What grinds your gears?

Hello, Readers.
Quite frankly, I’m getting pretty sick and tired of pulling out my hair and banging my head off walls to come up with new ideas for this blog. So I have a challenge for you.
That’s right. YOU.
I challenge you to write about what grinds your gears the most – whether it’s that contact lens that is always inside out or the lead pencil that always breaks at the most inconvenient times. I don’t really care as long as I don’t have to write it.
But, if you are going to accept this challenge, make it the best thing you have ever written! Make it so funny that I pee my pants reading it. (I will be reading these at home to save myself the embarrassment.) Or, make it so vivid that I can see the anger boil off the page (and then please go see a counselor to deal with your anger issues).
Now, the winner of this competition will be chosen by, of course, me (this is no democracy), and his or her blog will be posted as my next one, with a short explanation as to why I thought it was utterly fantastic.
The winner of this competition could be picked and go down in history for several reasons. One, the article is so funny that it sends me ROTFLOL-ing. (That’s “rolling on the floor laughing out loud” for those of you that aren’t up to speed on your text message lingo.) This part of the challenge will be too easy, though, for I am amused by almost anything. So let’s up the ante a little bit.
This article better be so heated and passionate that I have no choice but to agree with this person as to why it is upsetting, for fear of losing my own life in an effort to bring you the best stuff.
Lastly, I may choose a winner because the article that I read was so unfathomably horrible that I thought the writer might need a personal boost.
Now write, readers, write! And send me your articles when you are finished. I will then select a winner (or who knows, maybe more than one winner if you really catch my attention) and post it as my next blog.
Send your items to me at dannyrez@yahoo.com no later than April 27, 2010.
