Oh, gawd, I hate that! Makes me gag just thinking about it.

Reminds me of a story that my father used to tell about his time in the Forces. The camp cook only had access to very few eggs but plenty of access to that awful dried/powdered stuff that remotely resembles an egg-type substance when mixed with water.

Crafty guy, this camp cook.

He'd make up a batch of the powdered eggs and in the concoction he'd put in one complete egg, shell and all.

Then, when the men were eating their breakfast, some of them got a bit of shell. The men thought this was great, since they figured the cook was using real eggs in their scrambled egg breakfast instead of the powdered stuff. Little did they know...

My brother in law is a chef. When he works at a restaurant that forces them to use potato pearls, he always scrapes a few real potatoes, whizzes them up and throws them into the mix for the same effect. Funny!

The worse is a chafed man nip! That makes for a very long day.

My neighbor who wakes up everyday at 4 a.m. and decides to start mowing his lawn shortly after he wakes.

I REALLY get upset about the people who leave their empty grocery carts in the handicapped parking spaces.

Forgot this one: My stove top is being destroyed by my daughter while she is learning to cook. It's a smooth top and she has made a horrendous ring that I can't get off.

How about SITTING NEXT TO MY EX HUSBAND AT THE LAST TWO RUSH CONCERTS I'VE ATTENDED? Makes for a very awkward night. Ergh.

When I hold a door open for someone and they still reach out to touch it while I'm holding it open, as if I would slam it on them or something.

Keep in mind, I'm a bit old fashion. Here is my peeve with the modern youth invading my home.

Q: Hey man how ya doin? (my hand extended willingly)
A: huh? (shakes my hand like a sissy)
Q: How are you doing?
A: auhh (inaudible)
Q: What?
A: huh?
Q: Are you alive?
A: hum I guess
