The Satan Checklist- The top 6

I am starting a new post called "The Satan Checklist". It is going to contain all the things in this world that I think are from Satan. Now, I want ALOT of viewer input on this. I want this to become a voter list, where you the reader vote on what to add or subtract to the list. Leave me a comment on the blog, or send me a message on Facebook telling me what you think should or should not be in the list. I want it to expand to a Top 20, so here are my first 6 by me.


6. CLOWNS
I remember being maybe 7 or 8 years old when one evening I woke up in the middle of the night. I turned on the television and a show was on that had a clown. I thought it was something for kids...turns out it was Stephen King's "IT" and the clown killed someone and it just about did me in. To this day, I think they are the creepiest things.



5. CELL PHONE COMPANIES
I think most people would agree with me on this one. All cellphone companies, no matter how much they try, no matter what weekly gimics they come up with, they are ALL evil. Yes, T-Mobile, ATT, Verizion, Sprint, Cricket, and whatever else is out there, YOU ARE ALL EVIL! I almost want to follow lead of the Westboro Baptist Church and make a sign that says "GOD HATES CELL PHONES!". They always find a way to come up with bogus and downright illegal charges that you can not fight without a good attorney.

4. UTAH DRIVERS

Everyone says that their city or state has the worst drivers in the country. This is untrue, and is a lie from Satan. It is indeed Utah that has the worst in the country. Now, I have nothing against Interstate 15. I know you are not the one responsible. It is the people who drive on you that causes me concern. It is bad enough that people head bang and sing to heavy metal music going 75mph in a 45mph construction zone. But, do we really need to be doing our makeup, texting, and eating food at the same time? Next time you drive the I-15 and if you agree with me on this, take a moment to thank your interstate for all it does for us, and all the crazy drivers it hosts from hell.

3. MATH

Yes, you heard me. I said math. Satan is the father of math, and therefore it is evil. Remember your parents and teachers always saying "you will end up using this for the rest of your life?" Again, not true. In my 11 years since graduating high school, I have yet to find a reason to do differential equasions while shopping for groceries. I have learned that 55.6% of all statistics are made up on the spot.


2. SPIDERS
Now, let me say up front that I do consider myself somewhat of an animal rights activist. I believe the intentional abuse of an animal is immoral and unquestionably wrong. However, this belief does not extend to spiders. Please do not send a letter reporting me to PETA. This is simply how I feel. They serve no vital function but to creep you out and scare you half to death. I will not even post a picture of one.


AND THE NUMBER ONE THING IN THIS WORLD FROM SATAN IS....

 

1. AIRLINES

I do not claim to hate things in this world. But, I truly hate airlines. I remember by very first real flight when I was a kid. Yes, we all know that all the good stuff is in First Class or Business Class (I have experienced both), but the overall experience now is what is so bad. Remeber the good days when the customer service people on the 1-800 number actually spoke English? Remember when an airline employee who smiled and said "thank you for flying with us today" actually meant it? Yes, things have changed since 9/11. I can appreciate that. I have no problem with additional security. But, I do have a problem with the customer service experience that the airline industry use to once have. Today, a pillow and blanket (after paying up to $10 for it) is considered a luxury item. Yes, while you do get a free in-flight magazine that has all the latest trends from the back issues from 1998, virtually everything has its price. Back in 2006, Continental Airlines actually considered charging people to use the bathrooms....yes, the bathroom! With customer outcry at an all time high, Continental decided to cancel the proposed plan (which is great news for us who eat a pick-up-and-go burrito from an airport vendor).

On the ground, it is no different. Airlines can overbook, doublebook, and re-arrange your schedule without your consent or knowledge. You go to redeem the free flight you have after spending $100,000 on your credit card only to be told it is blacked out. Oh an if you even DARE to complain, you get the one word in the English language which is the worst of all..."Unfortunately". I hate this word. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. It is such a cop out word, especially in the world of commerce. What it means is that no matter how hard you have been screwed by a company, there is nothing you can do, no matter how hard you try. And we all know that the representative on the phone CAN do something, they just wont.

Please message me here or on Facebook and add your items from the world that are from Satan and I will add if appropiate. This list will be updated
