Things I hate -- Therapy for a Slump

It's the 4th inning and the Cubs look to be on their way to a 2-0 loss.

So... in order to get people's minds off the mid-May slump, I propose making a list of things we hate besides the Cubs being in a slump.

Yes, we hate watching Bradley flail and Soriano reach and the Little League infielders make errors and we hate the fact that we can't be optimistic about Fukudome and we all hate the Cardinals.

But let's go non-baseball related.

Here is what I hate:

* Soggy cereal

* Those nasty wounds you get when you bite your nails -- which I do -- and you get a millimeter too far

* Roger Moore as James Bond

* When your dogs still have energy even after you've walked them three miles and played enough fetch to kill your rotator cuff

* The first day back at work after a long vacation

* Hangovers

* Kate from Jon & Kate Plus 8. I absolutely want to put my fist through that woman's face. She is the only woman I've ever felt that way about. (I don't count Ann Coulter because I'm not sure that's a woman)

C'mon, add to the list! Don't hate on the Cubs. Hate the rest of your life! The Cubs will turn it around!

The fact that the Cubs will finish in 3rd or 4th place

Only solace? That Tom Ricketts takes a buzz saw to the Cub front office and we get a true quality General Manager running the show.

THINGS I HATE

-When people use the words “supposably” and “irregardless.”

-Chris Matthews. Not political, just that he’s such a complete horse’s ass.

-Drivers who pointlessly dart from lane to lane on a slow-moving expressway.

-“Theme From A Summer Place” by the Percy Faith Orchestra. For some reason, it just creeps the hell out of me.

-Tyra Banks.

No.

His technique can be summarized as follows:

Are you out of tune? If yes, then randomly twist a tuning peg. Repeat until tuned.

It took him 10 minutes to get his high E tuned the other night. I wanted to take the guitar away from him and throw it out the window. It probably would have been in better tune afterwards.

The sad thing is that he has a clip-on tuner that he refuses to use “because the intonation is wrong on the B string.”

I dread the day i get one with a serious case of road rage in addition to the standard cabbie hatred of bikers. I’m probably going to get my ass kicked.

I hate (random order)

people who argue about paying a valid bill

the phrase “i sopke to someone there who said”
 
MLB blackout

anyone who cannot accept responsibility

People who make that weird whistling sound through their nose when they breathe

People who think they are sooooo important while talking on their stupid cellphones. Like anyone really gives a crap what they are talking about. Shut the hell up already. Stop yelling on a crowded bus or in a restaurant. Go home and talk in private.

When you are in a movie theatre and its NOT CROWDED at all, and some dumbass has to sit right freakin next to you out of all the empty seats in the whole damn room!! What is that?? Go away. Sit at least one row away from me

People who go to baseball games and leave before the 9th inning. Whats the point of that? Thats like going to a movie and leaving halfway through. Makes no sense.

People who point at their wrist while asking for the time…. I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?

When people say while watching a film “did you see that?”. No Loser, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor.

People who ask “Can I ask you a question?”…. Didn’t really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?

When something is ‘new and improved!’. Which is it? If it’s new, then there has never been anything before it. If it’s an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn’t be new.

When people say “life is short”. What the hell?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that’s longer?

When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks “Has the bus come yet?”. If the bus came would I be standing here, dumbass?

Pitchers who seem to think the object of the game is to pitch around home plate.

But there isn’t enough room on the Internets. :)

At the moment…

First dates
Being strung along
Sleepless nights
Microsoft Word

The Ratings Percentage Index
SportsCenter
Hurricanes
Driving slow in the fast lane
People who think they are massively important and have to race to the front of the merge lane to get in before everyone else
Driving in the DC area in general
The DC Metro’s idiotic, unpredictable weekend schedules
Whingeing, screaming children
The noisy neighbors upstairs
The damn kid down the hall who insists on running down said hall every time he must traverse it
MLB’s TV policies
Ticketmaster
A whole slew of professional and major college sports teams and the idiotic ones among their fan bases

Here we go...

