What is even more annoying than February and March?

6 years ago
last modified: 6 years ago

It's a cranky time for those of us in true winter climes. I mused on this, and decided NONE of these helped in any way: In no order below: )

Mike Lindell, The "My Pillow" guy, now ever more irritating with his sheets and mattress topper

Adam Schiff, A.O.C the apparent new "boss" in Congress. She belongs at the top, actually.

The "bee bopping jerk" in the Toujeo commercial. If you worked with this guy, or lived next door?!

The weather. DUH.

Google not letting you type what you WANT. Needing six tries.

The "related discussion" thing from Houzz , now at the bottom of every post , here.

Add your own, sound off! Grrrrrr.

    "You're that pillow guy...!!!!"

    Well, I love these winter months but I could choose a more annoying (actually two): Chip and Jo. Marie Kondo.

    I love MY pillows. I have two! I don’t see the TV commercials. I am glad I don’t :)

    High on my grumpy list are people who don’t contain their dogs. I like walking my dog in my neighborhood but the dogs make it scary.

  • 6 years ago

    There is someone in the neighborhood who does bag their dog's poo -- but then leaves it there on the sidewalk.

    The smirk on Adam Schiff's face when he talks about how he hopes to have hearings on this or that. I don't necessarily disagree with his positions, but geez!

    All the commercials that are clearly aimed at "us" older folks. Apparently we all desperately need life insurance, security remotes, medigap insurance and laxatives (according the one rerun channel I've been watching lately).

    Does anyone notice how many of the comments here relate to ills brought on by television? I want to thank you all for making me feel good about my abandonment of television back in 2010. For the record, I have no idea what this pillow thing is all about and I saw Marie condo for 10 minutes once, she must be nuts, praying to her trash before tossing it.

    Maybe the thing that's more annoying than February and March are the people who don't live in that climate and don't even know what you mean...........LOL

    I hate that most all phone calls now are NOT from people you know but some scam.. as a retired telephone employee you know how hard it is for me to just let a phone ring? I really wish that call was the last one I'll receive on what ever product or service the call is about. If you are really calling about my "credit card" or "warranty" shouldn't you already know which one? But yes the weather is a good thing to complain about this time of year. And no they don't close things down in Montana for a little snow

    PS.................If you gave up tv in 2010, you subbed in something? Houzz? Drinking? Donuts? And you haven't walked an aisle at Bed Bath and Beyond either, or you'd know the pillow guy! So maybe you're out there under a ROCK!!

    Adam Schiff? I smell SNAKE OIL. All he is missing is ...........can't print it. &^^%%$##

    If you love that cheap foam pillow? You never tried a decent down filled pillow. I bet your head sweats too!!! The only thing I can imagine that is worse? A hospital pillow. OH!!! A hospital mattress.

    Dog poo: I'm sorry. Some people just stink. What? You can't carry the blue newspaper bag? I'd follow that guy to his own yard, and that is where I would toss that BAG. right on the stoop.

    People who don't endure winter. Very tempting to say " oh gee, that hurricane thing..........yeah, I've heard of those. I hear those PALMETTO bugs are a ton of fum too. Nobody nice say stat stuff.

    Have one more: The hearing aid guy. PULEEEEEEZE.

    Spirit lifter? The Subaru commercials with dogs. : ) Thank you Subaru. I forget my pain on the inclined treadmill.

    I'll tell you just what's wrong with February and March...The Philadelphia Flower Show. The biggest flower show in the country, running for 190 years and taking over the whole convention center starts this weekend. I've smelled the hyacinths and gotten my hopes up too many times. Every year, all those flowers and trees planted temporarily in there trick us into thinking that it's Spring. It's not! And it won't be for another couple of months until the cherry trees bloom.

    I'm so tired of getting my hopes up at the flower show every March just to be dashed on the pavement of reality when we have to plod through until May. Sheesh!

    And don't get me started on Punxatawny Phil. That furry little fraud is in no position to know.

    And THAT is what's wrong with February and March. So there!

    I'm going to go pout now. Or drink. Maybe both.

    Unsolicited phone calls! Whatever happened to the Do Not Call list? I have been getting 15-20 calls a day for electric choice, credit cards, and so called charities that pay huge salaries to their executives and give very little to the cause they supposedly support!

