People who should get mad cow disease...

The guy who holds up the line at the store buying scratch tickets. Double Mad Cow to the ones who think they have a system and ask the clerk for serial numbers before buying them.

clerks, toll takers, public servant types who don't say you're welcome after I thank them for some menial task they've performed.

Anyone and everyone who feels the need to pound on their horn every time you are a tenth of a second late after the light turns green.

bicyclists who complain about cars not sharing the road and then break every road rule in existence. I'm more than happy to share the road with you, but if you blow through an intersection and I hit you, it's your fault.

Anyone in a convenience store who uses more than one form of payment. If you buy three scratch tickets and give the guy six bucks and then take out your debit card to buy your basic 100's you're a jerk.

people who boo hometown athletes for legitimately struggling. It's not like they're not trying. If they are, in fact, not trying please feel free to boo. (Hi Manny, I remember you!).

Anyone who ever accuses anyone of being unpatriotic for questioning our leaders.

People in ridiculous places that fear terrorism. Be real people unless you live in a major city the terrorists don't care about you. Most Americans can't find Idaho and you think someone who grew up ten thousand miles from here in a desert could?

Pedestrians who walk SLOWER when they walk in front of your car. It's like a ridiculous old west challenge. Inner city kids almost dare you to look annoyed while they slow to a crawl in front of your car. It's amazing these kids ever get anywhere...ever.

Everyone who complains about how much money athletes and entertainers make. Don't you understand that they are the product that enables the owners to make money and not the other way around?

People who spit on ducks. Enough said.

This is going to be an ever expanding list of people/situations that drive me to the point of throwing a half finished hot dog at someone. Tomorrow I'm going to go through some everyday things that make life more enjoyable.

Also on a personal note I'm becoming a big brother this week. I realized that every thing I've ever done has basically been for me or my family and I'd like to do something for someone else. I'll let you know how it turns out. If anyone is actually reading this then try to remember the weei (www.weei.com/) Jimmython is this Thursday and Friday. It's basically a two day event where weei raises money for the Dana Farber Cancer institute.

Until tomorrow---JK
