Dazed and Annoyed

Is it me or are people getting more annoying lately? Maybe I am just cranky and more easily annoyed. Hard to say. Remember the mean people next door who walk through our office? They've really stepped it up a notch lately. They walk through having LOUD cellphone conversations. They leave their door cracked open so we can hear their gab-fests. One of them has a Nextel walkie-talkie thing so it makes that "chirp-chirp" noise at the end of each of his sentences. On Tuesday his constant use of it almost drove my coworker to violence. Last week they walked through and one said to another "When will THIS space be ready?" Okay, we get it - you want us out. Jerks. I'm annoyed by the people who continue to cheer for and vote for David and Dania on America's Got Talent who have done the exact same act four times. Wearing a different dress is NOT changing the act and people booed the honest judge who said exactly that. People have been louder, ruder and dumber in the past couple of weeks and the time has come to knock it off. Of course, my readers are not these people. We are the last sane few - the rocks of reason jutting out of the sea of stupidity. Sorry, folks, I've got no clever solution for this one, just a rant.
