Another list. This time, I am going to reveal the inside story on my pet peeves. Well, maybe not the inside story, that is way too personal. I probably don’t even know you that well. For all I know, you are some guy in Idaho who did a random google search on “hammer pants” and got this blog.
1. Drug suspensions in sports. Thanks, Manny Ramirez. Your believable explanation yesterday about getting busted was that you had a health issue and your doctor subscribed HcG, which you didn’t know was banned. HcG? Really? It is a women’s fertility drug. I guess if you need this, Manny, a 50 game suspension is not that big of deal. One day, when a player gets caught, be a man. Say, “I did it. It was a mistake. But I was trying to get a $20 million dollar a year contract.” That is at least intellectually honest.
2. Electronics or software that does not work correctly. Man, don’t be around me when that wireless network suddenly decides not to work.
3. Any Disney television product. Hannah Montana, Jonas Brothers, all the rest of that bunch. I am officially getting old, because I am sure that I loved stuff like that when I was younger, like when I was 34.
4. Traffic. One of the many benefits in moving to South Carolina was the lack of traffic. Every time we head back to Atlanta to visit, I can feel traffic tension building as we pass by Chateau Elan.
5. This bird.
