the sound makes me cringe. there are lots of things that make me cringe. let’s list some of the ones that came up today.
1. when people tell me they’ll be half an hour and i end up waiting an hour and a half
(although i’m not one to talk. i do it all the time)
2. bitchy people on public transit who get mad at the fact that they have to make physical contact with strangers when it’s crowded. DEAL WITH IT.
(i was once forced to stand right in front of the doors of a train and as everybody was getting out, i mentioned the fact that i was unintentionally blocking everyone’s way. some lady making an exit blurted out ‘yes, yes you are,’ in the most condescending and irritated tone she could muster. thanks for stating the obvious, as i totally wasn’t already aware and hadn’t just apologetically mentioned it. I’M SORRY FOR DELAYING YOUR EXIT BY TWO FIFTHS OF A SECOND)
3. people who feel entitled to act obnoxious on subway cars when they’re in large groups.
(don’t effing take up four seats with your huge ass and legs. and if you’re going to talk really loud, can you try to make sure you don’t come across as a huge idiot? [again, i am also guilty of this one sometimes. hypocrisy makes the world go round])
4. large groups of people who think they’re intimidating.
(just because you dress in over-sized clothing, stand around aimlessly and glare at me doesn’t mean i’m going to fear you. also, mocking my friends for stupid reasons make you look like you have a stupid sense of humour)
5. indifference.
(especially when i care so much and you don’t give a shit about me at all. this one’s directed to a specific person. let’s never mention it again.)
