Stupid things that annoy the crap out of me, chapter seven...


Some days my life is happy and swell and warm wonderful, when you expect little Disneyesque animated birds to appear and start singing.

However, more often people annoy the crap out of me:

1- Touchy feely flight attendants. Warm is one thing, intrusive another. Go away.

2- Movie previews that show the whole damn movie, including all the funny parts. That is you, Jennifer Lopez's baby comedy The Back-Up Plan.

3- Drunk dinner party guests who insist on more wine. And belch at the table. And nap. It is awkward and inappropriate and, well, fun to watch on TV. See Dinner Party Wars.

4- Old people who slowly dig for exact change at the checkout.

5- Traffic circles.

6- People who stand too close to me in line for the ATM machine.

7- The genius who decides package quantities are 8 hot dog buns, 12 hot dogs.

8- TV critics who think they know better (hello and goodbye Lone Star...)

9- When cable craps out mid-show on something I want to see, like last night's Britney episode of Glee. You can deliver 800 channels of crap, Survivor, Fox news, and porn, but this you cannot do? And yes, the Britney episode of Glee..

You got those right.. and Flo is sooo annoying. She was funny the first time but 4 billions times later..not so much.

Jennifer Lopez is just annoying period

Don't hate - but I like that Progressive Commercial Chick. She makes me laugh. As for the rest of your list I am in 100% agreeement

Michael Rivers said...

Love the list. I don't mind touchy flight attendants--if it's a hot male attendant. If that's the case, I've often asked for help with my seatbelt.

Katie Gates said...

OMG, the second I saw the top of Flo's head (before I scrolled down, that is), I felt annoyed. She's like nails on a chalkboard! And ironically, that annoyance has become progressive...

Brahm (alfred lives here) said...

Yep, that Flo drives me crazy. What is up with that smile? Creeps me out just a little. I didnt even include her on the list ---- the pic says it all!

anonymouspunchingbag.com said...

Umm. I love each of these. My list would be FAR more expansive. #4 is my favorite. #1 and #8 are tied for second place.

Brahm (alfred lives here) said...

Glad #3 is your favourite, I think...

I was at the supermarket today and was in THE EXPRESS LANE two people behind Grandpa Moses, who was totally sure he had proper change. Which he did not, we all eventually found out. My inner voice was exploding. Aaaargh!

Brahm (alfred lives here) said...

Oops. #4. That will teach me to read, type, ear cookies and drink Diet Coke at the same time...

vickilikesfrogs said...

Oh, #4, how I hate thee.

But, Brahm, how I heart YOU! You have a blog award waiting for you at Glitter Frog! Love and smooches!

Lauren said...

TO GLOBALTV.CA! Seriously. If you haven't already! I loved the Britany episode. Mainly because I love Glee's Brittany. You just never know what she's going to say.

anonymouspunchingbag.com said...

Yup - totally meant #3. I can see no wrong, when I love the author!

Brahm (alfred lives here) said...

Hey Lauren - yep I watched it online, and totally loved it also. Fun fun show!

singlemama_cc said...

Flo better hope I never meet her in a dark ally. Or a brightly lit hallway for that matter. She annoys the fuck out of me and for that, I'd give my left tit to punch her right in the throat.
Just sayin

Love your posts

I so totally agree with the standing too close. My space and your space. And, what is the deal with the hot dog buns and the hot dogs? Who thought that up. Thanks for stopping by!

Rick Modien said...

Sorry, don't agree with the comment on "Lone Star." Too early to decide yet if the show has no potential. Not sure where it will go over time, but I'm willing to stick around to find out. Besides, James Wolk is extraordinarily attractive and appealing, a young George Clooney.

paul said...

No. 6 really hit home. It's not only at the ATM, but at the supermarket. It really annoys me when people begin putting their groceries on the conveyor before you're done with yours. PS. This would make a great monthly post since there are so many annoying things out there.

aims said...

sometimes i thank the higher powers for annoying moronic people because without them... i'd have no blogging powers..... lol ;) well that and my big ass mouth... and my power to curse in any given sentence...

Miss Nikki said...

On that last item, about Glee, personally I would just stop at Glee. That show annoys me. It's nothing like Fame. Oh how I loved Fame. LOVED it. All my friends were. Of course we were in an arts' school drama program. Fame.... *sigh* And that insurance company chick? Über annoying! But love the gecko...

injaynesworld said...

The Britney episode of Glee was done really, really well. I might have to watch it again, and I'm not much of a Britney fan. I may be now.

Brahm (alfred lives here) said...

I did like the Britney episode, now that have watched it online because the damn cabel went off. And I did love Fame too, in its prime. The remake last year blew wind. Which is too bad, cuz you know how my people love the musicals!

Oh and Paul this is at least a monthly posting, probably more --- there is lots of crap out there that annoys me!
