Monday Little Annoyances

So it’s Monday, which I think is the perfect time to discuss those minor annoyances. Let ’em rip here.

Here are a few of mine:

1) Skirts and pants without properly defined waists. I’m pretty slim, but I’ve got big Italian, child-bearing hips. Ergo, waist. ergo, all of my clothes have this…. gap around my waist which totally ruins the line of my outfits. I was trying to wear this new skirt the other day, and when I put on a tank top over it, the waistline bunched up and bulged out like I had some sort of saucer sticking out of my side. So annoying.

2) There’s a new trend on blogs and whatnot to purposefully misspell the word “the” as “teh” in order to denote emphasis… ironically. Not quite sure what the point is, but I think it’s full of “teh pretentiousness.” Plus, it makes life very dificult for me, because, as I think you all know, I mis-type the ALL THE TIME. Teh, hte, you name it. I also mis-type because as becuase and it’s as ti’s and and as adn and about a thousand others. I am really not in the mood to have my typos mocked by cyber-hipsters.

3) Books with little fonts and/or little margins. I just bought this book that everyone has been raving about and it’s 464 pages and nice and fat but then I open it and I see that the font is all cramped. There’s very little white space between the lines, if that makes sense. And small margins. Anyway, it’s hard to read, and I’m looking at it with this sinking feeling in my gut, because I know that even if this book is as worth it as they say, it’s going to be very difficult for me to read.

4. When you put your iPod on manual update and then think you’ve updated all the new songs on teh CD (damn, there I go, you see?) you just imported and then learn that you only did the first song on the album and now you have to wait until you get home tonight to listen to the
song that was the reason you imported the album in the first place!

So those are mine. Anyone else feel like sharing?
