Weekly Annoyances

Is it just me or is there more than usual idiocy present in the world this week? Somehow more things than usual are just annoying me this week. It clearly can't be me, so it must be an increase in the global annoyance factor. For example, all of the following have been making me crazy this week:

1. People who insist on driving below the speed limit in the fast lane. Hello!! It's called the fast lane for a reason! It isn't called the "5-10 miles below the speed limit lane"!). Get over. NOW!! This one has been so prevalent this week that I suspect a conspiracy is afoot.

2. Bosses who make ridiculous demands. This week I have been asked to find a needle in a haystack (actually, I wasn't really asked, but commanded to find it). And it isn't even certain that the needle is there. Really. I've been researching an issue all week, can't find anything relevant and yet the boss continues to insist that there must be something out there. What I want to say is "Good luck finding it because I can't," but we all know that isn't an option. I guess it's back to the haystack for me.

3. People who insist on parking the HUGE oversized SUVs in compact parking spaces. You wanted the huge car - live with it. Preferably in a parking space that is actually big enough for it! (And no, the Lexus does not qualify as huge!) Again, this is so prevalent this week that I think there may be an overall plot.

4. People who block their numbers on caller ID. Come on. Is your identity really top secret? Actually, I don't really mind this one all that much. It just means we won't answer and you will be screened by the answering machine.

5. Clients who fight with me. Look - I've got enough on my hands fighting with the lawyers who are suing you. I really don't need or want to fight with you too. It doesn't help and really just pisses me off!!! Not a good plan. Good news for me and bad news for you is that clients get billed for time spent on the phone fighting with me. At least I don't have to fight with them for free.

6. People who don't update their blogs and thereby entertain me. (Sorry, couldn't resist!)

As you can see, I am profoundly glad it is Friday.

Feel free to add your own annoyances!!
