so back when erin was in hawaii, i wrote a guest post for her on her blog keep calm & sparkle entitled 7 more things it'd be awesome if people stopped doing. since work is a bit crazy this week, i decided to just share it all again with you here. sure it might be a tad lazy but it's certainly efficient. don't worry, tomorrow i have all new content for you - my go to hangover cures. you know you want that!
as a follow up to this 6 Things post - 7 More Things It'd Be Awesome If People Stopped Doing
-----------------------------------
1. Abusing grocery store lines. You and I both know you have to many things in that cart to be in the 10 Items or Less line. Get out of my line!!
2. Rummaging for correct change. If it's taking you more than 30 seconds to find and count it, I'm really not interested. Hurry it up here.
3. Putting automatically starting music on websites. Do you have any idea how many tabs I have open at once and therefore how long it takes to figure out which one is playing the music? Stop it.
4. Licking fingers to turn a page. Gross. Gross gross gross, that's so dirty I can't even stand it. I will go nowhere near those papers now, thanks.
5. #justsayin = #justunfollowed.
6. walking hand in hand and refusing to move over when I try to pass you on the sidewalk. I'm about to run through your hands screaming 'red rover', see how you like it then.
7. pushing the glass instead of the handle. yes, door handles are nasty (feel free to refer to monday's post to see why), but just use your arm or wash your hands. stop putting your nasty fingerprints all over freshly cleaned glass.

I zoned out on the Panda gif for a solid 3 minutes.
ReplyDeleteYour gifs are fantastic. I admit I am a reformed page licker - being that I pass out papers all day to germ infested children that touch me all the time I felt like it all evened out in the wash. But after this past flu season I made an effort to stop licking the papers. I even found this "take hold" stuff you can rub on your fingers instead of licking them. Glad I'm no longer offensive - at least in this sense :)
ReplyDeleteHaha that clip of the panda. I watched it several times :)
ReplyDeleteAll of them, yes.
ReplyDeleteHaha love the panda gif and this list!
ReplyDeleteBahaha I love this list. The music on the webpage is a HUGE pet peeve of mine. No one wants your shitty taste in music auto-playing all the time, people!
ReplyDeleteYes yes yes yes yes.
ReplyDeleteNumber three - YES TO INFINITY.
red rover hahahah do it!!! and try to film it so I can laugh at it!!
ReplyDeletegrocery lines in general suck ass. i never pick the right lane, assuming there even is such a thing!
ReplyDeleteThis is still one of my favorite posts. I just love it. #justsaying
ReplyDeletehaha kidding.. maybe.
But that panda GIF kills me.
The grocery lines. Ohhhh my hell this is SO true. I swear I get stuck in the slow line 100% of the time.
ReplyDeleteNumber six. Yes. I would love to see you play Red Rover!
ReplyDeleteI always apologize when I have even 1 more than the allowed item amount. They usually role their eyes at me, but still. I feel guilty. I don't lick anything. I'm not a germaphobe, but I'm definitely aware that others are disgustingly germy.
ReplyDeleteI literally laughed out loud for that panda bear clip!
ReplyDeleteahhh the automatically starting music thing drives me CRAZY! especially at work.
ReplyDeleteHaha! I am with you on 1 & 3! I'm also completely guilty of the just sayin one!
ReplyDeleteI feel like people who don't operate in a city environment don't fully get the door touching thing. I have become super conscious of all surfaces since working in Center City five years ago. When I used to work in the suburbs, I was touching everything with the palm of my hand and my fingers. Now I feel like wearing a hazmat suit.
ReplyDeleteWhen people say just sayin, I feel like punching them in the face and then yelling down at them, "JUST PUNCHIN!"
Just this week, someone was handing out papers and licking their fingers. She was handing me a paper she just licked. Ew. Why?!?!
ReplyDeleteEwwww! My boss tries to do it, I just refuse to touch them. I'm like nope, I will print out a new copy, thanks.
DeleteTwo things: I know for a fact I've tweeted #justsayin, so are you #justsayin that you like me enough to not unfollow me for that little annoying habit? And the red rover thing. People are staring at me because I laughed so hard!
ReplyDeleteI threw up in my mouth a little when I read the licking fingers one. And in addition to the holding hands and not moving, I nominate...
ReplyDeleteWalking with your hand in the back pocket of your significant other's jeans.
Eww. Groww. Stop.
These are so funny! True, but funny.
ReplyDeleteOK WHATTTT
ReplyDeleteCatching up on posts and how did I not see your design?! I'M IN LOVE!!! Also you always make me laugh haha
yup the panda.
ReplyDeletewhy can't more of that happen on a daily basis?
the automatically starting music is totally unforgivable. still laughing about the "do you have any idea how many tabs i have open at once..." b/c who hasn't been there?
ReplyDelete#justsaying and #sorrynotsorry died about two years ago and if I never read them on blogs/twitter again it'd be too soon.
lmao... I lost it at #5...
ReplyDeleteGet out of my head Steph!! We seriously think alike hehe ;)
Automatically starting music makes me want to never come back to that site ever again. And I just burst out laughing at #6. So doing that sometime!
ReplyDeleteShit, I'm totally guilty of the #justsayin and I definitely just checked to make sure Princess Hawkeye is still following moi. Boom. I win this round. I'll make sure I stay away from the other 6.
ReplyDelete1/3/5/6/7- agree.
ReplyDelete2- huge pet peeve. get your shit together people, I don't have time for you to count pennies.
4- SO GROSS!
basically I agree to them all.
hahaha I laughed out loud at #6. I never touch door handles either! ew
ReplyDeleteNumber six bothers me so much! I've been known to elbow someone who is being particularly rude about it.
ReplyDeleteI just don't understand why people don't see how rude and annoying it is?!
DeleteI am SO LATE to the game but this is amazing. I love it....and I agree that ALL OF THE ABOVE should stop being done and NOW!
