Women who become celebrities because they now have 14 kids?

Rewarding irresponsibility is apparently the american way!

Somehow and without fail, your flight will always be located at the furthest gate possible!?!?

The 2009 California State Budget!

Californians Get a Budget That Leaves Few Happy
Tax Increases and Spending Cuts Help Close $42 Billion Deficit, but Demand Belt-Tightening During Steep Economic Downturn

For California residents, this is about as irksome as it gets!

People, in California or any state that has a "hands Free" driving law, who use speaker phone and hold phone close to mouth while driving!

What part of "hands free" do you not understand?

The idea behind the law is that you are not holding the phone while driving!

People who make Mountains out of MoleHills.

Al Sharpton, Religious Extremists, PETA, & Soccer Mom's all come to mind.

Without these people, the world would be a much more pleasant place to live

Waiting in line!

Doesn't matter for what..a ride, food, a concert or club..no matter how great the reward, it is still irksome!

And no matter how calm you appear on the outside, all you can think about is what the fuck is taking so long?

Just keep telling yourself it won't be much longer....

The Friday before a 3 day/holiday weekend.

Is there a reason why it must be the longest & busiest day ever!?

I know it's a Murphy's Law thing and all, but it still never ceases to amaze me.

The Snuggie & the informercial that hocks it.

Are people really that retarded? They really can't put on a sweater or sit on the couch with a blanket?

I much prefer the WTF blanket:

Police Chases

While fascinating, they typically either end in a boring manner or the news cuts away before the good stuff happens

Our human nature is so that we feel compelled to watch these until they play out, but how often is the finale as good as the chase itself...quite often it's a complete let down. Like watching a really good movie only to have it soured by a piss poor ending.

And yet we never learn our lesson.....

So why do we watch?

Because we don't want to miss something in that rare instance something does go down at the end....yet half the time the news has moved on to their regularly scheduled program.

For instance, last evening there was a 3 hour police chase involving a Bentley and someone who obviously had money. We all stood glued to the TV waiting for end....waiting to see who this "celebrity" was. Only to be disappointed when the news decided at 12:07 AM to sign off so they could show a repeat of South Park. Come to find out, the poor bastard shot himself in the head shortly after and we missed it! What good is watching this train wreck if we are going to miss what we came for?

You're already wasted tons of tax payer money chasing this guy around town so why waste our time too! I say give the public what they want....

In honor of the grand opening of the iPeeved blog, I give you the top iPeeve of all time...

Work!

There's a reason why it's not called vacation.

Sure, some people enjoy their jobs, but at the end of the day, it's still work!

And sometimes, it's as simple as that...

This Blog is Now Open!

People who still think that pot is a harmful drug just because the government told them so...maybe this guy will help:

Even the cops think this is crap: One Cop To Another: Don't Arrest Phelps for Bong Photo

Enough with the hypocrisy and hype.....pot leads to getting the munchies and falling asleep on the couch. Time to get with the program here and legalize it!

The Monday after Super Bowl Sunday!

I'm pretty sure this should be a national holiday...The National Day of Recovery

There's a chance that this one particular Monday is one of the most unproductive of the year....even if you're not horribly hung over, you spend half the day talking about the game, the party you were at and the commercials.

So let's stop kidding ourselves and make this a national holiday! Who's with me?

Pro athletes who think that god not only watches their sport, but also roots for their team and intervenes to help them win

This iPeeve was inspired by this article I saw the day of the Super Bowl:
Tampa's Sacred Heart Catholic Church is filled with Steelers fans. Saw a Terrible Towel being dipped in holy water.

And then listening to these players talk during pre-game, you wold think that god was a super linebacker who single handedly carried them into the Super Bowl.

Now, I could really care less what your belief system is, but anyone in their right mind can hear the absurdity in all this.

Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that there definitely is a god...is he really taking Sunday's off to watch football? Doesn't that go against some commandment? And how is it that he seems to root for different teams every year?

Just a thought, but maybe he's got better things to do.

A Service Technician will arrive between 8a-12p...this does not guarantee he will not be delayed and arrive after scheduled time.

Inevitably he will show up at 12:01p
