Recently certain events forced me to acknowledge that I am, indeed, getting older. Rather than dwell on the negative I've decided to embrace the positive. Namely, I've determined I'm old enough to have angry opinions about things that don't really matter. So in the spirit of being positive I bring a partial list of things that piss me off for no good reason:
1) Styrofoam packing peanuts – You open a box and they go everywhere, they take up tons of space in the garbage and static makes them stick to my arms. I can only assume they are trying to kill me.
2) Raw tomatoes on my sandwich – Blecch! The taste makes me gag and the consistency is like mutilated garden snails. I've spent the better part of my life struggling to keep raw tomatoes off my sandwiches.
3) Bluetooth headsets – Really it's LOUD people on bluetooth headsets; If you can't adjust the volume of your conversation to the ambient level of the room then go outside to take calls. In my day we had words for people who walked around in public talked loudly to no one in particular.
4) John Mayer – I admit he's a talented musician but lately he's been freaking me out. Anyone who loses Jennifer Aniston over a Twitter addiction is a wacko. I can only assume he's the advance scout of an alien invasion force.
5) American Idol everywhere – I don't know how they managed to make their show so important to everyone but why can't I listen to the morning radio news without hearing about the latest manufactured drama from this crap-o-rama? The “NPR” button on my radio is wearing out from all angry channel changing.
