Four Things That Bug Me Beyond Belief

A short list of things. None of these are really worth a whole post, but together, they form Captain Annoyance! No...wait. Er, nevermind.

1.) The word "Fiance." I don't know why, but it annoys me. I hated being called one during the engagement period, so you will never hear me call anyone that. It's just...ugh.

2.) Also wedding related. When someone's getting married, don't make the obligatory jokes. Please. We've all heard the cold feet, how the old ball and chain is getting hooked on, how life is over, how she's the last one you'll ever have.

Let it go. It's not funny.

3.) People who whistle incessantly while at work. There is a woman who does this constantly where I work, and she drives me batty. At least now she's whistling Christmas songs instead of "The Song That Never Ends," or "Henry the Eighth I am."

4.) The assumption people make that if you work with them, you should be chummy and smile at each other. Really, I have nothing in common with those I work with. I'm there to pick up their trash and sweep their floors.

I'm not that friendly, wisdom spouting janitor from the holiday movies. If I wanted to talk to you, I would. Leave me alone. I'm not a recluse, I just like to think while I'm at work, about story ideas and such, and you might make me forget something important.

...and after all that negativity, I just want to say, Merry Christmas and such.
