Condescension from doormen.

While being a perfectly decent profession, having become a doorman or doorwoman for a fancy building doesn't necessarily mean you have reached the highest echelon of society - it's more like you're a slave to it. So, why are you looking down on me with such disgust for wearing casual or dirty clothing and entering your place of work?

I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN!! For some reason, I have to sign in and show a drivers license to get into my dentist's building. And it's just some old codger sitting there. He's the front line between the medical offices and the TERRORISTS!!

Using mobile phones at the register. » Stocks continued their climb into uncharted territory on Friday, racking up the fourth week in a row of gains as encouraging economic data prompted investors to buy shares of growth companies. The Dow Jones industrial average and the Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index finished at highs, driven by gains in energy and industrial shares.

The "insert" button on keyboards. » Anyway, I got the pathology report yesterday and thank God it was benign. But you are so right, we can't be too careful about these things. My BF had a spot on her nose, kind of scaley, and it just wouldn't go away. She had it biopsied and it was cancer. She had to have one surgery to remove it and one for plastic surgery to fix her nose. Scary stuff. She is the same coloring as you, as is my Taylor. I am so careful with her. Sunscreen ALWAYS.

Thanks to a recent torrent of spam, I’ve had to disable comments for a while. I’ve now removed the ability to put links in the comments. Email me if you want to put something in, such as five links to knock-off handbag sites, and I’ll happily oblige.

I’ve added two features to the sidebar: Highest Rating and Hotly Debated. They will be updated daily. To my surprise, the ketchup-in-fridge peeve seemed to really incite some anger — it’s clearly a complex situation that affects us all.

It should be noted that the star ratings indicate how much you agree with, or appreciate, the peeve, not how you feel when it happens.

I will be adding a Paragon Peeves section as well, for my and my friends’ personal favorites.

Please enjoy, and contact me if you have any new feature ideas.
