What do you assign to Mordor?

Getting ill in the middle of everything-happens -season.

Coming back from a trip to see that loads of interesting things have happened in a WW-game but that you have also been lynched (and due to something that could've been explained easily, had you been around).

All those idiots who refuse to read LotR because the think its too long

A flat tire and unbelievably stubborn lug nuts. But to the Shire with my neighbor who dropped everything to come help out.

Or the folks who have seen the movies and are afraid the book will ruin their experience.

Myself .. I realised I had developed one of my darling late mother's more irritating habits when on receiving Christmas cards in unfamiliar hand I examined the exteriors closely for clues (postmark etc), speculated to myself as to who it might be for a while before doing the obvious thing and just opening it.... why couldn't I have inherited her skills at reverse parking?

That's what I usually do upon receiving mail. Wonder who might have sent it. In fact, I do it every time I get a rep point. I look at the thread, and then try to decide who could have written what about it in the comments before I actually read it.

On this note, I assign organisations (usually charities or communities of some sort) that send you random cards and stickers for membership. I get real mail every once in a half a year, so I'm always excited if I get anything, and usually that's just yet another card saying nothing in particular from some long-forgotten community camp thingy.

Also, I assign just barely umbrella-worthy rain and wind that nearly breaks the said umbrella. And the whole fact of rain in mid-December. There's a reasons all Christmas songs have the word "snow" in them!

Picking a book to read because it sounds like something you'd like, and approving very much of it until about half-way, just to realize that the summary hasn't told you the main thing that you won't like about it at all.

The end of the world. It was very disappointing.

... I ... I don't even. No.

Writing a presentation that is twice longer than it is supposed to be. But it's all important!

(By the way, if you ever have to analyse a book and you're given a choice, do A Student of Weather by Elizabeth Hay. There's so much to analyse I can't fit it into my time frame )

Also, I assign having burns in the most random places.
