That irritates me...

DISCLAIMER: I have been wanting to write one of these for a VERY long time. I've been making this list for a while, so it may seem like I'm having a really really crappy day and venting a lot of steam.
In reality, this post is making me feel a lot better. I'm getting it out so I don't flip when someone does one of these things next.
Don't get insulted or hurt, please. I'm mostly doing this to get it out of my head.

1. When people can't say my home state properly. It's said Ar-ken-saw. not ar-Can-zus.

I have tolerated it for a long time. I would tell people at dances I'm from Arkansas and they would say, oh, you're from arCANzus? wow. You don't sound witty, instead, you're insulting my favorite place in the country.

Arkansas was made a state on June 15th, 1836. Kansas was made a state on January 29th, 1861. So. Arkansas was first, therefore, Kansas should probably be said Kensaw!! haha That would be awesome.

So...Yes, it bugs me.

No, I'm not mad if you said it to tease me when we had first met, but if you do it again, you're not so smart, are you?

2. When I comment on something on Facebook and I say something witty, go ahead and like it. If I say happy birthday, liking it is just the same.

But when it's something like a compliment, me saying I'm jealous, I'm telling you I miss you and can't wait to see you, or even a not-so-happy thing, liking it makes me irritated. Liking it makes no sense. If I say "I miss you and can't wait to see you" and you like it, what are you saying? "I like that you miss me."

Like I said, it makes no sense.

3. Whn ppl dnt use vwls.

Oh my goodness, that was difficult!! It took me twice as long. Is it cool? Is it easy? I'm completely baffled.

4. When people take my parking space. Yes, it's on the street, but you have your own parking space half a block up. This is mine!!! I get over it rather quickly, but it bugs me when I'm coming home and want to park in my spot and someone from the next door apartments who have their own parking lot is parked in front of my house.

5. you're and your, their there and they're, to too and two. Yes, we make mistakes, but sometimes people are just careless.

6. When people laugh at my husband. Yes, he likes being laughed at when he is being silly, but if you're laughing at his expense, you're treading on thin ice with a protective wife.

7. Here's something that makes no sense. The creepy Elf on a Shelf. He's creepy. Why is everyone decorating their house with him?


Well, that feels better. I hope if you felt like I was talking to you that you didn't get insulted. I'm just ranting. And it's out now. Feel free to tell me how you feel about these things if you disagree. I put it up, I should take the responses. :)
