I’m feeling particularly irky today, which means it is a great time to post a blacklist. 😀 To protect the guilty, this list will exclude any people who rightfully belong there, save for politicians and/or celebrities already in the public eye; instead, I will focus the bulk of my dislike on annoyances and peeves of the non-human variety.
Here they are, in no particular order…
Here they are, in no particular order…
- Fake accents.
- Questions of a personal nature posed by nosy people.
- Episodes on TV that are “To be continued”.
- Ignorance in all of its forms.
- Abusive language or behavior of any kind.
- Juice that is warm – it’s just not right.
- Crowds, especially those of slow-walkers who don’t realize they’re in the way!
- People speaking loudly on their phones in the theater.
- Gum that gets all rubbery or loses flavor in mere minutes.
- Headlights that shine way too bright and blind us when travelling at night.
- People who lie for no apparent reason and think the rest of the world is dumb enough to believe their lies.
- Show-offs!
- Kids that are allowed to run around and make tons of noise by their irresponsible parents.
- Odors that are foul.
- Pot holes on the road that make you cringe at every step.
- Bugs and Rodents of all varieties.
- Swear words used by people just to sound cool.
- Trash, particularly cigarette butts, littered in otherwise beautiful and pristine outdoor areas.
- People who walk right in the middle of the road and don’t bother to give way to oncoming vehicles. (Applicable only in India 😛 )
- Umbrellas that get stuck exactly when it starts pouring.
- Vehicles parked right in the middle of a crowded area!
- Wet towels on the bed, on the floor, or just about anywhere they don’t belong.
- Excessive make-up worn by women during a morning walk! I keep laughing in my head… (Seriously ladies, get a damn clue!)
