A List of Things That Tick Me Off
by Adrianne Rodgers on August 18, 2006
1. Crusty old binnies who accuse the current generation of being selfish as they don mink coats and drive down to Florida in Lexus convertibles with lambskin seats.
2. Giving a bum some money just to shut him up, but then he starts spouting wisdom as if anyone has ever gained insight from some irascible vermin who lives in a cardboard box and hasn't seen a roll of toilet paper in three decades.
3. Miserable mailguys who piss and moan about their jobs, then when they get fired and should be exulting in their freedom, instead decide to pull out a revolver and start shooting every mailbox and human being in sight.
4.Hypocritical cops citing the potential for testicular cancer from leaving radar guns in their laps, but thinking nothing of firing the tumor-causing musket at our brains as we whiz by them on the highway.
5. Continuing to get the previous residents' mail half a century after they move out, and the future residents' mail a decade before they move in.
6. The pathetic control on Porta-Potties that allows you to tell others that it is 'not vacant' as if anyone stupid enough to use the rancid apparatus has anything above a second grade vocabulary.
7. Honking the horn at some old goat, and the guy's so out of it he waves hello, as if a hello toot is ever a three minute horn blast, followed by a middle finger and a death-defying pass along the guard rail.
8. People who put up CAUTION: BLIND DRIVEWAY signs, as if the people driving by should be careful because this total dingbat purchased himself the crappiest house on the planet.
9. Lamebrained joggers continueing to run in place when you ask them for directions, as if you can hear a word they're saying when their feet are scuffing the ground, and they're sucking in air like they've had their head dunked in a toilet for five minutes.
10. Trying to play a game of tennis and dodging balls from the physically impaired nimrods in the next court who keep lining felt balls at your head and encouraging each other by saying 'That was a really close shot.'
11. Overly cautious lardbutts pressing the walk button when there are no cars around for miles, so by the time you drive up, you still have to stop and watch him haul his gargantuan rump across the street.
12. Mushbrains borrowing a book and reading it in a steaming hot tub, then returning it as if you're ever going to be able to peruse the mildewed stack of deformed pulp again.
13. The numbskulls working at the ticket desk who think they can make flying safer simply by asking every passenger if they have plans to hijack the plane.
14. Licking batter off a knife and suddenly wondering why vanilla frosting tastes like blood and has the consistency of a tongue.
15. When the newlyweds at a wedding party finally make their way to your table to say 'hi' after four agonizing hours of making small talk with the plethora of bungleheads you're sitting with, and two seconds later the lovestruck pinheads are gone and you don't see them again for half a century

Happy Freakin' Holidays
Can we please, *please*, give these stores a break people? There's no need to get all up in arms over the fact that Walmart and Target are greeting people with, gasp!, "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas." Go »Mini-Rant: A Night At The Movies
The person next to me was not there to watch the film, but rather to rotate the contents of six paper bags. Go »Dangit!
Newest goo! Totally asinine guess! Realized I was wrong after I'd had the guess confirmation thingy! Go »Why Squeezeable Bottles Suck....
Scott's right, it would be hard to get tuna into them. But why oh why oh why oh why must they design those bottles to be so evil? You squeeze and squeeze them, and they only make farting sounds. Go »I Hate Pigeons (And You Should Too)
Pigeon - An overweight urban dove with an iridescent neck and funky little head movements, commonly imitated by dancing humans. Why you should hate them : Their cooing sends a dread through all humans, because if you can hear it, it is probably near enough to be decorating your property with disease-ridden droppings. There is no escaping them, as they inhabit cities world-wide. Go »
