Things that irritate or flat-out piss me off. See if you can guess which ones apply to my life right now.
-People who drive all over the fucking parking lot looking for a spot close to the store. Just take a spot and walk. No need to hold up traffic waiting for someone to back out when you could already be in the store if you were willing to use your legs.
-Going to the pharmacy to pick up your prescriptions and then finding out that your insurance change has gone into effect and the rather rude, unhelpful pharmacist apparently isn't fucking willing to call your old provider and get the new information and you haven't gotten it yet and you'd really be happy to do that for her except that you don't have your cell phone on you at the moment because you forgot it on the charger and you only have this hour free because you have another class and after that another with only a short break in between and there's a test in that class that you have to study for before you go which means that you're going to get back after the insurance company is no longer taking calls which means you have to do this tomorrow and you're going to be sick tomorrow because this is Effexor and if you don't get it, it really makes you violently ill and the worst part is that this is really all your fault because you should have gotten a refill right before the insurance change and also you shouldn't wait till the last minute for reasons exactly like this, so instead of taking responsibility for your being a dumbass and accepting it gracefully you go home and write in your stupid little journal thing online even though it's doing you no good and then you expect sympathy.
-Forgetting to go to Trader Joe's on the way home, which you just realized you forgot to do and you need to go now so you're going to have to make this quick.
-Taking a test that you thought was going to be absurdly easy because all the problems you'd been doing in the chapter were absurdly easy and when people didn't understand them in class you were practically rolling your eyes, but then, as you review for the test shortly before you're supposed to take it, you realize that while these things were easy to do when the instructions were readily apparent because you were using the different techniques to solve the problems independent of one another, it was all so simple, but when you have a whole bunch of problems in front you, each using the various techniques you learned, it's suddenly much harder because the rules are starting to jumble around in your head. You realize you could have easily avoided this problem by studying immediately after and before each class, but that apparently is beneath you because everyone else in the class was having such a difficult time and you'd been sitting in the back feeling the sort of smug self-satisfaction that you now realize is unbelievably arrogant. This is, once again, your own fault, but the irritation sends you on a giant mental rant about all the things in your life that you are even slightly less-than-satisfied with because you're just all pissed off at that point.
-That dun-dun-dun-dun dun-dun-dun-dun sound that most alarms seem to make these days.
-RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!!
-The fact that The Benchwarmers apparently made 17 million over the weekend. Not that box office should be any of my concern, but Jesus, what the fuck?
-People who constantly bitch sincerely. Okay, so I'm bitching now, but, at least in real life, I'm either optimistic or try to put on a good attitude. Every once in a while (read: now) it slips, but mostly I'm someone people go to when they want a bit of recognition. I really am getting frustrated with being surrounded by people who constantly are working themselves up over shit that really doesn't fucking matter. So someone apparently skipped out of class early, possibly consequence-free today. Yeah, people do that. You want to do it too? There's the fucking door. Believe it or not, you actually have options available to you.
-There was supposed to be a bunch of random stuff on this list, but I really do have to go now and don't have time to think about it. Maybe later.
Okay, back. I'm not as irritated now, so here are some things that are good:
-Blackberry Raspberry Apple Juice from Trader Joe's.
-BBC nature documentaries, particularly if David Attenborough is in some way involved in them. I speak specifically right now of Planet Earth, which has some of the most amazing footage I've seen. I'm glad someone goes out of their way to put such wonderful programming on television.
-Imported beer and microbreweries. Yeah, I know, I'm a snob, but Jesus, it's the difference between tasting good and not tasting good. In this case, I'm trying some sort of Irish beer that the checkout guy said was good.
