I’m feeling irritable
Ever have on of those days? Yes I mean one of those days. Ones that you wish would just hurry up and end but seem to drag on forever. The clock even ticks along at a slower pace than normal as if to mock you and remind you what a crappy day it is. You’d throw random objects at it but the thought of accidentally breaking something important just irritates you even more. Instead you just sit and sulk with your bottom lip nearly wrapped over the top of your head. You can feel your chest thumping as your blood literally boils with an each and every irritating moment, one after another. Ever have one of those days?
In celebration of my crappy day I thought I’d make a list of all the things that annoy me. Enjoy!
- Loud, thumpy neighbors who walk like elephants. Do these people ever stop moving?
- Extremely loud car stereos, especially ones blaring hip hop.
- Screaming unsupervised children. It’s not so much the children that bother me, it’s the bad parents.
- Reality TV.
- Stubbing my toe.
- Those tiny speck sized flies that won’t leave my monitor alone.
- Humidity.
- Spammers who think leaving multiple comments is somehow going to get them through my spam protection. Welcome to my banned IP list.
- Rosie O’Donnell
- People who show up uninvited preventing me from enjoying my ice cream. I hate having to be courteous and not eat in front of you.
- Extremely sunny days. Where’s the rain? :(
- Movies with terrible dialogue. *cough Ghost Rider cough*
- The majority of A-list bloggers.
- Just about anything on Mtv.
- That lady who hosts “Who wants to be a millionaire?” I miss Regis.
Let’s send all those things you hate to an island – an island inhabited by bears! Sorry to hear you are having such a lousy day. If someone shows up at your house, just eat your ice cream in front of them and make them jealous of your frozen dessert.
That’s funny. I hate stubbing my toe too. Everytime I do, it breaks.
Buck up there, little buck-a-roo! Turn that frown upside-down! Tell Mr. Gwumpy Pants to take a hike and let Mr. Sunshine in.
Okay, that’s all I could think of. :P
Sorry to hear about the day, buddy. If it’s any consolation, I agree with just about everything on your list. Not that I disagree with some of them, just that we share most of the same ones. :)
@Danielle: I like the bears idea. I’d like it even better if the island were mowed over by a giant typhoon as well :)
@Jenny: Been there done that…a lot :/
@Mark: Mr. Gwumpy Pants? That sounds like one for Danielle’s Mr. Something Pants site :lol:
I can give you some good advice on how to get rid of those teeny little flies.
Take a small bowl and coat the bottom with about 1/4″ of Dawn dishwashing liquid. Then pour a couple of teaspoons of vinegar over that. Those little tiny flies are so attracted to the smell of vinegar that they land in the bowl and get stuck due to the dishwashing liquid.
For a greater effect, you can take your finger and smear some of the mixture all around the inside of the bowl, even the rim.
My wife does this all of the time, and by the end of the day she usually catches 25-50 of those little bastards.
If someone showed up in the middle of ice cream I would probably lose it too, neighbors, well, I write short stories about them and sell them for revenge, you know how I feel about bad movies, and I miss Regis too! You forgot door to door salesman. I had one the other day that “demanded” I go get my bills right now so he could see them and save me money. When he wouldn’t take no for an answer I actually used the “F” word, which I only save for those very special people who won’t get off my front porch. :) I like Danielle’s idea, that could work!
I think I had one of those days yesterday. And I feel ya on some of the stuff on your list, MTV (or channel 72 as I call it as there is no more music on MTV), stubbing the toe, reality tv, ghost rider (just because blackheart was NO Blackheart)…
But no hip hop!? I’ll bet what you heard wasn’t hip hop but the pop rap that is destroying the genre and #1 on channel 72. I love all kinds of music, and I gotta tell ya, when I’m having a day and Hypnotize comes on – Oh, that’s my jam. (#):)
@Bucky: That’s a pretty creative solution. I might just give it a try ;P
@Christy: I can’t picture you saying the F word..hehe ;D
@Bush: No, no hip hop of any kind for me please ;)
“Reality TV.”
FINALLY! Someone who agrees with me. I enjoyed the very first season of Survivor. It was rather unique. Then somehow TV became Reality TV and I can’t find one friggin thing to watch. Then there’s reality shows about faking reality shows. And real shows about creating reality shows.
I hates it all and cannot wait till this fad (yes it is a fad) dies a quick painful death. Bring me back my cheesy, horrible, predictable ’80s sitcoms any day!
I really hate those loud car stereos, but let me tell you something, I prefer a thousand times that those cars play Hip Hop and not the f..ing crap that those cars with megabass are playing here. Believe me, Hip hop it`s not so worse thing like the Reggaeton and the Mexican music in a very loud volume.
@Andrew: I hear ya. About the only time I turn on the tv anymore is for 24 (which sucked last season) or to watch my favorite college teams. Other than that it’s usually off.
@Hernan: I know all about that Mexican music as well. When I lived in Houston for three years I had neighbors below me that blared the stuff ALL DAY LONG. Holy irritating.
You know I completely forgot to mention that my neighbor directly across the street has a Karaoke machine. With all the windows open at 11pm at night on the weekend all you can hear is him singing in Chinese. And it’s loud! Sometimes he and his wife sing duet’s and she is bad…I mean…horribly bad. His favorite is Opera. All I can think of is that they sound like those American Idol reject shows. What would Simon say if he had to live here? Or maybe I’m just jealous because I don’t have my own karaoke machine….hmph.
I live in the quietest neighbourhood… I am the loud one and I don’t even make any noise.
Danielle: Would you like to switch neighborhoods? I could use some peace and tranquility… :)
@Christy: That would drive me terribly insane. I’d probably be hurling tomatoes at their house.
@Danielle: This place is quiet for the most part except for the thumpy neighbors and the stupid car stereos :|
