That's why I don't do them.  And my wife keeps yelling at me to get off my lazy ass.

Y'know what really grinds my gears?

Jag-offs at the dog park who let their belligerent mutant beasts menace and intimidate my poor old big dumb golden retriever who wouldn't hurt a fly. They just sit there and let their dog bark, growl, snap, etc. at my dog without even a "Fido, leave him alone!"

You can't do that at the dog park down here in N'awlins because of the coyotes running loose, and......and one got a chihuahua

This Bacardi commercial I saw. It claims we INVENTED light. Which is wrong, and incredibly stupid.

I dislike people who's dog is obviously ready to attack me and they say "ahhhh don't worry, he's just playin...".

Or "He's never bitten anyone."  Yeah, no sh!t, nobody would be stupid enough to get within ten feet of him.

People who say the Green Lantern is THE WORST MOVIE EVER!!!!

Yikes...
First off, it's not that bad. It has Ryan Reynolds so you have to be prepared for a little rubbishness.
But C'mon, people...

Its better than Candyman 3

Green Lantern trolls are really getting to me at the moment.
I need to be the bigger man and not let them get to me.

People just dropping by my house unexpectedly. I know a few people who do this. They always come right when I'm in the middle of something either watching a movie, working (I work from my room), or working on any of my wiritng projects.

This happened again today. Literally a second after I woke up a friend of mine dropped by without warning ringing the doorbell. I had some things I needed to get done today. A simple drive turned into 6 hours in a car that has no air conditioning and I basically wasted my day most of my day.

Hence why I tened to avoid friends in the offline life.

I just wanted a cup of sugar.

But seriously, the car troubles seem to evolved into Carmageddon, and i can tell you at least your not in Dallas where it is HOTTER than Phoenix...There's a problem here!

I'm really sick of hearing metalheads both on forums and on youtube comments condemn aspiring vocalists just because they cup the microphone. 

As a vocalist, I find that whenever I participate in a jam session, cupping helps me sound more audible above the intense volume of the other instruments (especially the drums). My voice doesn't sound "distorted, muddy and crappy" as the anti-mic cuppers like to protest. In fact, my vocals sound much more clear, coherent and even menacing when I use the technique.

If you can cup the mic and make it sound good, then good for you! As for the whiners, I'd like to quote Necrobutcher in his drunken interview in "Metal: A Headbanger's Journey" because it sums up what I feel about the haters:

"Who are they? Which one? Who the f**k are you talkin' to? F**k them."

Small talkers...aka the people who just feel a need to say something to you just to say something.  I know I must have brought this up before:

Monday Morning: Them:  "Hey man!  Ah man, I hate Mondays..."  Me: "Yep"
Thursday:  Them: "Only two days left til the weekend!"  Me: "Yep"
Friday: Them: "Hoorday its Friday!"  Me: "Yep"

Or  if you're walking in with food at lunchtime: Them: "Ahhhh lunchtime huh!?"   Me: "Yep"

Or if nothing else fails:  Them: "Man how bout that weather..."  Me: "Yep..."

What I hate is when those types of people get offended by an exchange like that. I have, in a couple of cases, actually had someone demanding to know why I hate them and why I'm so mean to them because..... I never say more than "good morning" to them before getting on with my work and leaving them to theirs. What the hell is that?

I show respect for people by giving them their personal space and minding my own business unless something compels me to do otherwise. Personally, I get annoyed when I'm trying to do something and somebody wants to stand around gabbing about nothing in particular. Nothing wrong with exchanging pleasantries, but be considerate enough to let me get back to work. That's one of the reasons I closed my retail store.
