Miserable Monday

• Returning from a long war to find your wife besieged by suitors
• Snarling toddlers
• Invalids who look grateful when spoken to
• Writers who don't waste time reading
• The death of haberdashery as an apprenticed craft
  
• The Village of Tiger Widows, full of women whose husbands were killed by tigers
• Comic book conventions
• The marriage prospects of 18th-century British peasants
• Heterosexual Flight Attendants
• Being your husbands secretary
• Chaucer's use of meter
• Weekly breakfast dates with elderly women
• Critics who delight in savagely cruel reviews
• Artistic impulses exhausted by marriage
• Adults who ask the waiter which dish is the yummiest
• The lack of fact-checkers for the Bible
• Vacations within a mile radius of home
• Missing key body parts
