irritants

Today I was irritated by a highly irritating supplier. Every single time I have called this woman, it always diverts to her voicemail. I would prefer speaking to someone rather than a machine for acknowledgement. You never know with voicemail, she could say she never got the message or some other crap excuse. I rang the mainline and was directed to her after failing to get her on her direct line. This remark from her really got me going...

"There is such a thing as voicemail, you know. If I am unable to answer the phone please leave a message"

ok..umm so if you were so unavailable , HOW COME YOU ANSWER ON ANOTHER LINE ??

This got me thinking about other things I find irritating in no particular order

1. Mozzie bites - Today I woke up with friggin 4 bites on my right FOOT alone. wtf. Honestly, what use do mosquitoes have ? They bite people and spread disease. Even ants are more useful (to anteaters I suppose, I can't even name something that eats mosquitoes. Useless)

2. People that plonk their asses down on the bus seat so hard that my side of the seat 'pops'. Please, my peripheral vision is fine, no need to so violent until like that.

3. People that chiong for the mrt. OMG give way to those alighting ffs. You won't get a prize for being the first one in. Ass.

4. People in the lift who can SEE you approaching but hurriedly press the button to CLOSE THE DOOR.

5. Confirming with your boyfriend to meet you at point A and he waits at point B. He then calls you up all angry and shit. oh wtf.

6. The boyfriend's incessant desire to keep his pinky nail nice and LONG. Useful for digging he says. Sheesh. Which leads me to...

7. His fascination with his toenail clippings. HE KEEPS THEM IN NEAT PILES NEXT TO THE BED THINKING I WON'T FIND THEM. GAHHH. Actually my mum once told me my dad used to store his toenail clippings in a JAR when they were going out. I have no words.

8. Wanting to have a nice refreshing ice-cold glass of coke and finding the ice-tray EMPTY. marajaded, are you there ?

9. My seat in the cinema being kicked from behind. That's a given, I'm sure everyone would find this irritating. Unless you're made of I don't know... wood.

10. Waiting for customers to leave when the restaurant is CLOSING (from my waitressing days). They know they're the only table, they can see all of us GLARING. Man, what are you ? Blind ? Take your party somewhere else.