University of Florida, their fans, their students, their alumni, their jean short wearing, cigarette/Copenhagen pounding, mullet wearing, bass boat driving, Ford F-350 jackasses. You too University of Miami. And Duke.

Fans that feel the need to insult you as your team lost walking out of the stadium. (I went to Boise for the NCAA Tournament – props to you Wisconsin fans for not getting in my face.)

Pretty much anybody who roots really really way too hard for a university sports team that didn’t go there. And stop saying ‘we’. Show me your diploma.

Bandwagon fans. Paging everybody in Florida with the Gators, Rays, and Magic. Where were you all year. Why, those are brand new Dwight Howard and Evan Longoria jerseys.

Power thirsty cops like the one in Dallas, and there are more than you think (also includes university cops)

The 15 second tutorial on how to leave a voice mail the phone gives you. Yes, I know to start talking at the beep. And what the hell happens if I page someone by pressing 4?

My neighbors who think its cool to party until 4:30am, my neighbors who don’t know how to work a damn roundabout/traffic circle at the start of my traffic complex

Dryers that take 3 times as long as the washer to finish what they’re doing, throwing off everything

People that are rude and just mean and insulting in my job just because its widely accepted and understood that its allowable. (I work in TV.)

Tipping – can’t we be like Europe and have a VAT? What it costs is what it costs, and servers actually get paid.

Places that don’t allow debit cards. I don’t carry cash. It’s 2009. Get with the program.

Oil companies, cable companies, internet companies, when my hot water heater trips and its cold and I can’t take a shower, cowbells, and highway construction.

People that think hurricanes are really a big deal in North Florida (and I’m tired of explaining why they aren’t if you don’t live within ten miles of the water.)

Ambiguous sea creatures: jellyfish, eels, stingrays, squid, and those giant worm things.

…you’re right, that did make me feel better.

Make it happen baby: Cubs, Jaguars, FSU, Jazz, Thrashers.

Wow, you clearly needed to vent.

I've committed to tweeting about the Cubs for the rest of the season. (Does that sound as ridiculous as I think it does?) Anyway, if you're on Twitter, you can follow me here.

OK, I've been out much of the day, and that gave me some material.

Have you ever been in line in a supermarket checkout behind a person who was buying about 300 things and who just stood there for the 15 minutes it took the checker to ring it up?

And only after the checker was done THEN started to root around for money as if he/she was surprised that they actually had to pay for it?

And THEN started fumbling around for the exact change even though the cashier does this all day long and can make change 1,000 times faster than you can?

I HATE THAT!

And, also, I hate major streets in the city of Chicago where every single freaking traffic signal is out of sync with the next one, no matter whether you go the speed limit or not, and so you miss every single green light.

If you have ever driven on Ashland from about Roscoe to Bryn Mawr, you know exactly what I’m talking about.

That was my afternoon. Not fun.

Irving Park Road from the lake to I-90/94. Yeah, that’s about as fun as Addison after a Cubs game.

Random hates

Lousy officiating in any sport
The White Sux
Poor service at restaurants
Paying for an extended warranty, then fighting to get the company to pay their share
Gaining weight
Politicians
Spinning the phrase “global warming” into “climate change” to try and fool people
Taking an online course and the teacher takes 5 days to answer email
Getting old
At work, supervisors/managers that do the easy thing instead of the right thing when it comes to the team
Lousy drivers
Gas prices that take weeks to drop but rise in hours/days

baseball is a game of outs......pop out, ground out, line out, pitch out, strike out, fly out, and Fox and Bud's favorite black out

