1- When did stamps get so expensive?!? I thought this was an “old-fashioned” way of sending something that should cost a few cents… do you know it runs me almost a whole dollar ($.98 cents) to send a measly little letter to the States? No wonder everyone’s giving up on the art of the handwritten note!

2- And speaking of expensive, what’s up with the cost of public transportation? I’m all for less cars on the road and trying to do your part environmentally-speaking, but when it costs $3 to take a bus one way and another $2.75 to take the lousy ‘tro a few stops, it’s almost worth paying $6 for parking and being warm and cozy in your own car listening to The Scientist for the 1000th time and sipping on a travel mug.

3- You know that guy who drives right up your ass, tailgates for awhile, gets frustrated and crazily veers around you only to hit a red light at the next intersection? I loathe that guy… and I thank the red-light gods.

4- I watch a lot of TV shows I’m embarrassed/ashamed of – I love Jersey Shore and I still can’t help but love The Real World (even though the “kids” on there seem so darn young!), all the Housewives series are amazing (blush), and there’s something about Antiques Roadshow that I just dig (I MUST be getting old if a PBS PROGRAM is on my list of guilty pleasures!).

5- Those penis enhancement commercials give me the heebeejeebees. There’s always some schwarmy-looking older dude with a creepy grin and a pair of geezers who are giving each other “the eye” across a crowded room. It’s kinda icky. I always change the channel when I start hearing that “suspicious” music.
