Grrrr I am getting angry on your behalf. Let me 'at her...


You open a bag o chips discreetly. Take one out. Place it in your mouth. CLOSE your mouth and take care of it.

You don't rustle in there. Pick a chip or 5 and make sure you hold them 4 inches from yer face and lunge and snap at them quick as you can. crunch crunch mouth open while staring at your next bite.
Like a friggin turtle she is.

I actually laughed out loud at this. I picture some chick with glasses staring a chip down and lunging at it.....:rofl::rofl::rofl: The glasses sole purpose are too see the chips better.

That is what you say next time she does that. I would! :lol:

actually I feel bad for her at the thought of saying that!!! I can't believe this really happens.
LOL, you're young. You'll learn soon enough how annoying people can really be. Not youthful annoyances. REAL annoyances...

LOL Ignorance is bliss sometimes.

My own pet peeve are co-workers who have stopped listening to your complete ramble and are mentally working out their response based on your first sentence. You can see their wheels turning while you are speaking. Sometimes I'll even throw in something that makes no sense just to see if anyone is listening (they're not).
what? your pet peeve is co-workers you lost me. ;;D

I manage some people and things so I am probably the annoying one. However I hate people who eat with their mouth open. One guy eats an apple like he is making out with his first girlfriend when he he was 12. Every. Freaking. Day.
The nice thing about being a teacher is that I'm not constantly with my coworkers. I'm around some annoying kids, but that, I can deal with. :)

I do eat lunch with 3 or 4 other teachers, and one of those is THE STORYTELLER. She will start out a story (about her kids, her grandma, her dead dad, a student, growing up, her anniversary, her shopping expeditions--you name it) at the beginning of the lunch time and still be telling it as I'm leaving 25 minutes later. You're thinking, "But you did get to ask her some questions, or tell your thinking on the subject, or give some advice?"
No. I'm saying that she literally talks the whole time putting in every detail (dates and times...was it Thursday, no I think it was Friday), telling each character's back story, each word that was said.

I would like a little adult conversation during lunch, but I think this coming school year, I'll just eat by myself. She doesn't do it every day, but most days. Plus, she eats chips every day and it sounds like she's auditioning for a Pringle's commercial--mouth open wide, CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH. It makes me want to puke.

So what you're saying is that she's a real live Facebook post? ;-D

If I think someone isn't listening I will throw something random in there to see if they are listening, like 'so anyway, that is when I realised that I was never going to fit the whole banana in' then see what happens. A couple of people have called me on it then I have to come clean but most of the time it just goes by them.
