13 Stupid, Annoying Things
By Bernie on 02 Nov 2006
Actually there are more than 1300 hundred things that annoy me, so I will have to dole them out 13 at a time.
Here are 13 stupid things that annoy me:
1) Stupid Companies that don't give you a link where to buy their products. Here is SCO, the number one provider of UNIX® on Intel® platforms. Take a look at their site and tell me how one can buy their product?
2) Stupid companies that don't list their prices on their site. Take a look at OutlookSoft and see if you can get any idea whether this software costs a thousand bucks, a hundred-thousand or a million dollars. How about just giving me some kind of hint you retards!
3) Stupid companies that offer free blogging platforms that encourage criminals to open up thousands of splogs all with the same, worthless content clogging up search results, fouling comments and choking trackbacks on my blog. There's no shortage of sites with completely worthless content whose only purpose is ad-click revenues. There are some ways to flag blogspot splogs, but other platforms don't seem to care about splogs.
4) Adults who buy cigarettes for youngsters. When police see a 14 year old smoking why don't they ask them who bought the smokes for them? Prosecute the adults and kids won't have anything to smoke.
5) Morons who say, "You have no right to yell fire in a movie theater." Oh, yeah? What are you supposed to yell when the theater's on fire, "IT'S VERY HOT!"?
6) Idiots who see the DON'T START CROSSING SIGN but step into the street in front of your car anyway. And worse, they slowly mosey across. My advice if the light turns against you as you're crossing? Run you moron, run.
7) Cops who ask you if you know why they pulled you over. Why, don't they know? I like to give this reply, "Uh, the dead body in my trunk is leaving a trail of blood?"
8) idiots, and let's be bluntly honest here, they're usually immigrants or blacks, who talk loudly while watching a film. That's right, you selfish, rude sons of bitches, I paid nine bucks just so I could listen to you explain the movie to me.
9) Businesses that do not accept credit cards. Why stop there? Why not put up a sign "We do not Accept $5 bills"? What, too much work for you? Perhaps you should have gotten into a business that does not require you to deal with customers.
10) Stupid restaurant owners who hire waiters that no one can understand. I loathe listening to waiters who rattle off today's specials in a heavy Bangladeshi accent.
11) Idiots who point at their wrist while asking for the time. Do I point at my penis when I need the men's room? Either point or ask - don't do both.
12) Morons who still use checks to pay for their groceries. Get a debit card and swipe. It's faster and safer. Anyone can steal your checks. At least your debit card uses a pin.
13) Britney Spears types who marry the first idiot lead guitar from Guns and Hoes. With all the money these women make they could afford to date or marry someone whose gene pool carries DNA with an IQ over 90.

- LOL, I would have a hard time listing only 13 things too! :-) Great list!
- LOL, especially #6 (really, really tempting ;)) and #11. Thanks for stopping by ours as well - have a lovely day!
- you are HYSTERICAL..seriously the watch thing..you were right on with that! Thanks for making me smile this am!
- People who cut you off on the freeway. Yay! You gained 3.4 seconds on your trip and nearly killed us both. Hurrah! My TT is up.
- I hate administration folks who DENY my child a free, appropriate education! Or think they know what is appropriate for my child, based on their four hours of observation. Sorry, I'm facing a loooooooong day today. THIS is one of those days I'd run over said pedestrians. Good thing I'm not driving to the meeting, eh? I've posted my Thursday Thirteen, too. Enjoy! ;)
- The problem with pointing at ones crotch to communicate something is that it just leaves too many possible meanings out there. One would have to at least combine the pointing with some other body language: "I gotta go pee-pee, where are the toilets?" That only really works when combined with a grimacing, little-kid, embarassed look and hopping from leg to leg. "Your fly is open." That is best conveyed with a coy, embarassed look (ideally with the other hand's closed finger tips brought to touch the mouth). Sometimes locale is the determinative factor. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Goes with a rascally, eyebrow waggling, smirky, come-hither look, while at a gay bar. D. Ox
- I wrote SCO a letter to find out where one can buy their products. I indicated to them that this information doesn't appear to be readily available on their website. :-)
