List of Irritating Things

[Nast]

People who are smart yet not smart enough to know when to hide it.

People who press the button at the crosswalk a million times, even though it doesn't do anything. They must like the beepy noise.

When you set out to prepare a recipe, but near the end you discover that you don't have a key ingredient or that you left it out.

The kiosks at the mall that sell hair extensions and cell phone accessories are irritating

People who are smart yet not smart enough to know when to hide it.

I know better, I just do it anyway.

And what do you have against cellphones with hair extensions?

And what do you have against cellphones with hair extensions?

Well, cellphone kitsch is somehow understandable, but I can't imagine someone walking around in a mall and then suddenly realizing that it's time to replace their skanky-ass weave with a fresh one, from a kiosk, off all things. Well, I can imagine it, but it's hateful.

Your heart is black as sin.

No I meant like...nevermind.

Listing irritating things.

Gums that feel funny.
People who ride bicycles wearing cowboy boots.
People under thirty who have mutton chops.
People.
Those who understand depth of recursion.
When someone says "what?" just to buy time to think of a clever comeback
Income tax for people who live below the poverty line
Hearing about social justice non stop since I moved to Portland
Hearing the word "sorry" when it's not appropriate

The persistent squeak of the gas meter on a hot summer night.

-the way my one cat always ALWAYS beats up on the fat black one
-when people at work talk to me
-how the commercials are 5 levels higher than the show you're watching
-newer country music
-snuggie commercials
-sudden itches that make you jump
-hair that falls inside my shirt and touches me
-lids not tightened properly on the salad dressing bottles
-that stinky smoke after you blow out a candle
-cat vomit
-lovebugs
-children
-dry toast

When you're about to fall asleep a car alarm starts for no apparent reason...and then doesn't stop for a long time.

All of these!

But I like the smell of candle smoke, even if it's full of cancer.

Irritating Things

[Disco Pickle]

people on their cellphone while they're driving.

the way my cat will dig in the litter box for 5 minutes..  i keep expecting to come in and see a rock garden or a sand castle but no..  just litter all over the damn floor.

ordering a hamburger plain and they put ketchup on it.  that shit is just gross.
or worse, mayonnaise.  I don't even like thinking about that shit.

when things on my Jeep break.  It's a 20 year old vehicle and shit's sometimes hard to find.

white girls with ghetto inflection to their voice.  really, ANYONE with ghetto inflection to their voice. 

anyone who dismisses electronic music out of hand or calls it all "techno" or worse..  "disco" 

people who cancel plans at the last minute. 

children.  all of them.
