some things that annoy me
My mom is currently watching 'Mr Wrong." on T.V. downstairs. Words cannot describe how awful that movie is, but I'll try to give you some idea. It stars Ellen Degeneris (sp?) as an extremely awkward straight woman who meets a man at a diner when he plays her favorite song on the jukebox. They go on a date and have some awkward looking implied sex, and he reads her some very bad poetry which she says is beautiful. Every line in this movie is terribly cliched and stupid sounding. "Sometimes you have to trust in things you can't believe." for example. The point is that she doesn't realize that this guy is a terrible person, and even continues to date him after he forces her to shoplift beer from a convenience store, throws beer cans at random strangers, and introduces her to his terribly rude mother. It was actually painful to watch. The pick up line he used was, "Are you lonesome?" Seriously. Maybe my years of riding public transportation have made me paranoid, but the rule I follow is never trust a complete stranger, (especially of the opposite gender) who shows too much interest in you, especially if every word out of their mouth sounds like bullshit. Apparently this woman never rode the bus for any prolonged period of time, or she would probably not give that man the time of day. I had a man who I met at the bus station propose to me once. I turned him down of course. He smelled weird. That was about a year ago. I saw him again the other day. When he called out my name and asked if I remembered him I panicked and walked away as quickly as I could. Maybe that makes me a cold, unfeeling bitch or a hypocrite or way too paranoid, but that situation was terrifying.
