The time has come for the Crookeds and The Straights: Peoples' Edition. Below are some responses to the pleasure/annoyance question I posed a little while back. To show I'm still actively participating as well, I'll first give mine then we'll get into the list proper.
JPW's List
1. Getting texted an inside joke by a friend
2. Being able to pay bills
3. Tecmo Super Bowl with Bo Jackson
1. Being dressed like crap to run a quick errand and seeing a crush
2. When mixing groups of friends goes awry
Pleasures
1. Finding old mix tapes you made when you were a teenager
2. Dumping without force
3. Lame parties that turn out to be good
4. Coming down subway stairs as your desired train pulls in
5. Using multiple text messages to write one sentence. (It's just so indulgent!)
6. When your teacher curves a test score
7. Finding an old article of clothing in the closet you'd forgotten you love to wear
8. The extra hour of sleep when switching out of daylight savings time
9. Finding a parking meter with time still left on it
10. Bringing an item to the cash register to buy, and finding out it's on sale
Annoyances

6. The first scuff on a new pair of shoes

8. Going down to the subway stop only to see the train leave right in front of you
9. People who rustle the plastic wrappers of their sucky-candies during a show.
