Things That Piss Me Off But Are Generally Of No Actual Importance, Volume 1

10.Twelve Heineken in Nova Scotia: 24.99. Twelve Heineken in Quebec: 16.99. And we make fun of the French.

9.Shows the premiered in 1985/86: Thundercats, Larry King Live, The Gummi Bears, The Golden Girls, McGyver, Jem, Perfect Strangers, Ghostbusters (the one with the Ape), Pee Wee's Playhouse, The Real Ghostbusters (the real one), LA Law, ALF, Zoobilee Zoo, Dennis The Menace, Matlock, and Dana Carvey, Phil Hartman, Kevin Nealon, Jon Lovitz and Dennis Miller join the cast of SNL.

Shows that premiered in 2008/2009: A Shot At Love 2 With Tila Tequila, Living Lohan, Big Brother 9, 90210 (again), Knight Rider (again), Paris Hilton's My New BFF, Late Night With JIMMY FALLON, Glee, How'd You Get So Rich?, Kourtney and Kloe Take Miami, Melrose Place (AGAIN), The Jay Leno Show, The Cleveland Show, The Wanda Sykes Show, JERSEY SHORE, The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty, and Power Rangers goes OFF the air.

We are losing to the 80's. That's pathetic.

8.Rogers wireless. If someone disagrees with me on this one, I swear to you I will fight you, be you god or man, woman or child, so strongly does hatred for Rogers Wireless run through my veins. I have their customer service center stored in my phone as "Hitler". I am SERIOUS.

7.People who argue Mac vs PC. Calm down. Both your products will break in 2 years and cost twice as much to replace. You're equally stupid.

6.Celebrity gossip magazines. Not because they're shallow and un-newsworthy (they are). Because they're 100% lies and people pay money for them. They're not 'rumors' or 'buzz'. When a quote in a magazine or newspaper says 'sources close to the couple' or 'inside sources say', it's journalistic jargon for 'I was too lazy to write something factual'.

5.People who watch Lost. At least when I watch Dog The Bounty Hunter or Gossip Girl or Dawson's Creek I admit I'm watching a piece of crap. And yes, Gossip Girl. GET OFF MY BACK.

4.Cab drivers who ask for directions. If I knew how to get there, I would take the bus. This does not apply to the cabbie who let me drink a beer while he yelled random things into my speaker phone at a competing taxi company who were slow to pick me up. You are awesome.

3."Following up" on job interviews with a phone call because it 'shows you're actually interested'. Who are these people who print out fake resumes, drive to random places of business and apply 'just for the fun of it'? I mean, I've done that too, but only to jobs that I'm wildly unqualified for (and, fyi, I actually got a response from CIBC so, I'd watch out for their employees...)

2.People who say "HEY...that's not funny...my ***** has/is ******." I don't care. If I did care, I wouldn't have made the joke in the first place. Deal with it.

1.People who use 'u' instead of 'you'. It is 2010. My 8 year old cousin uses full words when she types.
