I hate repeating myself. Probably to a fault. I know it's impossible for everyone in the world to remember every little thing I've ever said. But that's not what annoys me.
It annoys me when someone makes a suggestion to me, such as....
"Hey, look here, it says they're hiring bookkeepers for the newspaper. You've had experience with that, right? You should totally go for that job!"
"Hmmm...it says here it pays 9.50 an hour? That won't work."
"Why not?"
"Cuz the job is 80 miles away. I'd be spending half my paycheck in gas, not to mention additional wear and tear on the car. I'm better off staying home collecting unemployment."
"Oh, ok."
<FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER>
"Ooooh, look what I found! Here's another job!"
"What is this one?"
"Convenience Store Manager!"
"Where is it?"
"Black Hill!"
"Black....What the fuck? That's not even in this state! That's over a hundred miles away!"
"So?"
"What did we just talk about?"
"Ummm...but that was a newspaper job."
"What the hell difference does that make?"
"Oh, I guess you're right. Sorry."
<FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER>
"Ooooh why don't you apply for this job?"
<sigh>
"What is it?"
"Cashier!"
"Where?"
"Jonesboro!"
"J...JONESBORO? YOU THINK I'M GOING TO DRIVE TO JONESBORO AND BACK EVERY DAY FOR 7.50 AN HOUR? ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE? WHAT HAVE WE JUST BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR THE PAST HALF HOUR???"
