You are grumpy, impatient and cynical. I like that in people. Two Sundays ago, I made a list of people, places and things I'd like to delete, with the same efficiency I delete obnoxious phone messages: 3-3-7.

I asked for your 3-3-7s.

I had no idea.

Some 200 responses later, I've refined your deletes, categorized them and listed them for your teeth-grinding convenience. I hope it makes you feel better.

Charter members of the 3-3-7 Hall of Fame include: Telemarketers. Barking dogs, political attack ads and incessant weather warnings on TV. Cell-phone users. Rude drivers of all types: Drivers who don't signal, drivers who drive on the shoulder during a traffic jam (what, are you SPECIAL?), drivers who speed up when you're trying to pass them.

Essentially, any driver who isn't you.

The rest of the world's first 3-3-7 list:

Celebrities who go public with their politics. George Clooney doesn't think we should go to war with Iraq. Yeah? So?

Along those lines, a 3-3-7 hook to: Barbra Streisand, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, Alec Baldwin, Jane Fonda and Rosie O'Donnell.

Line-jumping.

Fields-Ertel Road, Beechmont Avenue, Glenway Avenue.

Wild-eyed weathermen and their amorphous animated graphics covering a third of my TV screen.

"Customer service representatives.'' Human oxymorons.

Talking to a PC technician on the phone. Especially when the techie barely speaks English.

Paul Daugherty.

Paul Daugherty's column.

Any Enquirer that doesn't have Paul Daugherty's column in it.

People who leave grocery carts in the parking lot.

People who stop at the top of the escalator.

Mothers-in-law who accuse their daughters-in-law of making their sons fat.

Banks who scrutinize my $20 check while Bill Erpenbeck lives the good life in Florida.

Dick LeBeau's constant spitting during Bengals games.

Donald Trump shilling for McDonald's. Like he eats there.

The Artimis System.

Rubberneckers.

Emergency vehicles blocking traffic for an accident on the shoulder.

People who act differently toward people with disabilities.

The pet psychic.

People who call you and say, "Who is this?"

Call waiting.

TV people who wear their "frownie faces" when they want me to know the news is serious. Like I needed their help.

People opposed to school levies, who need to know there are teachers out here spending up to $2,000 of their own money each year on their kids and their classrooms.

Whitney, Britney, J-Lo etc. Their loves. Their losses. Their opinions. Please: Shut up.

Carol Williams' hair.

Paul Daugherty's picture in the paper. He's not 30 anymore, I don't think.

Attack ads that eliminate civil debate.

Phone menus. Yo, computer voice: Press this.

People who claim Mike Brown is a nice guy. And a good businessman.

The Enquirer TV listings, that don't include Animal Planet or ESPN Classic.

Store clerks talking on the phone while you wait in their line.

I could go on, but then I'd have to 3-3-7 myself.

Nobody likes a whiner.
