The Mad Scientist's Lament: Things That Annoy Me

The topic #ThingsThatAnnoyMe was trending on Twitter on the evening of April 4th and once more the mad scientist in me saw an opportunity.  Being a mad scientist can be a lonely life and there are few people to talk to and share the burdens that come with genius. I am genuinely moved by this chance...to share these personal thoughts on Twitter*.

•  I'm going to work on my experimental teleporter & I've misplaced my Phillips screwdriver! Oh, come on, it was just here! #ThingsThatAnnoyMe

• Not NOW, Mother! I'm experimenting with teleportation! Oooh, I hate interruptions! #ThingsThatAnnoyMe And where is that damn screwdriver?

• No, Mother! That's a FLATHEAD screwdriver! Is it so hard to get good help? #ThingsThatAnnoyMe Oh, just wait! When I perfect teleportation..!

• Found it! Now to start on the teleporter! Wha..? Shoo,fly! Shoo! I'm a SCIENTIST, damn it! MOTHER! There's a fly in here! #ThingsThatAnnoyMe

• Oh,for proper working lab conditions! Working on a teleporter in the basement? Bet they don't deal with this crap at MIT! #ThingsThatAnnoyMe

• I hate MIT! #ThingsThatAnnoyMe Wouldn't let me in,said I was "unstable"."Unstable"? I'll show THEM! With my teleporter,I'll show them ALL!

• NO, Mother! I will NOT keep it DOWN! I am a SCIENTIST! I have a right to rant! And that damn fly is still in here! #ThingsThatAnnoyMe

The End.....or is it? (Yes, it is the end. Stop bothering me.)
