10 Things I'll make illegal if you vote me President:


1. Leaving the restroom without proper hand washing.
2. Talking on the cell phone while in said restroom.
3. Gigantic SUVs.
4. Allowing your dog to bark all night.
5. Open mouthed chewing.
6. Smoking around me (extended to my friends and campaign supporters). Anywhere. Ever.
7. Spam e-mail.
8. Rip off movie theatre prices.
9. The 80s fashions that have reemerged in recent years.
10. People talking/texting while driving with no regard to traffic.

What would you make illegal?

@jen: I am with you on them all. Don't forget "you betcha" and all the hockey references. :)

Unnecessary grunting or screaming by tennis players when they serve. I've never been able to figure that one out.

@fbd: That is a great one! I totally know what you mean. It's very disconcerting when they start with the grunts/screams.

yes, and there there's "joe six pack" and "soccer moms" too.

my friends and i laughed about the debate - if we really had played a drinking game to her answers, we'd surely would have been under the table…

- Rude customers
- Rude customer service people
- Letting people who stomp like elephants live on the second floor
- Automated customer service that doesn't have an immediate "0" for a live person
- Phone customer service that doesn't provide you with a rep that speaks in your language (if I bought a product in the US, I want English speaking customer service please)
