1. Fat Guys on Motorcycles.
I’m not talking about hunky, chunky, man-beef guys who can crack asphalt in their bare butt cheeks. I’m talking about pudgy office boys with no upper body tone and a home-grown, major life preserver riding too-big Harleys. (I know what you’re compensating for, big boy!) I followed one of these guys after he turned in front of me yesterday. A very ungraceful turn and then he wobbled a little. I fell way back to give him lots of room in case he lost control entirely and crashed. Sheesh. He should have been on a wee Vespa.
2. People Who Walk Their Dogs down my private road for exercise and then, when their dog chases my cat onto my property and starts trashing my garden because that’s where the cat ran first – do nothing. Just keep walking and let the dog root around in my garden. Tom had to run out and chase the dog off. Woman kept walking (with her little hand weights) and didn’t even look back.
3. CBS. Every thing they do annoys me.
4. My middle child who is a lovely girl but totally lacking in initiative. When will she get a clue?
5. Dust Mites. Ever since I started watching How Clean Is Your House I have been obsessing over dust mites. They are too small to see and they look so nasty in the blown-up photos they display on they show. I know that they are in most (all?)houses to some degree and like to live inside your mattress where they graze on random dead skin cells that you slough in the night. I worry that they are walking on ME during the night. Specifically, I worry that they are crotch-walking and grazing down there. I know this is a random, stupid worry - but this is my stupid obsession list and I'll worry about crotch-walking dustmites if I want to! Anyway – I used to vacuum my mattress once in while with the old Hoover just because that’s what you do. Today? I asked Tom to bring up the ShopVac. I am washing all the sheets, blankets, pillows, etc. in the hottest of water with lots of OxiClean & detergent, and simultaneously ShopVac-ing the hell out of my mattress. That should eliminate the ugly little fuckers, right?
6. The Drought. I am tired of dragging hoses across the lawn. I want some of Momma’s rain and I want it right now!!!
7. Things Made in China. Why is everything made in China these days? I mean everything!!! Have you been into a store lately? Plus now I am starting to worry about the contents of the many vitamins I take. Supposedly, 80% of the raw ingredients for all vitamins are now imported from China. I just don’t trust ‘em – but I love my vitamins and food supplements!
8. Airlines. Northwest (our local carrier) sucks and keeps canceling flights. But mostly I am annoyed because I have no idea what an airline ticket should cost. When you get on a plane there are people sitting around you who have paid half what you did – or twice as much. It is just such a stupid system. Pick a damn price and stick with it! I always feel screwed when I buy an airline ticket!
9. My Middle Child’s Lazy-Ass Boyfriend. Can’t have a list of ten and leave him off it!
10. Okay, I'm out of annoyances that I am willing to talk about. Please add your own number ten here. Thank you.

That's quite a list!
I should also vacuum my mattress because dust mites freak me out. Good idea.
I feel the same about hotel prices that you do about airlines, swami.
And, I too, am sick to dragging hoses around.
I am just going to agree with you. Because you seem a tad bit cranky and I would not want to be #10 on your list.
My mom used to have a large wooden thing that looked like a big fly swatter and she beat the mattresses with it. Not code.
10. Things that smell fishy.
1. I used to work for one of those guys. Except he was too rich to care.
2. No leash? Dumb bitch.
3. But I like BigBrother.
4. When you kick her ass out.
5. Oh ew. Now you've got me feeling all ookie.
6. I'm sorry. The rain appears to be here to stay. Again.
7. You mean they make stuff in other countries???
8. I haven't been on a plane that work hasn't paid for in years. Years.
9. See #4
10. The high school drama created between 20-something year olds and 50-something years olds that work for me.
I didn't read number 5 because it seemed icky.
10) I hate paperwork.
*smooch* Swami. Seems like you needed one. :)
*tries to hold laughter in about dustmites until safely out of blog*
*SNORT* You crack me up Swami. LMAO at the chunky man-beef guys that can crack asphalt in their bare butt cheeks. Now there's a visual.
#2 is something that definitely annoys me also. We have many neighborhood dogs that aren't on leashes and peeps let them roam the streets. I do NOT appreciate finding big turd piles on my front lawn.
LOL @ #5. I did the very same thing on the weekend. I thought just thinking about them in general was bad enough but thanks to you for giving me the "crotch-walking" image LOL.
Luckily we have been getting a bit of rain lately.
Also agree with the airlines as well as hotels. I'm always hearing about OTHER peeps getting great deals but I never do. *pout*
I'm annoyed you haven't updated.
