grace in small things: part 21 of 365 – things that annoy me edition

March 3, 2009

in grace

1. people that send me snarky emails as opposed to actually commenting.
2. people that quote philosophers.
3. eyebrows plucked to nothing and filled in with pencil.
4. when my dog or cat has poo stuck on her bum and then scoots around on the carpet.
5. when, by accident, i touch the rim of a glass that someone else has been drinking out of, ditto for plates and triple ditto for people who leave snotty napkins on the table.

I promise to leave future snark here. If I snark. Which I doubt I will. :)

1. Don’t have a blog so have not had this experience.
2. Annoying – I don’t know what they are talking about and they think they are so ERUDITE.
3. What is up with this? Freaky.
4. So gross – with 6 dogs I have had this experience a time or two. Terriers are the worst. I’m sticking to hounds and labs from here on out.
5. In total agreement – yuck.

i agree about the eyebrows. i wanted to be a smartass and quote a philosopher here but i’m too lazy to look something up and all i can think of is “i think, therefore i am” and i don’t know if that really counts.

Oh dear god, I worked at an art store for a year with a #2 and it drove me insane.
#4 totally cracked me up because my son had a (ahem) wiping incident yesterday and was scooting around the carpet (pants on, little mercies I tell you) trying to relieve the itch, when my sister came over she said, “Jack, why are you acting like Scrappy (my parents obese cat)?”
Totally killed me.

#5- when I worked as a server, I used to wash my hands after every run of dishes (it made me feel sick to think that I had touched a plate that someone else had eaten off of) and thank god the sink was right by the pass through and the bar…
I even had a regular customer watch me one night and actually comment that I seemed obsessed with washing my hands to which I replied, “yes I am” and that was all I said…I wouldn’t dare state that it was his disgusting mechanic grease fingers covered with yellow nicotine and god knows what else that REALLY made me wash so frequently!!
and I promise never to leave snarky remarks..xo
