Things that I hate at the moment

I read a study that says expressing your feelings, even if to no one, can actually keep you healthier (mentally and physically), which is evidently applies to the blog craze. (this is good because no one reads this thing) Anyway, since I haven't written anything for a while, I don't want to get sick this summer, I am going to mention a few things that are bothering me at the moment.

Americans who feel compelled to mention how much better the British version of The Office is whenever anyone even passingly mentions the show. I understand that British people need to do such things. I mean, could you imagine a proper British person claiming that a foreign version of anything British is superior? Look, I have seen both versions, and I may even prefer the British one, but there's no reason for an American to interrupt someone with this bullshit every time they want to talk about Jim and Pam's marriage. Just don't do it.

Baseball. I just really hate baseball. Is it the fact that each game lasts three hours and includes a grand total of five minutes of exciting action? Or is it the fact that there are 160 meaningless games in a season, each including at least nine innings, each of which include at least six at bats, each consisting of one to 20 meaningless pitches. Or is it the fact that it at any given time, 80% of the players on the field are basically superfluous (you like how I slipped the name of the blog in there) and are adjusting their overly tight pants. You decide.

People who walk in front your moving car, and once they notice that they've done so, move out of your way at an ever slower more relaxing pace. I just hate this one. It's as if these people believe that either I was sent to this planet to watch their sluggish rear ends slink across pavement OR one meter per minute is their maximum ground velocity. In either case, I hate it. Get a Segway or something.

Commercials that are an order of magnitude louder than the actual program on at that time. I think this one is pretty self explanatory. And annoying.

Voicemails. I apologize to those that have left them to me in the past, but mentally I just can't navigate the "You. have. five. new. voice. messages. The. first. message...received. on. June. fifteenth..." gauntlet anymore. That process should be the entire iPhone ad.
