I was chatting up irksome things with a fellow blogger this morning, and it inspired me to revisit the ‘Annoyances’ posts I used to do back on my drinking blog. So this evening, I came up with a plan of action. Sit down and set the timer for a couple minutes whilst listing some of the things that annoy me.
Back in the day, (a couple years ago, on my drinking blog) I would’ve supplemented my vitriolic acid with alcohol, nicotine and Oxy. Sadly, this post was written with nary a performance enhancing drug involved. I seriously miss just how much fun I used to be. And so what if it was eighty proofed with a hallucinogenic chaser and nicotine cherry on top? It still fucking counts.
(Editor’s Note: I went back after my couple minutes was up and added some thoughts to the annoyances that supply a particular curse word or several whenever they come to mind. Because not all annoyances are created equal.)
So without further adieu, I give you some annoyances fresh off the top of my head. With no chemically enhanced originality to flavor things up. And, umm . .you’re welcome?
- White guys who say “My bad” . . . and mean it.
- Nicholas Sparks
- The Rolling Stones insane popularity
- March Madness– The analysts are glorified used car salesmen, the coaches are made men and the best talent goes right to the NBA. It’s a dirty sport . . without the fun. It’s a slap in the face to organized crime is what it is.
- Kristen Bell
- Cart Attendants
- Applebee’s
- Vaping
- Sporks
- BBQ debates– KC says they have the best BBQ while Carolina (pick one) says they have the best BBQ. And I don’t like BBQ. So whatever.
- Sequins
- Mullets
- Apple
- Red Sox fans– Hey peeps, you have four World Series titles in the last fifteen years and you’re still 18 behind the Yankees. The team has a nice core which can possibly win a couple more in the next decade. But the Yankees will match that. Which means your stinking Sawx will still be looking up at the Yankees a century from now. Slow your roll.
- Nipple rings
- People who say “Must be nice . . .”
- Guy Fieri
- People who rant on social media while sitting in their car
- NA Beer
- MTV
- Forrest Gump
- Jenny from Forrest Gump– It figures that in one of the most overrated movies of a generation, Gump has the worst girlfriend. Ever.
- Assholes who rev their engines at traffic lights
- Peloton People
- Commercials
- Stairway to Heaven
- Match Box collectors
- Panera Bread acting like it’s God’s gift to food
- Extreme Couponers
- Public Restrooms
- Painfully specific Starbucks orders
- People who say LOL
- The wanton use of the word Amazing
- Cupcake Wars- This show is subsidized by the Department of Defense in an attempt to subvert the term ‘war’. Thereby making it not only more psychologically acceptable, but downright fucking tasty. And if you consider my opinion to be ridiculous, it ain’t any more ridiculous than a show called cupcake wars.
- McCafe
- Jeannine Pirro
- People who give you dirty looks when you walk in a bar, as if you just walked into their living room
- Running into an ex
- The sound of tapping on a keyboard in a movie or TV show
- Baseball caps with a flat bill
I’m not gonna lie, I could have done this all day long. More than ninety percent of the shit I come across on a daily basis is either irksome or downright fucking annoying to me. I have to believe it’s not healthy to be annoyed by so many things so much of the time.
I guess that’s what therapy is for.
