This is a short list of things that bother me. I'm not a curmudgeon,
I just like to make lists.
- Getting stuck with the extra handouts in class
- When people studying abroad write you using many idioms and
phrases of the country they're in, especially when it's a foreign
tongue, and especially if they're italicized or in quotes
- magic 8 balls
- filling out the return address portion of an envelope
- when people refer to Shakespeare as "Bill Shakespeare", and then wait
for you to laugh
- writing in library books, worse if in pen or when the
underlining is crooked (really, who do you think you are?)
- all advertising puns during the Easter season
- when you're eating out at a pizza place, and the server serves you the
first piece of pizza
