The Most Annoying Things About Being a Muppet Fan

Kyle Mahoney - Awhile back, I was chatting with the Mindset's own Ryan Dosier about obnoxious things that happen to us as Muppet fans. I decided that it should be put into an article so all Muppet fans could revel in the annoyance. I even asked other Muppet fans for their submissions. If you would like to submit more annoying things for a future article, email us at muppetmindset@gmail.com. Anyway... here it is!
