I am ticked off that they are going to be destroying that lot and all of the trees during the nesting season for birds. It hurts that they will be taking down all of those trees, but please wait until the birds have fledged.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 I\u2019m ticked off by the people who are complaining about gas prices rising immediately with the cost of oil rather than when the newly priced oil is refined and delivered. Do you complain when gas prices go down immediately when the price of oil drops?<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 I am ticked off that the server in a restaurant asks, \u201d Are you still working on that?\u201d instead of, \u201cAre you still enjoying that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 I\u2019m ticked off at McDonald\u2019s for advertising milkshakes when they have so much trouble keeping their machines working. I tracked our last 10 trips to McDonald\u2019s and milkshakes were unavailable three times. Now we go to Burger King when milkshakes are our priority.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 I\u2019m ticked off at Disney, which frowns upon people cutting in line unless of course you pay them extra to be able do it via purchasing the Lightning Lane at an extra cost. It\u2019s money magic!<\/p>\n<p>The flip side<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Thank you to my sister, Kim, for putting a 10-foot-by-10-foot floating canvas tent with PVC weighted anchors on the bottom of each leg in her pool to shade people as it bobbles around.<\/p>\n<p>NEED TO VENT?: I\u2019m Ticked Off!
