when you dream that you're at work and then wake up and realize it's time to go to work.

uuugh i know!! Like it's not bad enough that you have to actually go to work in the first place ... but then to dream about it. It's just plain torture.

That's billable time.

I hate that! I did that with my shitty retail job when I was in college. I dreamed that I went in for a shift, worked, and went home. Then I woke up and had to GO WORK AGAIN. Damn that.

I dream that I mess up at work all the time, or show up without pants, and then I'm super anxious when I wake up because I am convinced it's going to happen. Isn't this one of Dante's circles of hell?

Thanks to a recent torrent of spam, I’ve had to disable comments for a while. I’ve now removed the ability to put links in the comments. Email me if you want to put something in, such as five links to knock-off handbag sites, and I’ll happily oblige.

I’ve added two features to the sidebar: Highest Rating and Hotly Debated. They will be updated daily. To my surprise, the ketchup-in-fridge peeve seemed to really incite some anger — it’s clearly a complex situation that affects us all.

It should be noted that the star ratings indicate how much you agree with, or appreciate, the peeve, not how you feel when it happens.

I will be adding a Paragon Peeves section as well, for my and my friends’ personal favorites.

Please enjoy, and contact me if you have any new feature ideas.
