There are a few things of late that are just getting old, and as a result, getting on my nerves. In no particular order, they are:

1) Reality "stars"- if making a total fool of yourself on national television for a thousand a week makes you a "star", I'll pass...

2) Miley Cyrus, Ashley Tisdale, The O.C., etc.- see #1

3) People on reality shows using names like MILF, TWISTER, SIX PACK, CHARDONNAY, FIESTY, etc.

4) The news using the suffix "gate" whenever a new scandal erupts. This started back in 1972 with "Watergate", which in fact, was the name of the hotel burglarized by Nixon's crew. Since then, it's been Travelgate, Nannygate, Steroidgate. I've always wondered what they would call it if a scandal broke in Congress where a Senator was caught receiving an electronic wrought-iron driveway gate in exchange for political favors.

5) Cell phones or telephones that ring in movies and television shows that sound exactly like yours

6) That "ad" in the beginning of a feature film in the theatre that implores the audience to "be quiet". I love the sentiment, but they use that crying baby sound, and I always fall for it- my blood pressure goes up a hundred points!

7) In a world of DVD's and Blu Ray, having dozens of VHS tapes of some damn good movies!

8) Octomom- can't we just shoot her and move on?

9) Bailing out banks and insurance companies and larges businesses "for the good of the nation", then finding out they took our money, they don't lend out any, and instead use it to through million dollar parties. They should all go under and the CEO's should go to jail.

10) Having a law that makes it illegal to use a cell phone while operating a motor vehicle (supposed to use a bluetooth) and then seeing these a-holes think they can skirt the law by holding a cell and using speakerphone. You know how you can tell which people are still using cell phones while driving? They are the ones driving ten miles slower than everyone else, they have a line of traffic behind them that it looks like a funeral procession, and they have "Obama/Biden" stickers on their bumpers.
