I assign to Mordor people who use others as a dumping ground for all their "problems" with out ever asking if the other people have problems of their own to deal with.

the researchers are going crazy in mordor. Their latest success is this:

That subtle 'Christmas Spirit' that is in fact a cheap imitation that is bent on subverting teh real Christmas Spirit. It manifests itself in such things as:

Fake Chirstmas trees.

Christmas sweaters with pom-poms sewn on the front.

Fake powdered Christmas drinks.

Blow up Christmas things for your yard. how tacky can you get. (it's even worse because they deflate every night, turning into a blob of colored plastic on front laws)

Far overdone Christmas decorations. These include large signs, too many, too flashing lights, randomly flashing lights, sleighs on the roof, etc.

Not related to Christmas is snow that is threatening to snow you in when you paid 30 bucks for a Trans-Syberian Orgestra ticket, but wouldn't show up a week earlier.

1420!

ATM'd:

The concert goer who insists on tapping out the beat to the music, even if quietly done, and who is always . . . always . . . at least a half beat behind the band.

And the unrepentant, desafinado hummer

I am bringing a squirt gun next time . . .

People who constantly, aggrevatingly and exacerbatingly give you directions on how to drive your car when you're doing very well on your own, thank you, and the instructions are only a distraction that increase your probability of having an accident.

People who randomly distribute tacks over pavements, continually deflating my bike tyres.

Edit: Also, opponents to the metric system. Vive le metre! I demand a metric clock.

Having to travel two hours to go to school tomorrow for a SINGLE class, when I could have started my Christmas break today. Especially when all I'll be doing in that class is listen to my World Lit prof talk about "Antigone" and butt in (at her insistence) every now and then.

My neighbors when they sit up until 1:00 in the morning laughing loudly over who knows what when 23-hour quiet hours for finals week started 2 hours before and I want to sleep. The same people who play music loudly while I'm trying to sleep in and my roommate is trying to study. Other than that, I love them...
