minor annoyance number what am I at now

Wanna know something that really annoys me to no end. I might get some flack for this but I'm gonna say it anyways. Sometimes I get incredibly annoyed with young couples walking together hand in hand in public. It's not because I'm against any sign of PDA whatsoever. It's because when they're walking together regardless whether they're Canadians, Foreign students, whatever...there is this in common. When they notice that there is another pair or group of people walking towards them coming from the other direction, the most common reaction is to look at the people they're walking into awkwardly, and then move around them. The fact that they're not separating or unwilling to temporarily withdraw their Kung-Fu hand holding grip is an inconvenience to everybody around them.

Why is this on my mind. There was a young couple walking around the Metrotown location of The Real Canadian Superstore that walked up to me and my mom the other day that grudgingly moved around us in exactly the way that I described above. The thing that really pissed me off about them though is that they were seemingly just strolling around a busy grocery store for no other reason than the fact that they wanted to. Who the fuck does that?

It's behavior like that, that appears only once people are coupled up that really makes me think "why would I ever desire or excuse myself for acting like that with somebody?", other times I'm thinking "why would I ever want to put up with somebody else's problems when I can barely tolerate my own?" The rest of the time I rationalize that "somebody should make me take notice because of how she inherently is and that I'll find that quality irresistable"

where am I going with this, I don't know. I guess it's mostly that more often than not that people that are in relationships seem absolutely irrational when they're together and develop strong biases that will in some way or another negatively impact their other familial relationships and friendships. Of course, the up side is that the person that's seeing the person you're more directly related to could be really cool. It's the negative impact on the social status quo that's problematic.

Never mind. This probably all just sounds like I'm talking random bullshit of little consequence. I likely sound bitter as a bitter melon or maybe just Caaaaaraaaaaazy Taxi! Hope you're all having a good time. I just returned 3 hours ago from the Beach named Spanish Banks yet again. Gotta love Summer. All you Southern Hemisphere residents, Getcha Snowboarding in or I'll be really annoyed with you next.

  1. I LOVE LOVE LOVE BITTERMELLON! It's so yummy when my mom makes it!

    As for PDA. I'm not sure. I'm a bit for, a bit against. But the not separating thing is a bit much.. Ah, but there's something about being half of a couple that's... it makes you do really crazy stuff XD

    Summer up there -i'm so envious!
