Things That Annoy Me. (I'm being a negative Nancy today, Inklings.)
1. People clicking, biting, or cleaning their fingernails. Once, in an airplane, the woman next to me was digging one fingernail into the other, making a scratching-clicking noise. I slapped her hand and said "STOP!" without even realizing that I had no clue who she was.
2. Cold coffee. Note that I did not say "iced" coffee, because that is the only coffee I enjoy. But when you just let your hot coffee sit there? It insults the expresso.
3. Girls' bra straps sticking out of their tanktops. If you don't know, tanktops are what you wear OVER YOUR BRA SO NO ONE SEES YOUR STUPID BRA. Geez.
4. Sweaty men staring at me when I do the weird leg exercises at the YMCA. Get a life, creeper. Better yet, get to work, because your sweating pot belly is the only thing *I'M* staring at.
5. The sun. I like daytime. Just not shining in my eyes.
6. When someone does not make their affection known. Are we in love? Are we in like-like? Do I remind you of your mother? Help me out, here.
7. Someone Who Keeps Talking. If my head is towards the wall or I just replied "Yeah.", chances are, you are a boring person. And if you keep talking, you are transformed into a boring idiot.
8. Sesame seeds. Bleh bleh bleh.
9. Cheerful people. It actually depends on the person. If you're cheerful but sympathetic, cool. If you're cheerful even after a kitten gets massacred at an old folks' home? You're sick.
10. Someone tells you "I had a dream about you" and they go on and you realize they're making this up as they go along. Apparently, some men find this as flirtatious.
11. The obsession with black nail polish. Cool, it's black. Now, let's move on.
12. Math.
13. The word "Participle" and the word "awesome". One is just plain dirty sounding and the other is overused.
14. One-word Texters. How you people manage to date people, or even manage to have people in your address book amazes me. Not in a good way. Seriously, why do you even own a phone? Do you call people? No, you don't. To call someone, you'd have to be slightly conversationally adept, and by clear example, you're not.
15. Reality TV. Last time I checked, getting drunk at a party and having sex with strangers without getting herpes was not reality. And no, I did not really check.
16. THE PHRASE "OKAY THEN." If you have a problem, okay, cool, you can say that. But if you use it in the sense of "Okay then..." chances are I'm a freak to you. Which, you can just say "You're weird." It's a lot less condescending and a lot more clear.
17. Old lady hugs.
18. Hot Soup Falling All Over My Legs. Welcome to what just happened.
19. People Getting Mad at You for Staring Into Space When No One is Talking. What, do you want me to stare at your pimples and begin to count them out loud? No? Then shut up.
#17- I was almost guilty:)
ReplyDeleteI have been tempted to hug you on many occasions. Whew! I'm so glad I didn't because now we're still friends, um...I think :)
You are not an old lady! Plus, you do not smell bad! Or shake constantly and whisper in my ears! You're good! :D
