Things That Annoy Me Beyond Belief:

1. Creed. I hate their music. I'm tired of trying to avoid them at all costs because they are so overplayed on each radio station. And I'm tired of hearing about how "hot" their singer is. I've seen his fugliness. Blech. He's hit the ugly tree on every branch as he was coming down. Leave the music biz for those truly talented already - get out!

2. Anime. I don't get it what so ever. I know some people are into it, but it just bores the hell out of me which has eventually made me annoyed by it.

3. Oprah, Meryl Streep, & Russell Crowe . There's something about all of them that makes me want to claw their eyes out or mine. They all make my skin crawl. And really they should just bugger off.

4. The cotton in a bottle of over-the-counter medication. I've heard that the cotton is only there so that it prevents the bottle from rattling. But really who the fuck cares if it rattles or not? It's not like its actually protecting the pills what so ever, because it isn't. It's just filler and completely stupid.

5. Snotty salesgirls at chi-chi-frou-frou boutiques. They're selling me clothes, not their attitude.

6. Toilet paper put in wrong so that it starts from the bottom of the roll, not the top.

7. Banners online. The 'some words from our sponsor' banners kill me. They pop up all the fucking time. Some times a girl just wants to look at stuff without that shit popping up all the time.

8. People who change their opinions from day to day based on what's popular are stupid. Just as annoying are the people who go around all the time pretending to be something they aren't. So sad and pathetic.

9. Those intrinsically mean people who take advantage of my naivet� and trusting nature to lie to me. Sometimes this has only minor consequences. In any case, I don't like it. It bothers me.

10. Cashiers who give change bills-first, then place the coins on top of the bills so that they slide off and go everywhere.

11. Independent labels in film & music. Well not them per se. But the elitism that they portray or that the media portrays of them. It's annoying because it feels as if they are indulging in the very thing that they stand against which is commercialism and prefabrication. *grrr*

12. The subscription cards that fall out of magazines when your flipping through them. How many does one magazine need?

13. Waking up early when I went to bed late and not being able to get back to sleep. It's just wrong and I want to scream at my body clock for doing this to me at times when sleep is so desperately needed.

14. People that clap at the end of movies.

15. Spam annoys me. I hate getting tons of useless email in my inbox. It ticks me off when they tell you to reply with "remove" to be removed from their list and when you do it is returned undeliverable. I get even more annoyed when they continue to send the same email. If I didn't jump at their first offer, what makes them think I will jump at their next dozen offers?

16. The endless jokes circulating the web that eventually finds their way to my inbox. I don't care how funny they are I just don't have the time to read them all. Joke forwarders suck. I�ve been known to do this before but I�ve stopped. I�m sure we all know someone that forward�s all of the jokes someone else has forwarded to them. They spend most of their free time emailing jokes, mostly because they like to email but have nothing of actual worth to say. *Urgh*

17. The procession of celebrities pushing phone service�s. Why take the recommendation of a celebrity to save money? These people munch on caviar and drink bolly. Being thrifty is not a Hollywood trait unless it is cast in a script.

18. When someone blows their nose and then looks at the Kleenex afterwards. It's disgusting. And what are they checking for? Did they blow their brain out? Is it good luck to view the snot? Does snot carry the answer to life?

19. People who are absolutely clueless about something, yet have a very well-established opinion (a bigoted opinion) regarding it and even give advice about it.

20. People who are anti-meat eaters that blabber on about how I'm a "murderer" just because I eat meat. Do I call them a murderer because they don't wear all nylon? No! And whose to say what they aren't murders too? Maybe carrots scream an inaudible death cry as they are pulled from their Mother Earth. Who knows?

I know there's more out there but I'm not going to be going there. Had I, this list would be in the high hundreds.

Snooches
