I found this blog through googling the phrase, ‘Why are ballerina flats terrible and uncomfortable?’ Thanks for affirming I’m not the only one who finds these shoes impractical, ugly, and disgustingly cheap on the manufacturer’s behalf. The thin soles were designed for dance floors, not to make everyone look stumpy and feel every pebble, while straining their arches, walking on city streets.

Comment on 17) Bad Commercials by Jaye

I agree mostly because of the overabundance or commercials for erectile dysfunction and herpes meds that play during dinner time. I also seriously hate the commercials for Celebrex about how all Nsaid pain relievers have the same warning that commercial is so damn long and annoying i want to kill someone when it is on.

I obviously have not checked your site in a while and was unaware that you added this post. I, being of “ballerina profession” happen to HATE those things as well. First of all, they are uncomfortable because they have no support at all and second, if you are short they make you look like an elf. You are right on as usual!

Comment on 13) Old Women Who Continue To Use Checkbooks by Maureen

Thank you. I have the experience you described every single day at the record store I work at. Additionally, we have a check processing machine and I tell people who want to pay with a check that they don’t even have to fill out their check since we process it and give it back right away. Every single time they ignore me and go on filling out every detail of the check, making sure their penmanship is perfect. Then when I give them back their check and ask them to sign for it they act like it’s a huge inconvenience.

Sir, I would like to shake your hand. Your list of annoying shoes match mine exactly. Although I might put the stupid eskimo boots as most annoying, but only because they’ve been extremely popular for a lot longer. And girls are still wearing them with their fucking sweatpants tucked in. Crocs are offensive for obvious reasons. Although I have to feel a little sorry for people who wear them because I suspect they’re only doing so because they’ve completely given up on life. But those goddamn ballet flats are everywhere. It’s amazing how stupid people are. Just because they see everyone wearing something it becomes attractive to them.

Comment on 14) Non-Handicapped People Who Park in Handicapped Parking Spaces by BRAXTON!

While these violator’s “simply have a complete and total disregard for any of societies rules,” you seem to have a complete and total disregard for the rules of grammar. And it is balls that allows them to park in handicapped spaces. I once had a girlfriend who would park in them and then limp into the store. The proof, as they say, is in the pudding…And a hand full of nuts quickly ended that relationship.

While these people certainly piss me off, I would have to disagree with your ‘Balls Theory’ (and not because females do this too).

Notwithstanding the occasional punk teenager with his mom’s car packed full of neighborhood delinquents, doing it just for a good laugh, I believe most violators simply have a complete and total disregard for any of societies rules.

These are the people doing 75 mph in residential areas with 40 mph posted speed limits. They’re the people who are always in a hurry, but for no particular reason. The type that order those $9 cups of coffee from Starbucks - you know, the ones with ridiculous names such as Grande Whipped Caramel Expresso Mocha Java Sunshine Lattes with ‘just a squeeze of honey’.

I think if someone had the chance to follow one of these people around for a week, parking in a handicap spot would likely be the least offensive thing observed.

On a ‘parking faux pas’ side note, I’d like to extend an additional ‘Fuck you’ to the people who spend 20 minutes circling the parking lot looking for that one space that is going to save their fat asses 10 feet of walking. If you’d like an interesting conversation, try explaining to one of these people that they could have already been in the store if they had just parked further away - eyes glaze over and stupid facial expressions ensue.

However, I’d be remiss in my hatred for people parking in handicapped spots if I didn’t point out that the parking lot circlers are at least following the rules. Lazy as they are, they at least have proven their abilities to read.

Classic! I find that most people i see doing this tend to get out of the car and then act like they are doing nothing wrong. Then again i have done this at my current place of employment at least once because there just were not any other parking spaces.
