Two more things that contribute to the inferno:
1. People who say “I was, like…..like……like”. Now I don’t mean people for whom English is a second language or people just learning it, but others who should have a proficient grasp of at least one language. I mean, if you are only going to speak one language, at least do it well. Whenever someone starts a sentence with “I was like….”, know that what they mean is “I was like a retard and I still am”….
2. Anything that gets in between me and sleep. I could cheerfully gas anyone who calls on the phone and wakes me up to chat about some banal matter. For that matter, anything that prevents me from getting a good night’s rest is instantly vilified. This wouldn’t normally bother me so much, but of late my “allergies” have been acting up, even though the doctor seesaws between deciding whether I have allergies or not. Until then, I’m blaming the mould in the house.
