Can it not wait 45 seconds until you finish...plus all that toothpaste foam and impeded tounge envolvement because of the brush in your mouth...C'mon people clean it up. A stack of un-uniformly folded towels...some folded this way some folded that way...it's just sloppy. Having the front pockets in my pants full of anything...keys, wallet, pack of gum, swiss cake roll, etc...if it's bulky it's out. Toilet paper despencers behind you so much so that your back cracks as you twist and reach for a hand full of 2-ply. If I catch a cramp trying to accomplish this task something's wrong. The guy in the gym who tries to give everyone workout advise...even though his upper body accounts for 80% of total body mass. Organic foods...They taste like crap and they don't make that much difference. An egg is an egg people... People who criticize a movie because it's not word for word like the book. Guess what?? I waited till the DaVinci Code came out in theatres so I wouldn't have to read the book. Facebook religion status'...I thought some of these church marquee's were corny. Waiters and waitresses assuming I enjoy lemon with my water... OK...I'm done...catharsis!!! People trying to talk whilst brushing thier teeth. Can it not wait 45 seconds until you finish…plus all that toothpaste foam and impeded tounge envolvement because of the brush in your mouth…C’mon people clean it up.

For example: "I'm literally freezing to death," or "I'm literally starving." It makes me want to figuratively give them a knuckle sandwich.
