100 Reasons I Hate You: Reasons 3 & 4

3. You say whatever
There are points where whatever is a legitimate response. For example, You are walking and you step on an acorn. It cracks and you look back wondering what you stepped on, but then ultimately decide to keep going to your destination so you shrug it off with a polite, whatever. Then there are the moments that piss me off. The moments when I passionately come up with a rebuttal to your argument. The response is so passionate and so articulate I should be standing on the steps of the Lincoln memorial with an American flag waving behind me. You, on the other hand, decide to puss out and not think of something intellectual to say to reinforce your point, so in one poorly combined word you devalue my whole point and brush it off like a crumb on your shirt. Whatever has no intellectual value behind it. Its just an easy way out of a confrontation you’ll just lose.




4. You sip your drink before you finish swallowing your food
How parched are you that you need to do this? Sometimes its fine, like with cookies or even with a PB&J sandwich. However, if you’re eating a burger and your mouth is full then you reach for a sip of your drink, that's nasty. Its like “OK! My mouth is full, but now lets add the liquid in there to fill any air pockets and then, mix it together in a deep and sloppy chewing fashion!” Its like a masticating cow, chewing and gnawing at it’s cud. It’s either sip then eat or eat then sip, not eatsip, or sipeat, and see, those don’t even exist because my word processor just put a squiggly red line underneath both.
