This makes me want to kill. I stare at the offending individual with a look of pure hatred. What I think is even worse are people who need to vocalize their enjoyment of eating with "mmmmm's," and "ahhhhh's." So fucking disgusting. Oh, and the clanking of silverware on flatware, or, on one's own teeth. Fuck. I really, really, really, really, hate noisy eaters.


Early this morning, I put on my barely-civil face and asked The World's Worst Group Member to please chew her gum quietly while we prepared for our presentation. There may have been glowering on my part.

Like she needed to do one more goddamn thing to make me hate her more. Gum. I fucking hate gum. Chew with your friggin' mouth closed. Um, please.

The bulk of my semester will be over in six hours. I anticipate my humanity returning, but I may just morph into a (apparently I can not be a pterodactyl 'cause of some recent creepy clip) grumpy T-Rex. This would still be an improvement on my current demeanor.


I had to move back in with my parents for a little while, and have a 6 year old sister. She just lost a tooth and has a retainer for some reason. The doctor has told her to slurp often to get rid of the drool that the thing is causing. I love her to death, but fear that she will make my head explode.

if you have made the choice to continue smoking, that's fine, that's your choice. because of your choice to smoke, you often have to do it outside.

but just because you've made your choice to smoke (outside), you're not entitled to dispose of your cigarette butt/match/carton anywhere you please.

just because it is really little and consists of some paper, cotton (and unknowns) (which you presume are all easily biodegradable), your butt is still litter. it is literally waste. put out the light on the sole of your shoe and put it in a trash can or hold on to the fucking thing until you find a trash can.

i'm sorry you have to smoke outside and all, but watching you simply drop the thing on the sidewalk gets me to thinking of extinguishing/disposing of that butt in your nostrils.

Or just when someone asks you to explain a joke. It's never gonna be funny once you've explained it.

You're eight years old growing up in Austin without cable. It's summer. It's 2pm. There's a heat wave and it's too fucking hot to go outside. You're trying to find something on TV to watch, a cartoon or something.

But the only thing that's on is fucking "Mama's Family."

If I had to watch this show all the way through as an adult, I would probably assault someone.

That door? That door right there? we don't use that as a door! What the fuck were you thinking, using that door, anyhow?

It's a fucking door people! The only purpose it serves in this universe is to allow me to walk through it during your hours of operation!

i cannot for the life of me understand why people feel the need to hang these things:

truck nuts.

from the trailer hitch on their pickup trucks. serioiusly WTF?

why would you think that everybody else on the road wants to look at a giant set of rubber and plastic testicles?




and also, you fuckers who don't know how to use the url brackets. so when you post some freakishly long url it fucks up the whole page.

and i'm pretty sure at least one of you has the peeve of being referred to as "fucker." you fuckers piss me off too.

it drives me crazy when people put a "background" in an email. i should say that i don't mind if people want to put in a "background" if i'm able to easily read their email. it bothers me when they place a picture of their recent trip to namibia or a repeated thumbnail image of their child playing banjo, so that i can't easily read what they're attempting to convey.

i'm happy to look at a picture of your shiny new hummer. i'm just having trouble reading the yellow font as it passes over your driver's side door.

"this site requires flash version X and/or internet explorer version Y"

oh, and google adsense. 80% of those ads are for naive internet users only, it is kind of impressive/sad that so much of google's revenue comes from the adsense program. sometimes i click these ads then hit the back button just because i know they get charged per click (rather than per "lead"). the people who advertise there tend to be scammers for the most part, so i don't feel bad about running up their bill. but you can only do this once within like an hour time frame, or google logs them as invalid clicks.

People stood still talking or just waiting around right outside of shop entrances blocking access to and from the shop building. Get out of the fucking way you inconsiderate fucks.

Walking out of Wilkinsons today and there was a mother, a pram, two kids all stood just at the entrance, with loads of shopping bags dotted around them. Un-fucking-believable.

Advertising that asks questions:
* Where do you want to go today?
* What can brown do for you?
* The Chicago Tribune: What's inside for you?
* Where will it take you?

Waitstaff who ask "Are you still working on that," as if I'm some sort of eating machine.

Anyone who tells me to smile.

People who ask "how you doin'" with "I'm tired."

Introducing any sort of writing with "Ah, yes." So pompous.

Littering was mentioned, but it's a bigger problem. That problem is the attitude of "other people will deal with this for me."

People not returning shopping carts to the rack. Even more, people who put the two front wheels of the cart on the curb of the parking lot as if that counts because the cart doesn't roll around.

My wife and I have a list of cliches like "Why don't you tell us how you really feel" somewhere. At the top is when you're introduced to a group of people, and halfway through someone will say "there will be a test on this later!" Ha ha! Comedy!

People who use "literally" for emphasis.
