What Miffs a Tribble?

A lot. But then I'm not your average inoffensive chirring tribble. I'm a real life getting-in-touch-with-her-inner-dragon type tribble. Of course, the list is long, but then I've been in touch with my inner Dragon for a while.

Computer Peeves
  • Netscape crashes just when I've gotten a new keen .gif picked out to add to a page.
  • Trying to learn anything to do with a computer from a manual whose authors include the Marquis de Sade.
  • People who say "read the manual." I mean really, if I were able to read a manual without becoming comatose, I'd do so.
  • Thunder storms that come just at a crucial time when preparing a page.
  • Computer noises that aren't familiar. (The autodestruct sequence noises).
  • Files that get stored in odd places.
  • Web sites that have midis and wavs that are totally not to my taste, slow the loading of the page to a crawl that a wheelchair bound snail could best, can't be turned off, sounds like it was recorded in a coffee tin and freezes the screen up.
  • No, I can't take a pill and "just know" like some people can.
  • Unpredictable weirdness that requires reinstallation of everything.

Parenting Peeves
  • Children with selective hearing. I have no idea where he learned this from, nope, no idea at all... huh?
  • Having a child volunteer to do something the parent ends up doing (baking cup cakes for the class)
  • Having to share the Nintendo because it's his.

General Peeves
  • Stupid people.
  • Stupid people who reproduce.
  • Shoveling snow.
  • Music that makes my teeth hurt.
  • Poorly animated cartoons
  • Dithering television shows that pander to the lowest, most lurid facets of the human psyche and call it "entertainment"
  • People who give me directions using landmarks that burned down a decade ago.
  • Formula mystery novels that leave no mystery.
  • People who cannot stop harping on a subject.
  • People who think that, because they met me one time twenty years ago, they're entitled to a hug.
  • Carpets in kitchens and bathrooms and landlords who put them there.
  • Housework, in all its guises.
  • Hot windless days that I can't barbecue because there is no coal and no money to buy them or the stores are closed so I have to cook inside.
  • Doing stupid things, pulling muscles and realizing just how important not hurting is.
  • Not having the feeling just before I go to sleep that all is right with the world. I want that feeling for once.
  • Broken promises.
  • Mornings.
  • Allergies to furry pets.
  • People who, under the pretense of being psychic, project their paranoias, fears and ugly issues on me and then blame me for being pissed off at them for being so arrogant to presume that they know what's going on in my head.
  • When I'm on my bike, stopped at a stop sign, drivers who insist on yielding to me thus breaking the rhythm of traffic and making my wait at the stop sign much longer than it had to be. (This one is especially true when it's -20C making the wait not only long, but cold.)
  • People who step over my boundaries time after time and then blame my isses for my being pissed off at them.
  • Lies.
