1. The Phrase "9 to 5"
Can we all agree to either not use this anymore, or at least substitute it with "8 to 5" or "9 to 6"? Unless you are lucky enough to get paid during your lunch hour or are not putting in a full 40 hours - there is no way you are leaving this early. That is if you are lucky enough to get to leave after 40 hours instead of 50, 60, or 70.
TV and Movies have led me to believe that people didnt work nearly as long in the past. I wish I had the Psycho DVD to watch again but I think Janet Leigh worked from 10:30 to 2:45.
2. People who say "J.C. Penneys" and "Barnes & Nobles"
There´s no freaking S at the end! It is J.C. Penney and Barnes & Noble! Get it right.
Minor Peeve: It´s Li-BRA-ry not Li-BA-ry and Fe-BRU-ary not Fe-BU-ary
3. Pretty soon we will have another news story that crops up every couple of years: The post office will raise the price of a stamp by a couple of cents. In said news article there will be people who will complain that it is "ridiculous" and that "it costs too much already". If these whiners can´t afford a few extra cents to mail a letter across the country then they need to stop shooting heroin or cut back on their triple frappachino lattes or pet psychiatrist visits for little Scruffy. Cheapskates.
4. Men who piss all over a public toilet seat/leave pubic hairs on the seat like it is growing a goatee/don´t flush. Here´s a simple law I would like to introduce: If you don´t leave it in proper condition for the next guy - you get the death penalty. Does anyone NOT agree with this?
5. Smokers who can´t get it through their nicotine-ravaged brain that their smoke bothers other people. Just die already, please.