Late, but here goes

1) Network television.
2) The low common denominator that network tv caters/panders to.
3) “Gangsta rap”.
4) stray dogs.
5) real bears, like grizzly and polar
6) tilapia (How did this stinking fish become “premium”?)
7) all types of fuel prices
8) grossly overweight people in skimpy clothing
9) undisciplined children at the store, screaming and throwing tantrums.
10) Have you encountered this one yet? Chilren who are allowed to SHRIEK as loud as they can, continuously in public. It has become so common, that if a child were being abducted, no one would realize it.
11) Cubs losses

Here Goes, late as usual(blame it on my stupor trying to process the lack of offense)

-Constant reminders, like I need them, that the Cubs haven’t won the WS since woodrow wilson(Cards fans do their best to give Cubs fans a history lesson at every game)

-Eye gunk in the morning

-Allergies

-Coffee that burns your tongue and ruins your sense of taste for 3 days

-Running out of milk when I want cereal for breakfast

-Missing Cubs games here in St. Louis

-The pathetic excuse for cheese fries they have in every city but Chicago

-People who ask me inappropriate questions on the train to work

-Boob distractions at inopportune moments

One more

Had to add this one…

Meatball Fan Syndrom… Stop appealing to the lowest common denominator when it comes to local sports. Expecting fans to be intelligent should be the goal. We don’t need to live in this rhelm of “Bear weather”, MJ was a God and the Cubs should still play 81 day games at Wrigley. I’m from Chicago and proudly say that Oldstyle Beer sucks, Ditka is an egotistical ass who kept the Bears from winning more super bowls, John Cusack and Jim Belushi do not represent my city and I don’t care what team my manager or coach played for, just win!

The Designated Hitter
Morons on televised golf tournaments who yell “it’s in the hole”

Most of the people on “digg”
People who are in multiple commercials for different companies
How my local independent league baseball team charges for parking when there really is no other way to get to the stadium. If you want the money, just increase ticket prices. jeez.

Oooh, I love talking about things I hate

1. The uncomfortable feeling when you see someone coming towards you in a long hallway, and you don’t know whether to make eye contact the whole time, pretend you are looking at something on the wall, and what to do when you pass them (smile, say hello, say “nice day. huh”).

2. Mosquitoes

3. Mosquito bites

4. Carp Repairmen

5. Poor grammar, and people who don’t care about their poor grammar.

6. That I know the stupid Geico money stack commercial is on even if I’m in the next room, and that once I hear the song I won’t be able to get it out of my head for hours.

7. Commercials where the person is so happy to get their product, the hug/kiss/fall in love with the salesperson. That is soooo played out.

8. Hunting (I live in Wisconsin, it’s pretty big here).

9. That I don’t understand what Twitter is or how it works.

10. Jerry Angelo

11. February. No baseball, no football, and it’s cold as all get-out.

12. When sports radio talks about things I don’t care about, such as basketball, hockey or pretty much anything but football or baseball.

13. The number of commercials on WSCR. Also, Mike Murphy.

14. Roy Oswalt and Craig Counsell. Not sure why those guys are so high on my hate list, but they definitely are.

15. Ticket scalpers. Or worse, people who buy up tickets just to turn around and sell them on Ebay for a 10 dollar profit after they pay their Ebay and paypal fees.

16. Contractors.

17. Shower curtains, especially if they touch me.

18. Dandelions on my lawn.

19. Small dogs who bark too much.

20. Small dogs carried around in a purse.

21. Home shopping network sales people.

22. Grumpy old people. All old people should wink at you and pull a quarter out of your ear.

23. People who say “T.M.I”

24. Trying to find an avocado that isn’t either too ripe or not ripe enough. I either can’t mash it or it’s brown, and the things cost like 2 bucks each.

25. Female stand-up comedians.

26. Jay Leno and Steve Cochrans petulant, annoying sense of humor. Who in the universe likes Steve Cochran more than John Williams?

27. This road trip.

DEJESUS!!!

It seems like whenever my carp

breaks down the guy finds 5 other things wrong with it, even when it seems like a simple gill pull.
