Can I first start by apologising for not posting for such a long time! I fear you may feel I have become one of the people this post is about. I simply have not had any time, it's all revision revision revision for me at the minute. Today I have taken a break from aforementioned revision to talk to you lovely people.
I realise the topic of this post could be a tad controversial as different people find different things annoying, but one recent experience of mine on an aeroplane enlightened me of a group of people who simply cannot help but be annoying. So there I was sat innocently on an aisle seat watching a television programme on my tablet PC (sorry but I don't know about copyrighting laws...) with my headphones in. The television programme in question was
Top Gear, and in this specific episode, they were in Iceland. I was watching it and giggling to my self silently as the car's tyre caught fire, when I felt a strange prodding sensation in my right arm. I paused the programme, removed my right headphone and looked to my right to find the woman sat next to me staring at the screen. As soon as I paused the programme she looked at me and asked "Where are they?".
I am in no doubt that the expression on my face was,
are you being serious? I stared at her in confusion and questioningly answered "Iceland?". She then nodded and mumbled something about how she thought that was where it was. Then reached over and pressed play on
my tablet PC! I mean seriously, who does that?! As soon as the episode finished I packed my tablet away and got a book out, praying she wouldn't start turning the pages for me... Fortunately I survived and she fell asleep.
This incident led me to believe that there are people out there who simply have no idea how annoying something like that is. They just do things without realising that one day they are going to be that old woman with 17 cats living in an old peoples estate and hoarding newspapers from the 1920s. I do not mean to cause offence and these people probably do not know it themselves, but I am going to make a plea:
"Please think about what you are doing before you do it!"
Maybe, we all have that annoying streak within us, and it is more prominent in some people than others. But seriously, I cannot be the only one to find my plane experience, if not annoying, then at least a tad weird?
I am 15 years of age (as my regular readers would have discovered in Musings of a 15 year old) and therefore this year have my GCSE exams. My first exam is on the 11th May and from that point until the 27th June I will not be posting, if I do please tell me off, because I should be revising. So this post is simply to apologise for not posting during that period and probably not from now until then as these last couple of weeks have been full of frantic revision. I shall prove this by telling you that my post on Annoying People was based on an experience that happened over two months ago...
