For some reason, yesterday was one of those days and it seemed like everything was getting on my nerves. I realized that a few of my pet peeves might be slightly irrational.
crunching/chewing ice
tv commercials with bad audio - the ones that "hiss" when they say S's or sounds like they're spitting with T's
commercials that are 10 times louder than the program you're watching
people that don't return personal emails in a timely manner - or at all.
people asking me a quesetion and then talking over me or ignoring me while I answer
people cancelling plans at the last minute
I'm sure there are plenty more, but those are at the top of my list this morning.

OMG! sorry but I had to laugh! I cannot stand TV commercials that are louder than the program you are watching either! Also - I cannot stand these commercials for every dang sickness and drug - cripe - if you have a day where you are not feeling well you begin to have every symptom they are mentioning! Lawyer commercials should be banned! male enhancement procuts and irth control options - should be banned. And these cash cows that keep telling us that if we have a structured settlement they will cash us out now because our money will not be worth the same amount in the future. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that the dollar is shrinking more and more as time goes on! Also - feminine hygiene products should be banned. Don't try to listen to the TV while eating - it'll turn your stomach! No wonder I prefer to watch DVD's - no commercials at all - no sickness, no meds, no male enhancement or stayfree!
Years ago it was cruex for jock itch - like I want to hear about crotch rot while I'm eating! And it's only gotten worse!

awww...you mean you don't like "Smilin' Bob" or those "his driver's license says he's 41, but I think he's 18 again" commercials?? I just don't get it. Doesn't everyone want to watch ads for male enhancement products with their children?
Why don't we add those hair replacement type things too. I love how they say "I can even swim with my new hair". ummm...I dont' think the hair made you swim, and I'm pretty sure the lack thereof didn't keep you from knowing how to swim. (same goes for tampons *sigh*)

LOL - like Cathy Rigby on a balance beam in a WHITE leotard advertising pads! Yeah - right! Those leotards show everything! Bob should be shot - in public - repeatedly for everyone to see with the Cheshire grin on his face! And I cannot stand that creepy little lizard on the Geico comercials! I would love to step on him and squish the guts rightout of him! Someone should grab him by the tail and either stick him in a blender at high speed or deredge him in flour and fry his tail!
Another thing - I'm "mature" (not bad for an ol' bag!!) and I do not like today's cartoons! What ever happened to Popeye, Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Beany and Cecil, etc.??

OH! Cartoons drive me nuts anymore! Can there not be a cartoon that's fun and not about saving the world from monsters or robots? It scares me to think that these are the cartoons that my child(ren) is going to grow up with. Someone needs to bring back some Looney Tunes, Tom & Jerry, Smurfs (I LOVED the Smurfs!), etc. Apparently these cartoon people don't think they should be funny anymore.
