These are a few of my LEAST favorite things

Before you proceed, let me go ahead and answer a couple of questions about this blog.

Q: Will this blog offend me?
A: Sure it might. Most things I say or write often offend people. Fair warning.

Q: Will I agree with all of the things Jessica is annoyed by?
A: No, of course you won’t. But for the purpose of this blog- your opinion will be wrong.

Q: Can I post things that I find annoying in the comments section of this blog?
A: YES! Please do. I would love to hear the things that bother you as long as they don’t conflict with any of the things that bother me. That would be really annoying.

Ok- there will probably be a part 2,3,4... to this blog. Just sharing a few with you today.


# 1- People who say “I hate drama!” I don’t find this annoying because I like drama, it is really because the people who make this statement are ALWAYS the people who are creating the drama!

# 2- People who don’t discipline their children. Let me give an example on this one. I was in the grocery store one day and this kid (about 2 1/2 yrs old) was going CRAZY in the shopping cart. He is hitting his dad, screaming in his face- total flip out.  I am minding my own business trying to buy some meat when I hear the dad saying,  “ I can tell by how you are acting, you are in a bad place. I will wait until you are ready to use your words so we can talk about this.”  Uhhhh, what?? The kid of course, not ready to use his words, continued the madness for another couple of minutes. After realizing that I had been staring at the same package of chicken for a while because I could not even focus, I leaned over and said “Hey, it’s really cool that you want him to use his words and all, but for the sake of everyone involved- can he use his words outside?” The dad looked at me like I was crazy, and for a split second I thought I may have gone too far this time- until the lady next to me leans over and says with relief “Thank you sooo much!” Everyones style is different, I get that- but please discipline your kids in a way that it does not put a damper on me shopping, eating, getting my hair done- whatever!

# 3- When someone says “I don’t mean this in a bad way...” And then say the rudest crap ever. Seriously, the only way you mean it - is in a bad way when you start a sentence out like that. If you want to say it- then say it. Embrace the mean person that you actually are. OR write what you are thinking on Twitter. Use the # sign and then don’t put any spaces between your letters. Then you can say whatever you want and it’s not even rude anymore- in fact, it is a trend. #ithinkyoulookfatinthatskirt   Oh and add a : ) that makes it totally acceptable.
