Things that annoy me

[milkman]

I wouldn't call the "reaching for my shirt pocket" an addiction, you got no delivery of the drug your body craved by reaching for your shirt pocket. I smoked too for too long, and one of the things that bothered me, was what to do with my hands as I sat in the break room at work.

The better than you attitude of toyota Prius drivers. They always get extra black smoke from my cummins for as long as I can stay in front of them!!

Yep, that's the claim alright; so I'm not qualified to dispute the experts. I smoked for over 40 years, was smoking more than 2 packs a day, smoked the last one in a pack the night of July 10, 2006, and just never opened another pack. I guess the "habit" of reaching for my shirt pocket, only to find nothing there for a couple of weeks could be considered an addiction, but I sure never had any physical reaction or withdrawal symptoms or problems.

A family member eventually stopped smoking after years and years of trying. The problem they had was the habit/ritual of smoking. They would smoke when there was nothing else to do, smoking was something to fiddle with, and when they stopped smoking, they had to find something else to do, which was eating. They would stop smoking, start eating to have something to do, and they would gain weight. To loose weight, they would start smoking again. Danged if you do, and danged, if you don't.

They stopped smoking years ago but gained too much weight that they cannot loose. I guess at their age it really does not matter. They quit smoking but they could not stop the habit. I guess they should have taken up knitting. :confused3:

Later,
Dan

Dan, I had the same problem; used to smoke when I wasn't doing anything else and now want to snack when I'm not doing anything else. And my Dad started smoking when he was about 22. He was smoking a carton a week when he quit smoking when he was 40. He was a tall, wiry, strong fellow, weighed about 170 pounds. In about a year, he was up to 210 pounds and started smoking again; continued smoking the rest of his life.

I don't expect to ever go back to smoking though, since I didn't quit for health reasons. I quit because it's too expensive and gets the house, car, and pickup dirty.

Agreed.

I get annoyed when I'm routering a sign and leave out a letter :thumbdown: They don't erase very well.

Or put the "S" backwards... SOMETHING didn't look right.

Just went to pick up a part for my pickup from a small town.
The guy gave really bad directions, but I planned to call him on the cell when I got close (that is why I have a cell phone afterall).

I got lots of "bars"....
And the message EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY.

I've had that happen to me before, and I'm just about ready to try a different cell company.

How do you read our minds??????? Do you work for the Government?
Of course we're better. Strange how you can pick-up the attitude just because we laugh when we pass you while you're filling up.
