Day 1 - Ten random facts about yourself
Day 2 - Nine things you do everyday
Day 3 - Eight things that annoy you
Day 4 - Seven fears/phobias
Day 5 - Six songs that you’re addicted to
Day 6 - Five things you can’t live without
Day 7 - Four memories you won’t forget
Day 8 - Three words you can’t go a day without
Day 9 - Two things you wish you could do
Day 10 - One person you can trust
This is going to be hard. It takes a lot for anything to annoy me. So, they're probably going to be petty shit.
1. People who scold people for not using the "right" tags. Look, I'm old. I've been writing online for eighteen years. We didn't "tag" anything but rape back then, maybe character death. Underage? Hell, I wrote Buffy fic in season 2--everyone but Angel, Giles, Jenny and Joyce was underage! You went by the pairing, rating, and summary to decide whether or not you'd read something. Do books "warn"? Hell no. I don't even think to tag half the stuff people might be triggered by.
2. Which leads me to...If your tag set and summary are longer than your fic, this is a problem. This frustrates me (I'm going with that as an annoyance.)
3. People who firmly believe their way to do anything/believe anything is the only right way. Learn to compromise.
4. People who don't use their turn signals.
5. The 'not me' people. You know, the ones who blame anything that goes wrong on everyone else, society, the government.
6. That our government has been hijacked by idiots who haven't even read the Constitution or understand how government works (or should work).
7. How every team plays better when they play the KU men's bball team. I mean, really--guy shoots 30% against everyone else all year and suddenly hits nine of ten shots against us? Especially egregious when the announcers spout out how poor this player is from the line and he hits two in a row and then two in a row and then on and on and on.
8. Censorship of anything. Exceptions being parents over their OWN kids and self. Stop telling me such and such book is bad. It's just going to make me want to read it more.
Oh look, that wasn't so hard after all.
