So just because I’m celebrating the holidays in a village 4 hours from Bogota where it seems like time has halted, doesn’t mean I’m not going to find a way to keep an honored tradition alive and well…festivus. And it seems that 2009 did not disappoint in making my list of grievances quite lengthy. So without further ado, on with the show:
- Getting sick on the plane. Simple, I got bronchitis and paid for it badly. Regardless, it still beats the stomach flu.
- having to convert to metric for just about everything. It’s a pain in the neck, why can’t our country just jump on the metric bandwagon?
- The draconian rules that regulate the App Store. Then apple still wonders why people still jailbreak their phones.
- The Jersey Shore
- The earbuds that come with the iPhone that seem to last about a week before they fizzle.
- Cable TV in Colombia…and I thought Time Warner had a cheesy selection of channels.
- That telemarketer who called me while I was in Bogota. The caller ID did not look anything like a real number, but when I found out who it was, I hung up. Still. t-mobile was going to charge me $3 anyway…fail.
- ABC who decided to cancel FlashForward…why? I mean you couldve cancelled V instead.
- people who gloat about their vacation plans every day for weeks before their travel date knowing that in this economy, some people can’t afford said luxury.
- The NY Mets…as a fan, again you find new and amazing ways to dissapoint me. I won’t go into semantics, but aside from blowing the season, I now have to hear it from Yankee fans every day.
- Windows 7…it still annoys me even when I try to use it.
- Still no flash for the iPhone…what the hell
- The bigwigs of the NYCMTA…if this was a driving society like Miami, you all wouldn’t last a second. I hate you like I hate swine flu.
- repeated pop-up msgs on my phone reminding me about the affects of data roaming…yes, I get it, it’s been disabled already!
(I’ll add more as they pop in my head)
