Things that annoy you

'Cause I'm a grumpy middle-aged reclusive misanthrope.
Is it because you didn't mention you'd foot the uber fare or that your co-workers aren't ready for drunken Gorn with a lampshade on his lizardly head yet?
Of course it doesn't work. You are supposed to work inside the garage.
Too late now.
Took it to a flea market and sold it.
All they had there was Red Hot Chili Pepper records.
Good riddance, I guess.
You can cram a whole lotta Chili Pepper records in a garage.
I once took my dogs to a flea market. Bad idea. They're still resentful and cringe every time they see "Needles" from Back To The Future.
Ok, you know what annoys me?
Verbal snipers!
Example 1. You're eating something, and as soon as a verbal sniper sees what you're eating, this is what they say:
Egg salad? EGG SALAD! Do you know how bad this is for you? Do you know how much cholesterol...
or...
It's raining. You say, "I hate rainy days!"
Then, the sniper says, "You don't like rainy days? What's the matter with you? If we didn't have rain, nothing would grow, there would be no water to drink..."
As if they're the sage of the world.
They are almost the same as after the fact people; you know, the ones who never try to solve a problem, but after someone else does, they say, "I was going to say/do the same thing!"
You are free to be annoyed now.

I'm annoyed at medical professional offices who want you to arrive early for appointments - just schedule the appointment for the time I'm supposed to be there!!!!! AAAAARGH! 
And even worse, people whose religion is government.
I know! It's akin to the previous guy not having command of the language despite his superior education. They all suck in some way so we should not let them do anything more under the guise of helping anyone.
I would prefer people whose religion is government over those whose government is religion.
Went to the antique store.
Asked "Did anything new come in lately?"
They said " No. We sell antiques."
These are like my 80 year old grandpa jokes.
"My wife just went to the West Indies".
Jamaica?
No, she went of her own accord.
my hands seem to be cramping up a little so i'm kinda limited in the neck profile and string stiffness that i can comfortably play, therefore i'm a little irritated that the likelihood of me finding a lower priced L1000 or L2000 with the right neck profile and medium low action is gonna take a while
