Me: "What would you like for dinner?"
Wife: "Anything, Doesn't matter"
Me: "Tacos?"
Wife: "Nah,,,had them for lunch"

Man, that irks me.....

Me: “Wanna watch a movie?”
GF: “Sure, but I don’t care what movie”
Me: “how about Ted, Jurassic Park, Hunger Games, Eat Pray Love, any Cameron Diaz movie?”
GF: “No I wanna watch Despicable me”
Me: “OK”

10minutes in, she’s on her phone or asleep.
They approach every decision the same. “Doesn’t matter… no I don’t wanna”

Her: Where do you want to go tonight?
Me: [uh-oh here we go] Oh, I don't care, it's your call.
Her: No. You pick, I always pick.
Me: [knowingly] Cantina Loco (my fav mex joint)
Her: No.
Me: Blue Monk? (kick ass beer selection)
Her: No
Me: Sea Bar? (sushi)
Her: I think I'll make veggie wraps. I don't feel like going out.
Me: Honey, would you be so kind as to hold this rubber tube tight while I insert the needle? Thanks

Oooh... I got one.

When there are three people walking towards you taking up the entire sidewalk and they don't effing move over.

Like, seriously, nobody should have to step off the sidewalk because your self-absorbed asses can muster enough comprehension to exercise some common freaking courtesy. I used to move, now I play chicken (unless it looks like they have something contagious, that said, the street people are usually more polite than the hipsters).

Loch brings up a great point...

Hipsters irk me... Plain and simple...

in my case , the one headed straight for me is usually texting and receives a ''wakey wakey'' call out when they get within 10 feet of me

They kinda ruined it for everyone. Pissed off lumberjacks with that whole beard-as-a-fashion-statement thing. Pissed off rockers for ripping off their tatts and denim. Hell, even nerds are pissed for having to continually explain that "No, I need these glasses. They're prescription lenses."

Plaid flannel shirts that I've owned for decades remain in my closet.

When she says:
“Nope it is fine”
“No I don’t want you to do that”
“No, do whatever you want”

Damn talking in code. At a point I just wanna yell, “What do you want me to do?” then I’ll get the, “Whatever you want to do”. In my head I have Admiral Ackbar yelling “IT’S A TRAP”.

Video is reminiscent of what we go through some days.


1. Those damn 80k drivers are out and about again. Grrrrrr
2. A lady threw out a smoke butt while driving in front of me this am. A big one. Then kept her left hand outside of the window waving it around care-free....like it didn't see that lady. Litterface
3. Why does the comedy network here in Canada not have more than 2 commercials in their circulation. It's always the same ones!!! And long enough that I can easily clean my dishes in the sink and prep desert.
4. Horse flies! took half of my leg this am. no. reason. to. be. on. this. planet.
5. Ah, Gas prices again!! up, no down, wait, up, no down, ok about the same, now down, wait up.......just pay up sucker
6. Soiled and seeded part of my lawn, water ever night while getting eaten alive, it's been 7 days and about 100 blades of grass have appeared. wtf

[Instant Karma]

Another thing that kills me is people who are walking backwards right into you while they're talking to someone else, even though you're there telling them "Hey dude, I'm right here behind you."

Makes you want to hit them over the head with a baseball bat just to see if that would get their attention.

My daughter is dating a fellow who is partners in a hipsters sports bar in Toronto. I've been there a couple of times and found that they are the super friendly. LOL They also belong to an axe trowing league as well, which I will be trying out soon. Hey Axeman, have you ever tried it? There was a scene on Hockey Wives where the girls went axe throwing. Looks dangerous!

If the walking and texting thing really gets to you, I propose a new sport:

Cell Phone Jousting!

Walk around with a hockey stick/closed umbrella/whatever under your arm and see if you can joust the cell phone out of someone's hand. Sure, it is kind of a dick move, but if they were watching where they were going it wouldn't be an issue!

i'm moving to a hipster neighborhood. I'm gonna try to change the face of it.

Even better: if caught texting and walking you become a participant in a real-life game of Carmageddon.
