ATTENTION ALL READERS...

...who are interested in participating. Upon reading a friend's blog today I came across a post that included the author's favorite things to do and her request for her readers to comment with similar lists. Therefore, I devised a plan to make us all more interactive so we can get to know each other better. The plan is this. We (the older Hubies) will list personally the top three "little" things in life that aggrevate us the most and request that you do the same. Hopefully we will all learn to avoid being around each other when these things occur! Here goes our lists...

Rick:
1. Being late (tardiness)
2. Disorderliness
3. Running out of hot water

Joni:
1. Going to bed alone
2. Loads of clothes left in the washer overnight
3. Over-stuffed drawers

Nikkae:
1. Losing things
2. My bank
3. Not enough time

Katherine:
1. Double creases (on dress shirts and pants)
2. Having to share Christian Valor
3. Too many unrealistic ideas voiced by others

Brandon:
1. Being falsely accused
2. Noisy gum chewers
3. Micro-management

Anthony:
1. Adolescent allergy hackers
2. Roosters that think their "big stuff"
3. Messy toothpaste tubes

Thank you for your participation :)

    Perhaps this type of a post was put up due to the lateness of the hour! We were given many helpful hints by our Uncle Bob from Alabama. Way too many giggles were going around that's for sure!

    We watched "Emma" last night so I was thinking in the catagory of Miss Bates, (people who can hardly stop for a breath). :)

     

  • At 1:00 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said…

    Good idea for a way to get to know people! I might have to steal it sometime ;)

    1. fingernail files
    2. things that snag on the callouses on my fingertips
    3. smudges on my glasses, tv screen or computer screen

     

  • At 1:23 PM, Blogger Tim said…

    Things I find most aggravating:

    1. The Country
    2. Home-cooked meals
    3. Volleyball

    Remind me not to put myself into situations where I might have to experience said aggravations.

  • At 9:21 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said…

    Rob, your items had me laughing-particularly #2!

    Max:
    1. Bad Drivers (particularly truckers who wait until you are 20 yards away to sloooowly pull out in front of you!)

    2. Not being able to find the right tools when I need them.

    3. Getting pulverized by a precariously (strategically?)placed container of left-overs, when I open the fridge, looking for some breakfast at 4:00 am.

    Let's keep this thread going, all you Huber-blog-readers!

     

  • At 6:25 AM, Blogger Unknown said…

    Max:

    I saw your post about bad truck drivers, and had to say something.
    Have you ever driven a truck? If not, please understand that he was probably thinking the same thing about you.

    Cute Rob~ :]

    your Sis

     

  • At 10:52 AM, Blogger Hubers said…

    Tim,

    We think you misunderstood our instructions. Your list is supposed to include the top three things that aggravate you, not your top three FAVORITE things in this world! That's ok, we understand :)

     

  • At 10:59 AM, Anonymous Anonymous said…

    Alright, here goes:

    1. People that try to be friendly and helpful but are completely obnoxious and unhelpful.

    2. This is a two part aggravation: A - Speakers that are annoyed at the fact that they have to use a mic, B - Speakers and conference attendees that think they know more about sound then they actually do, and feel free to make changes when you aren't guarding the sound booth.

    3. People that don’t delete spam posts on their blog

     

  • At 1:58 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said…

    Hey Guys....y'all are getting hit by spam comments.

    Very creative post!

     

  • At 6:17 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said…

    I cannot let my aggravation go undefended. ;)

    Yes, I have driven a semi-truck before. However it wasn't on a main road! I do have a friend who drives a big-rig often, and yes, they do get annoyed (to put it mildly) at bad drivers. However, the truckers I had in mind in my post, would have no justification for thinking ill of me in this case.

    I have no qualms about slowing down for a big-rig when it would otherwise be hard for him to enter traffic.
    The kind of instances I was talking about, happens on country roads where there is little traffic. If the trucker would have been able to wait 5 more seconds, I would have been past him, and he would have been able to use the entire road at his leisure. But no, he sits there waiting, until I am very close, and then makes his move. (Perhaps it is only California truckers?)

