Hate: a double posting
1. Whenever the local public library leaves me a voice mail message telling me that I have a book or CD ready for pickup, they always say, "You must bring in your library card to check out these items." Uh duh. And there's no way to get them NOT to call you when a book is in. There's no such option. You must just accept their repeated calls...yes, repeated. If three books come in on the same day, you will get three different voice mails.
2. I went home for lunch and while I was there, the doorbell rang. I stepped out the door of my apartment and the guy across the hall was just doing the same thing. "Did someone ring your bell?" I asked. Dude said yes. "Well, we'll see who it's for," I said, KNOWING. We went down to the building door and he let in a friend of his. "Did you just ring the bell for number six?" I asked him. "Uh, yeah, sorry," he said. I truly do not understand this phenomenon. I really don't.
