I am one of the lucky few who doesn’t suffer from PMS, though apparently I was unlucky today (damn St Patrick’s Day for lying to me!) and had it bad. Hence why we have another “Things That Pissed Me Off Today”!

1. That Time Of The Month. It sucks balls and all men should be eternally grateful that they do not have to go through with it. I really am pretty lucky where I don’t get PMS or cramps (except for today when I randomly got both) though I do get nasty migraines and bloat up like a water-logged corpse. I also hate how all girls, as much as they hate their periods, breathe a sigh of relief when we do get our periods because hallelujah we’re not pregnant! It’s awful and totally unfair and justifies us to be mean as hell to all males at that time of the month without repercussion!
2. Grocery shopping. OK so sometimes I really enjoy it but not when I am in a foul mood. It’s incredibly hard to try and buy practical things that will last you til your next shopping trip when you feeling like stabbing someone in the eye. You also find you’re absent-minded so that when you get home you forgot to buy some of the main things that drove you to go shopping in the first place. Also, the stuff you want is NEVER on sale when you’re in a bad mood and need to go shopping. INFURIATING!
3. The cow who made my lunch half the size it was last week. See, there’s a Farmers market right in the middle of the City every Wednesday and I discovered one stall that sells the most delicious (and totally bizarre) food – avocado and mushroom floats. I got one last week and almost died from food-lust so went back today and got about half as much as I did last week. Sure, I could have complained, but I am not the complaining type so I ate it (and admittedly, enjoyed the hell out of it) and then sulked a lot and ate lots of St Patty’s Day themed lollies to make up for it. Needless to see it wasn’t a great combination :S
4. People being to cool to dress in theme for festive days. I was appalled by how many people I saw walking around the City who made no effort to wear green for St Patrick’s Day today. Oh come on, it’s St Patrick’s Day, get over yourself and have some fun and get into the spirit of things like the dag you really are. I refuse to believe anyone when they say they have no green in their wardrobes whatsoever. Green is so common, and when its bright it looks fucking awesome, so everyone’s got something green tucked away somewhere, you damn liars! On the other hand I thoroughly enjoyed noticing what levels of green people wore today, some of it was over the top and in-your-face, some of it was sneaky and subtle :)
5. And now for the big one! The thing that pissed me off in particular today, as it has for pretty much ever, are over-opinionated arseholes. I am so sick of how so many people I know find it necessary to inflict their opinions on the rest of the world and be damned if you don’t agree. I consider myself a great person to be friends with because I don’t really give a damn if you don’t like all of the same things as me or want to do all of the things I enjoy doing. And yet all I ever see around me are people who have to open their fat traps about every damn thing like it’s their god given right to bad mouth anything they don’t like or agree with. Ya know what? No one gives a flying fuck! I don’t mind it when friends have a bit of a rant about something (god knows I love doing it myself, clearly) but when it’s constant and gets to the point where its like they have nothing good to say about anything (unless its one of the rare things that they happen to like), I could seriously start punching fists through skulls. Look here, if you’re the kind of person who has to be like that, learn some goddamn tact and shut your mouth for once. You don’t like that band or style of music I like? Hooray for you, but I don’t want to hear about how much you hate it and why it suck and have you be all in my face about it. You don’t like the things I happen to enjoy doing? Then don’t do those things and get the hell over it! Far out, it’s like it’s become fashionable to become a self-righteous fuck these days and it’s really gotten to me, as you can probably tell. There’s nothing wrong with keeping opinions to yourself, or at least saving them for the people who you know will agree with you. It ain’t your job to tell everyone how you think it is because a) you’re wrong, b) no one cares and c) it’s not funny or clever and it actually hurts/angers people. Next time, think about who you’re about to bitch and moan to and decide if it’s worth looking like an arsehole, because chances are that’s how you’re going to come across. And all for the sake of your over-inflated fucking ego.

OK well now I feel a bit better! Nothing like a bit of a whinge to get the chip off your shoulder, eh? Bare in mind, with that last one, I am referring to a broad range of people in my life, so if you’re reading this and think it’s about you, it is. But not just you, so suck it up and take my advice for once in your damn life and accept the fact you come across as an arsehole when you tell me the stuff I do, the things I like and the people I hang out with are all shit. That’s right, I’m talkin’ to YOU!
