    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Some people seem even and laid back and are never aggravated by anything. Others have their knickers permanently in a knot and get aggravated by EVERYTHING. How about you?
 
too funny!!

You forgot a "polls" option :raspberry


I voted for "not enough money to buy something I want" which happens a lot. And for "TROLLS" for which all know that I despise trolls.

The things i want that i cant afford right now:

1.1 Mack snows
1.1 100% het pied balls
1.1 100% het snow red tail boas
1.1 moonglow Cresties
1.1 green tree monitors

I always want 1.1 so that i can breed them. I really enjoy the feeling i get when those little heads come popping out of thier eggs. It gives me a real feeling of accomplishment. Then the hard part comes, selling the babies you would really rather keep because they have life because of you and you always wonder what happens to them once they leave. Breeding is a double edged sword, the great feeling of hatching them out then the sorrow of letting them go when someone buys them. I think the overall accomplishment of breeding and rearing the young outweigh the bad though which is what keeps me going.

Hey if you are going to say that not being able to afford some things is aggravating, at least complain about the ones that cost even more....like actual Pied Balls, and Snow Boas. :laugh:

Stupidity, which could be a culmination of a few choices above, gets my goat. :hot:


Yep...add ignorance and you pretty much sum it all up...


Oh...yeah...traffic and the way other people drive...which is almost ALWAYS caused by the two above things...STUPIDITY AND IGNORANCE...although I wanted to be sure it had it's own category...LOL

That's a big one. If I had to pick the ten things that irritate me the most, people who speed through school zones would, without a doubt, be on it. I'm not a violent person, but having some jerk fly up behind me and ride my bumper, or watching someone fly past doing 45 when there are 3rd graders playing 10 yards from the street makes me want to rip them out of their cars at the next stoplight and smack them silly. No matter HOW late I am for class, I CRAWL through all 5 school zones I pass through on the 4 mile trip to campus. Who the bleep cares if I'm a few minutes late to class, that's not going to hurt anyone. If I hit a child, I don't think I would be able to live with myself.

SAFETY FIRST. :hot:

I have no issues with the IRS.
I'm unfortunately one of those late people sometimes.
Neither gender aggravates me soley because of their anatomy.
ANYone who won't ask for directions is annoying.
I think my neighbors dogs are possessed.
Trolls (esp. on Fauna) get on my nerves, but fortunately there's an Ignore button.
Having to wait in line is acceptable and anticipated in some situations (DMV...)
And man, when my PMS kicks in... :raspberry :rofl:
 
you forgot liars, I really dislike liars more than anything else, except maybe the word "HATE", probably the most offensive word in the English language all other derogatory words stem from this one word, more people and been persecuted and killed because of this one word.
 
Everything aggravates Me! I checked 'em ALLL. except "nothing bothers me". :dgrin:
For the "other" category, Liars, cheats, thieves, they are about the same level of lowness.
People from across the border who drive 70 KMH, in a 70MPH.
And also, having to listen, or try to understand spanish, in my own country, no matter where I am at. It comes on the english radio stations, on the billboaeds, and local tv channels when the news interviews someone, they have to translate it live. If i want to go out and eat, (order in english if you want a dumb look in return). Good thing food groups are important enough to me. That's the first spanish I learned was "food" of all kinds, and then money and numbers.

Oh Yeah! CONVENIENCE. Everything is "convenient" these days. Convenient stores, remotes, speach programs for computors, remotes for car stereo's. I mean come on, how far do you have to reach? Pretty soon we will only have to push a button on our wrist watch and the toilet will appear under your ass, everything ready to go. It will even clean you when you are done. You wont have to miss your favorite show. No wonder We are one of the most obese nations in the world. If not the "THE most". We are breeding laziness into ourselves in a lot of ways.

How's that? LOL I can probably come up with some more. HA HA

Ciao,
Rick
 
Lots of things aggravate me:
losing power while taking an online exam,
brownnosers/teacher's/boss' pets,
whiners,
people who are slow on the uptake for no good reason,
the inability to grasp the subtle yet important difference between 'your/you're', 'to/too',and singular and plural of woman and man and the fact that it is impossible except in my own personal hell to have "a women" make sense.
I also get disgruntled at hypocrites, ingrates, the willfully ignorant, and hornblowers - if you're that great, you don't need to go advertising it, people will discover it on their own. Humility is a virtue I appreciate.

I also agree with the anti bad drivers sentiment. The left lane indicates that you should be going faster than the right lane. If you don't have mirrors or turn signals/brake lights, SHAME ON YOU. Don't speed by schools during school hours, and for the love of pete don't try to cut people off when there's plenty of space behind them. Yes, I can see you pick your nose through the car windows, its not an invisibility cloak. Jeez.
 
my biggest aggravation come from people who give you their word and then live up to it. out of all the things a person has in life their word is one of the few aspects to us that cannot be taken away or maligned by others unless we prove it by our actions. too many times i have heard "you have my word" and then it never comes through. i may be old fashioned but character and integrety still mean alot to me.

Didn't your daddy tell you..........."Boy, NEVER try to make sense out of what a woman does. It will make you crazy. Just smile, nod and agree with them if you know whats best for the peace." LOL They dont say Mars and Venus for no reason at all. :dgrin:
