Gettin’ Personal

It takes a lot to drive me up a wall, but there are at least 5 things that do. The hard thing is that some of the things are stuff that I find adorable! So it makes it very hard to be mad for too long.

1. When my cat wakes me up at 4 AM. My kitten insists on waking me up at odd intervals at night. It is even tougher because I sleep on a matress on the floor so she always has access to my face. She’ll meow in my ear, lick my face, and bump her cute furry head into mine. It gets me cranky but her loud purrs take the edge off. I wouldn’t be so annoyed if it was because she needed something but when I get up to check, her food bowl is full, her water bowl is full, and her litter box is clean!
2. When my cat goes nuts for no apparent reason. My cat has a crazy session every evening where she will run around, and jump on everything. Which sucks because I usually wear shorts in the evenings and she’ll jump on my leg which results in her claws sinking into my flesh. I don’t believe in declawing, but her appointment at the grooming center keeps getting postponed! I bought softclaws but I need to wait until she gets her nails trimmed.
3. When my boyfriend insists on eating dairy products even though he is lactose-intolerant! One word: P.U!
4. When people talk while other people are giving a presentation or anything similar. In college, people would always be yakking while a group/person was trying to give a presentation or ask the professor a question. I find it disrespectful and it drives me nuts! I have also experienced this at work, during the training sessions.
5. The long wait when contacting customer service by phone! I especially hate it when it makes you go through hoops to contact someone and in the end you only had to press 0! Say it on the first menu, for pete’s sake!
