How Annoying Do You Want To Be?

I am annoying. Ask my oldest sister. She can’t stand me. I can tell by the rolling of her eyes. Instead of responding to my annoyances she just rolls her eyes and walks away.

My other siblings don’t seem to have a problem with my annoying personality. At least, I don’t think they do. Maybe it’s because they are annoying too. Put us all together in a room and people will leave the room. Our husbands and in-laws will nod in agreement.

Why? Because, we are loud. We say stupid things, things that don’t make sense and then we laugh about it because we can, even if we don’t understand what we are saying ourselves. When I really want to be annoying I’ll point my finger in a persons face, their shoulder, the top of their back, in their ear, their neck, etc. I could go on an on about my annoyances, but before I annoyingly tell you all about myself again (annoying) I will introduce you instead to a very educational lens from girlfriendfactory. It’s called The Art of Being Annoying - A How-To Guide for the Annoyingly Impaired.

Let me begin by saying I love a lens that will make me chuckle. This lens definitely gave me a good chuckle. It has a lot to do with the sarcastic tone throughout the lens. Sarcasm drips from this lens like chocolate from a fondue fountain and I love it. I want to grab a strawberry, dip it into sarcasm richness and then eat it all up. Why? So I can be more annoying for my sister, of course.

The layout of the lens is perfect. A fellow “annoyingly impaired” can go from beginner to advanced in just a few lessons. The lessons are descriptive and easy to understand by child or adult. Girlfriendfactory is a true master in annoyance. Even the annoying products she has displayed on the lens fit in well with the lens subject.

For a visual, here’s a quick list of basic, intermediate and advanced annoyance skills she has listed on her lens:

“Learn how to properly whine!” I whine a lot.

“Make sure the conversation always stays on topic - YOUR topic!” Hello! This has me written all over it!

“Ask for items that are clearly not available to you!” My kids do this.

“Change your mind, then change it back, then change it back again!” This is an advanced skill and I do this!

“Completely ignore the mood of a situation and bring your own!” I do this too!

Even the disclaimer made me giggle. I had to read it twice because the sentences are so long (annoying), but the “don’t spit in the wind” hit the funny spot right on. Annoying video lesson plans would be beneficial to this lens. Videos would not only tell us, but also show us how to be annoying. Some of us need visuals. I would also love to see more annoying lessons from girlfriendfactory. There is just so much more she could teach and so much more I would love to learn.
