Amazing, but we moved and decided not to pay for HBO since we only watch Curb. Can't wait for this season to come out on DVD.

I have a whole list of things that people do in eating establishments that annoy me. One is the wandering child. I look around and who is at our table and touching things on it but someone's child from across the dining room.
A few mother's days ago my own niece did this. She took a strawberry off someone's cake and popped it into her mouth. I got up while my sister was laughing and grabbed Pushy Spice (my nickname for her) and drug her back to the table. I was mortified.
I also dislike when people bring their dirty laundry (ie. personal relationship baggage/fights/breakingup) to a place where I am eating. If you are too much a coward to confront your love thang in person do it on the phone for crying out loud.
I digress, when people are loud on cell phones in proximity to me I usually do something annoying. This fall my friends and I start singing the badger badger badger song. **WARNING THIS IS ANNOYING** http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOxR7rTYuSI
I enjoy watching people make the funniest faces while I sing the snake O snake part. Usually they turn and walk away right away. Which is the effect we are looking for.
In the summer we all did the Banana Phone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzddYIPkrZY
When I get bored with the latest youtube annoying ditty, I fall back on It's Raining Men or MacArthur Park.
