Peeve #15.2

It's been a while since I have posted about life's little irritations such as sideways-hat wearers, douchebags, and people who rock the bluetooth headset with no valid reason (and god forbid those who fall into the majestic triad of all of the above).

And let's not forget the people who take the shopping carts home from the grocery store, God love 'em.

Adding to the list:

• people who read greeting cards outloud in the drug store aisle, and the chuckle to themselves outloud about how funny it is. "Hahahaha....oh that is funny!". Subtract another two points for making eye-contact in an effort to share this special moment.
• people who display a consistent pattern of spelling errors and misuse of homonyms and common confusables, including these repeat offenders: Caesar (ie. Cesar, Ceaser, Ceasar), your (ie. your so funny), loose (ie. i knew they would loose the hockey game!).
• tough guys. I mean people who put so much effort into trying to appear tough that it must be mentally and physically exhausting. The sullen look/clenched jaw, the sway and swagger while walking, arms upheld as if by some invisible soup cans. "I know it's 2:30 in the afternoon, and I'm walking down a residential street by myself....but man am I tough, and everyone needs to know it...look at me...how tough I am....ready to be tough with someone....like some urban commando...wow...this is a lot of work.... [for comedic effect, imagine the preceding dialogue as delivered by Stewie from Family Guy].
