THINGS I HATE - #2 AND #3

My daughter has a blog called "10 Things I Hate". It's pretty funny because most of us hate the same things. But when you see it in print, it sounds funnier.

So, once again, as a tribute to my daughter, here's something else I hate. Actually, there's two things coz I'm feeling cranky.

My wife stands in front of the TV when I'm trying to use the remote. The remote won't work coz her body is in the way. I think she does it on purpose. I lean way over to the right and hold the remote at arms length and then to my left. She's still blocking the receiver. I wait for her to move. What the heck is she doing just standing there, fiddling with something? It makes me crazy. I don't stand between her and the stove! Why does she stand between me and the TV. It's not right.

Know what else I hate? (#3) When my wife throws dog toys directly across my view of the TV screen. It is so bloody distracting. The dog is barking and scampering on the carpet, trying to catch the toy in her mouth - which she never does. Then she picks up the toy, takes it back to my wife, who once again, throws the toy across my view of the TV.

My wife and the dog need to get their own room so I can have some peace and watch my favourite TV shows without people or flying objects getting in the way.
