Belated Fourzies

About a week ago, yes, I'm delinquent, Sandi tagged me to do a meme she called the Fourzies. I'm finally finished with supper, am trying to avoid house cleaning, and she said she wanted to know more about me. So here we go.

People I want to "Bitch Slap right into the middle of next week" Will someone PLEASE tell me how you bitch slap anyone? Ok, so I've lead a sheltered life.
How about people I find really, really irritating so that I sort of fuss at them under my breath.
1) Car drivers who rush around me to cut in front of me so they can then slow down and exit ahead of me. I hadn't wanted to exit in the first place. I just don't like being delayed anymore than the next soul.
2) Apartment complex managers who think they are junior gods but have no clue how to act other than rudely, stupidly, and fear their bosses more than they fear losing a resident.
3) Bishops who talk in their sermons about gathering up all the pieces (it was the loaves and fishes sermon) and then refuse to let my best friend do her discernment process in our own diocese, or even provide her with suggestions on where else she might find success and happiness, thus throwing away one of the best "pieces" my congregation has.
4) Lawyers who try to define legal terms to a potential juror in a slippery manor thus confusing said juror and making juror angry because the juror understood the term when the DA defined it. So now the juror hates the confusing lawyer and also his slimy client. (Yeah, Sandi, I'll be glad to tell you that story in private - not sure I can talk about it in public although the case is long since over)


4 People who email me regularly...
1) San Meredith
2) Sandi McBride
3) JS when we have time to write
