A University of Vermont study has shown that Wednesday – not Monday – is the worst day of the week.
Personally, it’s my most favourite day…except possibly Friday. But in the spirit of furthering (or skewing) research, we’ll be doing a “Wednesday-it is” blog every second week.
For our inaugural Wednesday-itis rant (which is late, we know, but we were having such a great day we forgot to complain), we really really really hate:
a) Stupid drivers who slow down for the warning signs. People, when the sign says ‘hazard 2km ahead’ there’s really no need for you to slam on the brakes!
b) Online bookstores selling the same book under a different name. (Okay, so I’m feeling a little bit stupid not knowing that Karen Joy Fowler’s Wit’s End is the same as Karen Joy Fowler’s The Case of the Imaginary Detective – but there should be a disclaimer!)
c) Microwave popcorn. You need a reason? ‘Cause it’s disgusting. That’s all.
and (d) rubberneckers. People who slow down to a crawl past an accident. What, are they looking for dead bodies, blood and guts? Geez, just drive already – or you’ll cause another accident.
