Things That Bug Me

OK, WE ALL KNOW THIS ONE PERSON


You know the one that forwards every email to you (and about 1000 other people). It has always been forwarded sooooooo many times that you can't even find the original message. Once you do find it, you have like 15 different windows open.

I used to look at them. Of course, I didn't believe too many of them. They are usually the urban legend emails (like the cookie recipe one). Sometimes I would get distracted by looking to see who else got the email. Now I just delete them.

Good thing they come with the paperclip thingy to make spotting them so much easier.

THE WORST QUESTION YOU CAN BE ASKED


"Don't you remember who I am?" OMG, your mind goes blank for a few seconds. Then it starts racing to figure out who this person is. You're thinking of all the people you ever met when you were drunk, in college, etc. Still you can't remember. Think, think, think.

Then the person gives you a hint. "We went to middle school together." Gee, that narrows it down to about.....1000 people. Most of them you didn't like anyway. It was probably the worst years of your life. Think, think, think.

Then you either realize who it is (or they finally tell you). Sometimes you actually remember them. Other times you just say "Oh yeah, now I remember." even though you still have no clue who they are. You BS for a few minutes then head on your way. Then you wonder how (or why) they remembered you in the first place.

Think, think, think.
