I was talking with my friend one day and we were just pointing out things that were seemingly misread in the world. I was ending nearly every sentence with, "...don't you just hate that?" It got me to thinking about what irked me, irritated me and just things that annoyed me beyond compare. And so I wrote them. I never really knew how funny they were until I realized how true and they were.
Well, first I have to give credit where credit is due: I was mostly inspired to do this by Scott Cohen who wrote a book called Don't You Just Hate That. It has 738 annoying things that are just hilarious! I hadn't known about it for quite sometime.
He speaks in the most blunt way; pointing out things in life, society, and in your mind that are so true, they crack you up to the bone. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a good laugh, but also anyone who feels the same.
I've got fifty (from my own personal feelings) to start:
Don't you just hate...
...Feeling insignificant while crossing the street as a huge semi-truck roars past.
...The way you can't help but watch the way his lips move and not pay attention to anything he's saying.
...The frustration that comes with fighting an argument in debate and soon realize how totally wrong you are.
...That annoying teacher that just cannot grasp the concept, "I hate you, you're old, this is a new millinium!"
...The person in class that incessantly talks in hopes of saying something, anything, funny.
...The neighbor's dog that is as big as your foot that barks long and weak for twelve hours straight.
...The drawings people doodle in text book [ i.e (turn to page 36) you turn to page 36 (turn to page 109) you turn to page 109 (Your mama!) -__-' ]
...When you buy that sexy, ultra expensive dinner you seen advertised by that hot Itailian man, but tastes utterly disgusting.
...The part of your body that says you can't get up from the kitchen table to get a paper towel from the kitchen counter.
...Saying you can do it, and looking like wimp when you can't lift 350 pounds.
...Being a witness to the most creepy, devistating act and nobody believes you.
...The boy who cried, "wolf!"
...When people think you're coward for apologizing when you accidently bump into them.
...that high sedity person who calls themselve 'modest' in the graduation speech.
...When a guy tells you that you're beautiful, and you believe it, until he burps and you realize that he's drunk.
...The day when you know you're going to get a perm