    That is my apologetic for my aggravation!

    Rob, you will have to define the word "truck" before I refute your statement. Does your definition have anything to do with Chevy? :)

     

  • At 6:50 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said…

    Wow, this post has gotten great feed back! I love comments from our readers :) Perhaps we should do something like this again.

     

  • At 6:56 PM, Blogger Tim said…

    Hubers,

    Ah, good catch. Allow me to correct myself:

    1. The city
    2. Little access to home-cooking
    3. A sedentary lifestyle

    Yikes.

     

  • At 7:56 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said…

    Thanks for setting our minds at ease Tim. You now sound like a "normal" person :)

     

  • At 9:08 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said…

    Max,

    Upon reading your most recent apologetic, I am not sure if I really want to get into it with you. I was just using the occasion to pull your chain about your "toy". :)

     

  • At 10:28 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said…

    Robb,
    Keep in mind that this "toy" has diligently served for 255,000 miles (and counting), and has only asked for a timing belt, water pump, and (as of three weeks ago)an ignition coil. A high class toy, I must say!

    -Max

    P.s. Speaking of pulling(towing?)-chains, has that been a frequent event with your fleet of Chevys? :)(couldn't resist this one!)

     

  • At 10:45 PM, Blogger Unknown said…

    I find it odd that you Hubers would request people to vent their frustrations at you all, but seeing as you asked for it, here I go...

    1. Discussing possibilities when we already know they won't work,
    2. Being interrupted in the middle of practicing the Piano,
    3. People who grind their axe on their blog.

    Jonathan

     

  • At 11:01 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said…

    Max,

    I accept your explanation of your problem. I believe that permission to drive aggressively comes after:

    1: You are driving a vehicle that is capable of breaking traction on clean and dry pavement (not just a little squeak, but a big black streak).

    2: You have a well rounded mechanical knowledge of how your vehicle works.

    3: You are willing to use both of the previously mentioned items to their full capasity if the need arises.

    Jonathan

    I vote for continued "freedom of speech" (within appropriate bounds)on this blog. (sorry Nate for disagreeing with you)
    The Huber family would like to make a public apology to our readers for the excess amount of spam comments on our site. We have temporarily taken care of this problem and will search the matter out in full on a later date :o Meanwhile how about another post?...oh, I guess that would be our job!

    Hey Kath,
    I'm surprised you didn't list double creases for one of your top three ;)

     

  • At 10:24 AM, Blogger The Clerk said…

    Okay, I'll chime in:

    1. Computers
    2. Falling behind schedule
    3. emails that are written with no capitalization and bad punctuation or are written in "telegraph style"
    Example:
    "daughter struggling
    thinking about home ed
    pls send info
    thnx"

    I also strongly sympathise with Tamra Klaty's complaint with people who don't come to dinner immediately! :-)

     

  • At 10:27 AM, Anonymous Anonymous said…

    Luke:
    1. Using lights when they are not needed.
    2. Constant snapping of picures.
    3. Sleeping in damp conditions.
    Anna:
    1. Messy hair.
    2. Playing an out of tune instrument.
    3. Not returning phone calls.

     

  • At 5:11 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said…

    It seems that many of the aggravations (including my own) stem from a lack of patience.
    Are there some thoughts on why this is such a universal character flaw?

     

  • At 7:02 PM, Blogger The Clerk said…

    Sorry, Caleb, for confusing you. Yes, I was sitting in front of a computer when I wrote that, and I am again - in fact I have been almost all day.

    I have just this to say about computers: When they are good, they are very, very good. But when they are bad, they are horrid!

    Jessica

     

  • At 8:46 PM, Blogger Unknown said…

    Caleb,

    I am sorry, but I must disagree.

    For example, here are three things that annoy me about Macs.

