Warning: This could get long.
T is on my bad side right now because she basically screwed me over on the party weekend (see previous entry) and when I finally confronted her about it she basically ignored the entire point I was trying to make and made some totally bullshit excuses instead. So I'm definitely predisposed at this point to look for things to be annoyed about. I think this is a human reaction.
1) She leaves her dishes in the sink for forever. On that same note, she's constantly making remarks about how "we" need to clean up something or other, but never does it or makes any attempt to arrange a time when we can.
2) She makes random remarks in Japanese and always expects me to ask her what they mean, I guess so she can show off her AWESOME JAPANESE SKILLZ or something.
3) She comments on things like jokes in movies that EVERYONE gets and therefore nobody else feels the need to comment on. She acts like it's the first time she's seen any movie joke ever. (For instance, in Ghostbusters, when the marshmallow man comes on: "Oh, that would be a really silly way to die!" And then she laughs hysterically.)
4) She is apparently completely helpless, and so her mom or both her parents will show up at random intervals, unannounced, to do things that she could easily do herself or don't need to be done. Like taking down our Halloween decorations or helping her clean her room. She basically has her parents jumping at her beck and call. Also, if she goes home for a visit, her mom always sends her back with tons of useless shit that takes up room in our kitchen. (Her mom annoys me too, but that's another list.)
5) She does not know when to end a conversation and cannot take a hint. She'll come into my room and start talking to me about something, and will keep going on and on even when I'm obviously busy doing something else, like homework.
6) In the same vein, she'll talk endlessly about some new anime DVD or something she got and expect me to show the same level of enthusiasm even though I know nothing about it and have no interest in it.
7) She apparently is one of those people who still believes that going outside with your hair wet will give you a cold. GERMS EXIST, OMG. Also, she apparently thinks "Susan B. Anthony" is spelled "Susan Bianthony", and that a silver dollar is the size of her palm. What.
8) When she makes a reasonable request of me, like placing a DVD face up when I take it out of the player, she'll spend like the next five minutes explaining why she wants me to do that.
9) She sits in the living room doing homework and she'll have the TV on, but she won't actually be watching it; like, maybe it will be paused. So she's hogging the TV for no reason.
10) She has very faulty cause-effect logic. When we first moved in, she thought the mildew buildup in the bathroom fan was a result of us leaving it on all the time.
11) She will text me from the next room about something totally inane.
12) She's always complaining about how she never sees or talks to her boyfriend and talking about all these other boys she flirts with at parties and things. I want to tell her to just break up with him already if he's such a burden.
13) We had this conversation the other day about how I don't want kids because I just don't have the patience, even when they're someone else's kids that I can give back when they get cranky or annoying. She went off on this whole spiel about how it's different when they're your own and sooner or later the maternal instinct will win out because EVERYONE has one and it's IMPOSSIBLE to fight. It really pisses me off when people make that argument. I told her if everyone had that unstoppable parental instinct, there wouldn't be a single child abuse or neglect case, and you wouldn't have those crazy moms who punt their kids in the river or kill them for interrupting Farmville time. (Also, this isn't an annoyance exactly, but I found out through that same conversation that she is very anti-abortion while I am vehemently pro-choice. Awkward.)
14) She texted me today asking if I had any Raid because she found ONE spider that she perceived as too big to hit with a flyswatter. Dude, we do not have to pray pesticides all around our apartment for that. I don't want to be asphyxiated in my sleep. Just hit it with a boot or a big book or something.
15) She turns up the baseboard heaters as high as they will go, so I come home to a completely sweltering apartment.
Edited to add:
16) She found a ring at the mall that appears to be valuable and instead of turning it in, she kept it and is now calling it her gift from God.
17) She stands outside the closed door to my room and tries to talk to me without raising her voice at all. I pretend I don't hear her at all.
I'm sure I can think of more, but my supply is exhausted at the moment.
