Things that annoy me

I hate that second one two.

Other than that, *hugs*. People are annoying.

People with loud voices on their cellulars.
News pundits more wrong than right who stistill have their jobs.
Hip-hop/gangsta' coverings -- so esthetically unpleasing.
Agents who never respond.
Agents/publishers who "lose" manuscripts.
All who do not appreciate curmudgeonry.

Okay, I'm in. Things that annoy me:

I have a very young sounding voice. Too many times when I'm on the phone, the other person treats me like a little girl. "Sweetie," "Hon," "Honey," (ugh, I'm not your sweetie or hon or honey) and they just don't take me seriously. Even when I try to sound firm.

Calling a toll-free number and getting the run-around by a computer. And when I push "0" several times (it used to let you get through to a human), it just says, "I don't understand, please try again later. Good-bye." Click.

Being too short to reach the high-up shelves in a supermarket where someone on a step-stool or a tall person stacked the boxes (or cans) too high and I have to stand on a lower shelf to reach up and pray I don't get killed by the cans or smoothered by the deluge of boxes on my head.

And, oh yeah, what Don said: people on their cell phones talking really loud. Do they really think they're that important or what?

Scarlet, I know these things annoy you, but cheer up! They might never happen.

People who walk around using those Blue Tooth things on their ear, and look like they're talking to themselves. They look ridiculous.

And if an older guy with gray hair uses it and he's not talking, it looks like a hearing aide.

People who don't let me OUT of the elevator before they cram their way IN.

People who wear ski lift tags on their jackets long after their vacation ended. "Look! I went to Vail!"

• People who say to me in all seriousness, "Stop buying books! You buy too many!" First of all, you can NEVER have too many books. Secondly, it's my money. Third, piss off. You try to stop me buying books, I cut your face.

• Do the peolpe who say this have any "bad habits?" "Stop buying beers! You buy too many" "Stop buying cigarrettes! You buy too many!"

There was one guy at the job ten years ago. He was even my supervisor. I could have had him fired, or at least caused some work trouble for his sorry ass. I really should have, he deserved it totally.

bank customers should be free to conduct their business at any time during business hours.

perhaps you should do your banking during the times you mentioned.

Lists of things that annoy me.

Cell phones are just plain annoying no matter where. I am driving long distances on major roads and expressways pulling heavy equipment. You can't stop on a dime, but you wouldn't believe how many people just cut you off, not even looking because they are busy talking on the phone.

One guy did stop his car to talk one day. He stopped it right in the middle of the lane on a two-way road. We had to go around.

I also hate cops who ride right behind you and you know darn well they're running your plate to see if they hit gold. Where are they when people are sashaying all over the highway, or parking in the middle of the lane?

I was reading letters recently sent to a newspaper about ways to curb traffic problems in the area where I live. Someone suggested "old people" should not be allowed to drive during rush hour, thus reducing traffic congestion by at least half.

I figured we should just kill those old bastards and be done with them once and for all.

I can't decide if it's smirking at me in condescending derision or in a "you and me, we get it" kinda way.

Plus those flies buzzing around it seriously annoying.

Stalkers annoy me also. (See above)
