Pet Peeves

[Pig'sSaysAdios]

I was reading somewhere that some guys were playing football / soccer, and suddenly everything degenerated into madness and chases flew as hands were used and tackling and stuff happened. And that's how American football began.

But don't quote me on that.

I'd love for that to be true.

This shouldn't bother me as much as it does but, I hate it when somebody tells me to do something that i'm already about to do

People not reading. I don't even mean fiction, though of course nonreaders are doomed to mundanity...I mean, in a professional context. At my job, I encounter examples daily of some stupid error which could easily have been prevented by simply reading more closely. Yeah, I've said it before, and I'll keep yelling it!

Society, in general, has a very anti-book mentality anymore. Heck, I remember Kayne Pest hates books so much that when he wrote his autobiography and had it published, it was only 52 pages long - an egomaniac like him, you'd think his autobiography would be a never-ending story.

It is really sad that people seem to be reading a lot less these days. I guess the world has just become too distracting for some to be able to pick up a good book every so often.

There was a thread about this many years ago.

And Drtooth talks about how he hated reading back in school because he was forced to do boring assignments on books that didn't speak to him, yet enjoyed reading when he read stuff that interested him at his own pace. I admit to being the same way, especially once I got to the higher grades.

I'm kind of the same way, TBH. I find that the books I tend to read the most are biographies about people I admire: I finished Tom Bergeron's autobiography in like a week, and the Jim Henson biography Brian Jay Jones wrote in like a month and a half.

Laundry (and putting my clothes away)

Laundry doesn't bother me too much, but my back gets sore after sweeping for a while, which is why I'm seriously considering investing in one of those elephant brooms - that way, I don't have to make so much sweeping motions with my body in a sideways position.

I'm not too big on laundry honestly, but hey, at least you can clean the lint sieve, which for some reason I love doing.

I just like watching the laundry spin and rinse.

I find it very rude that you're all talking about me as if i'm not here!

I wasn't being rude at all. Was simply just talking about what I don't like to do.
