The Little Annoying Things

I don't know if anyone else, actually let me specify. I don't know if any other Christian is like this, but do specific little things get you ticked off, annoyed, or even enraged? I feel the need to add that I am a Christian to show that I do know how to bite my tongue and control myself, but the feeling, oh my gosh that feeling of annoyance is so prevalent. Let me tell you something that happened today.

I woke up early in the morning to get some work done on my computer. Then I decided to partially clean my room and get ready for the day, which took a lot longer than I thought it would. I decided to charge my computer because I was going into my other job about an hour later. Here's the thing about my computer. While it is fresh and new, it runs low on battery very quickly. So, it could be fully charged one minute, and then after a 30 minute to an hour drive to my job, it will be close to dying. Now when I tell you about my experience, I don't want anyone to get angry on my behalf or berate the person from this experience. Because overall, I know this person, and I know that they are not this terrible person that may seem to be described in this personal experience. This is not a hot gossip session, I would just like people to see my point of view. Now, on to the point. After getting to my other job, like I said, my computer is on the verge of dying. My coworker and I share one outlet. Why we only have on outlet is beyond me and my knowledge. All I know is that we have one outlet. As soon as I get to my desk, I bring out my charger but then my coworker jumps ahead and plugs their charger in. So, it creates an awkward situation. It was very obvious that I was going to charge my computer. Now keep in mind. I have 2 jobs, and one of them is from my computer, so it has to stay plugged in, in order for me to do my work. This job is my coworker's only job and if I am being completely honest, they don't have us doing anything on our computers. For the majority of our shifts, this coworker is either laying down or is on their phone. This person merely brings in their computer, so it looks like they are doing something.

In addition, this person knows that I have another job which requires me to be on my computer. AND, on top of that, this coworker is here 2 hours before I am in which they do nothing. We are doing the same job which is how I know. So, why not charge your computer during the 2 hours that I am not here? Why do you know feel the sudden urge to charge your computer as soon as you see that I am about to? Now that really ticked me off. You had 2 hours to yourself in which you could've charged your computer and you chose not to. It's not like it's being used anyway. Whereas I, who has other obligations that need to be completed, do not have the luxury of having 2 hours to myself in my shift. I really hope this all makes sense. Now of course, I did not express myself in the ways that I am now, but goodness' sake, some days I just want to scream. It especially makes me annoyed when the issue shouldn't even exist and could have been avoided if people simply stopped being difficult. 2 HOURS! As a Christian, I find myself ranting in my prayer journal about these things. My patience is tested so many times in a single week. For any of the viewers that read my blogs who are not Christian, please for the love of God know that we Christians get annoyed. I just so happen to be very efficient in hiding my annoyance from people I am not close with. But for my family and my boyfriend, oh they know how annoyed I get. They know the things that make me want to scream.

I feel the need to create a list:

1. When the ends of my sleeves get stuck on doorknobs.

2. When someone repeatedly steps on the back of my shoe.

3. Extremely slow drivers on the highway.

4. When guys have their pants sagging down to their ankles.

5. Loudness

6. People erratically screaming. This could be at a concert or those kids who think it is funny to randomly scream.

7. People who answer their phones in the movie theatre.

8. The word ain't.

9. The word rizz

10. The word skibidi

11. Fake pockets

12. The LA accent

13. Those people who give you a nasty side eye when you compliment them.

14. The fact that 'popular' people are some of the meanest people-why do people like you? You're so rude.

15. People who don't say "God bless" after someone sneezes-whatever happened to common manners and courtesy?

16. "OnlyFans is empowering."-no it isn't.

17. Those people who leave their shopping carts in the middle of the parking lot or up against someone's car.

18. Anyone who has an attitude for no reason at all.

19. Those people who always have a negative attitude or always have something rude to say but somehow have so many friends (I realize this is quite ironic given that I am making this list but trust me, I am not negative all the time).

Now I am going to leave it at that. 19 is a lot, so yeah. But these were the things I could come up with off the top of my head. I need to know from my fellow Christians if y'all go through this. Don't get me wrong, I am great at hiding when I am annoyed just so I don't further the issue. Most of the time when I am annoyed, I feel the need to remove myself from the situation, but oh my word. What do you do when you can't? And here's the really bad part. I usually feel so bad afterwards for feeling annoyed or ticked off. I mean I didn't act on it thank God, but the feeling afterwards is just straight guilt. Even when there are very valid reasons and times where I have every right to be annoyed, I still feel meh. What's crazy is that my mom has always said that I am too forgiving of a person, and I'm just thinking girlllll you have no idea what is going on in my head. I genuinely think that I put this pressure on myself to not get angry or feel some type of way. I mean for most of my life it was almost wrong to get mad, especially as a child or someone from a younger generation. I am constantly hearing, "what do you have to be mad/annoyed for? You're young." What does being young have to do with getting mad? Now I don't want to completely blame the older generations but if I am being completely honest, I am always hearing, "You're so young so you can't be this," "You're so young, you can't do this." It's almost like they think being young makes you immune from problems that come along with life. It's always the people who say, "You're so young, you haven't experienced anything," or, "You're so young, you don't know what stress is." Right, because you know every teensy-weensy detail of my life.

Either way, I'm getting off track. I just need to know from my fellow Christians if y'all go through this. I don't know, maybe we can get a group started. We can all sit in a circle and introduce ourselves and talk about our issues lol. "Hi, my name is Isabella." *In unison* "Hii Isabella."
