The Leftovers
I know, who likes leftovers? Nobody generally likes anything that has been left over — unless it is something you want and somebody left it over there. The following is a list of left over irritating bits that don't quite make a whole.

- Those little stickers on fruit
- Guys that tuck in their sweaters
- Door to door religion peddlers
- Prices that end with 99 cents
- Looking for the TV remote
- Paper cuts
- People who point to their wrist as they ask you what time it is. I know where watches are worn. How about I point to my crotch and ask where the washroom is!
- Guys who wear a ring on every finger
- People who roll around a puddle of mucus in their throats then spit a huge wad onto the sidewalk
- Justin Bieber
- Small plastic toys tethered to a plastic package. Don't you feel sorry for the poor 12-year-old third world displaced rural girl who had to leave her indigenous farm to earn 99 cents a month by tying in every Polly Pocket shoe with small bits of wire made in the factory across the street?
- People who burp talk
- Those hard, sticky, teeth-gluing, dirtcoloured candies made specifically for Halloween
- People who high-five during sex
- Men who wear every key they ever owned on a ring attached to their pants.
- Plastic packaging that is impossible to open
- The fact that a large Tim Horton's coffee is $1.52 (BAN THE PENNY!)
- Old ladies who wear too much rouge
- Girls with hair so big they have to sleep on their faces
- People who reek of effort
- People who wear their Bluetooth Lieutenant Uhura ear thing when not talking to anybody
- Old men who jingle the change in their pockets
- Staticy hair
- Parents who stand on the sidewalk while their children try to sell you something at your door
- Looking for that small letter 'L' on headphones
- Rusty water
- Justin Bieber
- People who don't know how to use email, and insist that computers are the downfall of humanity
- Short, white, curly old lady haircuts
- People who say "No" when you ask them on the phone if they just woke up
- Guys who wear sock-stuffed neon spandex, a striped helmet and wind resistant sunglasses when they ride their bikes down the road to the corner store
- Constant commercials for Cialis and Viagra
- People who hold a conversation in a different language in front of you
- People who wear sunglasses inside
- Couples who walk down the street with their hands in each others' back pockets
- People with white foam at the corner of their mouths
- People who forward stupid jokes
- 1950s movies that break into song
- Skorts
- That moment when you are left alone with someone you don't know and you are forced to talk about something
- Creeps
- Cheats
- Mock meats, and
- People on the bus that take up two seats

It is said that if you do not look at yourself you will see much, but then I would have nothing to write about.
