i’m Wrapping my head in duct tape…

Things that make me want to pop a vein (in no particular order):

• POLITICAL CORRECTNESS BULLSHIT.  There’s too many examples to list on this bandwidth.
• Drivers who put their brakes on BEFORE putting on their signals.
• People who forward emails with “urgent” or “informative” crap – BEFORE they check Snopes to find out it’s all bogus.
• People who drive up the soon-to-be-closed lane on the freeway to try to merge in ahead of everyone else that waited.
• Tom Cruise.
• People that falsely think co-sleeping is either dangerous or a “bad habit”.
• Any loving parenting practice that is called a “bad habit”.
• Rude people in general.  It’s not hard to be nice.
• People that think their baby must have teeth to eat anything other than liquid blah from a jar.
  • (special note – you adults, tonite when you’re eating dinner, chew only with your front teeth – after all, that’s the only teeth babies have for quite a while!)
• Cyberbullies.
• People with 20 items in the 15 items or less lane at the grocery store. 
• Pre-teens in public places that disrespect the rules, just because they think they’re “cool”.
• Doctors who give parenting advice. 
• Ear zits.
• People that can’t get over breasts.  They’re not reproductive organs, they’re nothing – they’re there to feed my baby.  You say they’re sexual – well, so are toes to some people.  Doesn’t mean I get offended seeing bare feet.
• Barney.  You know, the purple monstrosity.
• Al Gore.  ‘Nuff Said.
• People with no kids that give parenting advice.
• Scientology bullshit.
• Misuse of there/their/they’re, hear/here, etc. etc. etc. ETC.!!!
• People who make fun of other people’s kids.  That is the definition of pathetic.
• Puberty.  Not for me.  I don’t remember it.  But for my kids.
• Migraines.
• People giving unsolicited parenting advice – I have four, trust me, I have it under control.
• Liberal media.
• Parenting books.  None were ever written about your specific child, therefore it won’t answer all of your questions…  They are better used for kindling, or to level that wobbly table.
• Scaremongering.  A rapist isn’t waiting in your bushes every minute of every day.  Get out and enjoy your life.
• Know-it-Alls. 
• Lymphedema.
• Slow drivers.  I have better things to do than sit in my car.  It’s the skinny one on the right, lady.
• Britney.  We’re over you.  Go away.
• “I could care less”.  This error is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.  If you can, then DO.  Please.
• Neighbors with no kids and no lives that mow their lawns 5 times a week, seemingly just to make my normal lawn look crappy.  I may go on a mowing strike – maybe they’ll do it for me.  They obviously have the time.
• Democrats.  ‘Nuff said there too.
• Morons on birthboards who toss about insults like they’re holier-than-thou.  Get a clue.  You’re an idiot and no one cares what you think.
• Grammatical errors in any newscast.  I’m sure the local news has my email on a “block” list because I like to point out their mistakes.  Not only spoken, but on the tickers and other words that go across the bottom of the screen.  Need a new editor?  Please call me.  I’m available.

Okay, I think that’s enough blood-boiling for a Tuesday! 😀