    1: They're expensive
    2: They're not widely compatible
    3: They're much harder to repair/upgrade

    Yes I realize these sound like small things, but then again, they are very big when it comes down to practicality.

    Jonathan

     

  • At 10:52 PM, Blogger Peter J. Serven said…

    Jonathan,

    I hate to publicly embarrass you but...

    1. Remember, you get what you pay for.

    2. True, they are not compatible with cheep PC software. I would be interested in knowing what GOOD QUALITY software you had in mind when you made that comment.

    3. Ahem... Did you say repair? Also, they are usable and upgradable for a long time, I dare say as long, if not longer then a PC.

    Yes, I realize these sound like small things, but then again, they are very big when it comes down to quality.

    -peter

     

  • At 7:29 AM, Blogger Unknown said…

    Peter,

    I am not embarrassed in the least.

    And I agree with you completely. But honestly, you've got to admit that for the everyday user Mac's are not practical, and PC's are. Sure they're nice if you've got the brain to deal with them, and they're excellent if you need them, but for the everyday no-brain user:

    1: A PC is All they need
    2: They're plenty reliable if you're on the NT File System (Windows XP, 2000, and NT)
    3: They're compatible with all the cheap software that everyone else uses.
    4: Anyone's budget can get a really nice PC.

    Please also note that I am not defending PC's (there's nothing about them to defend) I'm just defending the people who use them.

    Jonathan

  • At 10:50 PM, Blogger Peter J. Serven said…

    Jonathan,

    I am glad to hear that you are softening up to the whole mac thing.

    Caleb,

    I agree with Jonathan, people who have no brain should stick to a PC.

    -peter

    P.S. I will now resign from the honorable position of Defender of all Macs, but before I do, one last decree. Caleb, I now dub you the sole Defender of all Macs. From now on please direct all your comments to Caleb.

     

  • At 4:49 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said…

    Peter,
    You make a very strong statement when you say that people who have no brain should stick to PC. You see, if you would have said that people who are not computer savvy should stick to PCs, then it would have clarified your statement. But as it stands, your statement implies that those who should have PCs, have no brain.

    Does it then follow that those who have PCs and are satisfied with them, are the ones that should have them, and therefore have no brains?

    I am not defending PCs. I am defending people like myself who evidently have "no brains!" :)

    -Max

    Hey, don't forget to stick to the original post, guys. If there's one thing Brandon doesn't like, it's rabbit trails. ;)

    I try not to be bothered by much, but since we're on the subject...

    1. Smudges on my graphics machine.
    2. Being late for events.
    3. When people bash computer platforms without actually giving them a chance.

    Mac, Windows, and Linux forever,
    Josh

     

  • At 9:56 AM, Blogger Unknown said…

    Another Problem with Macs:

    "1. Smudges on my graphics machine."

    Could that be a Mac? IBM's don't smudge.

    I should have added that to my list of annoyances. And if I still had a Mac I would have. But since I forgot to add it, I'll add it now.

    4: Smudges on my iBook.

    Brandon, it is your duty to keep Alisa Kate clean. (at least whenever I'm around). That was my first broken heart, and I just can't bear to see her being mistreated.

    Jonathan

     

  • At 12:08 PM, Blogger Hubers said…

    Jonathan,

    The only reason why there were smudges all over Alisa Kate while you were here, was intirely the fact that I could not keep all the guest hands from wanting to hold and touch her. You would think she was some sort of idol, or tourest attraction.

    I dare say she was.

    Anyone who comes from the Jack Huber home would know tardiness would be Rick's number one 'little thing'. It must be a LITTLE thing since he married Joni. Anyway, since my post is coming in LATE, I might as well add it.
    1. Realizing I just killed an hour at the computer going through the Huber blogs!!! Don't get me wrong, I love the Huber blogs - note #2 and #3.
    2. Not enough time to read the Huber blogs.
    3. Not enough pictures on the Huber blogs.
    Love you all;)
