I am really, really sick of those damn e-mail hoaxes that are going around. You know the one that says stuff like, “For every person that receives this e-mail, AOL will donate 3 cents to a little girl dying of cancer; if you delete this, you don’t have a heart” kinda stuff? HOAX!!!! You CAN’T track e-mail chain letters. There are also variations where the American Cancer Society will donate money, or some billionaire, or even the Dave Matthews Band. AOL and ACS have denied having agreed to the entire chain letter thing.
Another one that I can’t stand is the e-mail forward that claims that if you send the message to at least 10 people or something, then a certain video will pop up. That one goes straight to the trash. I mean, how can you view a video without opening an attachment. Ppfffttt!
One that I find hilarious (but in a way, also insulting to my intelligence) is the message that supposedly comes from some politician from Nigeria (or some African country; I’ve received several versions), claiming that he needs to get millions of dollars to its rightful heirs, and that by either answering the e-mail (and sending him your house address), you’ll receive half of that money. WOW! Half! Of all the people you don’t know on the Internet, you decided to give the millions of dollars to me! How flattering! How ridiculously insulting! How stupid do you think I am?! Oh, and get this: he heard from a “reliable source” that you (the e-mail receiver) could be trusted with this task. Hmm, a “reliable source”? Now, which of my friends works with politicians in Nigeria? Hmm, I’ve gotta think on that one! *SARCASM*
I also hate the ones that say that Microsoft will give you $50 for every person you send the message to, and another $30 for every person those people send it to, so on so forth. Wow, so Microsoft supposedly gives thousands upon thousands of dollars away in chain letters, for absolutely NO REASON WHATSOEVER!!! What a deal! Dumbasses.
Oh yeah, and who can forget the ones that tell you that if you don’t forward the e-mail, a ghost will come to kill you. I’ve seen that one; and people actually send it around.

Here's a list of what have got to be the crappiest jobs in Middle-Earth:
- Trying to give the "newborn" Uruk-hai baths
- Saruman's manicurist ("The usual, eh? Long and creepy? No problem.")
- Hand-feeding the cave trolls
- Demonstrating Frodo's damn "elbow dance"
- Orthodontist for the orcs
- Uruk-hai's sparring partner
- Caretaker of Moria ("Gotta go dust off the corpses.")
- Giving Hobbits foot massages
- Being in charge of crossing orcs with goblins (I don't even want to think of how that's done)
- Negotiating with the balrog

I kinda have this beef against some bus drivers. Today, the frickin' bus came 15 minutes late; sure, it doesn't sound like much, but when it happens time and time again, it really starts to get to you. And it's not like the bus driver had a good reason to be late, either; I overheard some other passengers say that the bus came on time at the Fairview bus terminus, but for some reason, the driver decides to go off on an extra long coffee break or something (or maybe hanging out with all his bus driver buddies), leaving everybody waiting on the bus. Geez, as if they're not getting paid enough.
It's also really, really annoying when one of the buses skips a shift, so you're waiting for an extra half hour. The drivers seem to get a kick out of doing that on the coldest days. UGH!!!
