The BIG Issues

Last night, at about a quarter past 11 pm till well past midnight, a group of ruffians (I believe that's the PC term) were setting off the most OBNOXIOUS fireworks across the street in the park. Perhaps they didn't realize the time of night, perhaps they didn't realize that fire crackers do in fact CRACK, rather loudly too, and perhaps they didn't realize that no matter WHERE in the park they were, sound actually travels thru the thick humid smog of NYC. Sleep was scarce last night.

Anyway that set me off to think of what drives me crazy. Upon eating some really great zucchini bread this morning, I got the hiccups. That drives me nuts! Then trying to politely stiffle them as you talk is even more insane!

And now I'm sitting here thinking of all those really irritating insignificant things that seem to make themselves the horrible bane of my existance. Like brothers(*cough*Joel*cough*) who burp and blow in your face. Like people who sniff and sniff and sniff but never get a tissue. Like the snotty cashier at CVS who talks down to all foriengers...like slurping...

Not that I wanted this to be such a negative post, nevertheless I know there are more pet peeves out there that are waiting to be ranted about! SO RANT AWAY!!!
