Not quite one of these days, but it's not too far behind. An overwhelming amount of workplace drama as well as a feeling that an implosion is imminent if said drama doesn't cool it means everyone around me is a little bit aggravated, so today I'm going to tell you about my pet peeves.
I realize it's almost like I'm providing you with an arsenal of ways to annoy me, but I think I can trust you. Can I?1. When people leave time on the microwave timer. If I see this, I have to reset it. It's a compulsion. But besides, how hard is it to simply let the time run out? Do you really need your popcorn three seconds faster? I hope it's full of unpopped kernels.
2. Unread messages or alerts.
I can't stand seeing those little red numbers in the corners of apps on the screen of my iPhone. Likewise, my Gmail and Facebook inboxes always have to be clear of unread messages. It may not matter to me that LA Fitness wants me back (they really, really do) or that my alma mater's having a Homecoming celebration I'll never make it to. These messages must be dealt with and they must be dealt with now.3. Listening to one side of a conversation. Like when someone's beside me in the car and they're talking on the phone. I don't care what they're talking about! It could be the weather or birthday parties or
Russian spy secrets for all I care. It's just the one-sidedness that gets on my nerves.4. The sound of people rubbing their hands together. Like when you're cold, or feeling diabolical. It's worse than fingernails on a chalkboard for me. If you use this information against me, I shall be very cross.
I'm not saying if you can shield me from all these things, you'll be my #1 favorite person of all time. But you'll be getting pretty close. As in, "look out, Brian Williams" close.
I mean, that rubbing sound really bothers me.
