saliva and cause nervous ticks. Some of mine: 1) Those annoying perferations for cereal-box tabs that always rip whenever you try to pop them open. 2) Drivers who change lanes right in front of you for no apparent reason only to slow their speed by a factor of 10. 3) Getting into your car, starting the enigine, and getting really comforatble in the seat only to realize that you forgot something important in the house and now you have to turn the car off, go open the lock, walk UPSTAIRS and get it. 4) Going upstairs after experiencing #3 (above) only to realize that the very thing you've come in for has been on your head or in your pocket the whole time. 5) Coming home to find that your dog took the trash out...of your trash cans, and carefully placed every piece of garbage in strategic locations throughout the room. 6) Typing a long and utterly genius-like email in Hotmail only to have IE crash when you hit the "Send" button. 7) CD players that sk ip every five se conds for no freaki ng reason. The list goes on. Anyone else? =) --Fimchick

...5) Coming home to find that your dog took the trash out...of your trash cans, and carefully placed every piece of garbage in strategic locations throughout the room. Actually, this makes me smile.... Sorry... A voobshe, konechno, bezobrazie. Alina Mihalna

Fima, right on w/ #3, 4, & 6!!!!! 6 happens all the time! Just happened to me a few minutes ago. :/ Also - being on hold w/ "helpful representatives" for 20 minutes, then they transfer you to someone else, promising direct connection.. and ...oops! they accidentally hung up on you.. So you're back where you started from..

I would also add "changing lanes without putting the blinker on"

- when weather people promise a perfect sunny day and it rains - when they confiscate your manicure scissors at the airport when you go through security :) - when a really slow car on a one-lane road that's been driving you crazy makes it thru a traffic light, and you get stuck on red Uf, feeling much better now

Switching between radio stations and hearing the same annoying song playing on 3 of the 4 "good" ones (while the other one plays commercials). Falling asleep while studying and then having to wake from my lovely slumber to brush my teeth. Having a freak of a teammate hand in the team report when it was agreed that someone else would turn it in, and then having the wrong report counted for the group's grade. (this is my favorite one) ;) --Fimchick

- Независимость - это когда в 20-й раз наступаешь на одни и те же грабли, а русские уже ни при чем....

When a person STOPS on a keep moving lane and stays there untill all the cars have passed by. When u have the best dream of your life, and something wakes you up and u cant fall asleep again.

Don't frown because something bad occured smile because it happened

- Независимость - это когда в 20-й раз наступаешь на одни и те же грабли, а русские уже ни при чем....

- When another player who is playing a defensive position just like you sees that you are a girl and without knowing anything else about you assumes that for the rest of the game he is going to be telling you what to do - When somebody tells you to run at the person with the ball when really the best thing to do is to stand infront of them and not let them pass just because most girls usually run at the ball and that's how they expected you to play. - When there is a girl forward playing opposite you and the other players tell you that for the rest of the game your job is not to be a defensive player but to run after the girl and make sure she does not get to play at all (and you dont either) - In general when people pretend like what they are telling you is going to help you play better when in reality they would want you to keep being sucky so that they can feel better about themselves being much better then you - Having every goal scored by a girl count as two goals (because i think this is condescending) - Also, when they then get angry at you whenever the other girl ever even touches the ball even though she doesnt have a shot and then loses it or when you dont run at the other player even though the player doesnt get through and they try to explain to you the concept of "pressure" and "position". Thank you Fimchick
