Random lunchy musings

Question: is it better to be an annoying person or someone who is constantly annoyed by other people?

Another question: what kind of drunk are you?  Big licky dog?  Scary strident person? Sleepy waste of space? Sex pest? Something else?  (I fear I may be a cross between licky dog and scary strident...)

Smugness award: this week goes to the fiendishly clever Derren Brown.

Badness award: this week goes to Bentalls, which masquerades as one big department store but then makes you queue at 4 separate (cunningly hidden) tills when you want to pay.  I can only assume they are doing it for sport, in the hope that we will all pop like fembots.

Sleb BB update:

I have dropped the ball on this a bit.  It turns out the foul one that I keep calling Lisa is actually called Tina.  I should prolly pay better attention... on second thoughts I really shouldn't.  Last night I caught 5 woozy mins on 'BB's Big Mouth' and was just in tim,e to hear her waxing lyrical about how she'd like to lose some weight off her "fanny"... and not in the American sense.  (Er, wtf?)

This, followed by the unexpected vision of Jodie Marsh commentating almost gave me nightmares...  (is it even human any more?)

I reckon Ulrika is toast.  She's been nominated again and surely won't escape eviction twice.  Terrible shame though cos she could go postal at any time.  Even squeaky little La Toya is scared of "the hatred in her eyes".  The girl from Liberty X NEVER stops crying (meh).  Coolio is not only annoying, he's also a terrible bully, but will no doubt make it to the top 3 cos he's quite funny, which is what counts on BB/

Thank god it only lasts 3 weeks...
 

Oh feck, I've just remembered something.  I had a lovely evening last night with my friend Madeline (winolj) where we both ordered sparrow-sized salady snackettes and felt all smug.  Then G came home with fish and chips and I ate all the chips... um, and some of the fish.

Annoying people don't generally know they are annoying, so unless one is also constantly annoyed by other people it is probably better to be the annoying person.

I am the sort of drunk who believes they can do the following things brilliantly: singing, and speaking French. If I start singing in French, someone should probably call an ambulance.

"Annoying people don't generally know they are annoying..."
Yes, I was coming round to that thought too... def better to be the annoying person.

"I am the sort of drunk who believes they can do the following things brilliantly: singing, and speaking French."
Heh... I should have added a category for drunken hubris... a very common side effect :-)

The exception is the insecure annoying person, who probably wouldn't be annoying at all if they didn't believe they were, and make a nuisance of themselves by apologising constantly for being there.

Yes indeed - securely, blissfully annoying is the way to go.

People who are constantly annoyed by other people (or things) are, i suppose, permanently in bad moods. People who annoy people only have tolerant friends. So it's definitely better to be annoying than annoyed, I would say.

I think I'm a rather cheery drunk; I just think everything's lovely and ace, on the whole. Every now and then I turn into a morose drunk, but then I just go home and be miserable on my own instead of weeping _on_ people.

"People who are constantly annoyed by other people (or things) are, i suppose, permanently in bad moods"
Yes... and to compound matters they may well die of stress-related illnesses, while the annoying people get off scott free.

"I think I'm a rather cheery drunk; I just think everything's lovely and ace, on the whole."
Cheery drunks are the best, by far. (I suppose unless they're also annoying, in which case they're probably adding to the morose drunkenness of those around them)

Actually it's just occurred to me that people who are constantly annoyed by others are, themselves, quite annoying to be around. (Unless they keep it to themselves, that is.)

People like that don't, though do they.

Or do they ;-)

[the-meanest-cat.livejournal.com]

No they don't... (even the quiet ones rant about it on LJ!)
:-p

As long as they're just for knitting!
