Everything is Annoying

When we were kids on Long Island, Jackie and I perfected the phrase, "Oh my god! She's soooo annoying!" We were terrible people.
Well, as a middle aged adult, things ain't so different. People are sooooo annoying. Most things are sooooo annoying. Being out in public is annoying. Call it misanthropy if you wish. And even if you won't admit it out loud because you don't want to be a terrible misanthropist too, you know you agree.
All I can say is if God made people in his image, he was an annoying motherfucker.
Individuals one on one I can deal with. When they join the masses however, they all become a sea of bad hair and bad clothes. Some become shrill and loud. Most become affected.
Sometimes things, in addition to people, annoy us as well. It's late morning, and so far today, here's a list of things that annoy me:
1. Waking up
2. Coffee pots that spill
3. The driver in front of me who was on the phone and made me miss the light
4. The rain
5. That I bought a bunch of things yesterday that I saw today at the dollar store for a dollar
6. Paris Hilton, Eliot Spitzer, and prostitutes
7. My hair
8. My mother (I haven't spoken to her today, but she's on my nerves.)
9. The guy who just sat at the table next to me in Panera
10. The gym, just because it exists and I have to use it

I abandoned the bubble recently because I felt crazy and exposed. But you know what? I need a venting venue, and I'm still convinced that someday I'll come up with something worth writing about and I'll be discovered. So I'm back. :)
Bubble on.

I was wondering where you were. I missed the part where you thought we didnt read you.
I admit, I don't read everyday, but I catch up whenever I can.
To the list, I would like to emphasize THE RAIN.
