Little Annoyances


Arghh...don't you sometimes get pissed off by little things? Not the major stuff that get you to blow your top but the little annoyances that's enough to tick you off....They're like bad paper cuts instead of a stab with a knife...it stings but not enough to knock you out and it's just there.....Recently, there're just quite a lot but nah, it's not PMS......I've thought of some of my recent annoyances that have occurred recently....here they are:

  • Fish skin on my salmon sashimi. I HATE, ABSOLUTELY hate it when cuts of my sashimi comes with the skin...I find it super disgusting to see fish skin on sashimi and not only does it look a bit creepy with its dark bits, it tastes horrid with a disgusting texture too. Cos it's a bit fishier and the texture makes me feel like I'm biting into a house lizard. Not that I've ever tried but it's how I would imagine it to be....But when you're soooo looking forward to sinking your teeth into the sweet and yummy sashimi, you pick it up with your chopsticks, and alas! Skin!! What a wet blanket!
  • Hair color doesn't turn out the way you want it. Argh....you see, you don't die over it but then if you go to a salon to get your hair color, and the color doesn't come out the exact shade you want, it's quite a FML moment cos you might as well don't do it. It's a change yes but it's a pain in the ass. Two days ago, I went to a Japanese salon to get my hair color cos I thought they would be super precise with color since they're Japanese (if you look at Japanese hair magazines, you'll know they're sooooo particular). I specifically told them I want ASH brown. ASH brown and an ASH brown without any tinge of red and I told them specifically that my natural hair has a lot of red pigments and the brown always shows up a bit reddish....bam...NOT ash brown but the same red tinged brown....I don't like it!!!! Bwahhhh!
  • When your instant noodle is crushed. You open a pack of instant noodle or cup noodle and they're all shattered bits and pieces....how the hell are you gonna eat it properly? Eating shards of broken noodle bits somehow doesn't make me feel full....
  • Very long ATM queue....self explanatory, especially when the one in front keeps hogging the machine and switches cards a few times to use the machine. Makes me wanna slot the card up their butt crack instead to chase them away....
  • Soiled toilet bowl after a long queue...see, when you need to go, you need to go and after waiting in the long ladies' queue for like eternity, you walked into the cubicle with smeared of poo on the bowl.....*vomit*....you simply hold your breath, think of a faraway land and do your business....
  • The specific route you ask the cab driver to take ends up super jammed up and you end up paying a lot more....
  • You accidentally left your wallet at work or your credit card at the gym after paying...the former means you have no cash to buy food or take transport home and would set you in a panic frenzy asking for people to help or begging on the streets with a poster that says "Trying to go home. Left wallet at home. Please give me some $". Then latter means you'll panick and worry for days if the person who's supposed to safeguard your card would be doing internet purchase with your card instead...
  • Your blogshop purchase doesn't fit and they got the wrong order. Yes, I recently bought two dresses. One doesn't fit cos it's too small and the other one wasn't even what I ordered. Return it? I can't be bothered with the hassle! But it's still very annoying....
  • Waiting for an aunt who's perpetually late to come pick something up for mom.....what's the point of saying 9pm when she didn't show up until 10pm? WTF! I hate it when you're stuck waiting cos you can't really go do your own stuff like have a long shower cos I don't fancy running out of the shower in towels to open the door just to slip and fall cos my feet are wet...annoying...I am super duper anal about punctuality (with the exception of turning in work on time but otherwise I'm almost Nazi when it comes to being punctual...military precision almost)
I'm pretty sure I'm able to think of or experience more of the "paper cuts" in the next couple of weeks to come....hmmm.....

    What about people standing on both sides of the escalator instead of the left side! Argh I hate that.

    Also, someone whistling in train/ bus/ wherever.

    Or bad music in a taxi.

    Waiters that just don't see you when you wave your hand.

    And yes, this happened to me last week. You order decaf coffee and they serve you non-decaf and it kills you cos you have work the next day and u drank the coffee at 11pm.

    Hey Jess, I would really flip if I get non-decaf!!! I would die cos I tremble when I drink non-decaf coffee!!

    Oh another annoyance...smudging your freshly painted nails....
