Day 18. 5 things that irritate ME about opposite/same sex

This blog challenge has read my mind today as there couldn't have been a better topic to write on. I'll start with the opposite sex (male as I am female). There aren't many boys who I talk to at school, and even if I do chat often with them, it's not enough for me to determine 5 things about them that irritate me. There is only one male person in the whole world that I can honestly judge, one who irritates me so much I want to slap him, and also one who I love the most. I think you can guess...it's my father.

I just got changed from coming out of the shower, and right before that, I had a small argument with him. You see, my mother threw some sort of important piece of paper in the bin today, and he got hell angry about it, swearing and all that nonsense. Usually I know not to disturb him when he is in a bad mood, but something must have happened today as I decided to remind him of a similar experience. Two years ago or so, my father threw away my piano exam form (which costs money) and blamed my mother for not keeping it safe. Well, same scenario today except this time my mother threw away his paper, and guess what? He blames her for throwing it away and defends that he kept the paper in a safe spot.

Back to my side of the story, I reminded him of this past "piano exam form" incident and tells me I should keep my mouth shut and called me a "bloody piece of shit". Great parenting example on his part, maybe I should go calling people pieces of shit if I don't get my way. No, actually I won't because swearing is probably the worst comeback anyone could ever think of and it simply spells out "SORE LOSER". Swearing doesn't make you the winner, more like the loser who knows he's lost. Clearly, he doesn't plan to make amends to the past and rather go on while people behind his back spread negative feedback regarding him. It's so sad that he is one of the smartest people I know, while at the same time, one of the dumbest when it comes to listening to people. Not to mention grumpy, I'm sure every time I see him, he seems to get grumpier and grumpier.

Like an exponential curve!

 Just label the "x" axis as time, and the "y" axis as level of grumpiness and voila! You have the "Douglas Fir's Law of her Grumpy Dad". Oh, and replace the 2 with 50...I swear he is going through MEN-O-PAUSE.

I'll just start with my list of things that irritate me about the same sex (female).

• They bitch about everything
• Fussy (I admit to be guilty of this)
• They get upset over trivial matters
• They create unattainable expectations regarding body shape/appearance and judge people on this system before even getting to know them
• They complain too much

Well, I haven't got much to say here...most likely partially due to the fact I'm biased as I am female. Girl power! I amaze myself by my own cheesiness sometimes. Tomorrow I'm starting my first math tuition for this year and contrary to popular belief, I am actually excited. Lack of work to do bores me so much over these school holidays that I hate to think about my retirement maybe 50 years later. However, talk to me in 10 weeks time and I'll say I want holidays! Life is so paradoxical sometimes. Gah, why are my posts so cynical these days? I promise tomorrow will be happy!



Goodbye fellow mortals.
