1. Those stupid wheelie shoes 2. People who inform me that those wheelie shoes are called Heelys (I don't care what they're called. I hate them and have no desire to purchase them.) 3. Emergency sirens being used as a sound effect on the radio while I'm driving (I keep looking for that ambulance and it's just not there.) 4. People begging on the corner while talking on cell phones (I'm pretty sure cellular service doesn't fit in with the basic level of Maslow's hierarchy of needs: breathing, drinking, eating, and excretion.) 5. Homeless people who decide that now is the appropriate time in their life to take on the responsibility of a pet 6. People who hover at my office door looking helpless and waiting for me to read their mind 7. People who won't take the time to email or call me to converse, but feel the need to forward me useless cyber-fluff (If you absolutely have to do it, at least run it through snopes.com first to save me the trouble of embarrassing you later.) 8. Cyclists who ride like they have a death wish and want me to be their executioner (I know, I get it, it's Austin and you worship Lance Armstrong, but that doesn't make you bulletproof. Use a little common sense people.) 9. People in the service industry who hate their job and want me to know it (The Grier says people like this "lack a sense of urgency." I think they should find a job that does not involve interacting with other humans.) 10. Spammers who attempt to hijack my blog with ads for everything from poker tips to porn to miracle cures for cancer (Seriously, I don't care how much you compliment my pithy posts...I will not let this crap get posted.)
