On My Last Nerve….
After what had to be the most aggravating week I’ve had in months, I decided to sit down and figure out my top 5 pet peeves. Since they say that once you admit you have a problem you can work on it, I figured that maybe if I identified what routinely pisses me off than I can work on not letting it bother me. So heeeeeeeeere we go….
5 – Bills that are due every 28days
This aggravation stems from a bad habit that I inherited from a person who will remain nameless J I do not open mail! I should probably just go ahead and go paperless because my mail will sit there in a pile for two weeks plus and I won’t open it until I know its due to see exactly how much it is. But the problem with bills that are due every 28 days as opposed to every 30days is they can sometimes be due 3 and 4 days before you think. So yo monkey ass thinking, ‘Oh I can just pay that when I get paid on Friday and keep my lil change….’ and by Friday yo damn policy is cancelled and shit or you got a 7$ late fee. So starting today…..I’m opening mail as soon as I get it.
4 – Beyonce Fans
I am not a fan of Beyonce. She cool and catchy but I’m a Mary J Blige and E. Badu kinda person so once I hit the age of about….21 I just couldn’t fuck with Beyonce anymore. But I don’t make that shit known on the regular like whenever her song come on I don’t act like I can’t bare to listen to it or whenever someone brings her up I chime in saying ‘I can’t stand that premium yaki wearing bitch…’ I am a respectable non-fan because at the end of the day, she has a song every once in a while that grows on my like ‘Put a Ring On It’ But Beyonce fans will attack you if you say ANYTHING that doesn’t idolize and glorify her name! I’m just waiting for the day when some idiot claims to have found her name in the bible or some shit because it’s just that bad! I’m sure generations before me had the same kinda arguments over OFFICIAL icons like Whitney and Janet but I’m not doing that shit. I will not engage in any conversation with you if when I don’t have the same point of view you do I’m every kinda ‘hater’ in the book.
3 – People who repeat things you tell them
I like to gossip. I’m very particular about things I choose to pass on and keep but for the most part, gossiping and talking shit is one of my favorite pass times. But say you have a group of like 5 friends and one of them is always doin, saying or involved in some dumb shit. So you talk to another person in crew about them and THEY go back to the dumb one like ‘I heard you did a,b and c…..’ ‘Who told you that?…’ ‘Oh, Season did….’ Why do people that shit? Is it not understood that when you get gossip about somebody you are NOT supposed to go to the person the gossip is about and talk about that shit like its common knowledge? Then you got the asshole who just talk loud as fuck. You be whispering and shit and this joker be like ‘Girl I can’t believe _____ did that, she is such a….’ Now everybody gonna know who we was talking about and wanna know what they did.
2 – Shirts that are too small
I can’t stand smedium shirts on myself or other people. I know this seems kinda high on the list but I cannot function in a shirt that’s too small. The ones that are too tight in the armpit and you spend half the day pulling it out your armpit so it can breathe and you’re pissed off all day cuz you know you shouldn’t have worn it. Then you got the shirts that ride up every time you breathe so you constantly pulling it down and fixing yourself. Its so unfortunate how cheap clothes are now a days and shrink after the first wash because I tend to only get one good wear out of a tshirt before its too small and I’ve thrown it on and ran out the house. Then if your shirt is too small I will not be able to concentrate on anything else while talking to you. If you have on one of the shirts like a baby doll shirt or criss cross shirt where there is a designated place for your boobs and its too small, please get away from my cubicle. I do not wanna see your boob suffering, getting cut in half and shit, that is too personal for me. And if you have a lil hangtime going on with your stomach, just make sure your shirt covers it up! I have a lil hangtime going myself sometimes and its drives me nuts when I have to pull my shirt down over it. But some people just let it be and let their glory hang free. That is not fair and NO I’m not doggin out fat people cuz skinny folks need to get their shit together too.
1 – It’s tie between flakes and people who lie to kick it.
My friends used to love and hate when I planned stuff because when I planned something they knew it was gonna go down without a hitch. This usually came in handy when it came to road trips and having a night of multiple stops. I would collect money in advance and everything, the whole nine. But if you flaked on me, it was hell to pay. I hated when folks flaked on me and my friends used to joke about how they were scared to tell me when they didn’t wanna do something I was planning. Now I can honestly say that it doesn’t ruin friendships anymore. I’ve lighted up a lot and when people flake now, I don’t say aaaaaanything to them. I just stop inviting their asses places. I guess I’m good at saying no so I don’t get the concept of signing up to do something and acting like you gonna do it up until its time to be done.
Now that leads me to people who lie to kick it. You don’t have to lie about this or that to be my friend. If I’m cool with you, its because I like you. I don’t care if you broke, wear the same clothes every day, sleep around, have roaches at yo house, didn’t go to or finish college, aint never been on a plane, or anything else you can imagine. And usually, people who lie just to be down end up being flakes! So if you just tell the truth about yourself someone might pick up a tab here and there or run a quick hot comb through your hair and give you a shirt to wear to the club. I’ll hook you up man and be your BFF.
