Annoying things that I do....Number 4

I just can't stop ....I have to push the envelope. I always have to say things that gross people out. I'll be telling a story and when I get a great reaction of disgust, I just can't let it go. I have to say that one extra thing. Certain people have gag reflexes too. They know who they are. I've probably made them tell me to stop ,several dozen times, as I am nearing the end of a story. Shoot, sometimes I'm not even near the end. It must take a lot more to gross me out or something. Half the time, I'm just commenting on something we are witnessing and BOOM, I have to say something gross. Why do I do that? It's really great when the gross thing works into a phrase that I can use again and again. Like when I tell people to be careful or they may have a "Wal-Mart moment"...hehehe, I bet Raine just had to stop reading this for a minute. I won't go into that story, don't worry. Though if you want to know...you'll have to Instant Message me about it. However, its better when you hear it told, reading about it doesn't have the same effect.
You would think that I would be more sensitive about it. I mean, I can't even watch one of those Jackass Movies without gagging at least twice. I also can't stand anything to do with eyeballs. Ewwww....I don't even want to talk about that. Ewww, Ewww, Ewww!
I think it comes down to my ability to provide very vivid mental images. You also have to be creative in your wording. Its the joining of two things in to one discusting image. ie: a yeast infection...bread rising by your crotch. See, its pretty gross. Just think about that the next time you make a sandwich. Well, now that I have left you with that...I'm off to crochet.

Annoying things that I do...number 3

I'll date your dust. Yep, if you have a nice china cabinet that you always forget to dust, at some point I have opened it up while you were out of the room...and later you will discover that I have written that days date in the dust. I don't tell you about it, of course. It's fun to wait to see if it is still there the next time I visit. If it is, I will leave it and write the current date under it. It really works great on dark wood. People just love it when I do that...LOVE IT! Oh, it doesn't have to be a china cabinet...it can be anything really. However, I do NOT write "wash me" in the dirt on your car...I'm always afraid it will scratch the finish. Nope, I leave that to other people. I mainly stick to things in the house. I used to just write things like,"Hi!" but its more shocking when you see the date(s) and realize how long its been since you dusted there.

Don't kid yourself, it doesn't take much dust to leave a date behind. Shoot, in the spring when we have the windows open a lot, I could date our dust in just a couple of days. Lucky for me...I managed to sweep it away before some annoying person like myself, comes along to wreck havoc. Well, I'm off to dust my bedroom. The top shelves REALLY need a once over...make that a twice over.

Annoying things that I do...Number 2

This doesn't really bother me...but it drives everyone else nuts.

Some people think that I never tie my shoes. I do. I really do. It's just that they come untied. I know what you are thinking. Netter doesn't tie her shoes correctly. Well, that isn't true. I do, they just come untied. I think its worse when you have those round shoelaces. The flat kind stay tied longer. Anyway, I am constantly being told that my lace is untied. I don't find it annoying...its just part of the deal. Actually, if I had a buck for every time some old lady told me about my dragging laces... I'd be rich!

The funniest part is that everyone thinks that I will trip and break my neck. I think the odds are in my favor. Seriously! I can count on one hand the number of times I have tripped on my laces. I think it has something to do with the way I walk. I take long strides so my feet never step down near each other, unless I am walking with someone slooooow. That about kills me though. I once spent an entire day with a slow walker and realized that there are only so many hours that I can take baby steps before I want to throw myself in front of a taxi or a bus. Oh, its one thing when you have a kid with you or an elderly person...but not someone only a few years older than me.

Annoying things that I do...Number 1:

I'm not sure what this is all about. Get this...

I have a strange habit of holding the **Shift** key down longer than I mean to. Yeah, I end up with two capital letters on the front of most of my sentences. Its really bad when I type peoples names....first names more so than last names. For example, if I am typing my name...I do this:

ANnette......or this....NEtter....but it applies for every ones name. I also begin sentences that start with more than one letter with double capitals, like this: STop hitting your Sister! or CAts are so soft.

I spend so much time backspacing or inserting the correct lower case letter. Oh well, it could be worse. I could WRITE ENTIRELY IN CAPITAL LETTERS. THAT WOULD BE EVEN MORE ANNOYING.

**- I accidentally wrote that I hit the cap lock key, but Kare pointed out that I should hit the shift key instead and that is when I realized that I DO...lol, oops, I didn't catch that.
