Just a few things that jerk my chain...

I've been having a banner week (not), and there are a few things that have been annoying me.
Some of them are things that always piss me off, some of them are just recent additions and grievances.
But anyway...

I'm sick of the Subway 5$ footlong commercial jingle. I've got to the point that I am scrambling over pillow and magazine to grab my remote and MUTE!!

Ditto the commercial (for I don't even know what) where the little girl gives her dad a little stuffed monkey to take on his worldly business travels. He holds it up in front of Big Ben and other touristy spots (like, is he actually working?) while some stupid 'apple of my eye' song plays in the background. Ok, it was cute the first time... but after the 437th time (usually in one evening) it's on.. I'm ready to start pulling out my hair.

My neighbor down the street a bit has started letting her little pug dog poop in our yard.

People who leave carts in random spots in the parking lot. WHY WHY WHY can't people take their carts back to the designated cart caddy-thing? I mean... how lazy are you people? Arrrgghh!

I don't like the way the half-moon shaped ice cubes that my fridge makes slide down my glass and into my mouth so quickly without me being able to stop them. They aren't big enough and some day I'm going to choke. On ice.

People who drive 30mph in a 55mph zone. This happened to me twice, just today. Ironically it was the same person both times. Small town. Go figure.

The local theater in town, defunct and closed for - oh I don't know - over 25 years probably, is in the process of being torn down. Whoever has the removal contract has been pissing around forever. They started in fall I think, and I haven't seen anyone there in weeks. It's half torn down, with a huge heap of junk/bricks/wood/drywall & crap in big trash binder that covers part of the sidewalk as well. It is the biggest freakin' eyesore within 50 miles of here. WTF?

Speaking of town, the water here has been...shall we say dirty... for over a week. Last week sometime I went to take a bath, and the water was so yellowy and murky that I had to clean the tub immediately afterwards. I've cleaned it three times in like, 5 days.

Which probably doesn't help my non-resolving back issue. My back has been bothering me for over two weeks. Just when I think it is going away, it comes back in full force again.
It is not the first time I've dealt with back pain. I've had three or four episodes over many years. Seems to pop up every once in awhile. No rhyme or reason to it. Whatever.

Why wasn't 'House' on Monday night? Sooooo very irritating.

Our washer died. We bought a new one. It's a piece of crap. The end.

Please let the whole 'Taylor Swift phenomenon' end soon, I'm begging here.
Thankfully, I'll at least get to imagine her body on the slab - she plays a dead girl on CSI thursday night. No ill will towards the girl, I'm just sick of her. Like the 5 dollar foot long crap.

In other ridiculous celebrity tidbits, who's with me when I say could Rhianna be any stupider than she is to go back with her boyfriend Chris Brown, who a few weeks ago pummelled her face quite efficiently. Duh.
I don't even know one song either one of them sings, but I don't discriminate. If you're dumb, you're dumb.

I hate Gus, the second most famous groundhog in Pennsylvania. Hate him.
Scratch this, you measly rodent.

Ok, I'm done ranting for now.
