I’ve been annoyed lately but I’m trying very hard not to be passive-aggressive, and I’m very non-confrontational (unless you really piss me off) so I wanted to make a list of 10 things that annoy me. This will be therapeutic! But, I couldn’t just leave it at that because it’s uncharacteristically negative, so I’m also adding 10 things that I love.
Things that annoy me:
1.) People who let their children scream, run around, or otherwise misbehave. I was in a department store the other day and this woman let her daughter go into the dressing rooms and scream at the top of her lungs. I was so agitated that I loudly said, “I can’t even think with all this screaming!”
2.) People who drive too slow, and people who drive too closely. I will happily see an invisible person crossing the road and slam on my breaks, jerk. Didn’t you learn in Driver’s Ed that you must stay three car lengths away from the car in front of you? Or is it two? I do two. As for those who drive too slowly, I’m not going to pass you, speed, and then get in front of your ass because at some point, I will be dangerously too close to someone else. It’s a never ending loop.
3.) Hypocrites. No annoyance list would be complete without this one. It is my ultimate annoyance - especially when it comes to complaining about complainers, or gossiping about gossips, or being passive-aggressive toward someone who was passive-aggressive toward you.
4.) People who stay in relationships “for the children,” or worse: because they think that because a piece of paper certifies that they are married, they must remain married. People who are unhappy in their current relationships but don’t have the balls to leave their bitch or a wife/husband make me want to scream. I get hit on all the time by married men. Like I would ever be interested in someone that sleazy and/or ball-less. I mean - I’ve met otherwise classy men who happen to be married, but it just pisses me off.
5.) People who take their children to the gym to sit and be bored. I feel so sorry for them. Babysitter?
6.) People who let their cats or dogs roam free outside…among other things, but that’s a very long list.
7.) My family members who live only half an hour away from my dad but only go see him when they want something. I kind of hate you, and I hope dad leaves everything to me, you assholes.
8.) The fact that they don’t have any really good water that comes delivered to your door. I only drink vapor distilled water. Hello, Culligan? Hop on the bandwagon, fools. It’s your fault I use so many plastic bottles.
9.) Jealous people.
10.) People who accidentally have children and/or procreate without entirely thinking the situation through. UGH.
Things that make me happy:
1.) Being able to buy things I want, when I want them. Latest gadgets and electronics, etc. Being able to buy the healthiest groceries at the health food store.
2.) Having two healthy cats - finally, as Purrl has been through a lot since I adopted her.
3.) Having somoene who is my best friend and loves me unconditionally, from whom we keep no secrets, to whom I can say anything I want.
4.) The feeling of aching muscles. I love it. I love it when I push myself to the ultimate limit and I feel it the next morning - especially in my core.
5.) Worry-free days where the most I have to do is laundry (which is every day).
6.) The rental car we have, which I’ve decided I want.
7.) Feeling confident enough to tell people how I feel about them. I tell people at the gym that I can see their muscles or that they’ve lost fat; I tell people at the vet clinic that they do a great job. The feeling that exudes from them afterward is like a drug.
8.) Pharmaceuticals.
9.) Smiling at a stranger and seeing that stranger smile back.
10.) Life.
