It’s not that I’ve become a complete crank. But these things frost my cookies in no particular order:
Packaging that requires a blow torch to open.
Warm milk.
People who stick to the political party line no matter what.
Beach front stores that close at 5 p.m. with throngs of tourist dollars still moving about.
Watching a gallon jug of juice disappear in one day.
Clerks carrying on conversations with each other while I wait.
People who race to get in front of me on the road, only to reduce their speed by 10 mph.
Internet outages.
A son who considers the whole world his garbage can.
Long lines.
Stale doughnuts.
Loud side conversations during a public address.
When somebody dumps $5 in dimes on the counter ahead of me.

You are far too nice to me. Seriously… I am going to start thinking I am funny or something.

Mmmmm …. frosted cookies.
How about toys that break the first time you use them or
"automatic" water faucets that refuse to turn on without some sort of elaborate choreographed hand movements.

[...] week or so ago, blogosario Mike Henneke compiled a list of his pet peeves. I wracked my syrup-sloshed sponge for a passel of my own and came up with a cool zillion, but only [...]
