-All those flyers, coupons and junk mail in my post box. No! I don't want your credit cards or updated revamped phone or cable service or your ball point pens with my company name on it and no I don't want to know about your free pizza delivery, we're beyond the free zone. And if you ever really checked what we actually did, you would see that we have absolutely no use for the 1" thick catalogue for heavy equipment and bulldozers.

- Stinging nettles. Stinging nettles and I haven't been getting along at all well this year. They are particularly nasty when you hit them full on, while running in a short nightgown as you concentrate on throwing rocks at deer.

-The GST. I'm behind in my calculations as usual. I wish they would at least pay me for my time invested as their tax collector.

-A new coffee franchise every half block. People on this coast are so over-caffeinated its almost as if they were freebasing meth. I bet you could link the upsurge in aggressive driving and excessive speed directly to the increase in coffee emporiums. Yeah I know, the dark roast is supposed to have less caffeine, but the individual cup size has almost doubled over the past 10 years.   

I'm sure I could think of a lot of other stuff, but this is one of my more magnanimous? days.
