This is not one of my favorite times of the year. Summer is ending, skies are gray, rain is cold, leaves are dropping, and the runup to the end-of-year holidays has begun. A little depressing to say the least. I can deal with depression but it’s also very annoying. I thought a quick compilation of my major annoyances would be in order and here they are.

• Leave it up to the money hungry retailers to have Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas merchandise already displayed. IT’S OCTOBER YOU MORONS!

• People who insist on talking over me during a conversation makes me want to scream. JUST PLAIN RUDE!

• Every Wendy’s that lists coffee on the menu and then makes me wait until they make a pot. Every time! WORST KIND OF CUSTOMER SERVICE!

• The person in front of me at the express checkout line with an entire cart load of merchandise. ASSHOLE!

• Black Friday was always annoying, but this year should be priceless. They’ve begun advertising it already. CORPORATE GREED!

• Anyone still writing checks at the register in a food store. SHEER STUPIDITY!

• Anyone who has a debit card but can’t figure out how to use it. EXASPERATING!

• People who claim to have something really important to tell me, then send a four-word text message. CALL ME!

• Any person, male or female, who is more than 30 pounds overweight and attempting to slim down by wearing skinny jeans. SO BAD!!

• People who continually bitch and complain about their food and service in a restaurant. STAY HOME!

• Twenty or more minutes of every hour for moronic ads on every conceivable type of device. JUST KILL ME NOW!

• City workers and their gigantic snowplows destroying at least one of my mailboxes every year. IGNORAMUSES!

• People who insist on telling me all about their child who is an honor student somewhere. I DON’T CARE!

• Rear window decals displaying family members and pets. LAME!

A RANT ALWAYS MAKES ME FEEL BETTER
