Teenage girls and young women talking: talking on their cell phones constantly, at restaurants, while walking through malls; using "like" incorrectly, as in, "So I'm like . . . And she's like. . . . And that is so, like, totally . . . whatever."

Teenage boys and young men wearing ball caps indoors, even at restaurants.

Posters who type "loose" when they mean "lose."

Stupid people.

Pop-up ads, spyware, adware. I have considered the death penalty as suitable punishment, but I'm not sure.

Stupid people "working" at fast-food joints, invariably messing up your order.

Stupid young waiters and waitresses saying "you guys" in every sentence: "How is everything for you guys?"

Everything-a-commercial on baseball broadcasts: the Fox ads behind home plate on the pitcher-batter shot; the "Time for the Dobbs Tire Cracked Bat Exchange"; etc.

Christmas stuff that starts up in mid-November, even before Advent begins, and then ends after only the first of the twelve days of Christmas.

Nose studs as a job requirement at a coffee shop I frequent.

Piercings, tattoos, and other forms of body disfigurement as a fad. Time's up!

Employers making employees work on Sunday mornings, leagues scheduling activities for kids on Sunday mornings, etc., as though people don't go to church on the Lord's Day.

Stupid people. Have I mentioned that?

As I once told a guy who came to my friends restaurant in Miami wearing his hurricanes hat: "This aint a ballpark. Take it off now!"

Men who wear hats indoors better be circumsized, if you know what I mean. Otherwise, they should get flogged along with the a-sholes who blast hip hop out their windows at 3AM.

As I told my grandfather when he complained about a check out clerk not being able to make change: "do you REALLY expect intelligence if this job is the best they can get?"

The Biggest one is!
Trying to get to a real person on the telephone after you have to press about 10 keys on the phone and STILL no one answers!!
Press 1 if you are calling about service or a technical problem, press 2 if you are calling customer service press 3 if you are calling billing YEEGADS!

...broadcast from stadiums with corporate names like the Fedex Stadium. Also I hate when stadiums keep changing their names with each new owner. I can't even remember what Dolphins Stadium is called anymore. I, like most other folks down here, continue to call it Dolphins Stadium.

The word "cinnamon." For some reason I just can't pronounce it. Oh, and also the word, "particularly." Another word I have problems pronouncing.

The Navy broke me of that habit. I used to wear a ball cap everywhere. Now I feel uncomfortable to be "covered" indoors and instinctively remove my hat as soon as I cross through the door.
