Ways to Annoy Me, Part 2 (General Considerations)

1. Insinuate that the only reason I was admitted to medical school was to fulfill some sort of quota.

2. Play your iPod so loudly that I can hear your music from 15 feet away...and you're wearing headphones. What are you doing to your ears?

3. Wear a tie that's the same color as your shirt. You are not Regis Philbin.

4. Talk to your friend during Spinning class. I'd prefer to listen to Hottie Dave tell me to check my cadence, thanks.

5. Tell me my engagement photo turned out 'much better than I expected,' because I didn't pick the pose that you liked best.

6. Forget to bathe before you get on the airplane. I know you sat down before I did, but I thought that the stench was due to proximity to the bathroom, not to you.

7. Wear scrubs to the gym. I'd rather not think about the bodily fluids that could be on them.

8. Wear a mock turtleneck. Seriously, you're over 40, and while I know you were probably in great shape in your 20s, you no longer are.

9. Interrupt Oprah's interview of a burn victim to bring me 'late, breaking news' on the University of Alabama's search for a new football coach.

10. Rip a 'silent, but deadly' fart IN THE CAR, while I'm telling you how important you and our relationship are to me. Then giggle.
