Annoying Little Habits!
Lately it has been brought to my attention that annoying little habits are all around us and some of us don't even realize how annoying we are. Some of the things annoying me have always been right there in front of me and never seemed to bother me until recently. I wonder why that is. Let me tell you a few things that have bugged me and see if they would bug you also...
someone sitting and clicking something, whether it be thier finger nails or a pen or tapping their fingers, while you are trying to watch a good show on the tube....
someone instant messaging over and over when you obviously avoiding them by not answering...do they ever quit?
someone using their ustensil to scrape or stir whatever they are eating, over and over and over...the noise of the metal on the plate is enough to drive you nuts!
men who brush thier teeth and then hack and spit at the end...like they swallowed half the toothpaste. Never said men were a graceful sort of creature.
how about someone that badmouths someone you love, and because you don't want to walk on eggshells with this person you go along with it even though what you really want to do is give them a good tongue lashing.
Someone who talks and talks when you are trying to watch a good movie
Oh, here's a good one for all you pet owners...what about when you are sleeping better than you have in days and the damned cat decides to lick your face at 5:00am. I hate that!
what about these bratty little kids of ours that have no manners and chew with their mouths open so all you hear is spit.
the mailman comes and it has been raining and becasue this certain mailman thinks he's more holy than God and can do anything he wishes, your mail is all stuck together wet.
then there's the obvious annoyances...inconsiderate people that don't cover their mouths when they cough...stickers that the store puts on something and there's just no way you can get all the residue off...the little old lady/man that drives about fifteen miles an hour on the day that you seem to be late for everything.
Now, I am no prude...I know that I have annoying little habits just like everyone else. I tend to "overthink" things and when I'm stressed about things it's even worse. I always have to have the last word in an argument with hubby. I stutter when I talk. I get tongue tied and laugh too much when I'm nervous or talking to someone I feel inferior to. I'm a computer hog and hate it when other people read my email. and it's rather annoying the way I am so paranoid about germs, if you have even a hint of a cough don't come to my house.
All of us have the power to change ourselves so those annoying little habits are no more...I really am trying to change so my own aren't as annoying. Now I wish others would do something about thier annoying habits also. And those of you out there that think they have none...you are all a bunch of liars and that might be the most annoying habit of all. I can say this, that is one habit that I'm proud I don't have...I don't lie!
Annoyances can be funny at times too, like the cat licking your face one. Do any of you want to add to my list...feel free.
