Irritations

[c.d.]

My local library upgraded their computer system. It took forever to get the book I ordered. Picked it up today and there was a big hassle with my library card not working. Finely get it home to discover that the type is so effing small I can't read it even with my glasses on.

Ok, I made that last one up. How surprised would you have been if it was true though.

You mean like Paris Hilton or River Phoenix? How about Armand Hammer?

Absolutely! Why are we feeding people’s phobias anyway?

We have them in the hospital I work at and I find that most of them work fine. If anything I find the toilet sensor flushers are too sensitive and flush at the slightest movement. I think in hospitals this technology makes sense.

Water faucets with touchless sensors. You have to move your hands back and forth under them about eighty times for them to work. If they work at all.

Irritations, erm folk who call 'taps' faucets. No seriously though those things are terrible, so are the ones you have to push down and by the time you get your hands under the water they have stopped flowing... grrrrr.

Cultural fads that go Mainstream. Good example: Fistbumping. NO ONE except for gangbangers and their groupies even knew what fistbumping even WAS. Then Obama does it during his campaign and within two weeks it has completely replaced handshakes and you're a racist so-and-so if you don't jump on the fad wagon.

Can't say this has penetrated the UK as much. We do it, but it's minor.

Why is beer so expensive???

Because camels are an Endangered Species. (VERY BAD joke)

Programs that run commercials from their competitors. Example: A local sports station has a particular credit union as a major sponsor. But a team that they run the games of has a different credit union sponsoring THEM. Result: You often get two commercials for different CUs consecutively. Where does the Conflict of Interest START?
