CHAPTER 1

PEEVED

I don't have pet peeves.
I have whole kernels of irritation.

— WHOOPI GOLDBERG





Some people never

Stop talking. The movie starts

Let's all shout: Shut up!





You drank up all the

Coffee this morning so I

Egged your car. Breakfast!





You said that our love
Was better the second time
Around. Try for third.





Whenever my boss

Gets in my face, I just shrug

And say, “Recruiter.”





I've been rear-ended
Two times by texting drivers.




R U 2 stupid?





What goes UP must come

DOWN when bankers are all crooks



LET THEM EAT CAT FOOD.





I moved cross-country

For a guy, then he cheated.

Now he's moving — fast!





When rich people flaunt
   Their money, I point and laugh
And shout, “Hey, Madoff!”





When your kid throws a
Tantrum and everyone stares,
Throw a fit yourself.





When he watches too

Much porn, replace all his faves

With Disney movies.





My colleague got a

Little too ambitious, so

I got him transferred.





When you left the seat

Up AGAIN, I shaved my lithe

Legs with your razor.





When you kept leaving
Your socks on the floor, I washed
Them with my red dress.





You spent all of the

Money on shoes and salons.

I left you the shoes.





When they serve me cold
   Coffee, I spill it on their
Floor. Every damn time.





Meter maid gave me

A ticket while I stood there.

Never paid the bitch.





Since Game Night was most

Every night, I forgot to

Pay the cable bill.





The sign said, “Reserved

Parking.” But reserved for whom?

I'm parking here, bud.





Those so-called pundits
   Are a bunch of losers, so
     I changed the channel.





Match.com “soul mates”

Lied about their age, weight, height,

Job. Outed them right now!





The next time you call

For a cold beer, I won't get

It, I'll drink it.
All.





Politicians are
Low-life losers who can't keep
Real jobs. Vote 'em out!





Bumper to bumper


Traffic, you bully in. I
Curse you and your loins.





You made a pass, I

Resisted, my dog bit you.

Bad neighbor! Good dog!





Blah blah blabedy
Blah blah blah.
So sorry, were

You saying something?





Did you say something?


Or is that annoying sound


Static? Hard to tell.





3, 4, 5 a.m….
   Brain wired, eyes open.
     No Rest for the wicked.





HOW MANY FLYERS

FROM THE GREASY GREEK PIZZA

DOES ONE PERSON NEED?





Dear Yoga Poser:

Twisting like a pretzel is

NOT ENLIGHTENMENT!





Gotta pee, gotta
Pee right now! What the hell are
You doing in there?





Fuck. You could win the

Lotto and still be a damn

Miserable mess.





Hey dude,

I don't know

What they told you but I think

You're a big loser.





The dust bunnies are
Not paying rent. Plug in the
Vacuum already!
