Wednesday, April 04, 2007
not that I would ever try to annoy people on purpose, I just have a bad habit of doing it without realizing it :) I figure if I give the same ideas to everyone...then we all have the same advantage...or something!

1. Specify that your drive-through order is "to go."

2. Learn Morse code, and have conversations with friends in public consisting entirely of "Beeeep Bip Bip Beeep Bip..."

3. If you have a glass eye, tap on it occasionally with your pen while talking to others.

4. Speak only in a "robot" voice.

5. Push all the flat Lego pieces together tightly.

6. Start each meal by conspicuously licking all your food, and announce that this is so no one will "swipe your grub".

7. Leave the copy machine set to reduce 200%, extra dark, 17 inch paper, 98 copies.

8. Sniffle incessantly.

9. Leave your turn signal on for fifty miles.

10. Insist on keeping your car windshield wipers running in all weather conditions "to keep them tuned up."

11. Claim that you must always wear a bicycle helmet as part of your "astronaut training."

12. Declare your apartment an independent nation, and sue your neighbors upstairs for "violating your airspace".

13. Forget the punchline to a long joke, but assure the listener it was a "real hoot."

14. Follow a few paces behind someone, spraying everything they touch with Lysol.

15. Make beeping noises when a large person backs up.

17. Finish all your sentences with the words "in accordance with the prophesy."

25. Change channels five minutes before the end of every show.

26. Tape pieces of "Sweating to the Oldies" over climactic parts of rental movies.

27. Decline to be seated at a restaurant, and simply eat their complimentary mints by the cash register.
