TAKE A BREAK FROM FINALS!!!!!! And read s'more.
PTTAAF 5*
*PEOPLE AND THINGS THAT ARE ANNOYING &/OR FRUSTRATING
I've been neglecting my blog and that makes not only me sad, but I'm sure you all as well. So let's all have a little pick me up, shall we?
Here's something obvious to add... DOUCHEBAGS. Please notice that these PTTAAF additions do not start with "when people..." Instead these are actual people or "people who do..." so if you fall into these...chances are that I secretly hate you.
Speaking of the word "douchebag," I remember someone in middle school said that they were the reason why the word became popular. And he wasn't just saying popular within our little school, but the whole nation...what an idiot.
21. Parking Attendants/Maids
Why do we pay others to be dickheads? Every one of you who owns a car, by now should have received some kind of parking ticket or violation. If not...it's just a matter of time. I understand that some parking spaces need to be saved for certain people, i.e. the handicapped or employees, but the amount of these "reserved at all times" spaces is too excessive.
How many handicapped spaces does a place really need? It seems that every curb is designated to be a handicapped space. I don't know about you, but I've only seen a few people on campus in wheelchairs and I highly doubt they drive themselves to school.
22. People who are on Facebook on computers that are only for academic use.
I will admit that I sometimes use the the computers that are specifically labeled "For research and academic use" to check my e-mail from time to time, but NEVER when someone is waiting. Unless, of course I didn't notice the person waiting. When I do see an anxious person waiting I gladly relinquish my seat and offer them my computer. But, when sitting at an adjacent desk to the computers and see that the person is now having five simultaneous Facebook conversations...I become livid. Wow, I guess that's not very important at all and you shouldn't of given me dirty looks for using the computer for two seconds to check my e-mail.
What's so great about Facebook anyway? It's a way to keep in touch with friends and blah, blah, blah. What the hell ever. First off, if you can't communicate with "friends" physically or via phone, then you're probably not friends at all, or shouldn't be. People should stop lying and just admit that Facebook's sole purpose is for people to creep on others' pages that we like or in some cases don't like at all. Well, in my case I'm sure many of you get harassing messages from me to comment on my blog posts...so that makes me some what of a hypocrite. The thing is that I could text all of my contacts to comment on my blog, but that is "too much" effort for some to accomplish. Because one would have to read my text, get on the computer, go on the internet, find my site, read the post, and then comment. Where as if I mass message people on facebook, I can just include my blogsite link within the message. And since Facebook requires internet access the person would already be online and could just click the link attached to the message and...voilà. This is a bit of a rationalization...but I know that even this is too much work for some to accomplish.
Well, enough of my Facebook usage schpeel...back to the topic at hand.
I especially hate when I'm the one waiting for a computer and I actually do need to use it for school work...and 90% of the people on the computers are on Facebook, flipping through stupid photo albums of people with their tongues out flashing some kind of stupid hand gesture i.e. "hook 'em horns/rock" sign or the horrid "shocker." I usually start off waiting patiently, but after five minutes or so I do the nonchalant unnecessary cough or sigh to get someone's attention. At this point, most not if all of the people on the computers are aware of my impatience and urgency to use a computer...so what do they all do? Of course, they just turn back to their screens and laugh at themselves with self appreciation of their so called "witty" status. I always manage to bite my tongue in these situations, but I'm sure some day I'm going to go off. I'm a ticking time bomb....just wait in see.
23. Couples who sit next to each other in a booth.
I don't know about you guys, but when I go out with someone I like speaking to them face to face. If you sit right next to a person, you have to do that awkward 90 degree head turn. Let's weigh out our options: (1) sit across a person and be comfortable or (2) sit beside someone with less room and a crick in your neck.... To me the answer seems obvious, but I'm not sure what you guys think.
Not only do these people violate each other's personal space, but they have to constantly be touching each other. Either the girl's legs are in the guy's lap or their clammy hands are interlocked. My gosh, we all get that you're together. If you really wanted to emphasize this, I suggest getting a shirt that says, "I'm with him/her" and has an arrow pointing to the left or right. Just so that everyone knows. *Buyer beware* If you do decide to invest in one of these shirts, I suggest that you pick one with an arrow direction of your liking, because you'll have to stand on the same side of your gf/bf all the time for your stupid shirt to make sense.
