Fighter jets flying over a football stadium immediately before the game. It confirms the Roman bread-and-circuses nature of the entire affair.
Seven hundred channels to choose from, but nothing worth watching except Transformers re-runs.
What passes for witty conversation today.
When an opposing attorney completely ignores the argument I made in a motion and simply re-asserts what he has said a hundred times before. It makes the reply easier, but it's still mind-boggling.
Men who act as though the highest goal of life is to impress women.
Having to say my name three times before somebody understands it.
People who send a rapid succession of incoherent text messages rather than a single coherent message, especially when I'm trying to respond but have to pause each time to check the latest one.
Whenever someone decides to park right next to my car even though there are plenty of open spaces to choose from.
Any native speaker of a foreign language who takes a high-school or college class for that language just to score an easy "A."
People who look in one direction but begin walking in another, directly into me.
Drivers who don't signal. Even worse are the drivers who signal after already having changed lanes; if you're going to drive badly, at least have the courage to stick to your guns.
Reading a news story about some unfortunate and deadly accident that was nobody's fault, but knowing that a lawsuit will be filed before the funeral.
People who spell "free rein" as "free reign" or say "could care less" when meaning "couldn't care less." Even worse are the people who defend these errors when informed of them.
Americans who think that we must sacrifice liberty to preserve either safety or economic prosperity, failing to grasp that America was founded on the notion that liberty is far more important than either of those objectives.
