With all this heat and rain along with the damn pandemic I’ve discovered just how many things there are that annoy me. I won’t complain about wearing masks or being locked in my home like a prisoner because those things are absolutely necessary. As I began to compile my list it just kept growing and growing. Here they are.

• People who wait in a long checkout lines and then can’t find their checkbook or credit card.
• People who are constantly late (I hate them).
• Commercials that are so much louder than the TV shows.
• Grocery shopping carts with a bad wheel.
• People who chit-chat with a cashier when there’s a long line behind them waiting and waiting.
• TV shows and commercial ads with ringing phones, which make you  think the sound is coming from your house.
• Waiters/waitresses with dirty fingernails.
• TV shows where people are speaking to Alexa which in turn has my Alexa bugging me.

The more I think about this list the longer it gets.  I’m going to keep on rolling and hopefully I’ll find the end.

• Stepping on a wet spot with my socks on.
• Drivers who won’t turn right on red.
• Being asked for my account number after I already entered it using the keypad on my phone.
• Celebrities preaching to me about politics or anything else.
• People saying  “What’s up?” instead of saying “hi or hello”.
• The lame-ass naming of celebrity couples.
• Suburban kids who think they’re gangstas.
• Rappers who thank God and their mothers at awards ceremonies.

Still going strong but I seem to be feeling a little better by unburdening myself like this.

• When someone blows their nose in your presence and then proceeds to look at the results.
• Flood pants on men (even stupid hipsters).
• People who don’t listen when you are talking to them.
• Using the toilet paper down to the last few squares without getting a new roll.
• People abbreviating words when they speak (Rachael Ray).
• Rude people talking at movies (you know who you are).
• Barking dogs.
• Having to explain the same thing more than once to the same person.
• People who don’t flush the toilet.
• When coffee spills out of the top drinking hole of your cup at Dunkin Donuts.
• Anyone who can’t speak a complete sentence without using the word “like” five or six times.
• People who can’t use any pronoun except the word “dude”.
• People who are constantly touching their genitals (men and boys).
• People who bring babies to movie theaters.

I’ve got to stop this foolishness.  If I add just one more item to this list I’ll start annoying myself and for some reason that just seems wrong.  I think it’s time for all of you to make your own list.  It’s annoying that you haven’t completed one already.
