Things That Annoy Me



You know you can tell you have too much time on your hands when you start thinking of things that bother you. Yeah, I've got nothing but time. And indigestion, but that's another story.

I thought I'd introduce this as an once-in-a-while feature here. I kinda got the idea from Janna@Jannaverse - you know, the funniest lady on the interwebs. Yeah, funny in a guffaw way. How guffaw? I dunno. Minnesota or Minneapolis or one of those M places. Pretty guffaw. Anyway, she's always making lists. Funny lists. She likes music too. But she doesn't make musical lists. If she did, those would be funny Liszts.

So here we go. My first crack at things that annoy me.

1. Peas
(c'mon, you had to have seen that coming. Like you don't know me by now? They've gotta be right up there with turnips and stewed prunes, strong candidates for future lists of things that annoy me.)

2. People who refuse to yield on the sidewalk or grocery aisle.
I mean really folks, where'd you learn to walk? In a distillery? Common courtesy dictates you walk on the right. Just like driving. Get outta my way. Old man walking, here.

3. Projectile vomit.
Enough said.

4. Diarrhea.

5. The fact that I have to check the spelling of diarrhea before writing it.

So, that explains why there were no peas in sight when I came for dinner. Glad it prevented pet pea-ves number 3-5.

You will never see peas on my plate. It goes back to an unfortunate childhood incident. Enough said.

Well, thanks, Barb.

I am right there with you on #5. Drives me insane & I type it almost as often as I type cirrhosis.

Yeah, diarrhea drives me nuts. Trying to spell it, I mean.

The same people who refuse to yield on sidewalks are the same people who stand left on escalators. Or worse, in the center.


Whenever I type diarrhea, I always just randomly hit the letters that I know are in the word. Then spell check takes over.

Well, and not that I'm feeling guilty or anything, but I'm happy to see that "blog friends who abandon me for weeks on end" wasn't on that list. And I hope you're feeling better now. :-)

Yeah and those people movers at airports. I hate the people that step on them and stand still. They're people movers not people stand stillers. Come one, eh.

Hey, this is just the first list. If you're lucky you'll be included in a future one.

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born.  That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network.  And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.  But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door.  And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows... Imagination Day!  Oh boy!  You know what happens on Imagination D
