Some (more) Things That I Just Don't Like
People who
comment about how fast I typeThere is hardly a day at work where somebody doesn't make a
comment about how fast I type. Most of them are middle-aged men and women, but
I'll occasionally get someone my age give me their two cents. It's usually just
a "wow, you sure type fast," which I can easily respond with a
"yup." Sometimes, however, I'll get a frisky customer that asks how I
learned to type so fast. I hate this question because the only answer I can
give them is "I just figured it out." They never seem satisfied with
that. Most of the time I just want to tell them to stop being a wussy and
actually use the computer without your kid sighing and doing everything for you.
This leads me to...When I know
more about something than a superiorI think this one is rather self-explanatory. Whether at
work, home, or school, I always have people who get paid a whole lot more than
I do who occasionally show the intellectual capacity of a lima bean. I mean,
they probably know a lot more than I do about certain things, but there are
still times when I just want to put my head in my hands and give up on
humanity. This is especially true of certain concepts that are firmly engrained
in people that no amount of logical argument can make them budge.The hanging
"so..."Ugh, I can't stand when people do this. What's worse is that
I am guilty of it from time to time, as well. This is often employed at the end
of some explanation. Someone explains something or another, then just tacks on
a "so" to the end and expects you to fill in the blank. (Okay, it's
hard to describe in writing, so I hope you all know what I mean.) I don't like
it because it makes the other person sound like a know-it-all.When the
toilet paper faces the wrong wayOkay, this message goes to every man and woman on the planet
(and you hermaphrodites, too). When you put a roll of toilet paper onto the
spindle, the end you tear from is supposed to face away from the wall. Personal
opinion be damned! This is my list, and what I say goes.People who
don't think I'm a godWhat's up with that?

Yeah, hate those people who don't even know how to type fast. I mean geez, it's a computer, the world demands that you know how to use one. Typing isn't that hard at all.
(omg, not a random Yuki picture)
Oh yeah, Merry Christmas and/or Pastafarian Christmas,

I agree with numbers 1 and 4.

I know people say this all the time but lol! I really did burst out laughing at that last one. My parents are like, "Be quiet; the babies are sleeping." I very amusing list.
I get the typing fast comment too but I just take it as a compliment.
And I kinda like when it faces the wall(toilet paper)... but only recently. Heh.
Sorry, I'm one of the people that tell other people that they're really amazing if they can type fast. It's because I've got such terrible hand to eye co-ordination (I was never good at sports) and I'm such a div especially when it comes to computers. Sorry!
I haven't worked in that many jobs but all of my superiors have been really old and greying and so I guess they have "experience".
English people usually say "So then..." or I hate this the most "You know what I mean...?" No!!! You retard I don't know what you mean if you cut the sentence off mid-way!!!!
I like my loo roll facing that way too, but my mum doesn't care and she shoves it any old way. Now, I have to have it facing away from the wall. It's so much handier when you tug at it because it follows the natural movement of the tug...Kinda weird talking about loo roll...
