So it is Tuesday and already a couple of these things have happened to me. However I decided instead of flipping out on people or getting stressed that instead I would write it down and share it. I don't know about you but it usually isn't the big things that push my buttons, it is more the little seemingly insignificant things that get under my skin. Do these things ever happen to you? If so, how do you manage them?
1) When you push the elevator button and it is lit,
then someone who just saw you push the button comes immediately behind you and
pushes it again, like your push didn’t count – why lady why, was my push not
good enough for you?
2) When you are in the bathroom stall and you hear
another person leaving but you don’t hear any water running or paper-towels
being dispensed, then they open the door to leave – Just gross, wash your damn
hands, I don’t want to be in the vicinity of your waste matter particles, CLEAN
IT UP!!
3) When you are telling someone a story (or
anything) and they keep interrupting you trying to “guess” what you are about
to say next – just friggin’ listen and let me finish the dang story.
4) That horn noise that goes off constantly in
reggae and hip-hop mixes – okay I like it once but don’t keep rewinding “selecta,”
just learn to play the horn noise sparingly PLEASE! Less is more!
5) Objects that require batteries but in sizes
other than double AA, triple AA, D or C, like those stupid round batteries that
go in a watch that you can’t find anywhere or those weird rectangle ones with
the round things on top, yeah those.
6) Group text messages with people I don’t know, it’s
like a bonanza – my phone going off with numbers I don’t recognize so much so
that the battery is half dead by the time the conversation is done. Just want to throw my phone when this
happens.
7) Putting a coat on
over a long sleeve shirt and having the shirt’s sleeve roll up to your elbow or
beyond. I have tried a variety of
tactics to combat this and here are my top three: A) Hold onto the sleeve in your hand then put
on said coat (this usually does the trick but some sleeves can be tight so not
as easy to get a grasp on), B) Take the coat off, then put it back on while
carefully sliding your arm straight down so there is no contact between the
shirt and the coat (doesn’t always work for me, I almost always hit the side),
or C) Just roll out with disproportionately large biceps and don’t worry about
it (This usually only happens to me because I didn’t leave myself enough time to
employ options A or B.) L
8) Any sentence that
includes the words cray, bae, fleek, “or nah”, swag, yolo, seriously, really,
omg.
9) My phone
auto-correcting, it always gets it wrong like why does “love you” become “louie”
or “lovely”.
10) That whenever I need some “quality time” in
the bathroom at home, that’s when the kids want to bust in the door and talk
and hang around and won’t leave no matter what I try to bribe them with. Please can Mommy finish first, then we can
read, eat, play, go outside, do anything … why do you want to be with me right
now and why do you want to wait for me in here?
Please feel free to add things you hate in the comments section for future additions of "10 Things I Hate" and let me know if you hate some of (or all) of these things as well.
