So, since I’m naturally an over critical person, it’s easy to see how a lot of things annoy me. I personally don’t think any of them are out of order, but I can see how some of them wouldn’t be a big deal to other people. With that said, today is an especially annoying day. I am at the airport waiting for my flight to Las Vegas. So far, sound pretty good, right? What could I possible have to complain about, you ask? Well, my flight was suppposed to leave at 11:10am to arrive in Las Vegas around 1:30. It is now 12:30 and our plane still hasn’t gotten here. Normally, this would bug me so much, except that I’m going to Las Vegas on a business trip and am only going to be there for about 30 hours total. I’ll admit, so far, this isn’t too much to get me going. It’s all the people that I have been sitting here with for three hours waiting for our flight. I swear, every time I fly anywhere, there are always the same annoying people. Let me break it down:
Annoying Person #1 – THE SUPER POPULAR GIRL – she’s taking a flight to see her friends in another town, but has to say good-by to all of her friends back home first. On her cell phone. Loudly. So everyone one can hear all the friends she has, and how much she’s going to miss them and they are going to miss her. And, awww, that’s so sweet, I’ll only be gone a few days! That’s fine, we get it. You have a ton of friends, and you’re going to miss them. But do you have to talk so loudly? I’m trying not to listen, but it’s hard when you are going on and on about Brittany’s ex-boyfriend who cheated on her with that slut, Karen and now Brittany can’t stop crying. And how much of a douche Kevin is because he wears this necklace that looks like a belly button. What? Oh, and did I mention that she’s wearing a tank top (it’s 40 deg. out) and a trucker hat?
Annoying Person #2 – THE SUPER FRIENDLY/LONELY MIDDLE AGED LADY – she’s super nice. SUPER nice. But she can’t stop talking to you about how the fight is delayed and how she hopes she can get to Tucson on time. She says it over and over again, with a nervous laugh every time. And you don’t know what to say because you just want to get to Vegas. Then, as friendly as she is, she wants to know what you’re looking at on your laptop. Or what you’re working on. Or if you can check the flight status for the 10th time. How do you tell her that you’re blogging about how annoying she is?
Annoying Person #3 – THE COMPLETELY UNAWARE OF OTHER PEOPLE LADY – I’m sure you all know this one. Sometimes it’s a lady, sometimes it’s a man. Sometimes it’s an entire family. That’s the worst. These are the people who are walking down a crowded walkway and then, just stop. And look around like they are lost. Like there isn’t just one way to walk. Then all the people behind them have to stop. It’s great. And it’s usually when you need to be somewhere, fast.
Annoying Person #4 – THE I’M TOO CUTE TO HAVE TO WAIT GIRL – she’s dressed in five inch heels and booty shorts to take a flight. She’s probably going to visit her boyfriend. And when the flight is delayed, it’s a personal insult to her. She doesn’t understand why, because SHE needs to be in Las Vegas ASAP. She tries to cut in the front of the line to talk to the attendant to see how long the delay is (even though they just announced it). Then she spends a lot of time sighing really loud so everyone can see how distressed she is.
There are a few more, but I’ll stop before I become THE ANNOYING JUDGEY GIRL IN THE CORNER.
