irritation list

so i was on manang's blog, which i haven't read in forever, when i noticed one of her posts was about irritations. even though i'm at peace now, i'll take a stab at turning on my stink eye. if you want to see her list. and yeah, some of my irritations are hers too... ma-arts!

1. when a cellphone goes off during a performance. dude, turn it off! you're there to have a good time and to shut out the world and tune in to the performance. respect the art man!

2. people who cut in line. nothing irritates me more, especially like when you're in line for a ride or something, and A WHOLE GROUP cuts in line where one or two people are the place holders. UGH! it irritated me when me and a friend had to do that for our other late ass friends when we went to see a certain comedian's concert a long time ago. or that we have to reserve like 15 seats for a full show! wtf? so used!

3. when someone at the market starts a long ass conversation with the checkout person and there's hella people in line! what's up with that? HELLO! there's like a line here and your telling the check out person the story of how your cat's tearing up your couch? oh, no! you are not digging in your big ass bag for loose change too! oh hell no!

4. when you're having a conversation with a person and their favorite word is I. that irritates me. when i feel like i'm doing that, it irritates the hell out of me. there's so much more to life than you... or me. be humble or start using the plural of what you did so that it becomes we... or us. i'm no one. meaning that you don't have to impress me for me to like you. of course, i is a part of english, but use it when necessary, like i'm drowning! that'd would be an appropriate time to use i.

5. when someone doesn't pay their share of a bill at a restaurant. grrrr... nothing chaps my hide more than this. dammit, you ordered the food you sure as hell better pay for it! why the hell do we have to pay for your food?! just fess up and say that that you're short and we'll get your back, just don't say, uhh... who didn't pay? uhhh... i threw in my share... bitch, then when are the times we're short on the bill, it's only when you're with us? bastard!

6. when someone parks in two spaces! who died and made you mayor of parkingville? you and your sorry ass ford festiva with the 22 inch wheels ain't special enough to take over two parking spaces. fuck that, my next car's going to be a tow truck. next time i see your ass taking up two spaces, i'm hitching your ride and parking it in the pacific ocean!

7. preface: i love my mom. irritation: when she tells me to do something at the last minute. why? oh, can you take me to the market. oh by the way, wear something nice, because we're going to a party at the fil-am club and you need to sing a tagalog song... oh yeah, bring the minus one version because they don't have it there? wha? I thought you just needed a ride to Safeway? always like that.

let me end it there. hehe. i was all into peace and being with one with the world, and i'm dropping a whole bunch of f and s bombs in the post :) i'm human.

peace be with you. hanggang sa muli!

ps... sorry, i'm thinking of more things...

8. people who are religiously hypocritical! i hate it when people get on their moral and religious high ground and say how much they love God and that He is their everything, but they do the exact opposite of the Lord's teachings. i've been open about where i stand on my own views and believe me, i'm so not in position to be a "jesus freak" (a real definition) but i'd rather have actions speak louder than words. i wonder if it's a ramification of colonialism that sometimes some people think that since they love God and His Son and worship His name every Sunday that they are automatically forgiven for anything they may say or do against anyone who doesn't share their love. that's stupid.

9. skin-whitening products. why? i just don't understand these products that proliferate the Philippine market. it's such a psychological fucked up thing to do to people and their psyche to make them think that they need to be another color to be beautiful, smart, noticed... whatever. i just don't get it and sad. You are made to be you...

the list grows

10. people who don't say thank you when you open the door for them. true, they didn't ask for the door to be open for them, but it's out of courtesy and a little courtesy in return won't kill ya. i'm armed with a "you're welcome" in the ready, but with no sign of gratitude, i'll be more than happy to turn that reply into a rock aimed at your head. 2 words. that's all.
