I decided to post this list of picky little things that annoy me about this
show. I'd like to know if anyone else has noticed these things or am I just
imagining them??

1) Does anyone else notice how TomCat pauses mid sentence sometimes. Example:
 
   "The man who ........ raped Margo tested positive for the HIV virus".

   Does he do this for effect, to make it seem more dramatic or is he perhaps
   out of breath already and needs to take a deep breath in order to finish
   the sentence??

2) Does anyone else cringe as I do whenever H2D acts all sincere and 
   repentant like he did during those scenes with Kim when she found out he
   was JennyDarryl's father. "You've gotta believe I love your daughter and
   would do anything to make her happy again". I don't think Kim was buying
   it either. That's the most I've enjoyed Kim in a scene in a long time.

3) Someone posted this a while ago, but I just wanted to reiterate that I
   also get annoyed at the way Sighva sighs all the time.

4) A man to man chat between H2D and Anus is enough to send me screaming from
   the room. I have started to like Anus again, however, he has this blind
   spot when it comes to H2D, and he needs to get a clue fast.

5) Is there anyone out there in the Ward that can actually sit through scenes
   with BrainlessHolden with that blank look on his face that says "Who am I"
   and not feel the incredible urge to fast forward?? I can't remember the
   last time I actually sat through one of those scenes. They just don't seem
   to go anywhere.

6) Why doesn't Rosehand just tell Hutch and the Snyders who she is. Doesn't
   she know by now that she can trust them?? And why is she letting 
   TeenyWeenie blackmail her into spending time with him?

7) Why hasn't Craig called Margo at all during her ordeal. You would think
   that they would at least have a scene with Margo talking on the phone to
   Craig and telling him she's glad he cares and thanks for calling.

8) Why does everyone in Yuckdale run away whenever they have a problem??
   Brief history:
     a) Margo - when she found out she was pregnant with Hal's baby (Adam)
     b) Babs - After Hal found out she knew about Adam and didn't tell him
     c) JoolSlut - after getting pregnant with Holden's child while married
                   to K-lip.
     d) Paul - After Easily dumped him for Gavin, Babs came between him and
               Easily, and Tease used him.
     e) Merciless - after all her lies blew up in her face and she found out
                    she actually was pregnant with Dinc Laughables child.
     f) Rosehand - only there was a twist to this one. Instead of running
                   away from Yuckdale, she ran to Yuckdale.
     g) Tease - after her fake pregnancy plan blew up in her face.
  
   My guess is that is how Frantic will leave the show. She'll run away.

9) Why are the walls so paper thin in Yuckdale??? It's amazing how many 
   secrets are overheard, clear and loud as can be through locked doors.

10) Why, whenever people make phone calls that they don't want to be 
    overheard, do they face away from the doorway so that they can't see
    when the person they don't want to hear the conversation comes back
    into the room??

11) Why do people always hang up the phone without saying goodbye??

Well that's enough picky things for now. Feel free to comment or add to the
list. It's amazing how much better you feel when you let it all out.
