4 BEEFS!

Here are four "Beefs" that I seem to have to cope with almost every day.


Poem Artwork

 

 

We all have our "Beefs" about irritating things that happen all of the time. I sure you have yours, here are some of mine.

BEEF #1 - Inconsiderate folks who block the shopping lanes in a store and you must say, "please excuse me" over and over in so many ways!

Well it's not really a crime but this seems to happen all the time!

 

BEEF #2 There is the extremely slow driver who does 15 in a 30 zone. You really want to say, "If you don't feel like driving the speed limit you should really stay home!"

 

BEEF #3 Then there is the lady in a public office with a boat load of kids running around screeching and scurrying about. She does not discipline them at all and it just makes you want to scream or shout!

 

BEEF #4 Then there are those times when you are a running little late and behind time. So a long-winded conversationalist takes an extra 10 minutes to yak about everyone in the neighborhood when you’re waiting in line. 

So what is your beef?

What drives you crazy? What's new?

 

I hope your "Beefs" are few.

 

Have a very nice day!

I have similar beefs, but I'm the one pushing the wagon aside, honking my horn, yelling at the kids, and get annoyed at people. This way I become someone else's beef.

I'm so glad you got this out John! Ha :)

I don't know if I have a beef, but if I must come up with one...hmmm. my beef is that time goes so quickly by that it's difficult to really take in all the beauty and wonders of this incredible world in one lifetime!

My 'Beefs' are many these days
And many of them, are like yours
But the one that drives me insane
Is thinking that someone is talking to me,
When they really talking to someone else
On their never ending cell phone conversations,
Which are non-stop these days - in grocery stores,
restaurants, parks, and even in movie theatres.
I often wonder what so many people now have to talk about 24-7.

...there are always some superficial issues in life that could
be categorized...as your humorous writing suggests...as an idiom
to beef about...have a beef against...asking...where's the beef's relating substance...But...

...in most cases...take a deep breath and think...most of the
little "annoying things" and other petty irritants...are not
worth getting uptight about!
Thank you John Michael for sharing the fun.

It's kinda funny and recognizable! Well, we just have to laugh about it, I guess. We are all just humans. It's the struggle against ourselves. GB

i loved this but i simply refuse to give those beefers that you referenced, power over my blood pressure...if not much else in my life, i HAVE learned patience...however i simply save it instead for CELL-DAM-PHONES...in restraunts...in stores...while driving...at family gatherings...on and on...i could easily stroke-out or be arrested for assault in any of these places.

Poets who write about beef rather than poultry. (Just kidding) Those are some good ones.

Those who throw wrappers, fast food containers, and other trash on their way home walking or from their cars so that others can pick up after them. Those who race to stop lights in a hurry to burn more gasoline. Those who run red lights. Those who drive on the streets and freeways as though they were in some kind of a race with death. Those who think that pushing the elevator button very hard 20 times will make things happen more quickly. Those that talk on their cell phones loudly in public places.

There now, I feel better. Guess I won't have to write a poem about it.
