| I could go on and on... But the one that REALLY gets me is when children are out-of-control in stores, restaurants, etc. Let me explain that I do not have children, but I am a kindergarten teacher. If I can keep 16 in line on a field trip, parents can at least get their 2 kids to behave at a restaurant. Right? The other day I was at a Mexican restaurant and had to remove the chip tongs from a child's mouth, when the mother was standing two feet away! Ew. I was also recently in a store and noticed two older children playing tag among the racks of clothes. When I glanced around for the parents, I noticed that they were playing too! C'mon! I swear, it's these people that are making my job more and more difficult each day. Phew. I'm done.

| People who leave their trash on the table in a fast food restaurant. OR Let their kid stand up in the booth and stare at you while you try to eat! OR Get to the cashier and have no idea what they want to order, but it never occurs to them to let someone else go ahead while the "ponder" the mysteries of the Mcvalue menu!!!!

| 1. Bad grammar and misspelled words (I'm talking pretty basic stuff) 2. Cliches like "It's a catch-22!" It's even worse when they say something like that and it makes no sense in the context in which it's placed. 3. Prepositions at the end of sentences. This isn't technically bad grammar, and I'm definitely not innocent. It still bothers me, though. 4. People who smell like armpit 5. Arrogant people 6. People who ask me my nationality when they mean race (I understand people are pretty squirmish about this, but if you know me even a little you know I don't get offended easily, so go ahead and ask! ). 7. People who ask me if I am going to North Korean when I tell them I'm going to Korea. Yep, I'm going to the North. I thought it would be fun to get shot. (One guy even asked me if Korea was still separate. These questions were acceptable when North Korea wasn't in the news every other day.) 8. People who let others talk down to them. (I'll defend my friends until the end, but I like it when they stand up for themselves as well. I don't mind getting in the middle to defend, but I appreciate it when it's not necessary. Plus, sometimes I get in trouble for defending a friend. I can't just sit back and watch, though.) 9. People who talk down to others, and people who have no respect for others. 10. Tattlers--especially at work. Deal with your own trivial issues like an adult unless it's a big issue (sexual assault, stealing/breaking expensive equipment, etc), and don't do it to become the boss' favourite. 11. People who show off their Gucci bag or designer clothes to people they don't even know in this way that tries to say, "Look how much better I am than you now." It's a bag. Yes, it's a pretty bag, but get over it. 12. Drama, especially office drama 13. Emotional relationships. Eww. They make me squirm. I know I'm a girl, but I don't want to tell you what I'm thinking, where the relationship is going or how I feel about this or that. Let's just hang out, have a good time and see where it goes naturally. Oh, and I hate it when guys I'm on a date with don't pay. My thinking on this is: you asked me out, so why wouldn't you pay? 14. People who try to talk like they're experts on subjects when they know nothing. 15. People who are not in my job field who try to tell me how to do my job. An example of this is how I was interviewing someone once for a story, and the person said, "This isn't a story. Why are you bothering to do this?" Grr. 16. Liars Okay, that list ended up a lot longer than I had planned. Whoops!

| Oh no worries, b/c you read it, instead of hearing me tell you. it's the people that insist on getting it right, and they've already tried and gotten it wrong a million times. They'll try pretty much any letter before the "nee" except "U". boonie, goonie, moonie, looney (I forgot about that one, but she is pretty looney!), but Noonie is ok!

Thor's Human Donating Member | This one is kind of random, but when there is a group of guys and everyone goes on and on about "boy" topics and then the girls talk for two seconds about make up or shoes and all the guys act like their bits will fall off. You know, I wasn't all that fascinated with the forty-five minute discussion of Grand Theft Auto and the latest Blackberry model. Deal!

PS. this is only when I know the asker is a male with "yellow fever". If it's an elderly person that still thinks "oriental" is the way to refer to Asians then I'll just tell them.

But if it's someone older then I usually just say half Korean. I don't want to seem rude. It really does get on my nerves, though, especially since I've been asked that for as long as I can remember! How do you prefer people to ask you? Would you rather them just ask what race you are or do you have a different word? (I think people don't like to say anything that even comes close to the word "racist," which is why they're hesitant to ask me my race.) ETA: By the way, are you full or half? Or a quarter ... etc.?