But, I think the one thing that really pushes me over the edge is, when I am unfortunate enough to be the person in the receiving end of this rude gesture and the person on the phone gives me the universal one pointer finger to the face that indicates, "just one minute." Oh, how I hate this. For one, it instantly gives me the desire to break off your damn index finger and shove it down your esophagus causing an obstruction to the airway to your lungs. And I hope to my homeboy, Jesus, that this leads to asphyxia and then to hypoxia. Yeah, you better believe that my words are serious, because I don't think you'll want the random weird nasally guy with probable HINI infection to attempt the Heimlich Maneuver on you. Well, hey it's your own choice.
One more thing....Where the hell did 2009 go?

Another thing is that when people sit on the same side of one booth, they are staring at an empty seat the whole time. Now it just looks like wasted space. If I'm ever hosting and a couple doesn't use the booth appropriately, I'm going to seat another lame love duo across from them. At least the space wouldn't be wasted. Productivity prevails.
24. People who leave their belongings in empty seats when people are standing
When riding on a public transportation vehicle, I believe it is acceptable to put a bag, books, etc in the seat next to you if there is no one wanting to take a seat there. But, if the bus is full of people put your shit in your damn lap. Why is it so hard for people to act in an appropriate way? I guess I'll never understand. All of these things seems so trivial and obvious to me. I'll just leave it at this: Move your shit.
25. People who are on their phones at inappropriate times
Let's just start a sub-list to what I consider unacceptable and inconsiderate
End your damn phone conversation when you're:
- giving your order to a server
- receiving your order
- next in line at a cashier
- at work and it's your job to greet customers
- out with people and are continuously blabbing on the phone in front of them
But, I think the one thing that really pushes me over the edge is, when I am unfortunate enough to be the person in the receiving end of this rude gesture and the person on the phone gives me the universal one pointer finger to the face that indicates, "just one minute." Oh, how I hate this. For one, it instantly gives me the desire to break off your damn index finger and shove it down your esophagus causing an obstruction to the airway to your lungs.

Again, my apologize for the somewhat blog sabbatical. Then again, not one person added a comment or suggestion. NOT ONE! You know what? I have one more...
26. People who read my blog posts and do not comment
You know who you are...and I know that people visit my page without commenting because there is a nifty visitor counter on my right panel of my blog. So, yeah I need documented love to my page, not just verbal. I'm going to just throw this out there, but... I self-consciously rate my friendships by comment frequency. Just a little FYI for people out there. So, to spell it out to you...the more you comment the more I'll probably like you. And, if you don't comment at all....well, I probably hold a deep grudge buried within my soul against you. So.... no biggie.
One more thing....Where the hell did 2009 go?

So I guess you hold a deep-in-your-soul grudge against me right? *sigh* I guess I deserve it, and btw, who was the douche in middle school? I can almost remember you telling me who it was but I'm blank. Oh, and 100% agree with you on the cell phone thing, I'm working at Academy part time and holy crap could you respect me enough to break away from your conversation and say "hi" and "thank you" at least?? grr...
Everyone who doesn't comment does deserve it. But, since you strayed away from your usual neglect...I'll forgive you this time.
I agree about the couples in the booth...barf!! I mean come on, you came to eat, not make out!!! No one else wants to see that anyway!! Oh and I hear some of the most ridiculous conversations when people are talking on their phones on the bus. I especially hate it when they get louder and louder! Im sure the person on the other end isn't deaf, so shut the hell up!! Ok Im done..at least for now. Btw we're not friends! ;)
I really wanted to be part of number 26. Just to say i'm a part of something. But you guilted me into it... I like to talk to people talking on their blueteeth (is that the plural?) and pretend they're talking to me. It freaks them out and it's hilarious. As for regular cell phone users, I can honestly say now that people on them in the classroom is pretty annoying. I definitely understand why they are banned in high school. As for the siamese couples attached at every body part, you should offer to show them how to sit correctly. They piss me off when I'm just a customer
Well here is what I have to say...I feel like I have to take notes when reading your blog. There are about hundred comments that run through my mind when reading it and then I get here and...NOTHING. Btw I'm one of those people who use academic computers for other things like reading your blog. What do you truly have against facebook? Its great.
