A critically engaging exercise in pointless tedium.
More Stuff I Could Do Without
Soulless automatons that take other people’s stuff.
Having to call my wife and say, “Can you pick me up? The car’s been stolen.”
Waiting for thirty minutes in the cold drizzle for the crack “Community Enforcement” squad to arrive and take my statement regarding stolen car.
Realizing crack “Community Enforcement” squad consists of one fat pseudo-cop in a pickup, weilding a clipboard.
Insurance company phone trees.
Repeating identical information five or six times to various people who would save everyone a lot of time if they communicated amongst themselves.
Waiting for callbacks.
Companies that are too cheap to install legitimate security devices, choosing instead to invest in such winning—and effective!—concepts as the “dummy camera.”
Having to wake up a peacefully slumbering spouse to take me to train station due to aforementioned automaton’s actions.
Train delays.
Forgetting my iPod and having to listen to crass, exaggerated conversations from fellow train passengers about obviously fictional sexual conquests.
A lack of ability to destroy people with my mind.
Perpetual rain in “sunny” California.
Rain.
California.
Bus drivers that leave early and abandon daily passengers.
Bus drivers that operate their large, unweildy vehicles as though they were involved in some manner of Nascar event in an effort to compensate for previously mentioned delays.
Fearing for my life prior to 7:30 am.
Being late to work due to forces beyond my control.
Lateness that causes irreparable schedule shifts resulting in missed meals.
Realizing it’s going to be a bad day prior to 8:00 am.
