There are things that I love. There are things that I hate.  I know my last post was on things I hate that everyone loves, and this may seem in the same vein, but it's not.  This post is about things that make me very, very angry.  Anger and hate are totally different.  RIGHT?

That stupid emergency pull cord on the garage door opener that I hit EVERY SINGLE TIME I get out of the car.  Usually, I manage to avoid it getting into the car, but I can never quite figure out where it is when I get out.  And then flick. Right on my head.  I hate that thing.

Waiting for my top coat to dry when I do my nails. SO FRUSTRATING. What's even more anger-making? When I don't wait long enough and end up with smudges or bubbles or scrapes.  Grrrrrrr.

How excellent I am at procrastinating.  You'd think I'd be thrilled with myself for being so good at something.  I mean, I'm world class.  I'd be Olympic caliber, but I'm a pro and don't truck with amateurs. Which, actually, brings me to another thing that's anger inducing - the idiocy of having professional athletes play in the Olympics.  Seriously?  What part of AMATEUR ATHLETE do you not get?  And everybody's doing is is not an excuse.  You're better than that.


The inability of my body to regulate its temperature.  COME ON.  I cannot possibly be freezing and then 15 minutes later suddenly be able to melt ice cubes by standing near them.  That is just not right.  And it particularly makes me angry that it's always in that direction - freezing to core reactor meltdown.  Do you have any idea how hard it is to cool down?

What makes you angry? This list?

I know I'll probably lose a lot of people here and I'll come off as some kind of cranky old person [which I am, so whatever] but I can't handle hiding this anymore. Here is a list of things that people seem to love - TO LOVE! - that I cannot tolerate.  


The Office.  Seriously, that show is ridiculously bad.  IT IS NOT FUNNY. A single sidelong glance when someone is being a douche is funny.  A show built on the premise that that's all you have to do to bring the funny? Is lazy and un-funny.

As a subtopic - Steve Carrell.  Not funny on The Daily Show, not funny on The Office, not funny in The 40-Year Old Virgin or that execrable movie with Tina Fey.  In order to be deadpan funny, you have to be FUNNY.  CF: Leslie Neilsen.  You can't just mope around, idiot-like, shlumping in your every-day doofusness.  You need to be able to bring it. And he cannot.


As a further subtopic - Judd Apatow Movies. Just awful. Not funny, not smart, not "Oh, so true to life!" They are a masturbatory exercise by a guy who thinks I AM THEREFORE I AM FUNNY.  You. Are. Not.

Roasted Garlic. It tastes like burned feet. It ruins everything it touches.  Either use garlic, or don't, but stop making that awful, awful paste and slathering it on stuff.  It's not good.

What have you got, friends? Anyone left out?
