Things That Can Drive You Crazy

Complete strangers who address you as “Buddy,” or “Fella,” or “Big guy”

Restaurants with items on their menu that they describe as being “World Famous”

People who use rakes on cement

Baby/Toddler clothes that are “dry clean only”

When you’re unsure whether “1” or “9” is the higher setting on your toaster, or the colder setting for your refrigerator

Drivers who don’t use turn signals, roll through stop signs, honk at pedestrians, or can’t park in the middle of a parking spot

Not knowing whether a beer bottle has a twist off cap, or needs a bottle opener. If a cap doesn’t twist off, shouldn’t they be obligated to warn you?

Credit card, cell phone, and cable/internet type companies with automated answering systems requiring you to dial in your account number, phone number, zip code, or social security number, then when you’re transferred to a living, breathing person they ask you for the exact same information

Re: Buddy, Fella, Big Guy. I've noticed a big uptick in being called "Poppy" (or is it "Popi?") by Latino fellas, er, guys. Isn't that like calling me "Daddy" a la "Who's your Daddy?" Makes me really nervous.
