Thirteen Things that drive Canada crazy!

1. People (like Husbands) that bail on plans because they will have to stay up too late.
2. Warm pillows. I need my pillows to be cool when I go to bed, and if Hubby or Jazz dog warms them up, it's very annoying.
3. People who drive with their signal on when they aren't turning (Seinfeld termed it "the eventual left turn signal").
4. Telemarketers and door-to-door salespeople. Particularly the latter once the kids have gone to bed (the bell rings, the dog goes ballistic, it's a pain).
5. When Kleenex gets left in pockets and goes into the laundry. Not so bad if it waits until the dryer to work its way out, but having little shredded Kleenex bits all over wet clothes (esp darks, esp hang-to-dry)pisses me off!
6. At the grocery store, finding lots of stuff (cheese, yogurt, etc) either close to or past the expiration date!!!
7. Idiot drivers - those who cut people off; those don't pay attention and miss the left turn light; people who don't merge when they should, but wait until the last second; just general idiocy on the road.
8. Underwires that snap or poke through the bra.
9. Construction on the roads!!! Esp when there is no warning about it (example: yesterday, we drove the same way to camp. Today, we were 20 minutes late because we sat in construction traffic. I would have gone a different way IF they had put a sign YESTERDAY to let people know about today!!!!)
10. Dog owners who give the rest of us a bad name by not picking up after their dog, not controlling their dog, etc.
11. The ridiculous power outages in Kanata. Thunderstorms, wind - I can understand. But no power for three and a half hours for no reason is more than a little annoying. Even that would be okay if it was a one time thing, but here - it's like the power goes out if somebody sneezes! (and having to reset all the clocks - ugh)
12. Probably due to number 11 - having clocks that are all different times (just a couple minutes off, but really - you can miss the bus because of a couple of minutes!)
13. People who read my blog and don't comment! Okay, it's not really driving me crazy, but this is an invitation to any lurkers who would like to introduce themselves. I'll read your blog, too - just let me know where to look :)
