What REALLY grinds your gears?

[over the mountain]

1. that stranger's hair that always seem to be sitting there waiting for you on the title page when you open up a used book.

2. people who buy you used books as presents. its fucking disgusting. books are private affairs that get subject to the most perverse human fluids. if you buy a used book and give it to people as presents ... stop it. how the hell can i concentrate on the story if i have constant chatter in the back of my mind saying "omg! omg! this is disgusting! omg i hope there isnt another fucking random person's stranger hair on the next page." - flip page - "omg why the fuck is this stranger hair curly? i couldnt be? W. T.F. im burning this book ... after i go throw up."

if you insist on buying people used books, at least give them the common courtesy of also buying them a pair of sterile medical gloves for them use while handling and flipping the pages.
