Most of the time I try hard not to complain, but today I'm giving myself a break.
1. I am not memorable. People never seem to remember meeting me. You would think that my name would help me combat this, but it doesn't seem to. If anyone has tips on how to make a lasting impression, I'm all ears.
2. My eyelashes are longer on my left eye than they are on my right eye.
3. When people think it's weird that I'm very verbally affectionate. I live a wonderful life and love a lot of people. Why not tell them?
4. Passive aggressiveness.
5. People who say they're going to do something when we both know they're not going to do it.
6. Arguing with know-it-alls. You just can't win!
7. Jersey Shore.
8. When men wear a shirt tucked into slacks with no belt.
9. People who don't really have much to say, so they tell stories about other people that you've never met and really have nothing to do with anything.
10. When non-busy people won't shut up about how "busy" they are.
11. When Jews brag about being "cheap" and give us all a bad name.
12. When girls treat nice guys like crap and give us all a bad name.
13. When people get ridiculously rude and offensive over religion, politics, and football.
14. The way my hair dries naturally. It's been almost 25 years and I still don't know what the hell is wrong with it.
15. My ugly forehead.
16. Texts From Last Night. Funny, yes. Classy, no.
17. When people make awkward jokes that they assumed I was a boy before meeting me because of my name. Ha, ha.
18. When people ask me if I'm "allowed to have a Christmas tree".
19. NEGATIVE BLOG COMMENTS.
20. OPI ChipSkip. Someone recommended it to me and I'm NOT a fan. It actually picks up the polish off of my nails rather than protecting it!
21. When my mail comes destroyed. We all know there are few people who love the USPS more than yours truly, but I literally received HALF of a birthday card last week and I'm fairly certain that's not what the sender intended. No "Sorry" post-it?
22. Fake Southerners. I know most people probably consider me one, but at least I own the fact that I'm from MIAMI.
23. Pretenders.
24. Pushy people.
25. My lagging metabolism!

This is literally the reason I do not subscribe to Vogue. I like to read it and stare at the pretty pictures. If it came in the mail wrinkled, I would be DEVASTATED.
Good list! I HATE Opi Chipskip too- it messed up my polish when I tried it too!
I'm a lurker, but I'm de-lurking to tell you how much I'm enjoying your lists. Re: people not remembering you... perhaps use someone's name frequently when you meet them. Supposedly we all love to hear our name.
Great list--thanks for sharing!
I also hate fake southerners lol
Born in Virginia, raised in Florida!
Great list.
I also hate when people say they're going to do something when you know they're not going to do it. I think we'd all be happier and more productive if everyone was just honest and upfront about things!
Destroyed mail is a biggie with me too. Just yesterday my boyfriend received a magazine with the cover and first three pages shredded. :(
Someone once told me that if you get negative blog comments, it's a sign that you're moving up in the blog world. Either way, it still hurts. Last week someone wrote "SCREW YOU DOUCHEBAG" on one of my posts. It was really sweet.
I think the same thing is wrong with my hair. It's certainly not curly, it has one wave. If not for the good people at CHI, we'd have a problem.
HATE OPI ChipSkip.
On an aside, I hope I don't qualify as a fake southerner. I live in Dallas, but I'm a proud Minnesotan. I never even say "y'all". Promise.
I hate when people interrupt me. I don't know what it is about me, but I feel like I get interrupted a lot.
And the Christmas Tree thing is annoying too!! I really hate that my fiance's sister repeatedly (as in EVERY SINGLE YEAR) says that we should have a white tree with blue lights cause I'm Jewish. Get over it.
Great list! I'm not sure I've met anyone who was a fake Southerner. Either you were born in the South or you weren't, right?! :-)
YOU have a lagging metabolism? Oh, bless your heart, child! I think you only get to claim that if you're a double-digit size. ;-)
AKM, born in KY and raised in TN!
I love your name. I wish I would have thought of it for my daughter.
I think it is a great name for a writer too!
Happy Happy Birthday! I think of you when I think of NYC! You are memorable!
I hope you have a wonderful birthday!
I agree with most of your comments, esp. number 17. I get Mr. Slopey all the time or did you parents really mean to name you that? P.S. you are memorable, loved, and a super Kappa, so don't ever forget that :)
