It's not a bad thing! You're not the obnoxious kind at all!

YAY venting time:
1)Non-signaling drivers are at the top of my list. How am I supposed to know that you are turning if you don't signal. I think you are in my way, or driving slow to be annoying, or you have no idea where you are going. Just hit the signal and let your fellow drivers know what you about to do.

2) Misspelling my name when you've known me since birth. Real Name: Deleasa. It's a shame when people meet me for the first time and not only spell it right but also pronounce it correctly. Yes it's unique, but if you've known me forever, c'mon. Also not getting a pass are those who have seen my name written numerous times but insist on spelling it differently. Crazy spellings: Delisa, D'Lisa, Delessa, Daleesa. Just adamant about my name being spelled correctly.

3) Making eye contact with somebody who chooses to stare instead of saying Hello, Good Morning, or You got something on your face. It creeps me out.

4) When I lose something that I know I just had and end up wasting another 20 minutes trying to figure out where I placed it. Then having to accept the fact that it's lost at least for awhile.

5) Snobbery at Starbuck's and Noah's Bagels. Ok, I'm overwhelmed by the options, don't pressure the newbie. I end up ordering something basic like lemon cake at Starbuck's. Apparently I was supposed to include some fancy coffee in order to be accepted to the club. Ummm...I'm just hungry, not thirsty.

6) If I have something really important to express and if people aren't going to listen then I shut up and stop talking. So you want me to talk more but you are too preoccupied to listen, then why bother.

7) Walking behind a smoker and getting hit with the smoke. It happens all the time downtown. I gotta dodge them daily.

1. Being called "Georgie Porgie"....I'm 40 friggin' years old....the nickname stopped being cute about 35 years ago....

2. Being asked by a friend whether or not they should do something, even though they already know they're going to do it.....

3. Still being treated like a little brother....of the teenage variety....by my older sisters....

4. in my job, I hate people making shit more difficult than it needs to be by stressing over the tiniest details.....

...thats for starters.....

you mean GATEAU?????

When ppl get mad at me.

When the kids in my math class chew on the little strings hanging from the necks
of thier sweat shirts.

When I try to enjoy a good anime that I've seen in japanese dubbed in english very poorly to the point that it ruins it

When I don't remember something and I feel upset about it

When I can't do anything for someone who deserves it

When I realize I'm procrastinating when I could be doing something.

When the heat isn't on when it gets cold in english class (but thats forgivable since I love my english teacher)

Oh...and when I'm the last one adding to a once fluent conversation.

and being the youngest everywhere I go

I'll add my name to the "people who mispronouce/misspell/shorten my name" list. My name is Joni, not Joanie and definitely not Joan. And no, it's not short for anything nor pronounced Johnny.


Also, at work I'm away from my desk a lot and I get a lot of phone calls. It pisses me off when the old ladies (and they are usually old ladies) call me numerous times in one day b/c I haven't had time to return their calls immediately. And then when I do call back, they aren't home and don't have a fucking answering machine. And I can't email them the info because they don't have email! Seriously, one person called me seven times in 2 days and I spoke with her twice as well.

I'm okay with strangers assuming I'm younger than I am because of my size and looks. I've made peace with that. What pisses me off though is people who know me treating me as if I'm younger than I am, and I'm older than most of my friends and really no less mature, so that's saying something.

Customers at work who act as if the sale is over/the price is set/the phone wasn't answered immediately/we're out of stock of a certain item on purpose just to ruin their day.

People who seem to be proud of being stupid, and flaunt their ignorance like a badge of honour.

I'm with Mach. Can't think of anything!

Faux reggae/Bob Marley lovers who own just a copy of 'Legend' and think thats all there is to know about Rastafarianism.

I work in the South, and am black. (no, neither of those irk me...)

One of my colleagues likes to ghetto-fy my name, when he greets me...

But, I'm not sure whether he's doing an extreme Southern pronunciation or a "I wanna be hip and black" delivery of it.

At least he's not going, "Whaddup, Dawg." Another colleague tried that once, and I had to nip a bud...
