The pope has pontificated and released his list of new sins. Interesting list, however I felt there were a few more that the church should speak out against. Specifically the following:
1. Over plucking your eyebrows. If you have Trichotillomania you are excused. The rest of you need to put down the tweezers. When you have to paint eyebrows on so that people can read your expression…you have gone too far.
2. Voting when you don’t have a clue about the issues or the candidates. I overheard a woman bragging about voting. She turned to her husband and said, “Who did you have me vote for again?” Oh if only stupid people could self implode when the stupidity reaches absurd levels.
3. Driving slow in the left lane.
4. Smokers who throw the butts of the cigarettes on the ground. I especially hate it when I see drivers flicking their cigarettes. Why can’t you put in your vehicle? You are destroying your body, please leave the environment alone.
5. Cutting in line…at a store, food court, amusement park, or while driving. The rest of us are not waiting in line for our health.
6. Animal cruelty…Think it’s funny? Let me punt you off a cliff.
7. Talking loudly on your cellphone in a public place. I don’t care that your husband was caught sleeping with your sister’s husband. Scratch that, this is better than reality television but you should at least offer popcorn to your viewers.
8. Not cleaning up your dog’s poop when you are walking around the neighborhood.
9. Creating erectile dysfunction ads. These things are popping up all over the place. I think it is a sin that they found a drug to give a man a stiffie but still don’t have a cure for breast cancer.
10. Leaving passengers sitting in a plane on the tarmac for more than one hour.
11. Getting in line to order food before you know what you want. Have you ever been behind the person that thinks the McDonald’s menu is the Rosetta Stone?
12. Pop up ads. Whoever created these suckers should be doomed to crawl through the nine levels of hell.
13. Thinking anyone wants to see your underwear. This goes out to all males that think sagging their pants till I see their crack is cute and to all the females that think I am going to be impressed with the dental floss running up their backside. Pull your pants up or buy ones that fit!

I am with you heart and soul on 6 and 9. Also, I liked your Spitzer piece! Cruelty to animals is my flashpoint—any sign makes me very prone to want to practice Cruelty to Humans. Very wrong of me I know.

Although some of these were funny, they are all very true! Happy TT!

I don’t think I’ve ever agreed more with a list. And I’ve read a lot of lists!

I have to completely agree with No’s. 9 & 10. At least No. 9 should be banned until after 10:00 p.m. local time. I have experienced No. 10 and it just about turns everyone into a terrorist.
Have a great TT

Nice. Better then the “social” sins list the vatican published.
And the fact that you know what Trichotillomania is, made me reconsider my opinion about UGA (but only for a second).

So True!

I have to agree this is a great list. I had to agree with so many of them. Of course, there were a few that I just laughed at because I have said the same thing. Especially #13

I found myself nodding along through your list. Happy TT.

Wow, the Pope has the same pet peeves as me!

I am with you on all of them! I remember when the non-smoking people had to walk through the smoking section in a restaurant to sit in non-smoking. I was at the baseball field the other day and had to walk through people smoking…there are kids (my grandkids) present leave your cigs at home or in your vehicle!
Great list! Happy TT and thanks for the birthday wishes.

You’re hilarious! I think you honest is great because you’re saying what many people are thinking, or should be thinking. Happy TT.

Some of those are very true. By the way, they discovered Viagra by accident, as an unexpected by-product of blood pressure medicine. Re it being a sin for no cure for breast cancer in particular, you’re ok with no cure for testicular cancer?
14 Nicole Austin // Mar 13, 2008 at 7:52 pm
Great list! Love it!

Oh, God. And is number 2 why Bush is in power?
16 fragileheart // Mar 13, 2008 at 10:34 pm
Hahahahah LOVE this list. I have to admit though that I am guilty of number 5 - but in my defence I’ve only done it where it was culturally expected to do so (like in Ireland for example). I’d pick a favourite, but I’d just be re-writing your list so how about I just leave it at I LOVE this list! lol

Nicholas: I wish there was a universal cure for cancer.

Hi, cool list!! #10 is definitely not worse than taking off without the passengers, leaving them stranded in the airport!! (Hint hint, United airlines!!) Anyway, thanks for stopping by my blog yesterday!!
