Pet Peeves

1) “Door Close” buttons on elevators that don’t work

2) Poorly done bridges in pop songs

3) Having to wait to pay for the food in restaurants. In a perfect world, you’d pay as soon as the food came so you could leave when you’re done.

4) Reporters who say “we’re following the story” when they really mean they’re hitting the Refresh button on The Drudge Report the same as you.

5) Bloggers who say “I reported” such and such when they just cut and pasted from an article online.

6) Books with prologues.

7) Refrigerator doors that keep closing on you when you’re getting something out. Stop helping me. I’ll close the door myself.

8) Drivers who treat a crowded, rush hour freeway like the Grand Prix, just to go from two cars behind you to two cars ahead of you.
