Things that piss me off more than they should

1) Toilets with weak flushes. I mean wtf is the point of those things? It’s like they tease your shit into particles and then just go away without doing the job they were designed to do. And then you go filling this dirty cracked bucket which is invariably accompanied by a tap that just about trickles and you’re praying so hard that it cuts (sh)it because there’s a queue to use the loo and the longer you take the surer they are that you’re stinking it up in there. This ofcourse, did not happen to me.

2) Bottles with unnecessarily large mouths. I always end up pouring half the contents down my shirt. My mother purposely spends more to buy such bottles. She thinks this will teach me to not drink directly from the bottle. I think she does this to piss me off.

3) Having too many things to hold. Cell phone, wallet, cigarettes, kerchief, sweater, book. Irritating. It’s why I carry humongous bags everywhere I go and why I have a chronic shoulder ache. Example: I’m not (yet)one of those irate women in the second class compartment of the Thane fast. But the other day I was carrying 6 heavy plastic bags (don’t ask. Okay christmas shopping), my handbag and my cell phone. The woman beside me kept tch’ing, so I turned around and asked her what her problem was. In Marathi. That i made a fool of myself has no relevance to this anecdote.

4) People that use British terminology/pronunciation that sticks out like a sore thumb, in a non joking way. Example, “Yea dude, hes totally chav” and like, “I saw this go-juss pair of shoes!” No, this isn’t completely made up.

5) People who take more than just a polite bite of my food and go for all the best parts. Example, the potatoes and the chicken and the mushrooms. The upside to it (and the only reason i don’t throw a fit) is that I grudgingly get to lower my calorie intake.

6) Super huggy people. They just need an excuse. “OMG you’re back from the bathroom!” *HUG*

What makes you madder than it should?
