Today is rant day, I've got a few to share:

- Microwave ovens - why ON THIS EARTH do they have to beep every nn seconds after having finished heating and until you open the door? Why do they ALL do that? (Or do you know any (recent) that don't?). Who came up with the idea? That bloke should get shot for that and get a Darwin award. And why did everybody else follow? It's not like the food is still cooking once it's finished, it's a microwave. Ok I calm down now.

- Grockles on commuter trains. If you commute by train you will have noticed them. The train is packed and they occupy empty seats with their bags. They can't be bothered to use the luggage holders or look around them to realize that there is no space left and people can't even get on the train anymore. Of course when you tell them they oblige but how can you be so hermetic and obtuse?

- Squealing. I can't help it, I can't stand girls squealing with excitement. Girls, if you want sexual discrimination to go down you'll just have to stop because squealing just makes it worse.

Well this is good because in those 3 things I hate there isn't a single one in which I play part even one bit. I have never been involved in microwaves. On trains I am a commuter not a grockle. And I am a bloke and don't squeal (actually squealing blokes are even worse).
That's massive: no need to hate myself or self-deprecate, and therefore no feeling sorry for myself right now. An achievement these days.

Note, I have much more in-store, but I need to limit myself not to get completely worked up.
