My New TV Thrill

Is anyone else watching Bravo's Things I Hate About You? It's kind of a reality/game show where they take a couple who have been together for a while, and then videotape them going about their days. Each person in the couple identifies several things that drive them up a wall about their mate, it all gets taped, and then it's reviewed by a panel of judges who gets to decide who the more annoying person in the couple is. Fascinating stuff, and Matt and I keep identifying with different people on the show. I yell at other drivers in traffic and often "shoot the bird" out my sunroof (it's so annoying and painful when I forget that the sunroof isn't open). He tends to talk in a goofy little language that is often funny, but is also often annoying.

Anyway, they had this one lady on there last week that drove me crazy. Her big thing was putting Splenda on damn near everything she ate. I'm talking salads here, people. She'd reach into her purse, whip out two or three packages, and dump them all over a chicken caeser. *hork* In one scene, she noticed a waiter looking at her out of the corner of his eye and she confronted him and said, "Hey, it's what I like. What's that saying...don't yuck my yum?" I'm sorry, but what the fuck saying is that? I've never heard it in my life. I think it was something her nutjob little pea brain came up with to justify a truly bizzare compulsion. Don't yuck my...I'll yuck your! Freak!!!
