Irritations

Ah, you mean morons.

Yep. They simply couldn't get it into their heads that they had to obey Florida law.

Hello Herlock,

I am reminded of the story of Vlad the Impaler. Some dignitaries from another country came to see him. They were wearing hats. Vlad told them to take off their hats but they refused citing the customs of their country. So Vlad had their hats nailed to their heads.

You gotta like ole' Vlad. He knew how to get things done.

Commercial breaks that run the SAME commercial 3 or 4 times in one five-minute break.

[C. F. Leon]

Company spokespersons that really think that you give a **** about their character's personal lives.

[C. F. Leon]

People that habitually refer to celebrities by their first names- like they actually are friends with people that they've never come within 500 miles of or maybe saw at the concert from a mile away.

[C. F. Leon]

DJs, athletes, entertainers, etc. that think that people actually CARE about their cats' (or chihuahuas) favorite song/ restaurant/ website/ whatever. The local classical station has been taken over by women that talk more about their cats than the music they're playing.

[C. F. Leon]

While we're on the subject of pets: people that treat their pets (usually small dogs) as child substitutes. I'm convinced that they are actually developing a breed that's losing the use of their legs (to be called "Little Foo-Foos").

That reminds me Pat…every single website where you have to ‘accept’ or ‘reject’ cookies before you proceed. It’s annoying. I always accept but I don’t know if that’s the right thing to do or not?

If you can use the site *without* accepting cookies, I'd recommend doing that. Especially if you've only gone there to read one article or something.

I’ll do that Pat. I’ve always wondered what to do. Thanks.

This is indicative of a far larger societal problem, imo.

I know, it's madness!

Pets are obviously far superior to children!!!

[Pcdunn]

This tendency for commercials for "full body deodorants" showing people spraying the stuff down their boxer shorts or under their bras. It just seems-- excessive!

[Herlock Sholmes]

Every single advert where people break into a dance.

[Herlock Sholmes]

Celebrities who saddle their kids with stupid names just to feed their own egos….

Techno Mechanicus
RZA
Kal-El
Pilot Inspektor
Bronx Mowgli
Elsie Otter
Audio Science
Diva Thin Muffin
Toilet Paper Elephant Trouserpress


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

[Enigma]

Parents who give their child a normal name but then spell it in an absurd manner.
