stuff that irritates me...(that most people don't give a shit about)

• that they are making a Wonder Woman movie (friggin-A!) and Jessica "i am the dullest woman on earth" Biel and Kim "how old are you again?" Basinger are on the short list to play her (ick!). first of all, talk about opposites, sounds like the writers have no idea what they're doing...and if they cast kimmy they'd might as well ask Lynda Carter if she wants to do it because they're pretty close in age. and didn't they know that i really, really wanted to drool over jessica alba outfitted in red boots and armed with golden lasso for 2 hours? how inconsiderate.

• when i announce to someone that i'm in a bad mood and explain why i'm in a bad mood and proceed to tell them that i don't want to hang out because i'm in a bad mood and then they ask, "are you ok?"

• when people lie to my face about having returned their library books or pretend they never signed them out in the first place. i know you haven't returned them, it's your handwriting on the circ card (yes, i work in a library that still uses circ cards and a date stamp), and i was the one who stamped the damn card for you when you took the book out in the first place! just admit you lost it.

• couples who wear matching outfits (like winter jackets or polar fleece). how fucking cute. even worse when they walk around the mall holding hands in their matching outfits.

• when people use the word "quality" without qualifying it. like when someone says, "we have quality people on staff here". don't they realize that means absolutely nothing?

• bad spelling/grammar overall. i absolutely understand typos (i'm as guilty as the next guy), the occasional word that a person might find difficult, and making up fun words for your own purposes (i.e., 'dullest') but i'm of the opinion that you should not be allowed to graduate from high school if you haven't mastered the appropriate usage of their, there, & they're. call me a snob or a grammar nazi or whatever (i'm ok with that), but you immediately lose credibility if you can't use these 3 words properly. but i guess if this was the rule i know plenty of people (in relatively powerful jobs actually) in their 30s and 40s who would still be in grade 12, but maybe that would be best for everyone.

• john mayer. irritates me to no end. (one day i will go into my whole "why john mayer is evil and must be stopped rant". i'd expand now but i'm hungry.)
