Irritations

[C. F. Leon]

I'm actually more of a baseball fan in general, but I do follow my local basketball team. For those with short memories, in 2020 the NBA season was cut short for reasons that we don't really need to rehash. To fill the time, the local radio station that runs the games started broadcasting old vintage games, mostly from the "Good Years" (largely pre-2000), including from our lone Championship Year (1977). For us fans, it was great listening to games that No One had heard for 30-40 years or more. But, did they run the games in any sort of reasonable order? Of course not. As far as we could determine, it was entirely random. Except the Playoffs of the Championship Year, which they ran in REVERSE order.

Who makes these decisions?

Couples at the grocery store who feel the need to discuss every possible item they are considering buying and having to reach a consensus before they can drop a bag of frozen peas into their cart.

Absolutely. Or family groups in a café who take half an hour to make their order because everyone has half a dozen questions about their meals and then they want to know if they can swap x for y and then they want to know they still get a free something if they don’t have z? I’m standing behind them losing the will to live.
