Greg's Top Ten Things That Piss Me Off To No End...(6-10 Today, 1-5 Yesterday)
6. Drama Queens: Here's the deal, if you invite drama into your life, drama will certainly run rampant and make your life a living hell. I find that most of the people I know who complain about drama incessantly are the same people that seek drama out at every turn. Folks, if you want to live without drama, don't go looking for it. You may not be able to completely avoid it, but you'll do yourself a favor when you don't go looking for it at every turn and then bitch to everyone about how your life is so awful. I think the biggest problem is that people grow up in homes that are large theatrical productions and once they leave the nest the don't know how to live in peace. Drama becomes the norm. Please pay your therapist on the way out the door. That'll be $125.
7. People Who Make Noises When They Eat: I was at AAA today and a woman behind me decided to eat yogurt while waiting for her car to be smogged. I could be wrong, but it sounded more like two dogs licking peanut butter from baboon's ass. I turned green and walked into the other room. How hard is it to eat with your damn mouth shut? If you can't eat in silence you should be forced to consume nutrients through a feeding tube. Horses eat less noisily after running the Belmont Stakes than this woman did at AAA.
8. People Who Drive in the Carpool Lane Illegally: I, like so many of you, drive in peak commuter hours and obey the rules by not driving in the carpool lane. Every day I find new ways for California to make a fortune. Just set up a few cops in the left shoulder and yank people off the road in swarms. With the amount of money that it costs to pay the fine for illegally using the carpool lane we should be able to solve world hunger in no time. It's absolute douchbaggery at its finest when you're sitting patiently in midday traffic and some asshat in a Mercedes drives by in the carpool lane without a passenger other than his extra large ego which obviously rides shotgun along with his over-inflated sense of importance. May a cat take a large dump on your car's hood you're polishing your Douchebag of the Year Award in your den.
9. Cocaine Fingernail: You all know this one. It's the guy who obviously snorts cocaine because his pinky finger's fingernail is longer than Florence Griffith Joyner's. It's disgusting. It's bad enough that you have a cocaine habit, but it's made ever more disturbing by the fact that you work in the service industry and proudly display your addiction on your pinky finger. I hope you don't wash your hands, coke addict with the long fingernail. That way every time you snort cocaine up your nose a little bit of everything else your dirty hands have touched goes right to your brain, shit for brains.
10. Gary Radnich: I rarely call people out by name, but I simply cannot hold back. I would rather listen to Jim Rome repeat himself a million times and talk absolute nonsense with his stupid clones than spend a moment during my morning commute listening to Radnich spew whatever brand of garbage he's promoting on his radio program. Hell, I'd rather listen to friggin' Yanni albums while getting a root canal than spend one second of my life with Gary Radnich invading my auditory senses. I understand he's been in the business of sports journalism for decades but now he's like that tenured professor you had in college who no longer gives two shits about his job and just rants all day about how his shit doesn't stink and everyone should kiss his ass. That's Radnich in nutshell.

Greg's Top Ten Things That Piss Me Off To No End...(1-5 Today, 6-10 Tomorrow)
1. Internet Trolling: What sort of wanker spends time on internet message boards shit talking people who are paying respects to someone who just passed away? Do you have any semblance of a life whatsoever? Is your world so pathetic that you have to screw with people on a message board due to an infantile response to your own emotional baggage? Are you angry with your mommy for not buying you the GI Joe with the kung-fu grip when you were a kid and are dealing with it by leaving nasty little notes on message boards? I just went over to a message board on an NFL site to hear fan responses to Junior Seau's death and some jackhole said that because he was a San Diego Charger he deserved to die horribly. Very classy. Internet trolls are the most miserable lot.
2. People Who Wear Too Much Perfume/Cologne: To the old bag of bones in aisle one at the Nob Hill in San Jose: every fucking fruit and vegetable in the store now tastes like Chanel No. 5. Thank you very much. If you smell so bad that you have to practically bathe in a tub of the shit, then don't leave the fucking house. Seriously, we all smell like Chanel No. 5 now and everything we consume at the store now tastes like it, too. I almost want to say something to you about how awful you smell, except that the message clearly wouldn't reach your brain due to the damage already caused by the fumes that surround your corpse of a body. Thank you very f-ing much.
3. Flakes: No, not Frosted Flakes. And, no, not people who flake on occasion. We're all guilty of it from time to time. I'm talking about perpetual flakes. People who almost always let you down and offer little in return to make up for their flakiness. They may even mean well, but it matters little if you ask me. Just say you can't make it. Or call. In fact, send a damn smoke signal or a damned carrier pigeon. Just don't make me wait around for your disorganized self and expect it to be okay. I have better things to do, like write a top ten list about how much you piss me off when you consistently flake on me and then complain about how all of your friends are leaving you. Gee, I wonder why they do that?
4. Bad Tippers: Here's the deal. If you go somewhere where tipping is customary, like, say, DOUBLE D'S SPORTS GRILLE!!!, tip appropriately. This goes double if the person gives you great service. Just take care of the person who takes care of you. Don't spend $115 in liquor and then tip $12 because you're cheap or you want to prove to the person you've just had serve you that your "better" than they are because you're the customer and they're just a lowly peon in your pathetic little world where you're the greatest thing since sliced bread. Get over your snooty little ass, pull out a slide rule or a damn calculator and do the math: 15-18% is an average tip. Figure it out and tip properly, you damn fool. Especially if you plan a return visit anytime in the near future.
5. People Who Don't Wear Seat Belts: How many people on this planet need to die senselessly because they are too lazy or "daring" to take three fricking seconds to click a safety belt? How many? This isn't something you can blame on a disease like people who drink themselves to death or die from a drug overdose. It's a damned safety measure that each and every person on this planet is perfectly capable of operating if they're permitted to drive an vehicle. Even an effing chimpanzee can be taught to use a seat belt so what the hell prevents any moron out there capable of passing a driving exam to do the same for themselves? The same hand you just used to wash your butt could be used to save your life by spending three seconds before driving off into the sunset...or the concrete divider on highway 17.
