SteamRollin'

Have you ever met one of those people who's personality is equivalent to a steamroller?  Maybe I should explain what I mean.  I belong to a club, there is a person that is constantly wanting to be in charge, so they "steamroll" over everyone else's ideas, suggestions, etc.  Are you trackin' now?  I have zero problem with a person who knows what they want, or is a "take charge" kind of person.  But, when you're a bossy-the-cow and have no follow through... it's annoying.  All talk, no action. 

And here I thought I was chilling out with my old age and being less annoyed.  Apparently not.  I've decided that I'd like to find out what annoys my readers... so, if you have something you'd like my "take" on, feel free to send me a message.

The Three Stooges

Some people need to avoid populating the gene pool. Tonight was a keen example of that fact.  There were three gentlemen (I use this term loosely) at my local watering hole.  Larry, Moe & Curly range in age: roughly 27, 40 and 65 respectively.  Well, the eldest man, "Curly" is a widower with an endless amount of cash and penchant for younger men with serious misogynistic tendencies.  "Moe" is the middle-aged man whose story is a little fuzzy.  And "Larry", well, he is the youngest of the trio and also the loudest-- or annoying, whichever word you choose will work just fine.

So, apparently today was "420" day.  A celebration of marijuana... well the trio must have celebrated A LOT.  They were bleary-eyed and stupid. They were concentrating the stupid with a side of beer to create a mess known as "morons that walk upright".  They were hooting and hollering at everything with tits.  

Look, I'm all about having a good time but this was ridiculous.  I imagine the display I witnessed was something akin to cave men who were bored on a Friday night with no animals to kill.  Seriously... high, drunken, moronic displays of manhood are not something in which one should aspire.  

Annoying.

"Daddy says I'm the Best"

Do you have that one friend who never stops talking?  I don't mean a "Chatty Cathy" ... I'm talking about the friend who is CONSTANTLY talking about how "great" they are?  Yep, that one.  

Good Lordy... today it was, "Everyone in the world loves me and wants me to be their love monkey; performing circus sex daily." Yes, I'm exaggerating but you get my point.  I sat and listened to that sort of nonsense for 1 hour and 47 minutes this evening!  Argh!  I This has become a daily occurrence and I can't seem to find the "off" switch!


I realize those readers who are in the mental health field are saying, "They are just insecure and speaking this way to validate their own existence."  I'm trackin'... but, it doesn't make it any less annoying.  After about 25 minutes, I start feeling like regardless of what I say, they've done it better, faster, longer and with more gusto than I ever could.  I was like-- I'm talkin' to Captain Freakin' America, I better show some respect!  

~~My sarcasm, it never sleeps.~~

So, to all of you who have a friend like that.  I find it best to just let them talk.  All you're gonna do, if you point it out, is crush whatever fragment of ego (if any) they still have.  Although, you could do what I'm doing... and that is slowly weening them off the friendship-- which is a bummer because they really are good people, sort of.
