One definition of irritating: An old woman sitting behind you in a coffee shop figuring out how to use her new stopwatch.

Dentist decals
I was walking back from a coffee shop the other day when I passed a window sign advertising, “Little Bitches.” I thought, “What the heck is that?”
Then I saw another sign: “Dentistry for Little Bitches!” and I understood that it was a dentist office advertising some kind of kids dentistry. There were cute little kid cartoons all over the “Little Bitches” sign. But I thought to myself, “What a bizarro name.”
I kept walking along this office building and saw another sign.
And another.
And when I read the fifth sign I finally noticed the “r” in the advertisement: “Little Britches.”

Oy.

An argument for world peace
I feel like if world peace were instated, we’d all be more productive.

Duh
I always find it comical when someone smashes their face up against a coffee shop window to gauge space and ambiance.
Uhhh, those of us inside can see you. It is one of those window things, not a one-way mirror.
