Whats something weird that bothers you?

Post Reply New Topic

It's a situation that 'always' (5x) seems to go something like this:

1. A problem will be noticed.
2. I will present a possible solution.
3. A Committee will be formed to study the problem and and determine no less than three possible solutions.
4. I will present my solution to the Committee.
5. The committee will present its own solutions to Management.
6. I will present my solution to Management.
7. Management will select one of the solutions presented by the Committee.
8. I will implement the selected solution as presented by the Committee.
9. The solution fails to solve the problem.
10. Management blames me for the failure.
11. I secretly implement my original solution.
12. My solution works.
13. The Committee takes credit for the solution.
14. Management praises the Committee.
15. I resign.
16. The company goes out of business.

Five times this has happened since the late 1970s!

-when my husband doesn't keep his movies in genre order
-looking at photos with blurry objects in the background
-when the "hair" toiletries and "teeth" toiletries get put into the same bathroom drawer
-the sound of car horns
-adults using baby talk
-people around me when I'm cooking
-artificial nails and hair dye (they scare me a little bit because they seem like they'd damage the person's hair/nails)

I also have to shuffle the songs on my iPod every time I listen to them after more than one day.

sociopaths who twist the truth around to suit their purposes.

chewed gum spat onto a walking surface. yuck. i hate seeing those
tobacco chew spat onto a walking area or playing field. gross. i often had to do sit-ups on those while doing PT in the army. just gross!
littering. go leave trash in your own area, not everyone else's, litterers
people tossing their trash into my pickup's bed. it makes me want to toss my trash in their living room
planting of fruit trees that leave fruits that splat when they fall near a pedestrian frequented sidewalk. it's messy and sticks to shoes
spiders putting their webs on my vehicle

People who talk about me (by name) when they think I'm not around, and then deny that they were talking at all when I confront them.

People who ignore me until they need something from me, and then forget all about me once they have it.

Smokers who take personal offense from 'No Smoking' rules.

Panhandlers who become indignant and abusive when you offer them something other than money (i.e., food, clothing, jobs, et cetera).

People who keep asking the same stupid questions about their love lives in the apparent hope that they'll eventually get an answer they like.

1. This whole positivity nonsense that has gripped American culture today.

2. Expectations placed upon high school grads and college grads which are impossible to meet.

3. Internal locus of control that most people in, in the strictest sense.

4. You're not special speech that is chocked full of metaphors, hackneyed speech and clichés which doesn't tell how to properly live in concrete and specific terms.

5. The government shutdown

6. Some Conservative minded people who call the kettle black and are inconsistent. They complain about one person's complaint about unfairness yet complains about their own version of unfairness.

7. Some people becoming upset when one questions American beliefs, tenets and values.

8. Corollary to number 7, the belief in "my country right or wrong."

9. Rules that exist in the workplace and in other areas of life that one is not entitled to knowing in which the EEOC graciously informed me of.

10. Corollary to 9, one is expected to obtain without others telling you and no one tells you how to obtain said rules. The procedure to obtain the rules without anyone telling you is knowledge one is not entitled to know.

11. Corollary to 9 as well, one is only entitled to what he has earned including the rules and knowledge on how to earn.

12. People who give answers which some people consider simple but are devoid of substance and tells me nothing.

13. Inconsistent standards and expectations

14. Style over substance

15. Kim Kardashian

16. Paris Hilton

17. Those who stick by what-is fact(instead of doing what if analyses) in their current iteration and do not realize that existence is permeable including society. Things change, processes are improved, inventions are thought up and implemented, etc. These things especially newspaper, print, and the internet can shape us and shape who we are as a people. Like Marshall McLuhan said "The Medium is the Message." It is disconcerting to me why some people can't grasp this. It is disconcerting to me that others can't perceive future possibilities that can come from various beliefs, values and standards.

18. The corollary to 17 to this is I feel disconcerted to those who take property rights as though it is absolute and see this as strictly inalienable. One conclusion I perceive from this is a form of tyranny that could come about because a group of people or a single person manages to buy a good chunk of the world's resources, gain more and more power until they become the defacto government by buying out the government.

19. The corollary to 18 that makes me feel disconcerted is that most people can't seem to perceive that the rights we have are a double edged sword and these rights can lead to our own damnation and destruction.

20. The corollary to 19 is ideas that are great but when taken to a certain point and to far are detrimental to a person's life.

-My arm and leg hair: I'm not used it being long enough to be felt, so I'll randomly get the feeling that something is crawling on me while I'm walking.

-Spiderwebs: I often find myself walking through small webs and even after I brush it off, it feels like a spider is somewhere on me.

-Someone locking eyes with me.

People expecting me to be socialable when it doesn't come naturally. Considering me a jerk for breaking some minor invisible rule, like always saying 'good bye' when hanging up the phone.

Mailboxes for houses, the all-in-one-place type which one must drive or walk to, open a little door with a key, and yank the papers, magazines and bills out past sharp edged metal walls.
Also, strangers and family members who speak & act as though they know me.

The sound of velcro ripping. It makes my skin crawl, my teeth itch and my ears feel like someone is using a bottle brush in them.

The sound of scratching on firm fabric. Ugh!
