Getting back into the work groove has tapped my creativity so here are some gems from daily candy.
jet hag - n. The overly dressed, overly perfumed woman in desperate search of an on-flight date.
sluggage - n. Luggage that always seems to come out of baggage claim last.
scary-on - n. A piece of luggage that’s clearly too big to fit into a plane's overhead compartment.
bee break - n. The act of sneaking off to the bathroom in the middle of dinner to scroll through one's BlackBerry.
e-mnesia - n. The condition of having sent or received an e-mail and having no recollection of it whatsoever.
reply-arrhea - n. E-mail incontinence; the inability to stop hitting Reply to All.
bluetoothsome - adj. Used to describe someone so attractive that his/her hotness is not diminished by the wearing of a dorky Bluetooth earpiece.
I had thought my favorite gift under the tree was the vintage typewriter key jewelry but now that I have been back at the computer for two days I say it is my fancy bluetooth mouse.
*I know DHP & SNG are guilty of Bee Breaks.*

That's just what I was going to say....from someone whose theory is 'who needs a ringtone when the vibrate setting is quite enough noise pollution and interruption.'
This is a great theory for the self-employed--"please, DON'T call me." Works great for garnering and retaining clients.
What a *great* list: I am a strong opponent of the reply-arrhea. In fact, its #24 on my list of pet peeves.
rebeckspe
pet peeves: do we really want to go here? the short list.
-The disappearing waitperson when all you want is the Check.
-People who don't personally sign preprinted photo holiday cards.
-Bartenders who can't make a decent Manhattan.
-Neighbors that don't stop their newspaper delivery when they leave town for a week.
-People who clip their nails in public.
-My number one all time pet peeve: Leaf blowers.
oops, i completely forgot: people who do not pick up their dog's poop. that one takes the cake.
-not using the car's turn signal
Drug Commercials that direct viewers to "Ask their doctor"
drug commercials. period.
oh! and mojitos that have mint shredded so small that it comes up the straw.
puh. lease.
For the Pet Peeves list, Vegans who register for a training with a judgemental meal preference of "no animal products". Just say Vegan. Your "no animal products" makes me want to order you a hotdog for lunch.
And sorry, SNG, but chicken & seafood eating "vegetarians" are annoying too. If you eat poultry and fish (and sometimes bacon when you are drunk)- you aren't a veg head.
