Peeves

* Why do people crack their gum? This is the most annoying sound ever. I admit that those women (always women) who crack their gum are probably pretty talented because I certainly can't figure out how they snap on every chomp. Save the cracking till you're home alone, OK? Public places are not venues for that obnoxious noise.

* What's with people saying "You were so drunk last night!" (or something along those lines) to their friends? What is that? A compliment? A jab? I am pretty sure that most people know that they were drunk, and bringing it up is a party foul.

* WHY DON'T PEOPLE USE THEIR TURN SIGNALS WHEN DRIVING?! And speaking of driving, how is it that there are still so many people driving around the District while talking on their cell phones. Haven't they heard the news? It is against the law!

* Who the eff stole my bicycle? It goes by the name "Hey That's My Bike," is red, and misses me terribly.

* Did George Bush get bored this month?I don't really get the theory behind extending daylight savings time by almost 4 weeks. To save energy? Please! He really thinks that this will cause people to turn on their lights later in the day? That's his big plan for saving the universe? Wouldn't a nice PSA (by the CPMC Actor) have been a lot easier than going about changing daylight savings time? What about all the farmers whose livestock are going to be negatively effected? What about Canada and Mexico, who now have to decide if they are also going to change their daylight savings time in order to be compatable with the holier-than-thou US?

* Why do some women still wear white pumps and "suntan" colored pantyhose?
