Here comes my six peeves
Sunday, 15. April 2007, 14:38:39
A while ago, I was tagged by late bloom re pet peeves. This weekend I got a better understanding of the word "peeves", which makes the flowing of mine a lot easier.
1. Lonely folks who occupy service windows in banks and other facilities for longer than necessary just to chat, completely oblivious of the long line behind them.
2. People who can't get a point across without quoting Forest Gump's mother ("Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get"). Life is NOT freaking like a box of chocolates!!! If you can mimic like I do and utter that line in credible southern American accent, I'll give you credit. Otherwise, shut the hell up!
3. Men who frequent the local libraries like gigantic walking mothballs. Most likely you have migrated from a subtropical area where heavy use of mothballs in the closets is necessary. Canada, where you are now residing, is in the North Temperate Zone; which means you can go easy with the mothballs. It's that time of year again. Can't you air out your spring clothes before wearing them? Don't you freaking suffocate me again!
4. Feeble single/divorced Chinese American men who stare and stare. Yes, you are Asian, I am Asian, and we have met in a town full of Caucasians. That doesn't mean you've now met your future wife. You don't know a thing about me. American green card is desirable but not everything. So stop your steady gaze, especially after I've made it clear to your family that I am not interested!
5. Married Middle East men who stare and stare. Standing terribly close. Trying to impact me with a pair of those large sad dark eyes like wells of melancholy. Think you can melt me with that???!!!
6. Men at work who try to finish a sentence and a big yawn at the same time. You just don't goddamn torture our senses like that!!
OK, I am now ready to name four individuals to vent their peeves. It's a bit late but my duty nonetheless. Don't blame me if you don't like the idea.

I'm sorry you're getting hassled by rude dudes who can't take a hint! That IS annoying indeed. Maybe you need to get a big pair of Jackie O sunglasses or some kind of disguise...

It never seems to occur to them that they should consider people or things other than themselves. They don't think it a big deal smoking near others, standing in the way of others who, say, have to get off a bus or overtake them on the road, leaving food wastes in the sink even though they are sure the wastes cannot pass through the drain, let lights or other electrical devices on even though they don't need so, or worse, never wanting to learn to be considerate......... I'm not implying that I can be considerate every time and on every occasion. But, at least, I want to be considerate and am ready to learn what I can do to be more considerate.
