Reason for this whole post is not because of the articles in the bathroom (I really like those!), but most recently, while reading this month's little stall door article, I got "clentch-my-teeth" mad! Why? A really dumb and silly reason, such as not liking when articles tell me how to feel or how I'm reacting to their article. All I know is I was seeing the world in red after I left the room. Ok, so maybe not that mad, but I was slightly peeved.
Here is the article in question: http://www.laughitout.com/2010/01/you-know-you-are-living-2010-when.html
After reading this article I bet you were laughing yourself silly.
You are posting this article on Facebook right now!
You called your friend to tell her how much you are laughing at this story.
See. Isn't that annoying?! I'm not sure about you, but I REALLY hate when articles I'm reading are telling me what I'm doing! Please read on to see what was going on in my head.
12. You're reading this and nodding and laughing. [No I'm not. In fact I think this list is kind of pointless.]
13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message. [Yes, my blog to make fun of it. Or the trash can... it's a toss up.]
14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list. [Actually, this one is right. I didn't notice, but really, who wants to count the number of lines on a list, let alone be called out on paper for doing it... I sure don't. Thanks for making me feel like crap list.]
15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list. [That I did, because I thought the list would be lying to me, and then the number after this was, "HAHA we totally tricked you! There is a #9, you are so gullible!" I was preparing myself for the shame.]
~~~~~AND FINALLY~~~~~ [You know those '~' symbols represent something mathematically, even if it is "rough estimate, poorly approximated." Please respect their origins and don't use them to accent your text. That's what bolding and italics are for. See: this blog post.]
NOW U R LAUGHING AT YOURSELF! [This is the part that really got me. A) Don't tell me what I'm laughing at, especially if it's at myself! B) Can you please spell out the words "you" and "are." Your list just lost whatever credibility it had left by using "text speak" in a post. I'm all for abbreviations, but I really hate when people don't write full sentences when they are using a word editor. To me, Twitter and speed texting is one of the only places to use "u" for "you" and "r" for "are"]
Is it just me or does anyone else feel this way? Of course, it's just some random article on a bathroom wall, but every time I see it I want to take it down! This is the smallest thing in the world - and I shouldn't let it bother me, so instead, I wrote this post to allow the article to bother YOU! Hooray!
Lots of love and pieces of chocolate,
Me
