I would swear we had a "pet peeve" thread here at one point. Maybe it was in the FFZ.
Oh well.
How about: Out of town friend calls, says they'll be coming to town and want to get together. They say "Anywhere you want to meet is fine; just tell me how to get there." You agree on a place, give them detailed directions to get there, and then at the last minute they call and say "Just come and meet me at my hotel."

perhaps they were tired from traveling? or just didn't feel like going out, but still wanted to see you? I am always glad to meet up anywhere when friends come through town. I figure if they travel this far then I can surely drive to meet them. There are so many worse things that could happen than to just change locations, at least they cared enough to want to see you.... I hope you were able to overlook the inconvenience and enjoy your visit with your friends.

Does Kiss MY A&! mean anything. Been there, done that. Never regretted it. But, I have traveled several miles out of my way for a friend that says, "I need your help". Glad I did that. And, then had to drive her 200 miles home. Still glad Idid it. So is she.

I hope you were able to overlook the inconvenience and enjoy your visit with your friends. Oh, I agree ... and it was kind of a long time ago anyway. But I just remember how long it took to make the directions really good so they wouldn't get lost (we were out of the way), and it was her idea to come and visit us. And then I nearly got lost and into a wreck on my way to her hotel. But we're still friends...

Pet Peeve #2:
Getting a phone call, walking outside so you can hear and find "privacy"...
and getting followed by 2 urchins, a cat and a dog. Over. And Over. Again.

Here, here! I've been known to go into my closet even, and still they will track me down. Yet, I am expecting a call and they don't spend 30 seconds trying to find me.

Open the door in your underwear, or if you have no shame, go naked. Then, tell them they wouldn't have had to look at you if they had walked away when you didn't answer the door after the second time they knocked.

Tell them you'll come to their church if they'll help you with your ritual....

Open the door in your underwear, or if you have no shame, go naked And then preach to them about the sins of shame committed by Adam and Eve! Fig leaves my fanny - let's all strip and fix the Error of Eden! I think the last time they bothered me, my Halloween decorations were up. From the expression on his face, you'd think I had opened the door on the second level of Hell

I always ask them that if it's true (as they preach) that only 144,000 people from all the world are getting into Heaven and there are more than a million JWs, what are THEIR odds of getting into Heaven?

Been slacking? no...I just can't do the cleaning a bear carcass and show up at the front door covered in blood then asking them if they want to join in the service I was preforming just as they arrived...

Ask them if they are saved, and start flipping through YOUR Bible. Then hand them several tracts. Be sure to get their names, addresses and phone numbers so you can follow their spiritual progression.
