Gentle Annoyances

I was reminded while watching the Oscars last night that I dislike strangely cut tuxedos and suits. I'm no fashionista or anything, but those that are should know better.

This is one of a collection of insigificant and idiosyncratic things that bug me. Like people that choose to prounounce things strangely. Such as saying "processes" with a long "eeez" on the end. Or people that insist on calling Chile, "Cheelay." Get over yourselves! And, of course, there's always that "joolery" thing.

I'm not a big fan of parents who choose to express their creativity by naming their child something normal, but spelling that name in an awkward and/or extreme way. Even more bothersome are those parents that zoom right by this stage and choose to not only spell their child's name in a strange way but also pick a very strange name. At least with the former one can go through life with relative ease and minimal fuss, since how often does one spell their name. Those poor people with odd names are without a similar escape.

Luckily, these things only bother me when they are present in front of me.
