Things That Annoy Me, But Shouldn't

Drivers whose speed fluctuates between 84 and 92 km/hr and when you finally manage to pass them and drive at the speed limit of 100, tailgate you for the rest of the way.

 

Oh, I always press the button myself even if there's someone already there. Because they definitely are too stupid to have realised and done it themselves. Hypocrite? Maybe. Bothered? No.

I also hate hypocrisy. So my own hypocrisy in this matter makes me a meta-hypocrite. And I'm also fine with that, which probably further compounds it. But with every iteration, the extent to which I care diminishes further

 

Solid flippin' gold right here.....

 

Dry drunks.
You haven't had a beer and the remote control is failing miserably to be placed back on the coffee table at exactly twenty-three degrees South-Southwest, and my eyelashes are batting to loudly.

Like, last week you couldn't even eat mashed potatoes unsupervised.

Thats something to be pissed off about.

 

The Royal fucking wedding. Thought I’d managed to avoid it, but spent the day at my sister’s for tea so had to endure 40 minutes of the highlights. What a crock of shit and fuss over nothing. The narrator was making me sick with his over-sentimentality, his tongue so far up the Royal arse’ole it was a wonder he could say anything. Just a shame it didn’t piss it down.

 

Made your fillings hurt did he?

 

Yes, and my teeth itch.

 

Yeesh...

 

Dubs on non-kids shows/movies.

So I was nosing around "The Rain" on Netflix and learned that they had dubbed it in English.

I didn't even know they dubbed things to English! I thought it was a French and German thing, but I'm quite disappointed in all English speaking countries right now. I thought you were better and you should feel ashamed. Subs exists for a reason, people! If you can't read them, maybe Scandinavian shows just not for you?

Worst part is that they still wanted the "Danish feeling" so they had people dubbing it with a Danish accent.

You can - luckily - change over to the original language, but it's still really stupid to me.

 

Ever been zoning out, happily, when someone you know and probably cares for you asks, "Hey, are you alright?"

You, zoning out, just say "Yeah" and here comes the "ARE YOU SURE!? YOU'RE SO SILENT JUST SITTING THERE BY YOURSELF" speech.

I get the good intent, but really, if I had a problem then I'd solve it. Like, throwing out people who can't see that I'm chilling out.

 

This is so true.

But also people who do not use blinkers/indicators/turning lights when driving... especially when it involved those damned invention from hell, and my arch-nemesis: *queue the deep dramatical voice* roundabouts

 

Rest assured, human extinction will occur after you are dead.

 

People who get complimented on how hott they are, and bitch about being ugly.
WTF is your damage?

 

Yeah, totally. what is with people who can't handle compliments.

Speaking of which, every day I wake up, I see some goofy ass, mother fucker staring back at me in the mirror. Reminds me of the day I was born and my father said:

 

IDK...

 

I mean, apparently I'm the hottest person in the world (according to a survey only Lost was allowed to take) - but as I mentioned, I'm a bit of an ugly duckling. I have no confidence what so ever and I've always been the ugly friend who no one pays attention to. So getting compliments as an adult is really hard for me. I struggle to just accept the compliment and move on. I will try to joke it off, tell them they're wrong/stupid/"Is England populated by ugly girls?" or I'll just feel really bad.

Part of that is confidence issues. Part of it is Jante...

Anyway - if you're entirely convinced you're ugly you won't change your mind because some random guys happens to like your look. Getting compliments out of the blue is really distressing and for people like me it's more likely to bring angst than happiness.

And I don't know what poor little girl I just defended, but just felt like giving my view on it. Sorry. Not sorry. Maybe a bit sorry...

 

A form of imposter syndrome perhaps?

 

People who have taps in their bathroom that you can only operate using your hands (as opposed to one you can operate with your elbow).

Good tap:


Bad tap:


Think about it. You have a shit and wipe your butt clean, and then have shit on your hands. So you turn the tap on with your hand, and put shit on the tap. Then you wash your hands and get them clean. Then you touch the shitty tap with your hand to turn it off, and get shit on your hands again.

Note that it's not the tap that annoys me, but the person. Failing to provide a tap which I can operate with my elbow is saying to me, "I'm ok with you having shit on your hands." Well I'm not ok with that, so replace your fucking tap.

 

Ewww.. that is why I use the back of my hand , but I gotcha on this one.... yeah, it's also why I use paper towels to turn off public faucets on my way out of the bathroom.

 

The problem is, other people probably don't use the backs of their hands, which means you get their shit on the backs of your hands. And yeah, I totally use the paper towels to turn off the taps in public toilets. And if there aren't any paper towels and the taps are hand operated, then I just leave them running. Wasteful? Maybe. Preferable to having the shit of countless members of the public on my hands? Definitely.

 

I totally get that and do it myself, but In the bathroom at work, leaving them on isn't an option so if there are no towels I use toilet seat covers.

 

Nah, you're just really gorgeous
