Pet Peeves
Nov. 21st, 2002 08:08 amApologies for being spammy, but I'm prolific today.
Two more I remembered, though neither of them are annoying enough to me to go so far as refuse a second date.
1) Fidgeting. A little fidgeting is ok or big fidgeting on occasion, but a person who constantly fidgets, especially if it leads to the kicking of the back of my theater seat or the shaking of the couch, drives me batty.
2) Ashing. Yeah, you read it right. People who don't ash their cigarette. Don't ask me why. It makes me nuts. Last time I made the mistake of mentioning this, my friend sat there and smoked a whole cigarette without ashing once. By the end of it, he had to gently lift his hand in the air and smoke from underneath, cranking his neck. I tried so hard so hard not to twitch. That's what I get.
Of course, we laughed about it when I finally got a good smack at his hand and the ash poofed everywhere.
