identify 100 things that annoy me (read all 2 entries…)
Untitled 12 months ago

1. My neck hurting after I slept on it wrong.
2. Feeling like my voice isn’t being heard/not being acknowledged.
3. Billy Maze of Orange Glo/Oxy Clean commercials.
4. Otherwise enlightened people making anti-gay/hateful comments.
5. Hangovers.
6. Insomnia.
7. People in the grocery store who walk really slowly in front of me.
8. Religious fanatics of any type.
9. People who take pot shots to make their point.
10. Not being taken seriously because I’m only twenty-something and cannot possibly understand the real issues just because I happen to disagree.
11. People telling me what my priorities should be.
12. “Wife Swap” ~ I actually watch this show all the time, despite the fact that it frustrates me so much. I hate the reocurring theme of families stuck on their sons becoming “real men”. What is a “real man”? First of all, I don’t see why you should have to strive to be such a thing; you should just be yourself. But what should make you a real good person should be measured by your heart and character, not the sports you play, what you look like, or how many people you’ve slept with. These people seem to think masculinity = violence, treating women like shit, and being emotionally crippled, insensitive jerks. Epic fail, Wife Swap.
13. The belief that masculinity is supposed to directly subvert femininity and is supposed to be by nature objectifying and dominant.
14. People who refuse to say “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas”. What’s the big deal? It seems like the same people who think that their marriages are threatened if some other people are allowed to get married also think that their holiday is threatened if some other people’s holidays are acknowledged.
15. All the Christmas shit before I’ve even celebrated Thanksgiving. Please, Christmas, retreat back to December and let Thanksgiving have its month back! God forbid it can’t be turned into a stupid fucking marketing vehicle like every other holiday, and just be about families getting together and enjoying a nice dinner.
16. Drunk dialers.
17. Women who use PMS to excuse shitty behavior, and people who say “boys will be boys” to excuse men’s shitty behavior.
18. PMS accusations as attempts to undermine my rationality and right to make a claim… as if my feelings are any less valid when I’m on my period. I have a right to be pissed off and my uterus has nothing to do with it.
19. People who won’t consider adopting shelter dogs because they’re under the misconception that they’re all somehow damaged.. They’re just victims of crappy situations and owners who didn’t want to commit to their care.
20. PETA, and all their ridiculous stunts and scare tactics.
21. People who take their bad days out on others.
22. Hypocrites.
23. Conspiracy theorists.
24. Brody Jenner, and how so many women are willing to overlook his self-entitled douchebaggery because “he’s hot”.
25. When my music skips.
26. Bad internet connection.
27. Citronella. It reminds me of mosquitos.
28. When people let their kids run amok in public at the expense of others.
29. Smiling politely at my neighbor and getting a scowl in response.
30. Greed.
31. Cat callers. It’s not a compliment. It’s creepy and rude. I’m just trying to walk my dog, not dancing at a bar. Please leave me alone.
32. People who don’t dress up for theme parties. Why bother going?
33. Anxiety.
34. Mental health stigmatism.
35. The sounds my deaf cat makes, since she can’t hear herself.
36. Blisters.
37. People who try to make me feel stupid for not knowing much about something they’re passionate about, or because I have no interest in it.
38. Oppressive stereotypes of any kind.
39. Feeling completely drained of any creative juices.
40. Loud potato chip chewers.
41. Not being able to find a song I really love.
42. Computer viruses.
43. Scratchy throats.
44. Sun on my face when I’m sleeping in the morning.
45. Having to board the dogs for the holidays ~ it requires vaccinations and I just think it’s unnecessary and excessive to pump my dogs full of poison every year.
46. Insults disguised as compliments.
47. People who need enemies to feel important.
48. People who let their cats roam free all over the neighborhood and do whatever they want. I wouldn’t let my dogs do that and I wish I got the same respect back.
49. Gullibility and those who profit from it.
50. Debbie Downers.

... That’s all I can think of for now. I’ll finish the other half some other time. =)
