Anger management
The View from Wonderland

It's always the little things in life. The little things either make you happy or piss you off. In my case I tend to get easily pissed off.
These little things might not make much of a difference in the big picture of life but they are really bothersome. Bothersome to the point where I have to devote an entire column to them
Ugg boots piss me off. Those things are the ugliest footwear I have ever seen. They are a horrible color and look like something an Eskimo would wear. No offense to Eskimos.
I see them and want to yell at the girl, "Those are UGLY, just because Paris Hilton wore them once does not make them stylish."
Guys who sip Red Bull piss me off. Honestly there is no need to sip a Red Bull. Those cans are tiny. Red Bull was made for two reasons. One of those reasons is to mix with various kinds of alcohol. The other is to gulp it as fast as you can for a quick energy boost. There is no sipping of Red Bulls. If you have ever sipped a Red Bull consider yourself a wuss.
People who ride elevators one floor piss me off. I hate people who do this. Honest to God, hate. Unless you have some physical handicap preventing you from going up and down stairs, there is no excuse for taking an elevator one floor. I see it all the time, especially during the various rush hours around the school. Taking an elevator for two floors is even stretching it. I hate having squish into an elevator at Sawyer only to see people get off at the third floor. People who do this should be beaten, then banished from society.
Pushy vegans also piss me off. I don't care about other people's eating habits, but when people on the Commons try to push it my face and harass me to give up meat, then I have a problem. How come it is ok for bobcats to kill cows and eat them but not ok for us? Considering humans are just really smart animals, it seems to me we just made a more efficient and better way to kill cows and eat them. You'll get my hamburger when you pry it from my cold dead hands.
Bandwagon fans, I hate bandwagon fans. There is nothing worse then a bandwagon fan. They come, swoop up some glory and lie about how they believed in the team 100% and were there the whole season. In reality, they saw the Red Sox success as an excuse to get drunk, bought their first Red Sox gear last week and are the jerks on the front lines of the massive riots at Kenmore.
Come to think about it, a lot of things piss me off or make me mad, way too many to put in this column, however.
I just decided to highlight a few for everybody, just to warn them.
So if you're an Ugg boot-wearing, Red Bull-sipping, bandwagon fan that rides the elevator one floor and yells at people for eating meat, then stay the hell away. I'm just warning you.
