Things I hate today, an incomplete list:

1. products that blame you for not being good/smart/creative/whatever enough if you don't like them
2. "man cave"
3. anti-feminists
4. pointless rules
5. ineffective systems
6. yellow mustard

I'm actually having a great day, but all those things can DIAF.

What's on your list?

N) Otherwise bright students who think that documenting the fact that internet users are using socially meaningful language constitutes an interesting research project.

N+1) Tech support people who laboriously get all the details of your issue and make you wait while they write it all down, then immediately transfer you to a new tech support person who has not read any of it but your name.

N+2) The obscure and unfair rule that limits the day to 24 hours.

N+3) Two-year-old birthday munchkins. Oh wait no, that's not bad, that's AWESOME!!!!!

#2 isn't a rule. All you have to do is get to a different planet. Given the probable number of planets in the universe, odds are you can get just about any length of day you want!

Good luck!

I heartily agree with N+1 except these days just about any company makes you run through the gauntlet of disembodied voices to answer the same ten questions ten times ("namebirthdayaddressphonenumbersocialsecuritymothersmaidennameshoesizefavoriticecreamflavor--") in the hopes you will trip up! What? That's not their goal?