You should add on there how much you hate people with tiny dicks, like me. And there's nothing wrong with sitting side-by-side in a booth. It gives me a chance to smell the other person's rancid breath. And wait-a-tick finger gesture is my favorite. I do it to everyone I know, because when I'm talking to my mom, I need to devote a lot of attention to her and her breasts. You know this, dawg.
I will never understand why I have to leave a comment for you to understand that I love you Andrea. I have to buy your love through comments now?
You're absolutely nuts. So here's your comment.
I will never give you a verbal comment again. In fact, I will only communicate with you through the blog comment system from now on. No hugs, no eye contact... Nothing!
(Haw)
UGH we have soo many of the same problems. AND where did 2009 go anyway? oh well i guess for those who believe in 2012 they better start getting their shit together and tell their loved ones goodbye bc that sucker is coming soon! soo i would totally hate to be the one to piss you off btw! i dont want my index finger down my throat! ANGRY WOMEN! hehe
TREY IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO RIGHT! hehe jk! i love your blogs!
haha I always sit on the same side of the booth with my boyfriend. I just like being right up next to him! It's not because I want everyone to know we're together or something like that. It just makes me feel good when our legs are touching, and I like that feeling better than staring at his face for an hour straight. Plus, I like having the same view as him because then we can comment on the same people in the restaurant. To each his own I guess.
To Pedro the Goat: lol
Andrea, every time I read a blog, I have had an experience very similar....we saw a couple sitting in a two sitter booth...BUT THEY WERE BOTH ON ONE SIDE!!!!! THEY COULDN'T EVEN EAT.....YOU ROCK ANDREA!
Yep, I'm with LTrain on this one. If I'm with my girlfriend, I sit on the same side. If I am with two of my girlfriends, I have them sit on either side of me, still in one booth. It is only when the number is three that I start using the opposite side, to create a sort of me-sandwich. Upon four+, I also reserve the table behind me so the ladies can hop up behind me. See, the rules change when you're in love.
Your blogs are both entertaining and insightful. You should be nominated for the Heisman Trophy of Blogging. Keep them coming and good job Andrea.
I agree with the 'Nor (Jonah) when it comes to the multiple lady situation, because that's OBVIOUSLY something us studly men have to deal with, but otherwise face-to-face.
P.S. End your damn phone conversation when you're: IN A PUBLIC FUCKING RESTROOM (you freak).
Just so we're clear, there is only ONE LTrain. Sorry, Lauren K.
Unless you want to settle this once and for all.
Btw...nice post Andrea
I HATE when I am sitting next to a couple having a conversation with them and the guy is rubbing on his girlfriend's leg and it seems like something is about to happen. That makes me feel a little uncomfortable.
LMAO!!!!! I thought I was the hatter, but it seems you are!! That's some deep rage you holdin inside, shortie!!! HATE HATE HATE HATE!!
Dude, once in college I was a delivery driver for Pluckers. I had to deliver to jester. Yes, jester... The biggest fucking dorm in the nation with ohhhh 5 parking spots. 3 handicapped, 1 for RA of the month and 1 for the dean right?? Well I straight up left my POS all over those yellow lines. What? I had the blinking lights on. So after douche one( an 18 year old freshman I just tore away from his mad pwning in CS) an douche two( another 3rd year freshman who just took a girl " back to his place" AKA Jeater West.. I come out to see some golf cart ass hat writing me a ticket. So I flashed a little and I think he could smell the wing sauce radiating from my clothes so he let me go no ticket. Doesn't Change the fact I still think he's lame. I mean, really? U didn't see the giant fucking chicken sign on my roof? Give me a break.
