Back in August I did the first entry of a “30-Day Blog Challenge” list that I had found on the web. This is number two: 5 things that irritate you about the opposite sex / same sex. I’m actually going to shorthand this one a bit since I had a hard time coming up with five reasons overall. Maybe I’ll append some later as they happen, but here’s what I’ve got.
I’ll start with the opposite sex.
1) Their ability to hate other women for either no particular reason, or a small, inconsequential reason. I understand that sometimes we’re just irked by people for whatever reason, sometimes ones we don’t even understand. But women just seem to take this to another level sometimes. Be it jealousy in denial to stealing their high school boyfriend, it just causes drama and it can be real aggravating.
2) The all-too-cliche overly emotional and dramatic. Perhaps a root cause to number one, women have a superpower to manipulate a situation in their head into something far more substantial than it likely needs to be.
3) Combo answer: dishonesty and/or silence. I’ve seen women who hate each other pretend to be BFFs in each others’ presence. I’ve also experienced women who claim to be “fine” go berserk in frustration just minutes later. Quit being in denial or letting things go, because that tumor in your head is going to give you headaches (heh) later on. It’s not worth it.
And I’ve got only one real big one with guys…
Douchebags. Those cliche, muscle-bound, gel-slicked hair, Jersey Shore air heads. Dumb as hell, jerks to women, confrontational drunks, giving normal guys a bad name. I’ve got a perfect story about two retards who challenged me and a friend to fight them at a local bar because my friend innocently called one of their girlfriends pretty on Facebook. Yeah, exactly.
