It's Festivus!

Time for the airing of the grievances:

1. Dog-owners who think off-lease areas are a right. They're not - they're a privilege and you only get it if your dog is under control. Don't make me buy bear spray - I won't limit it's use to your dog.
   
2. The girl who told me "lets just be friends", then never spoke to me again - that phrase doesn't mean what you think it means. All the other girls who said it at least had the ovarian-fortitude to follow through.
   
3. Anyone who calls me "creepy". The response you get might be "fuck you", or I might make a deliberate effort to be super-creepy. Depends on my mood and on whether there are people in my vicinity that I respect.
   
4. Calgary Drivers 1: I don't mind if you insist on driving faster then the current road conditions warrant, but quit crawling up my ass because you think I should drive stupid too. There's another lane immediately to the left, fucking use it.
   
5. Any of my school bullies. It was only a well-honed sense of right-and-wrong that kept me from looking you up years later to deliver a well-deserved beating.
   
6. Calgary Drivers 2: My signal lights are there to inform other drivers of my intentions. They are not "asking for permission". And BTW, signaling is actually a requirement, not a suggestion.
   
7. Stephen Harper. Don't run away like a little girl - take your medicine.

Ahhh, I feel much better now. Now for the feats of strength!

ovarian-fortitude

Bwah!!! Awesome phrase, which I am stealing forthwith!

Amen, brother!

I got ovarian-fortitude from sagaciouslu, though I doubt it originated with him. It's kind of an obvious term to coin.
