Things that Bug the Hell Out of Me

Over the past few months, I've archived the many gripes and am compiling them into a list, entitled "Things that Bug the Hell Out of Me."

Through foul-mouthed humor (a la George Carlin) I aim to point out the pain-in-the-ass phenomena of every day life. I hope you can relate to it as well. Keep in mind that my vitriol for these occurrences is exaggerated for interest's sake.

Some are more personal gripes, while some are more universal. Bear with me, as I infrequently "publish" the highlights in this blog every now and then.

Let's start it off.


1. People referring to any text as "font".

"Can you change the color of that font above the picture?" Well no, but I can change the color of the text. I can only change the shape of the font. Type or text refers to the actual word content. Font refers to the shape style of the type. Not the color, not the size, but the style. Got it?


10. Watches with no hour markings. Time shouldn't be a guessing game, people.


26. People who don't flush in restaurant bathrooms - mostly to feed their delusion of cleanliness by not touching the dirty toilet handle. But then they touch the dirty door handle to get out of the restroom and pay for their food with dirty money after sitting at a dirty table wiped off with a damp rag that sat soaking in dirty water.

By the way, thanks for the pot of gold in the bathroom, Harvey. Real sanitary. Just want I want during my meal! To take a break from eating so I can head into the bathroom and flush your piss away because you can't be bothered.


27. Seeing random shreds of toilet paper strewn around a public restroom. What the hell do people do in there? Use the roll as a chew toy? I know, they're probably covering the seat so they don't get ass cooties. As if a 1/4 millimeter layer of loosely spliced tissue is going to protect you from the sicknesses of the world. And, last time I checked, your ass cheeks probably appear pretty low on the list of body parts susceptible to common bacteria. It's not like germs soak in through osmosis.


34. The condensation that develops on the underside of refrigerated tupperware lids. You pop off the lid to have the water run off and soak your food, your hand, or drip all over the counter. ARRGG!!!


More to come.