    The do not call list is a sham. The government doesn't have enough workers to man that table. Try the private companies to block the calls--Nomorobo.com

    Politics again, Jan Moyer?

    last modified: 6 years ago

    @ Jan - I used to think you were a mean 'pro', now I think you're a funny individual with an edge! :)

    What's more annoying than Feb. & March? Nothing wrong with either month, rather other things that make it seem annoying...

    People who think they own the road

    People who think they own the world

    Fake people

    People who work in customer service related jobs who don't like people or customers

    Sales calls -specially on Sunday mornings, or at dinner time

    I'm noticing a theme here, of me being most annoyed by people (love love animals though)

    Final note: My pillow, or down filled pillow...actually no pillow is best!

  • 6 years ago

    oh gee, that hurricane thing..........yeah, I've heard of those.

    Seriously, I'm down in Africa. We're heading into Autumn now - In Winter we slip just slightly below 0C, some days. And they're dry winters, no rain, no snow. Gets to your bones, but doesn't last long.

    Come over you all. Or rather, come for the summer.

    I can beat all this: how about arthritis, cold, rain, 74 years old and the Dr. tells you today he doesn't like your numbers and you must give up all alcohol. Now that, as my late husband used to say, "sucks the big wazoo".

    Yeah...............how about that "becoming more irritating ( and scary) every single day congresswoman" from Brooklyn, caught stuffing her face with the hamburger she believes the rest of us should not be eating? And then descending a climate ruining plane on a flight between two cities close enough in distance to be better traveled by high speed TRAIN? LMAO. Not really : (

    Last kicker? Declaring the recycling of plastic grocery bags "hard". Where the heck is her "green" TOTE may I ask? You can get one in any grocery right at the checkout for like 99 cents. So she's a cheapskate too. With her money, not yours.

    I believe my friend Rush has told me about her. My issues are closer to home where our Mayor has turned our city into a safe haven for homeless. A population that has in years more than doubled.It is not uncommon to see them going to the bathroom or doing drugs in plain sight. They are exploring paying pan handlers minimum wage to clean the streets, but why would they when they are making better money begging next to a now hiring sign? And yet our mayor is praised by many and making a presidential run.

    We are in the but end of Winter. It’s not nice. Except maybe for those who can afford to travel to warmer places. THAT is annoying but I’m keeping my peace. I don’t think I’ve seen one snowdrop this year, everything is coated in ice. Also annoying: taxes going up every year, my kids homework and assignments that make no sense, so much go——mn snow and ice everywhere you can’t get anywhere, not getting fresh air into the house, being very pale and washed out and generally feeling like I’m disintigrating, dry air/frizzy hair, exspensive food/no local produce except potatoes and old apples, people who own corner properties that never shovel, the rats that burrowed into my neighbours house, my cat who’s going batsh—t crazy due to cabin fever/confused by the Spring/not Spring weather and shedding like crazy, having to chip the garbage cans out of ice, salt ruining shoes....

  • 6 years ago

    January. It is FAR more annoying than February or March! ; ) At least with March we have hope that Spring'll come soon!

  • 6 years ago

    Don’t count on it March often means weather swinging wildly between snow and rain resulting in piles of slush, frozen puddles, frozen mud, hail, freezing rain, melting dog crap from all the people who walked dogs all winter in snow storms, and possible frozen rats/squirrels locked in ice.

    So, if our President decides tomorrow that he is identifying as a woman then he will be our first female President, also since he is married he will be our first gay President. And to boot our first gay President married to an immigrant. And the ones who support this will be forced to.Hmmm

    I find it really annoying when a poster asks for advice you give it, then they completely ignore you and continue to try to pander for advice to fit their ill conceived plan. Stop wasting our time.

    Must be talking about me. I love February and March - my birthday is in February, and my only complaint is if it rains. I very often forget what month it is.

    My complaint about March is that we are going to Cabo next week for my brother's birthday, and the water will be too cold to go snorkeling without a wetsuit, and mine doesn't fit anymore.

  • 6 years ago
    How can March possibly be annoying when it has one of the best holidays in it? St Patrick's Day will soon be upon us to cheer all of you grouchy people up! Have a shot of Bailey's, Jameson, or a Guinness , eat some corn beef and cabbage and have a little fun:)

    The problem with St. Patrick's Day is all the amateurs who come out of the woodwork for the specials at Paddy McDrinkerson's.
