In keeping with the blog title, i suppose i should occasionally report some actual grievances. Plus, who doesn't love to read about
bloggers' utterly banal daily irritations?
Commies, that's who.
Pet peeve number one:
those effing Nextel-style walkie-talkie "push-to-talk" cell phones. I can only think of two scenarios in which the
walkie-talkie mode is appropriate:
- Working in some kind of warehouse or similar environment where for whatever reason you can't hold a phone to your head or strap on an earpiece;
- I can't actually think of another scenario.
To everyone who uses such things on the street, on the train, in a bar, or anywhere other than the prototypical warehouse: i dislike you strongly. (I would have written "i hate you and i wish you were dead", but My Better Half doesn't like it when i talk like that.) I'm sure they've had to excavate a new circle of Hell by now for cell phone sins.

Do these phones honestly annoy you more than car alarms? i do recall you writing a threatening note to a certain car owner one evening...
Hey, i didn't say i was going to enumerate my peeves in descending order of peevitude.
