I get mad when people are on their cell phones talking and driving. They are not paying attention. They pull out in front of you without looking. Or they drive so slow b/c they are so into the conversation and not paying attention to their driving. I want to yell at those who are on the phone to "HANG UP AND DRIVE". Another thing that pisses me off. When there is a wreck on the highway, everyone has to stop and look. The ambulance, firetrucks and police are at the scene directing traffic. But yet they stop as if they have never seen an accident on the highway. It slows down traffic, people are late for work for those who work at night. Parents are late taking or getting their children from sporting practice. Be considerate and keep driving, dont slow down traffic to look at an accident. If you want to stop and look then PULL OVER. I dont know how many times I did not make it to the bank or the next destination late b/c drivers want to stop and look at the accident.
You don't have to be a hippie to bring your own bag - I've done it for years and I drive a gas-guzzling car, wear clothes made from synthetic materials, throw the paper and plastic out in the same can and could care less about the greenhouse effect - I just hate the cheap, crappy "post-consumer" recycled bags they love to hand you at the grocery store.
Pisses me off to be walking to the car and have the damn handle break right off the paper sack, dropping my beer and incesticide-ridden produce all over the asphalt!
Now a company that sounds like Ball-Mart has started selling canvas "BYOB" totes right beside the check-out - yet the cashiers can't seem to handle the concept. Every time I go thru the line I get exasperated sighs, dirty looks, or flat-out refusals to use my bag - they must get a bonus for every 300 plastic sacks they hand out. Last week I even had a lady insist on wrapping everything in plastic BEFORE putting it in my canvas bag because she "didn't want to get it dirty".
I realize that I'm not going to single handedly save the planet with my efforts, but it might keep some well-meaning bag boy from having his balls kicked in.
I am pretty pissed off about all of the animal CRUELTY in the world!!! What kind of LOW LIFE MORONS "get off" on hurting and killing poor defenseless animals??? it's REALLY sad and SICK!!! Another subject that is PISSING me off and makes me want to throw up is PUPPY MILLS... WHY WHY WHY are they NOT illegal??? This is REDICULOUS!!! How can someone TORTURE puppies like this??? Animals have rights too!!! PLEASE STOP THIS!!!
We interrupt your normal reading for the following weather advisory from local leprechaun-like weatherperson, Frank. That’s right readers, we have a menacing frontal cloud that could, but not necessarily, cause some damage in Beaefee Oklahoma, so lets go to Doppler two, and now Viper three. Now back to two, now let’s read Ezekiel four and listen to the Jackson five. Now let’s go to my lackey Mike to repeat what I just said, how does that look on Doppleviper IV lackey? Well Frank there are lots of blue and red blotches and some orange spots that can’t be good, and for those of you who did not got to college, if you’re under those spinning things with the frowny faces, you are totally screwed. That’s right, as a Meteorologist I can tell you that if your house is hit by a Tornado, it could sustain some structural damage, you’re thoughts on that lackey? I thought adding the word; “structural” made it sound much more impressive Frank. I agree lackey, and now we’ve had our first causality from the storm, apparently a gentleman in Beaefee has stabbed himself in the brain with an ice pick, so if you’re in Beaefee you should take cover immediately, however in direct contradiction to what I just advised you, we’re sending one of our low paid, I mean highly trained storm chasers to check on this story. Are you there chaser? Yes Frank, apparently this gentleman was a huge fan of the TV show,” Lost” who had been trying to watch it in “High Definition” for months with an HD antenna which can receive all the other stations, but for some reason not KTUL. He had just subscribed to digital cable specifically to watch Lost, but instead, has been listening to several hours of monotonous repetitive mind numbing gibberish. Thanks chaser, that just shows how dangerous these storms can be, but the good news is that even though our viewers missed some of the top rated shows on television tonight, the storm has subsided just in time for the local news! And now we’re receiving reports of a rash of brain stabbings………..
I can't believe it! I just saw my first squeegee man in Tulsa. The bums are absolutely taking over the city and the city leadership, cops, etc. are completely silent on the matter. This guy was working a small strip center on the north side of 11th street about Birmingham. This was in addition to another belligerent, filthy panhandler. These guys apparently are there daily. There are tax-paying merchants trying to make a living there and law abiding citizens trying to shop and eat there. What is going on with this city????!!!! I wonder if these bums were chased away from the downtown arena area only to light elsewhere - the arena seems to be the only thing that interests the city govt. Whack-a-mole is not going to fix this problem.
At the moment, gas prices are bringing me down. I am a single hard working mother who has 2 teenage kids who are driving. I feel that the prices are so out of whack and the government is lining the pockets of the rich with these prices.
I have had to choose now which events for my children to go to. Whether to buy canned food rather than fresh food because now not only do the gas prices affect our driving habits but they are affecting the type of food I can put on my table.
Another stimulus payment would be great! Why not go back to the old days when we helped all the other countries with their debt and war time. Why not go and ask them for the money they owe us now! Since now even our dollar is not worth what it used to BE! These foreigners are now coming to our country because they can buy more here! What is wrong with that picture!
