I swear, when I'm driving, everyone is just lying in wait to cut me off or slow me down.

I didn't know you were back in Pittsburgh.

Sitting at your desk looking out the window at beautiful sunshine Monday through Friday only to wake up to torrential rains on Saturday morning.

That looks like those "rental" or shared use bikes that are all over cities. Granted, it's China who doesn't have a great track record for conservation but I had been wondering what the plan is for when those things go out of useful service.

And those motorized scooters.

1- Wind Chimes. I hate the sound of wind chimes. It is a reminder of how windy it is which leads me to #2
2. Wind (Don't get it confused with a breeze)
3. When people talk/write and don't use a verb.
4. Braggers
5. People who over use the word absolutely.
6. People who drive a motocycle and ref up the motor to be seen.
7. Fireworks when it isn't July 3rd or 4th.
8. People who wait at the cash register to dig out their lose change.
9. People who have been in line awhile and then get to the counter and still don't know what they want to order.
10. People who stand in front of the soda machine when you want to fill up your soda.
11. Mosquitos
12. The smell of an onion

I seriously tried to make a joke about this and could not write a sentence without a verb.
Must be a crazy person if you can do that!

:D

Went into Advance Auto Parts to buy a battery for the boy's car. They told me that they needed my email address for the warranty info. They then enrolled me in something called "Speed Perks" rewards without my consent and I have gotten 18 emails in 5 days.

And they said it would take four to six weeks to unsubscribe.

After the lawyers, marketing people are next.

I had someone add my email address to a few related marketing companies back in the day.
It was obvious who it was, as the spam started right after contacting them from a clean email address (my work address), and the font for all of the spam was the same multi-coloured myspace bullshit.

Fortunately, the email was their main one (admin@whatever), so I spent an entire day subscribing that email address to every single political, religious, pron, penis pill signup list that I could find. It must have been close to 100.
search history be damned, I was on a mission that day.

The person who steps into the subway car but then decides to do a survey of the area as the rest of us are trying to get in the car behind him and the doors start closing.

That same person who gets off the escalator and once again, decides he needs a panoramic view before taking another step and then gives dirty looks to people behind him as they start bumping into him.

The guy at the pub that puts on $20 worth of music on the juke box and decides he needs to sing along with every song.....poorly.

People who complain about trade deadline deals to me. I am not making any of the decision so there is nothing I can do. And just because I cheer for the team, warts and all, does not mean I should bear the brunt of fair-weather fans anger.

1a) People who do not understand deadline deals, particularly when making moves for the future. Jorge Lopez is a great guy and great story and I hope he does well, but his is 29 and this is the first year in his career he has an era under 6.00. If you are expecting Josh Bell in return, that's on you not the team.

People who hurry me when I am scanning a subway car for a seat as I enter it. Or deciding which way to go at the bottom of the escalator.

Serious weather event happening here today. I wanted to bring weather channel up on one of my monitors so I could keep an eye on the heaviest part of the cell on the radar to know when we might have to head to the basement.

I can't look at Weather Channel unless I enable ads in my browser.
