Brendan's List of ANNOYING Things

I like to think that I'm usually pretty tolerant in my tastes, but despite that, here are--in my humble opinion--a few of life's trivial (and not-so-trivial) annoyances. I've compiled this list not to complain (of COURSE not!!), but instead, to (hopefully) attract like-minded visitors with similar annoyances! Your mileage may vary. =) So, here they are--a few random items that I find annoying!

Netscape <BLINK> HTML tags

These are enough to drive any sane person out of their mind. They come from the fine folks whose software has crashed on my computer nearly as many times as Microsoft's has. Need I say more?

America On-Line Trial Disks

After numerous long hours of deliberation, I have determined the true reason why these things pop up everywhere, from inside magazines to inside mailboxes. It isn't widely known, but in fact, the 3.5-inch squares marked "FREE TRIAL!" are not REALLY America On-Line trial disks--they're actually highly intelligent mutant Martian space aliens whose reproductive systems have gone out of control.

"Top-40" radio stations

These airwave-polluters have a knack for stimulating my gag reflex. At any given moment, there is far less "new" music available than "old" music. Thus, one would expect As far as I can tell, there are only two reasons why anyone would ever want to tune into a top-40 station:

• to hear "new" music that changes constantly--and therefore, to not have to hear the same old songs every time

Mac Weenies

I realize that this issue is a matter of religious warfare, so I'll watch what I say. However, put very mildly, Mac weenies tend to irritate me. I'm not referring to people who use Macs, or people who do neat things with Macs, or even people who realize that the Macintosh is a decent platform for graphics applications. No, what really bothers me are not Mac users in general, but specifically, Mac weenies. I'm referring to the type that goes around with their nose stuck in the air, telling everyone how much better they'd be off if they had a Mac. This holier-than-thou attitude is ridiculous, leading me to conclude, as some guy on the 'Net suggested, that "Mac weenies have a lower IQ than the fuzz on my navel."

Interrupted dreams

I encounter these once in a while when I get up for school in the morning. I'll be asleep, having a teriffic dream, and then my alarm clock will wake me up just as I'm getting to the dream's best part. I find this incredibly frustrating. (Perhaps it's a minute, insignificant annoyance, but this is my Web page, and I can say what I want. Hahahahaha. :P)

"REALLY annoying things" pages

People who waste their time making these are totally LAME.
