Things That Annoy Me, But Shouldn't

WTF does she do in bed with those! Actually I don't want to know

My bloke has to shift my piles of writing books or art pads or my extra pillows before he can get in. And we still both end up trying to sit on the dog when we climb into bed.

 

I can't help but wonder what use a dog would have with a stapler.

 

Them Border Collates are smart, herd their sheets then staple their Pet insurance docs, Pedigree Papers..etc.

 

Pharmaceutical television ads that clearly state: 'actor portrayal' before the actor starts blathering about 'her' struggle with depression, psoriasis or whatever. What kind of sap does this bullshit work on?

 

Well, um...I use them all the time as a writer. ;-)

<<<--------- That is me over there, ya know...

ETA: Things that annoy me but shouldn't: the sound of circular saws and metal grinders. There's a construction site behind my place, and it's driving me bats because I need the windows open. (Or maybe it should annoy me.)

 

So you haven't seen what next door cat looks nowadays? (And where it is hangin'.)

That is what happens if you read Blake Snyder to a dog with twisted sense of humour.

 

He's the bed clearer. 65lb kelpy/chocolate lab mix 'bout 20in tall. Hops in the bed next to little Wifey, pushes with them big labby paws til she falls outta bed. Tried it with me and I put a foot on his butt and shoved his carcass outta bed. He now sleeps at the foot of my side, with his back at my feet, to keep them warm. Good boy!

 

You've not seen the kiddy inviting videos? You've got to see the kiddy ones

This cracked me up, having read your entire comment high fives you

 

When I call Alexa an idiot, my wife said I should use mentally challenged.

 

When I wake up in the middle of the night. I know some authors would consider this a godsend as this means they can write unabated, but I rather like having a decent night's sleep.

 

I hate it, but if I don’t get up and jot it down, I will lay there trying to complete a scenario in my head.
If not, I will forget it ever happened.

 

Screaming tennis players. I won't watch even with the sound off.

ETA ...A grunt is okay, but no silly scream.

 

Pound cake. Too dense.

 

Zo, through tennis perfection metod-scheme of tennis technologies ve hast won every tennis match zince 2003 and only us three boys get all the monies, hurrah, hurrah, harrah, we trio win tennis until we are sixty year old, moneys money, death to tennis.

...and people complain about a woman moaning in pleasure when she wacks a ball. Priorities, please.

 

'Gender reveal' events. There are only two possibilities, boy or girl, and you're going to get what you get, and who really cares anyway?

 

I generally have one of these on or around the third date mark, and trust me, there are some people that have very strong opinions on this.

 

Hooray! It's a Human!

 

Eh. Gender, schmender, it's all good.

 

I have a bad habit of finding exploits in games and using them until the game's absolutely broken. Most recently I've been re-playing Skyrim (which is not a hard game to exploit btw) and by level 20 I had crafted gear that allowed me to one shot everything, disappear from sight by ducking slightly, carry millions of pounds of loot, and meant I couldn't be damaged in any way. It annoys me because the games literally no fun anymore, but it really shouldn't because I could theoretically stop at any time... I just don't want to.
