Todays annoyance is the toaster dial.

Maybe I'm just stupid, but I just can't tell what my toaster does to make my toast lighter or darker. It seems to take the same ammount of time, the coils don't appear to become any hotter, and it just bugs not knowing how it works! (Made you in the mood for toast!)

Todays annoyance is Stock Laughter

If you don't know what I'm talking about, I shall endeavor to explain. When a really stupid radio or TV show wants you to think someone thinks that their corny joke was funny, they will play a pre-recorded sound of laughter. This is very annoying, and even insulting when its SO OBVIOUS!! If nobody in the universe thinks you're funny, then don't pretend like you have fans, just accept that you shouldn't be broadcasting to anyone.

Todays annoyance is drawn on eyebrows

It truly is unfortunate that people think that this practice is smart.

Step one: Pluck out your eyebrows
Alternate step one: Be born without eyebrow follicles
Step two: Get a special pencil that costs just about $6,000 and draw lines.
Step three: Look ridiculous

Makes sense to me!

Todays annoyance is Memorial Day Sales

WERE HAVING A GIGANTIC MEMORIAL SALE!!! NO INTEREST! NO PAYMENTS! WE'LL PAY YOUR SALES TAX! 20% OFF THE WHOLE STORE!

Oh, yeah and somethin' about our troops that died protecting our country. Today is called Memorial day, a day dedicated to remembering lost heroes, and veterans; not nation-wide sale day.

Todays annoyance is math

Did you know that when math was invented, it was used as a form of torture? O.k. not really, but at times it sure feels like it! I know math can be helpful and everything, but good grief! Could it have been maybe a little easier!? I think we should all band together and outlaw math higher than the high school level.

Todays annoyance is the Rosie vs. Donald

VS

Who would have though? Rosie has now become an icon not because of any special tallents, but because of her amazing annoyance skills. Donnald Trump is just a guy with a bunch of money who thinks he can say whatever he wants. So todays annoyance is Rosie, Donald, and their feud.

Todays annoyance is Clip Art

You know who you are clip art abuser. You cover your documents with poorly drawn figures of office employees, talking water-coolers and cats. Need I say more? I think not.

Todays annoyance is pop-ups

Now, we all hate popups. They interupt our surfing with offers of something for nothing. That being said, todays annoyance isn't so much about the popups them sevlves, but the things that they alledgly offer. Is there anyone left on the planet who blieves you are acctually going to recive $1,000 a free laptop, and two ipods just for clicking here? How stupid do you really think we are? Do you really think we blieve we are the thousanth visitor; or the fact that we've been the thousanth visitor six times in a row? I personally enjoy the little games that some of them have. I play your pointless game and when you try to open your affiliated link my blocker deflects it. Ha Ha! I win flash game spammer!

Todays AOTD is the back of the rice-krispies box this month.

On this months rice-krispies box it features six random pictures of the animated spokesmen/spokessmurfs and a few kids dong something "adventureous." These scenes inculed a western, on the moon, underwater, climbing a mountain, and a park scene. The whole idea is to "inspiring imagination." Apparently I missed the news flash that our society is creating brain-dead children without immagination and the only sensible thing to do would be placing a ridiculous set of pictures on the back of cereal boxes. Has kelloggs forgotten that adults also eat cereal? Since when did cereal boxes become educational? Lets see what we learn from this:

1. Smurfs exist
2. Everyone smiles. All the time. Constantly. Without exeption.
3. Dolphins have eyelashes
4. Playing with strange green spikey thinks is normal
5. Space travel is a common occurance for 2nd graders
6. Smurfs do not need oxygen in space
7. Climping cliffs without adult supervission is acceptable
8. There is also treasure in all cliffs, so get climbing!

Seems like law-suit material to me!!
