Things I Hate

Oh, where to start?

I hate the driver of this vehicle, who tried to run me off the road as I was driving down Metropolitan Avenue. He decided he didn't want to wait his turn because his time is so much more important than everyone else's. So he tried to get by me on the right hand side, and when I didn't give way he went anyway because he had the bigger car and I found myself veering into the oncoming lane. When I spoke to him about it when I caught up with him a bit further up on Metro at a red light, he was a complete dick. His wife, who he probably beats, was properly upset about the situation, but the world would definitely be a better place without him, and I hope he has a massive coronary while sitting in his living room. Soon. Very, very soon.











I hate the business of leaving flyers and other unwanted crap at people's homes. That's a bad business model, and I'll digress to say that one thing I LIKE is that in NYC you can post that you don't want crappy fliers, oops I mean "soliciations", and then they're legally not allowed to leave them. And so I additionally hate what went on in this picture. Really? You couldn't take your stolen cart with you to deliver the crap (for which I hope you get at least minimum wage)? And who exactly did you think would steal said crap that you needed to chain it up? And you chose that defenseless tree instead of the metal signpost just a couple of feet from it because why? Well, the one right thing you did was choose to park it in front of the house where an ancient old lady lives who doesn't have the wherewithall to chastise you about it; if you had parked it in front of my house you would have gotten an earfull. Well, actually, if it hadn't been Kevin who took the pic you would've gotten an earfull anyway.


I also hate when film or TV is shot on location. It's nothing but an inconvenience for the locals, and it doesn't benefit the locals, except maybe the fuckers who are renting out their home or business for inside shots; not even the local food places benefit since they always have that fucking huge catering truck which idles all day. And it's never for anything good. Check out the name of the filming for this one; I'm sure if I watched it I WOULD be Bored to Death.


And I know I've talked about this one before, but let me mention again that I hate oversized trucks. They don't fit, and so instead they terrorize parked cars, cause noisy traffic jams, drive up on curbs, take down tree limbs and stop signs, and are generally motherfuckers because they think their business is more important than doing the right thing. Here are 2 separate trucks, from about a week apart earlier this Spring.



And I also hate having my picture taken when I don't feel like having my picture taken.
