Honestly, I have a knack for not getting anything done. I have no stress levels whatsoever, as well as no motivation, so my life is at a complete standstill. This can be seen as the perfect lifestyle, where a person cannot get anymore laid back and therefore lives happily carefree, or it could be seen as the lifestyle of a homeless person who has no life goals and will continue searching through dumpsters for food because he's too lazy to do make use of himself. I'm not entirely sure where I lay on this disgustingly tiny spectrum. What I do know is that if I don't start getting stuff done, I probably will end up as a homeless man living in a dumpster.

5 More Types of Highly Annoying People

1. The Overreactor: This is the friend (or maybe ex-friend) who just can't let anything go. You jokingly bring up how she used to throw soggy graham crackers at your face in the third grade, and BAM, you don't hear a word from her for days. Overreactors love to blow up over meaningless comments, and if they're not pouting and ignoring you, they're pestering you to such an extent that you just can't help but snap and scream, "ENOUGH! I GET THE POINT! GO AWAY, OR I WILL BE FORCED TO STAB YOU WITH MY CALCULATOR!" Which is advisable only as a last resort, because calculators aren't very sharp.

2. The Egomaniac: These people aren't just annoying; they're rude, too. Say you got a lead part in the school play, and you excitedly share the news with an Egomaniac. Does she respond by screaming that you're awesome and giving you a giant hug? Nope. She just stands there, blinking, and maybe says something like, "Oh. Huh. I could have gotten that part, but it didn't really require enough talent to interest me." An Egomaniac never appreciates anyone else's accomplishments, but loves to shout his/her own successes from the rooftops. If you know someone like this, give him/her a plane ticket to Alaska. Sorry, Alaskans: they're your problem now.

3. The Fun-Sucker: These people are the worst. When you make a sarcastic remark, even if everyone else in the room is cracking up, the Fun-Sucker just stares at you as if you're the stupidest person in the history of the planet. Fun-Suckers are basically sore losers who want the attention for themselves at all times, and no matter how genius or hilarious your comment may be, they won't crack so much as a grin. They're selfish, tend to be overly studious, and have been known to enjoy granola bars. Watch out.

4. The Ultra-Saint: These people seem lovely the first time you meet them, but by the third time around, you've pretty much had it. There's nothing wrong with niceness, but if it's a Monday morning and you can hardly keep yourself from slamming your head against your locker, this is not a person you want to run into. Example:
You: Bah. Monday. So. Tired. Hate. Everything.
Ultra-Saint: HI THERE! AREN'T MONDAYS GREAT? WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME TO MY SAVE THE WHALES MEETING?
You: ...Sure. If you don't yell.
Ultra-Saint: *grinning* I'M NOT YELLING, THAT'S JUST MY NORMAL VOICE, SILLY. I LIKE YOUR SHIRT!
You: Thank you. Can you leave now?
Ultra-Saint: SURE, I'LL GO EVEN THOUGH YOU DIDN'T SAY PLEASE. I HOPE I SEE YOU CHAINED TO A TREE WITH ME TO PROTEST THE DESTRUCTION OF THE RAIN FOREST!
Even if you're all for saving the whales and the rainforest, the Ultra-Saint's constant tendency to over-do the enthusiasm is bound to irk you, especially if you have a low tolerance for giant grins and shouting.

5. The Hypocrite: Hypocrites are almost worse than liars: they're not only lying to you, they're lying to themselves. They gossip about their best friends and then freak out when they hear someone else do the same; they preach against cheating on tests, but are always looking over your shoulder in Calculus. Hypocrites are in a permanent stage of denial, and somebody needs to slap them with a dead squirrel. Just don't kill the squirrel yourself, because that would be creepy and gross.

Highly Annoying People

Just some more school-related venting. Here’s a list of the annoying kids who make my school day a bit more nerve-wracking:

1. Slow Walking People. OK, seriously? We have SIX MINUTES to get to freaking class, and these people want to lolligag? No. Pick up the pace a little bit, people. I have to get all the way downstairs and then back up, and you're in front of me with your pants below your knees, pretending that you have swagger. Suburban white kid, could you not do that in the middle of the hallway, please?

2. People who feel the need to say (insert cuss word here) between EVERYTHING they say. It is fine, to an extent, to say these words. You're a human being. But when you go around and are like, "Oh My #^$%$^ ? God man!!! Did you see that#@%@#% go to the @#$#@$#@$ street @#$#@$ giraffe!!! It was so @#$@#$@# off the $!@$!@#.!!!" It gets to the point where I can't even understand what you're saying. I understand every other word, so the sentence ends up sounding like "Oh my God man!! Did you see that go to the giraffe!! It was so!!!!" Did I see a giraffe do what?

3. Goody Two-Shoes, Teacher's Pet, etc. You know you've seen them. They lurk around in an unassuming way, then *BOOM,* like a time bomb, they go off with their never-ending supply of niceness: "Oh, let me pick that up for you," "Could you help me pick out a book for this book report? I just respect your opinion SO much," "That is SO funny!" You get the idea. It's good to be nice to teachers, but there IS a boundary between friendly and down-right creepy and, well, annoying.

4. Skinny girls who go to the bathroom just to check themselves out, and then say, "Oh my God, I'm ssooooooooooo fat. I knew I only should have had one rice cracker for breakfast!" Then they proceed to dump a truckload of makeup on their face, which always seems to find a spot on your clothes. These girls don't need to be wasting precious school bathroom passes on things like this. Some of us, you know, ACTUALLY have to go to the bathroom. Shocking, I know.
