Things that make me crabby ...

1) Totally WRONG usage of quotation marks and apostrophes.

Wrong. Just totally WRONG!

2) Luxury SUVs. I mean, really. Isn't the purpose of an SUV is to haul stuff - like camping equipment, wet dogs, compost, etc. It's supposed to get dirty. It's supposed to be lived in. What is the point of having a huge vehicle upholstered in light colored LEATHER? (And don't get me started on the environment destroying aspect of the whole SUV movement!)

3) Soccer Moms who don't know how to drive their luxury SUVs. All right. This one really pisses me off. If you can't drive the frickin' automobile, stay off the road so those of us who know how to drive can get to where we need to go. And no, just because you stopped your vehicle there does not mean you are in an actual parking spot! Sheesh!

4) Grumpy waitresses. For some reason, I've never had a grumpy waiter. Just lucky, I guess. I went out last weekend and the waitress we had was a) barely dressed and b) had an attitude larger than Manhattan Island. I call it the "I-really-don't-want-a-tip" attitude. Huffy and all put out. Look, Chickee, I'm sorry you aren't thrilled to be working tonight. Believe me, I'm not thrilled you're working either. Just do your job, don't give me attitude and I won't give you attitude. Capeesh?

5) Bo lost!! Oh, woe, oh, Bo! You'll always be my American Idol. And at least you got to sing with Lynard Skynard. I never thought I was a Southern Rock kinda girl until you came on the scene. *Sigh*

6) Thongs. I'm not explaining this one.

7) Brittany Spears. No explanation needed on this one, either.

8) Chain e-mails. I don't care how many of these darn things I get, I'm not going to win the lottery if I send them out to 10 people in the next 5 minutes. It just doesn't work that way!

9) People who don't understand personal space and/or other social graces. So there is this guy I see almost everyday when I'm running for my bus in the evening. And I do mean running. My bus leaves at 5:55 and my train usually gets in around 5:53. I have figured out where in the train I need to sit in order to get out the door, into the station, down the escalator, out of the station, across the parking lot, across a street, and across the bus terminal to the bus. This guy hollers out to me, while I'm running down the sidewalk to try to make the bus "How was your day? How is your boyfriend? How was work?" etc. etc. When I miss the bus and have to wait for the 6:10 or when (gasp) the train is early and my usual bus isn't there, this guy comes right up to me, invades my personal space and starts talking away. Yes, I know he's not all there and he's really a nice guy and blah blah blah. I am perfectly nice to him when he's there (and I've learned way TMI about this dude) but it still makes me crabby.

10) Cleaning the litter box (oh come on, I had to bring the cats in here somehow!)
