It's *just* snow, people. Get a grip.

I'd been waiting and waiting for a great big snowstorm, since the last snowstorm that managed to shut anything down occurred back in '02 (in NYC). Wouldn't you know it, the minute I move away, the NE gets hit with not one but two big azz storms. Grrr.

As I type this, the Washington metro area is getting hit with significant snowfall; an actual blizzard. That said, it's just snow, people! Get a grip.

Is there a need for this:


Or this?

It's not like anyone's living in the middle of the woods, hundreds of miles away from their closest neighbor and/or civilization. If you really do run out of food (highly doubtful that there would be NOTHING left in your pantry after a day or two of being "trapped" indoors), I'm sure you could order in. If the pizza guy won't deliver, there's always Chinese.

Also, it doesn't help that even the WaPo is getting into it by declaring the current state a "snowmaggedon". Really, WaPo? Really???

People, really??? Is this really necessary???

Sadly, some of my neighbors think so since I hear this stupid sound pretty much every day outside my windows.

Pet Peeve No. 1 (or near the top anyway)

Roadwork past midnight outside my window. For the love of all that's decent and good in this world is jackhammering at this time of the night really necessary???

Men who sit on the subway with their legs spread at a 90 degree plus angle. They look like they're getting ready to do some birthing. Either that or they've got some physical problems with their sacs that prevents them from closing their legs for fear of doing themselves some serious injury. If the latter, please seek professional assistance lest one day you piss me off enough that I take care of your problem for you.
