Like it or not ladies and gentlemen, there’s nothing like a groggy Monday morning to inspire cynical blog material.
Granted, a Monday morning usually doesn’t inspire a whole lot of any material for me short of the brilliant idea to go back to sleep.
None the less, I had an epiphany this morning while sitting there on the edge of the bed trying to wake up. I should list the things that generally irritate me or drive me nuts. After all, getting up on a Monday morning isn’t the most pleasant of experiences. The hope here is that by airing out my pet peeves and making them public, maybe I could make a concerted effort to rid myself of those particular demons.
Yeah, probably not.
So with that, I give you a list of things that irritate me in no particular order.
- A pickle on the side of anything
- Pickles included
- My OCD
- On air witty banter amongst newscasters on the local channels
- The Red Hot Chili Peppers
- Those pants
- Whoever keeps adjusting the arms on my chair in Cubeville when I’m not there needs to cut it out
- Selective moral outrage
- Knowing that the vet who takes care of my beloved dogs (and he does a pretty good job at it) is an Aggie
- Sports fans whose three favorite teams are the Yankees, the Lakers, and the crackhead debutantes who play out of Dallas. (Sorry people. I have an autocorrect on my computer which updates automatically whenever I type that football team’s name).
I’m sure there are other items which serve to irritate me. Maybe I’ll post a follow up later on, but probably not.
