Try this plastic wrap: http://www.alcoa.com/reynoldskitchen...7&prod_id=1796

This invention has saved me from many a plastic wrap temper tantrum.
It costs a little more but it takes me ages to use an entire box so why not?

It's the law in your state too. Quoted from the Tennessee Driver's Manual:


A lot of people don't realize this though. I didn't until a couple of years ago. And of course this doesn't excuse them for just pulling out in front of you like they own the road. How rude.
Yes! They are rude! And i definitely know what you mean by getting run over by bikers on the sidewalk- i used to run out in Cordova (a tiny city incorporated by memphis) a lot....and on the areas alloted for runners, the bikers would maul me over...Now they were supposed to be on the sidewalk in that area- but they could have at least been courteous and yelled "sidewalk" or "excuse me".
In Bartlett, they are supposed to ride on the sidewalk
. In Germantown they are supposed to ride on the street, but move over for traffic (both are cities outside of memphis. literally,just down the road). The Tennessee Drivers Manual isn't enforced in each part of TN.Memphis cops have begun issuing heavy amounts of citations for j-walkers and cycilists who do not yield to cars with the right of way
(My boyfriend's a Bartlett cop, i get all of the juicy stories). Each city is allowed to pass their own ordinances. It's gotten soo bad about bikes pulling out into rush hour trafic that some people recieve citations. It really scares me, i'm always afraid i'll hit some idiot who thinks their Huffy can go as fast as my Mercury
. So while the manuel is there to serve as a state guideline....it is enforced differently throughout each city in TN usually, than as a TN state standard.

I suffer from this a little bit too- but not to that extreme! I have a hard time with pasta & potato salads... all the nice squishy noodles and soft potatos and then BAM crunchy veggies?! I don't think so- I pick them all out!

As for the coins on top of the money... technically when you count back change you start with the coins then go on to the paper money which cashiers would have to do if they didn't have a big huge calculator/register telling them how much money to give you back.

It just makes it awkward for you to hold on to your money while you're trying to put it away, especially in the drive-thru! Sometimes if the cashier is snotty or if I'm in the right mood I will just let the change slide off and give them a look like this is your fault!
Evil, yes- but do I care? No!

It's the cashiers for me!
Yeah, I'm superwoman, I can pick up my shopping, put my change away, put my purse in my bag, all in a split second!
And why do they give you a dirty look when you say you don't want a receipt for a 25p purchase!

Oh, yes! I forgot about this one... I get nauseous if I am biting into something like a burger and it goes "crunch." *gag*
For some reason pickles don't bother me, but if it's something like diced onions in there, ugh... I think that's why I don't like onions in general-- the crunch. I like the taste of onions but I don't like pieces of onions. Another example of this would be onion dip. I love dip but when I made it from packaged mix I strain out the onion pieces so the dip is smooth... No gross little crunchy things.

people on bikes in san francisco - because there was this big thing about bike riders rights, and theyre demanding their rights, which is fine-but ive yet to see a bike rider follow theh rules of the road! they run red lights CONSTANTLY, turn where theres no turn-they basically do whatever the hell they want. it really irritates me.

when you get your change and tdhey just put iton the counter instead of putting it in your hand-especially if you're busy or theres a long line in back of you-wouldnt it be faster to just put it in my hand? when they put it on the counter im left scrabbling for nickles and dimes and it takes forever and just...grrr. how hard is it to just drop it in my hand? you dont even have to touch this person, just drop it there.

ppl who dont take care of their animals, and instead come on the board and ask whats wrong, as if we can help their animal down the modem line. TAKE IT TO THE VET. gosh..is there even a question? if i thought Wonner was ill i'd be on the phone to the vet..i wouldnt waste time booting up my puter, writing out a post, asking ppl...whats the point? if its something very mild, ok, i understand...but things like "he's vomiting constantly" or "he cant use his right hind leg". we dont know what that is. TAKE HIM TO THE VET!!!! criminey, that makes me angry.

ppl who dont really listen, they just wait for their turn to speak.

I misunderstood you too- but now that I know what you mean I just wanna say a BIG HECK YA!

Another thing that drives me crazy is when I'm at work on the phone with a customer and you're not sure if their still there. I'm not sure how to explain it (and this will be the biggest run on sentence) but it's like the conversation has been kind of odd the entire time and some how you end up not saying "bye" or something at the end- so you both sit there just silent for a few seconds and by then it's been too long so you'll sound weird if you say something, so someone just hangs up.

I hate that!

people in class who go out and tell personal stories if the teachers asks a question(pertaining to the class). they talk forever! and never understand that people do not want to hear their life story!

I use to work in retail and people who talk on their cell as I was ringing them up.

In stores people with a lot of kids that let them roam around the store. That is not only dangerous but very annoying when they are destroying the aisles.

I have not been to the mall in a while but when people walking in front of you stop dead in their tracks and you almost run into them.

When I say excuse me and PEOPLE DONT MOVE!!!!

People that dont signal when they change lanes!
People that zoom in and out of lanes really fast. Makes me nervous and angry, someday I will see a crash.


When Hendrix starts to chew paper while Im sleep to get attention, or to let me know shes hungry.

When joplin begs for food! Like jumps on my lap numorous times.

People hogging college computers for hours looking at their myspace. My school blocked the site because of this. But I noticed today they unblocked it.

I have dreadlocks, have had them for almost 13 years. It bugs me when COMPLETE strangers touch my hair and think I can't feel it.

Edit: foods that are sweet that seem like they should not be sweet, beans, bbq sauce things like they.

I will probably be back with more!
