Cops who pull over bike riders in
Provo: I was riding my bike
home from work and had not traveled more then 5 minutes on nothing more
than sidewalks and crosswalks when a cop car turned his lights on and
waved
me to a stop. He said, “I was just checking on you because we
received a call that you were weaving in and out of traffic and I
just wanted to make sure you are okay.” I explained to him I had
only been riding on sidewalks and told him I thought he had the wrong
guy. Then he gave me a lecture anyway about riding safely. Cops
that don't verify bike riders before they pull them over must go.
Also, disgruntled Provo drivers who hate Provo traffic and make calls
like that on bike riders must go.

Things that must go: Minion pins on Pinterest
Minion pins on Pinterest: Anyone on Facebook or Instagram that pins and shares Minion pins must go. (See attachment) Every one of them shows a picture of a minion followed by some witty or clever saying like, “I know the voices in my head aren't real....but sometimes their ideas are just absolutely awesome!” Pierre Coffin, the director of the Despicable Me movies who also makes the voice of all the minions in the movies, has stated that there is no official Minion language like the Klingon language is on Star Trek. It is all just jibber-jabber. So, implying that minions speak in sonnets or limericks is incredibly stupid. It was not funny the first shared pin I viewed nor do the hundreds more I am viewing make it any more funny. These stupid shared Minion pins on Pinterest must go.

Things that must go: registering our rewards cards
Registering our rewards cards must go: This goes for all franchises that utilize rewards cards that track how much you spend and then reward you with a free sandwich etc... You do not need to know my personal information to allow me to keep using your rewards system. That is none of your business. After a decade of dining at Subway and using a rewards card the franchise gave me 30 days to register. I just threw my card away. Their bread is not fresh, it is premade, frozen, and then warmed in an oven and they are stifling their 5 dollar foot long deal… Actually, not only can we do without registering rewards cards, but Subway in general must go too.

Things that must go: panhandlers who assault people in Orem
I frequently post a list of my "Things
That Must Go." For those of you who don't know, this is a weekly segment
that Kerry, Bill and Gina do on The Radio From Hell show on X96 every Wednesday
morning. After paying close attention to this segment I have noticed that 97%
of what I write never makes it on air. Whether it infringes on their sponsors
or they just plain don’t like my list I am not too sure. I decided to do a
topic on my blog called Rejected from X96’s Hell: what never made it on air.
Enjoy!
Panhandlers who assault people in Orem: I was exiting a McDonalds next to Walmart. About 600 feet away is the favored corner where panhandlers shake cardboard signs. One panhandler made eye contact with me. I thought nothing of it and gave no indication that I had anything for him. After entering my car and turning on the ignition I received a pounding knock on the roof of my car. To my surprise this panhandler had left his favored corner and walked the 600-foot distance to my car. I said nothing, just looked at him. He said “I don't want your money!” I was confused but he repeated, “I said I don't want your money!” Still confused I replied, “Okay then. ” He then flipped out using all sorts of obscenities like 'mother hugger' and 'a-hole' and something crude about my mother... He then left the while saluting me with the bird raised high the entire way until he was out of sight. I give him an A for dramatic flair. I am still dazed and confused over the whole ordeal. Did he want a beer? Regardless, I did not approach him nor give any signal from far away indicating that I had something for him. It makes me not want to consider giving panhandlers anything ever. Panhandlers like that must go!
