Why can't all those geniuses at Microsoft bother to include library alphabetizing in their software? (You know, ignoring a, an, and the at the beginning of titles. You probably learned how to do that in 3rd or 4th grade.) Why did Corel quit including it? When I used to use WordPerfect 5 at school years ago I could alphabetize a list of titles quickly and correctly, but when I got WordPerfect 9, that wonderful feature was gone. Since I've worked as a librarian in one venue or another over many, many years, this is a real aggravation. Either titles starting with "the" are all listed under T or I have to go to the trouble to put ", The" at the end as I do data entry. The first option is totally unacceptable and the second is a major hassle. (Maybe I should track down an old copy of WordPerfect 5—but I bet it wouldn't run on WinXP...)
If your dog barks all night, a lot of people probably hate your guts so watch your back! For over two years now, my end of the block has been subjected nearly every night to hour after hour of deep, loud barking, usually starting around 9 or 10 pm and frequently continuing almost nonstop until 3 or 4 am. Worse, every other dog in the neighborhood starts joining in barking too, though at least these other owners have the courtesy to call their own dogs inside then. And then there are the people who have been trying unsuccessfully to get some sleep who go out and start cussing out the dog at the top of their lungs since they don't know who the owner is to call the cops on him. (The airplanes are peaceful neighbors by comparison!) Can't even identify the offending dog—during the day he's holed up sleeping somewhere and I don't think prowling around in people's yards with a flashlight after dark is such a good idea if you're not wearing a police uniform! Guess it's about time to talk with city hall about this one before someone ends up shooting the dog—or a neighbor— in an effort to get one good night's sleep. I guess I've had more tolerance than usual for this situation because 
When did I become the custodian of the porch light? I rent and the landlord lives just across the street. How it's supposed to work is that the first person to notice that the bulb's burnt out calls the landlord and he comes over and puts in a new bulb. Sounds simple enough, right? But somehow it's ended up with me changing the danged thing myself, with a bulb I paid for besides the rent, more often than not. Guess I'm the only one who doesn't want to tackle those steps in the dark...
