Oh, so you wanted to make me mad...

Things that irk me to NO END:

1. When someone assumes/infers/makes a comment about me being high maintenance or prissy. I will readily admit that I CAN be those things. I'm WAY more high maintenance in terms of non-physical things...and I'll admit that, too. I suppose we all create our own definition of "high maintenance" and I dont feel like showering and makeup is really that significant. Whatever.

2. When someone assumes something about me or puts words in my mouth. There is NO quicker way to set me off. I'm a career communicator so I give a lot of weight to what I'm communicating-verbally and non-verbally.

3. When someone is condescending or patronizing. I am the QUEEN of doing this in arguments.. I know that. But, maybe that's b/c it drives me so insane. I leave the realm of 'healthy discussion' and enter 'go eff yourself' when someone does this.. haha..

4. When I'm dealing with someone who assumes there is only one way to do things. I try to value what others bring to the table...their strengths. Just b/c two people head into a situation in two different ways doesnt make one way wrong.

I need to go to the gym more.

You know what else irks me? My trip to the MAC counter yesterday:
Me: "I need a lipglass..with color.."
Her: "Okay, here are some new ones with glitter!"
Me: "Um.. alright. But I dont really need glitter.."
Her: "Just try it....Oh that looks so good!!"
Me: "I look like little miss makeup."
Her: "Okay, here's a sheer gloss."
Me: "I need color."
Her: "Okay, this one has glitter and color."

Really? REALLY?

I had that experience.
At a MAC Counter.
In Germany.
With a lady that barely spoke English.
So I switched to Germany.
Life got easier.

But still. REALLY? Was she listening to you at all? I have a whole list of things that annoy me. Like 100s of things. LOL!
