Things That Annoy Me, But Shouldn't

Men who address, and refer to, their wives as 'mother', or worse, 'mommy'. Freud much?

 

How do you feel about women who refer to their partner as Daddy ?

 

Fine, as long as she's from Texas, has huge boobs hair, and Daddy is rich.

 

Oh for a southern belle with significant *ahem* assets. Red heads for preference

 

Furthermore,

For example, Kiefer Sutherland in Designated Survivor is always Jack Bauer. President Jack Bauer. And he will be forevermore. Such is his character externalised in my mind, I kept expecting him to yell "DAMMIT!" when things went wrong. I even felt a bit dissatisfied every time he didn't go off on a rampage, which I know sounds pretty crazy, but it's difficult to detach what is so ingrained in my mind!

I recently heard this happened to Mark Hamill. After Star Wars, producers outside the sci-fi genre kept saying to him "No, you can't play that role, you're Luke Skywalker. The audience will never believe it."

I feel bad now for perpetuating this mentality...

 

My mother in law is a scary driver. She tends to crawl to the freeway at 60 km/h (whatever that is in miles) when the limit is either 100 km/h or 120km/h.

Also, she doesn’t like turning her head to check the blind spot that the side mirror doesn’t show.

Or indicators.

And she loves to brake abruptly instead of observing the traffic and braking in advance.

The sad thing is, she loves to borrow my car and I haven’t the heart to refuse, so if she causes an accident, it’ll be my fault.

 

Ah, so it was your mom I nearly rear-ended on the freeway the other night while driving home from work.

Thankfully I was able to maneuver out of the way in time

 

Programming, It annoys the hell outta me because getting it to work is like hearding Cats (Or toddlers, take your pick)

it shouldnt annoy me because, well, thats the career i've decided to pursue

 

Aw man, I've always loved programming! Granted, I don't do it as a career, so maybe that's a lot more stressful then just doing it for fun.

 

i'm doing a degree in it currently (Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence) and i've sworn more since October 1st than i ever did before that time....

 

Ahh, I see. I can totally understand why that would be frustrating, it can be frustrating enough just doing it for fun!

 

I call my partner “Daddy.”

He always gives me this look like he can’t tell if I’m joking or not.

I am 90% joking.

(10% serious.)

 

I would like to subscribe to your mailing list.

 

I'll let you know when I have a mailing list.

I call him "sir" and "boss" all the time. I dunno what his problem with "daddy" suddenly is.

I'm easing him into it.

 

Also doesn't hurt to have your doc check your vitamin D level. I had to have routine blood work and when the doc said I was deficient in vitamin D it explained a lot.

 

There are exceptions. I would have never believed David Duchovny could have been anything other than Fox Mulder (X-files), but when I saw his role in Californication, I believed it.

 

When someone says "actually" all the time.

Or "I thought to myself" - as opposed to thinking to someone else?

 

That reminds - and annoys me. They took lot and LOTS of blood tests last summer and I still haven't heard back from them! I mean - I guess that means it's nothing, but when both me and my psychologist have been asking them, at least they could send me a note saying "it was fine". They've done that before!

I'm sure I don't get enough D (that's just partly a dick joke) and eat extras from time to time (not a dick joke in the slightest). I blame living in Sweden! Why on earth would anyone want to live in Sweden?

 

Not sure why I care (or why I'm there), but the 'walls of text' war going on in the Trump thread in the Debate Room makes my eyes go all funny.

 

Well, the flag is a big plus.

 

Sorry, not Switzerland

We have a cross though... a horrible colored cross. Yellow and blue doesn't really go together!

 

Why would you say that?

 

Clever...

 

Becausue I think it's ugly?

Problem with being an Fallout fan... my bag is blue and yellow. It's not pretty, but my inner fan girl just had to have it (it was also really cheap...)

Not pretty, is it?

 

I like it! I think it goes well together.
