Things That Suck More Than Mondays

I'm reinstating an oldie-but-goodie from years back on Piper Patter: Things That Suck More Than Mondays, in which I try to make us all feel a bit better about having to rise and shine on this most dastardly of days.

So...

• Choosing that toilet stall with only those two squares of toilet paper (not mentioning when you get the one with no TP at all... even Mondays aren't bad enough to bring that up!)
• Stubbing your toe
• Funerals

And that's all I've got today. Must go convince myself it's good to be up and about, instead of tucked nice and warm inside the bed.

Happy Monday, y'all.

Here's a peeve of mine:

We're at Hollister (yes, that dark, loud store with some really hot dude's chest as their mascot) school shopping. Nice price on these really soft, heavy tee-shirts for guys. Head to the girls' side of the store, same price, only the shirts are, like, way thin and not even as soft. What gives? Do all girl shirts have to be so thin you can read the bra size through them?

When you go to the library and it's unexpectedly closed. (I suppose it sucks to show up anyplace and discover it's closed, but... the library would be especially suckish)

Got library? Our poor branch has been shutdown for a long time, for roof repairs.

This "thing" sucks when it blows.
It disturbs sleep, ruins picnics, sends everyone scurrying home from a day at the lake, closes amusement parks, sinks ships and can cause helicopter rescues to fail. It grounds flights and delays planes landing, knocks power lines out, kills trees, intensifies storms and is probably the reason Aqua Net was invented.

I'm talking about wind, m'friends, and I'm damn sick of it. Remember that Schwarzenegger movie, Total Recall, where he was at the colony on Mars? Whenever humans left the Dome, they were subject to hurricane-force gales. Yeah, that's what it's been like around here lately.

I'm on the look for the place on planet Earth with least wind. And planning to move there.

Hopefully your Monday sucks less than the following:

• A scratch on your best pair of shades (always dead center on the lens)
• A dead iPod battery
• Cracked heels
• Pretty much anything that requires the use of a Dr. Sholl's product
• Stomach flu

Carry on, and take heart. Tomorrow we shall chuckle at a man's expense.

Why break tradition? Here are just a few things worse than today:

• Finding out your favorite TV show won't air this week (not even a re-run)
• Accidentally deleting something (permanently)
• Viruses (computer and biological)
• Cute shoes that hurt your feet
• Washing that brand-new pair of pants you've waited months to buy, only to have them shrink
• When you discover you've been going around all day with a colorful piece of food stuck between your teeth

Do your Monday, but don't let Monday do you in.
