Things that make me cranky

[featherynscale]

Listing meme picked up from kcwitch. Original instructions were to bold the things in the list that piss you off, and then add three of your own. The list is getting long though, so I thought I'd just list the things that piss me off, and then add mine. And then, you know, add commentary (italicized).

So there.

2. detailed voicemails instead of email
5. holier-than-thou vegetarians
6. Inappropriate Capitalization (also, complete lack of capitalization)
8. extolling of childrens' wide-eyed innocence
9. lack of continuity in movies/TV (Except in generally bad film, where it's a bonus)
26. people who reek of stale cigarette smoke all the time
30. being touched by strangers (without permission) (bonus points if they're in an altered state and I'm not)
31. Rabid know-it-all fanboys with superiority complexes. (bonus points for "lifestyle" fanboys - i.e. those who wear the Star Trek uniform to places other than costume parties.)
44. People who think that having a different point of view makes you automatically totally unAmerican.
45. Media pavlovian tactics designed to make us react a certain way to certain stimuli: like 9/11
46. Parents who allow their children to act up in public places.
52. Having to repeat myself.
53. Text messenger talk in any other situation than when it's actually being typed on a pager/cell phone/other device with very tiny keyboard and screen.
54. People who are genuinely deeply interested in celebrity marriages.

No, seriously. Walter Koenig, who played (plays) Chekov, was a major crush of my 1960's pre-adolesecence. He was right up there with Bobby Sherman. Come to think of it, he still looks damn hot for a 67-year-old man. Oh Lord, I'm weak. Best not get me started on Mr. Chekov.
