I'm having a read of this article, 23 Things No One Cares About But You, and I realised how many things I can relate to. So much. I find that I can be quite an awkward person at times, and I'm so glad I'm not the only one!
These are my faves:
1. Thinking that the people watching you cross the street from inside their cars are judging your face, clothing or the way you walk.
3. Thinking you’re causing sidewalk congestion by moving to the side to check your phone even though you’re not sure what else to do.
4. Shame that you messed up the dinner you made for yourself last night, meaning you’re not ready to be an adult. (So. Freaking. Much. Sorry boys, I'm not quite housewife material yet!)
6. Thinking people are still not sure about you after a stupid joke you made a zillion years ago.
7. Accidentally making eye contact with a stranger more than once, meaning you’re a creep.
10. How many times you coughed lightly during a conversation.
13. If you stared too long at someone’s dog as they walked by. Do they think you’re going to like, steal their dog now? (Every morning, I smile at the two pugs this old man takes for a walk. I smile at the pugs, not the man. He must think I'm a loony.)
14. That you wore the same dress twice around the same people, and they might think you never change clothes. (At university, me and my friend made Friday our waistcoat day. Every Friday I'd wear my waistcoat, and unfortunately that was the only day I had my International Relations class. Those people only ever saw me in a waistcoat. Awks.)
15. If you haven’t seen the latest Breaking Bad episode or ever watched Mad Men and you think people will find you out of touch or boring.
17. Accidentally saying “you too” when a server says, “Enjoy your meal.” (or, alternatively, "Happy Birthday!" "You too!")
19. How nerdy or not nerdy or cool and uncool you were in high school. It’s over, no one cares about high school anymore.

ReplyDeleteOh, I wish I had some pugs in the neighborhood!
ReplyDeleteMy goal for 2012 was actually to pet a pug, I kid you not. And I did it! Now I need to try and feel if black pugs are even softer than the brown ones... New mission!
