#3 - Four-way stop intersections are not rocket science

Come on people! Four cars come to an intersection together, and we all have stop signs. The first person to get there gets to go first. Do not wave me on because you think you are being nice...I do not trust morons so I will not go. Go when it is your turn. Also, if you are the second car behind someone at a four-way stop...just because it is their turn to go does not mean some magic light that doesn't exist turned green and you may go too (without stopping at all).

Stop being idiots (PEOPLE OF CONNECTICUT HEAR ME) and go when it is your legal right to do so...not before and not after.

ugh.

#2 - People who wear pajama bottoms in public

I hate this so much. Seriously, there is just no excuse for this. It looks slovenly and it's not that hard to find some jeans.

Even worse, I've started to see people wearing slippers out in public. Unless you just went through foot surgery (and if you did actually have surgery, how are you already up and walking around Wegmans?), at least take the time to put on a pair of real shoes

#1 - The Title of This Blog

When I was in college, my friends and I had a list called 10,000 Things to be Pissed About. Basically, it was in response to the obnoxious book, 14,000 Things to be Happy About which is, according to Amazon, "the mesmerizing bestseller that celebrates all the little things that make life worth living." Yeah, one of those books... in the same vein of Chicken Soup for the Soul. I hate those books.

So, looking back I guess that means our list was 14,000 Things to be Pissed About. Obviously, the book is so annoying that I even got the title of the satire wrong since I tried to block it out of my mind. 10,000 is a better number anyways...

Anyways, we created our own list. Some were universal, others were more inside jokes. All were still entertaining to us. So, I decided to recreate this list and have invited my friends to join in. This is the result.

Which brings me to #1. I can't use 10000things.blogspot.com because someone already took it ahead of me. Even worse, they didn't bother to post more than just once... Dammit. I wouldn't be as annoyed if the site was being put to good use, but no, there it sits. With one lonely post. THAT'S FOUR YEARS OLD! Seems like the perfect representation for why this blog exists...