Help! Do I have to get married just so I can have a second income to pay for food AND gas? How ridiculous would that be! I get no public assistance! I work! I pay taxes! Or better yet why not have those illegal immigrants pay taxes and keep us from having to pay them to be here with our hard earned tax $!
Well first off Im pissed off that the army sent us to texas and thankful that I'm leaving soon. Do they not know that texans and okies do not mix well at all... its like mixing oil and water...
and 2 y the hell is oklahoma taxes higher than federal tax i pay 50 bucks more in state tax and dont get nearly as much back from state as i do federal... i mean seriously my husband fights for our country... he has just came back from his 4th deployment and getting ready to head back at the end of the year... I love the army life but damn oklahoma give us a break!!! we dont make that much...
It was around 5:30am, after a fun night out,we decided to go to the casino(which we never do!)I had found the machine that was paying out pretty good, but then my luck was starting to wear out a little.Instead of quitting why i was a head,I went up to the cashier for change.I asked for three, 5 doller bills and the rest in ones. She took my twenty, and pushed three 5's my way, and when I reached for the change, she slap my hand! My first thought was " ok what am I going to say or do to her" before I was able to say anything,She replied, did I scare you! with a shitty look on her face. With my blood boilling,still trying to hold my cool,I turned to her and said No! u did not scare me, but you sure pissed me off! What was she thinking? Was she thinking? Surly not! I hate to think, that was her smart thought! IT IS WRONG TO PUT YOUR HANDS ON ANYBODY! We all learnd that in kindergarten!
I'm sick of this fucking old house i live in that doesn't have a dishwasher in it and theres no room for it anywhere inside ! when was this stupid thing built? 1830?
I would like to say that a franchise ice cream shop locally run by proud Christians deserves just about as much respect as Nordaggio's for terminating an employee (myself) for what can only be, to quote Derek Dyson, "dissidential exorcism". I filled out an application and was greeted extremely enthusiastically. I was offered a management position and set hours. The owner seemed to love me, and was more than happy after hearing of my experience and skills. While becoming aquainted with coworkers who asked the typical questions about life, I gave my opinion regarding religion because it is directly involved with the state of discord and unhappiness I and my family have experienced for years. I worked for MSC for two weeks. Sunday I was called and told not to come in for my shift on Monday. When I asked why, I was told that a former employee had reapplied and was given his job back- therefore, my hours for that day. I asked about the rest of the week. The owner then explained that "a girl who used to work for us came back from her two week vacation and she'll be taking your position since she has seniority... [ insert long pause as I sit back, incredulous] ..we're letting you go." Almost verbatim.
Later that Sunday evening, one of the employees contacted me through myspace and asked what happened. I told her. When I went back to the store location for my paycheck the following weekend, the owner threatened to sue me for slander even though my conversation with the employee was a private message, and nothing more.
In my own experience, nothing has hurt my life, ambition, well being, and financial status more that Christianity's unwavering hold on my parents and extended family. Yet it seems even employers are not above it's irrational grasp.
The PikePass will be limiting your pikepass to a single vehicle at the end of this month. No more shifting your pikepass from vehicle to vehicle... now you will need to pay the $40 and get each its own pikepass.
you know i don't understand Tulsa drivers around bicyclists. is it that hard to slowly drive past us if we are riding in the road? Technically bicyclists have the same road rules as any other vehicle so get over it people. If there is a cyclist turning left across traffic the right thing to do is wait for them like you would any other car, not scream curse words at them. HOnking, or yelling just startles someone on their bicycle which could cause them to fall into the street and get hurt. If that happened think about how inconvenient it will be when you have to wait for the ambulance to come and help this person you just caused wreck. Tulsa, we are a bicycle city and its only going to get worse with rising gas prices and pollution. Be polite, respectful and for heavens sake safe. Please
I'm not pissed-off about anything. I'm quite content in all things. However, I'm a bit bummed by soulantiquity's earlier post about his/her experience with so called "Christians". Hey Soulantiquity, I sure hope you don't let the bad attitudes and religious bondage of some "churchy" people get in the way of really knowing Jesus. He's actually amazing and wants you to fulfill your God given destiny.
As a pastor, if there is one thing that does piss me off it's "religious" people getting in the way of Jesus.

I'm pissed that urbantulsa doesn't have a better entertainment section on its website. I'd like to see a central page where I can click a day and all activities on that day are displayed.
Im pissed that Oklahoma doesn't have a supportive hip-hop community for aspiring artist. Im from New York. I never expected it to be anything like where i am from, but what in the blue, blazes is going on in this state? I tell you what nada!!! Why is it that the music itself is fround upon? Why is it the only acceptable form of hip-hop in oklahoma is gospel rap. It's crazy to think that if you don't support the aspiring artist of your community, meaning club owners, record store, corner resturants, barber shops, why do you think we have no entertainment community that thrives?. Hip-hop lives, even if some never studied it before they recorded a verse. If you want to hear real Hip-hop google :UGOLYE and hear how pissed off i really am..
