Things That Annoy You

Cashew butter.

I could leaf it at that, butter...

Not Sure.

I'm only annoyed because the Polish celebration I grew up with, as did my parents and grandparents, is considered socially inappropriate almost everywhere but western New York. Dyngus day (or Dingus) is a tradition that is celebrated March 28th, with guys getting girls wet via whatever method works, water or cologne, then stroking their legs with pussy willows. Girls get the chance for revenge the next day by throwing dishes and crockery at the boys.... I know it sounds like a typical weekend at the trailer park, but it had an aura of springtime renewal and even included a parade.... and yes, plenty of alcohol. http://www.dyngusday.com/#!our-story/p95ly What bizarre local celebration did you grow up with?

Cashews are messed up anyway. They're not even actually nuts.  They're seeds.  And look at where they come from, it's just wrong.

People who thinks it's necessary to say "bless you" after you sneeze. You get in a sneezing fit around them and it's "Bless you! Bless you! Bless you! Bless yeeeeww!"

My soul is not going to escape my body when I sneeze. I'm fine.

The belief is, when someone sneezes, their heart stops momentarily. At that moment, the devil can steal that person's soul. That devil is a crafty one.

The hiccups are where he'll really get you though. Often overlooked.

Everyone here in the South is Bobby Boucher's mom when you sneeze.

That sounds fun. And interesting. Lots of like-types of festivals like that pre-Lent but I wasn't aware of after. A bizarre origin of a wet t-shirt contest or a 'show yer tits' so popular in other festivals that have gone mainstream or to cheap dvd? Kidding. I recall in Cologne etc there is a time during Carnival in which the girls can cut off the men's ties and are "in charge." There also was, as I recall various dressing up in Catholic parts of Holland. But all these were, before start of Lent- one last hurrah before the fast etc. I like your version to celebrate ending after Easter with more than church, an egg hunt, and supper. Sounds fun.

Daylight Savings Time.

Just in case you forgot who owns you, the Government has decreed that you adjust your clocks twice a year.  Most of them require a degree in electrical engineering to reset.  Good luck, plebeians, and don't forget to vote. 

Now dance, slave! Dance!

I spend more time than I will admit to trying to get the three clocks on devices in my kitchen to be within a few seconds of each other.  I hate it when I see different times on them.  I consider it a jig or maybe a reel.

And why the hell does every appliance need to have a time function in the first place?!?!

When I write in my diary that I popped popcorn today, it is important I have the correct time.

The last time I'd heard this POS was probably a dentist's office circa 1995, but The People v. OJ Simpson brought it back in the last episode.

Yeah, I should have thought through this name a little more. It gets my attention everytime someone mentions the greeting, place, or incident.

OCD plus a large spider of indeterminate location equals a very special type of hell.

Who orders a steak well done?

lonely, very lonely people. Also unattractive women.

This guy too, apparently. I think this is the most offensive thing I've ever read about him.

Sad but true. Something about my vampire genes screams, "There must be blood!" Medium-rare at most

You know, all the outrageous stuff he's said hasn't caused a dip in his numbers but this might. Well done  :

Obvious shit like this in the news annoys me:

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Army's top general says military forces on the ground face a high level of risk if the United States gets into a large-scale conflict against a power such as Russia or China.

Risk in a large-scale conflict.  Who knew?

I recently learned that, in most parts of Canada, restaurants have to serve beef well done. Maybe it's just hamburger meat, but they're required to char the heck out of it. Their burgers look like lumps of coal.

[whoozit]

If I liked well done steaks I'd give up and become a vegetarian.  What's the point?
