part 2, things that merely piss me off:
- AWKWARD SITUATIONS. I have almost a phobic relationship. I want to punch things when there's ongoing awkwardness and nothing being done about it OR people expecting me to fix it all. Recent example...myself and a couple of friends trying to find a really cool Chinese buffet place...we went into one place, didn't see the buffet yet but they asked what drinks we wanted, I said orange soda because who doesn't like orange soda...but then, when we got to the actual food area it was puny and looked overcooked, compared to how I know those places can be, and I took issue with paying the dinner price for it and wanted to go somewhere else. But noone else was there, and the server woman was sitting nearby, so I had to make these forced whispers to the others to try and be polite, and the woman kept asking if something was wrong, and then the others weren't sure if they agreed, and it was all quiet and went slow and they thought we were going to eat there and we weren't going to, and ugh. Family is good at doing this too.
- People who just plain don't listen to me at all. Example.. I want ONLY CHEESE on the cheeseburger. I do not want pickles. I do not want mustard. I do not want tomatoes. IF I WANTED THOSE THINGS, I WOULD TELL YOU SO. INSTEAD, I WANT CHEESE PLAIN. I KNOW IT MAY BE HARD TO BELIEVE, BUT THERE ARE THOSE OF US OUT THERE WHO DO NOT WANT THE EXACT SAME BURGER AS IN THE PICTURE, AND SINCE IT'S LESS WORK FOR YOU TO PUT IT TOGETHER, WHAT'S THE PROBLEM? AND NO I CAN'T JUST SCRAPE IT OFF. IT'S COVERED IN SAUCE, WHICH SOAKS INTO THE BEEF AND BUNS. UGH.
- Non-punctual/unattentive people. When you say you're going to do something, DO IT, if not, be genuine about why not, and don't change it at the last minute if so. Continually unreliable people = fail.
- The 'you think too much'/'you use big words' crowd.
- Strange media generalizations....when people think every soda is 'a coke', every video game is 'nintendo', all metal is 'screaming death/satanic metal', etc, and don't seem to care otherwise. I used to think only sheltered housewives did this, but just as many people my own age do too.
- Extremely white or black 'Christianity'. As in, all the ritualistic churchy faggotry and Christian-speak (yes it is a language) which is either really whitebread or really black and charismatic (Pentacostal for the uninformed), who have basically made up their own religion at this point. And white and black people do not need their own churches, you are all stupid, grow up, get along.
- Emo. Pop-punk. Hardcore. This is the worst music outside of rap.
- Fingernail polish that isn't clear.
- Sandals, your feet are huge and long and gross, and they aren't real shoes, and stop doing things like wearing huge jackets and jeans but with sandals.
- Extremely skinny or obese women. There is a general way of looking which is great, it's called 10-12. 8 or 14 is fine too, I know some people are just naturally that way.
- ICP fans..the ultimate cultural fail.
