#8. People Who Talk When Your Fave Song Is On


You ever been with someone sitting around listening to the stereo or riding in the car and this great song comes on that you havent heard in forever? Generally, I will gleefully snatch the volume knob and turn it up, all the while squealing "OH! I LOVE THIS SONG!". It is really quite a sight. You would think that they were announcing the winner of the multi state lottery winner and I was holding the winning ticket. Well, my boyfriend is one of those people that feels that must be his cue to talk. He will start talking over the music about the first time he heard the song, or how the band should really consider getting back together or something. All I want to do is listen to the freaking song. It is like he has this little voice in his subconscious that says "hey, dude, pssst....now, now. Tell her everything you know about the song."
It is maddening.

#5. Unoriginal People


Now, don't get me wrong. I like to be an inspiration or muse for other people, but sometimes people just go to far. Like this girl at work, if I take a step out and put together some random clothing articles to make an outfit, she will soon follow suit. If I part my hair on the side, then clip it with a barrette, welp, the next day her hair will hold the same coif. She absolutely drives me nuts. I have worked with her for two years now and it gets no better.




I have a strange little habit of finding a song for every single occasion. Example: if I am stapling a group of papers together and I miss the spot I want it, I might break out in "I Missed Again" by Phil Collins, or if I am walking across the room and lose a shoe, I may croon to the nursery rhyme "Little Betty Blue" and talk about her holiday shoe. So, when this girl started doing that as well I knew that she was a mimic. A poser. A fraud. A copycat.




I just want to scream, "Look, dammit, be you!"

#2. Cold Toilet Seats (little annoyances)


You will never beleieve what I just found in the internet.(MAN! Is the internet not just the most useful thing ever??) My #2. Thing That Drives Me Crazy is solved..... look at this link>>http://www.knovelty.com/warmseat.htm.


No more cold toilet seats. I wish it were that easy. Cold Toilet Seats is an analogy, if you had not figured that out. It is really like inevitable things that you have to put up with in daily life that are just so dang annoying. Like people who can't make up their mind at the drive through or doors that are not marked push/pull or the way a liquid dishwashing detergent bottle can't be made in a way that will allow you to dispense the entire bottle or.... cold toilet seats. (which now seems to be a solved dilemma)


Maybe I just need to be patient... one toilet seat at a time. Or maybe I need to learn to "hover".

Who?

There are so many cool personality tests in the internet. I like this one because it actually is not a million questions long.
