When I was a kid my mother had a note-pad with this post’s title watermarked. I didn’t really see the humour then (I was 7) but boy do I now!! We are day 2 in to December and already I feel like murdering kittens (not really, I would NEVER, EVER do that in a million trillion years) but you understand the sentiment. To that end here is my list of grievances thus far – I am certain there will be plenty more …
-
driving a ridiculous TANK in the downtown core does not give you license to run lights
-
why does bringing my own bag when I go shopping result in the immediate suspension of customer service, except for at Whole Foods???
-
walking while texting is NOT ok
-
saying “thank you” when the door is held for you is a good idea
-
further to No. 4, I am NOT a doorwoman in training, FYI
-
I don’t care to listen to your “music” (and I am being generous in calling it that) from across the aisle on the bus at 7:30 a.m. – TURN IT DOWN!!!
-
“Happy Holidays” is NOT the same as “Merry Christmas”, trust me
-
another election? Are you serious?? Did you see what happened to the TSX yesterday??? Learn to play nice, gentlemen
-
before you cry poor and explain that there will be no party or bonus this year, at least have the decency to hide that new Burberry bag (and matching wallet) you just bought
-
there is a reason that they call it a line, Dill-Hole, get to the end of it!!!!!
Thankfully it T-13 days until the lovely Lola Paige and family arrive in town!

I take it the drivers in my neighborhood live in yours as well. Le sigh. Hope the rest of the week is better!

Can I get an “AMEN” on number three please? I almost ran a girl down the other day for walking out in front of me. Of course she didn’t see me because she had her face in her phone, grrrr.

I’d add to #4: “Texting while driving is even worse.”
I have noticed that about mainstream grocery stores too. It’s like you’re some sort of social pariah for bringing your own bag.
RYC: I have considered raw food, but at 4 cups a day, I’m not sure I’ve got the budget for it. I guess I could look into it–I really don’t know how much more it will cost.

the drivers use my neighbourhood in the West End to practice their race car driving on the way to their office… and then swear or yell if you dare step out into the crosswalk with your dog and dare to slow them down ….
your list is good. I have a list of my own but Im afraid it will reduce me to either homocide of kittens (humans more like it) or reduce me to tears!
hope you are well outside of the gnarly world of humans!
