Things That Make Me Go Grrr! — Listen, people ... When you're answering the phone, especially when caller ID tells you who is calling, try to be cheerful. For crying out loud, there's nothing worse than hearing a stern "hello" on the other end of the call. Kind of makes your caller want to hang right up. — Listen, employers ... Those BlackBerries you give to your employees are great little pieces of technology, but you do know how annoying it is to their families when mommy or daddy is a slave to the thing long after they get home from work? — I don't want to hear "God Bless." You know what, whenever some stranger tells me "God Bless," I immediately find that person suspect. Immediately. I can worship on my own time, thank you. — Don't invite me to your home and then be disappointed in the kind of guest I am. If you don't like me, don't invite me. I won't be offended. — Yes, people eat fast food. That's why McDonald's, Wendy's, Hardee's, etc., all do great business. When confronted with a co-worker eating french fries — I know it's hard — refrain from the "That's not healthy" comment. — All due respect to the onion trade, I hate onions, and am in the habit of ordering everything — even pizza, with NO ONIONS. Why do restaurants put onions on everything? Hamburgers, pizza sauce, roast beef sandwiches, pasta dishes, onions, onions, onions! — There is a time and place for politics. The summer barbecue at the neighbor's house is not one of them. Politics are a polarizing thing. Keep yours to yourself, and if you don't, be prepared for a debate. And if you don't like the response you hear, remember you started it by praising Madonna and the "Concerts for a Globe in Climate Crisis."
