Because I always, always drop things otherwise.
It's the flip for me -- I find the change falls off the bills easier than it falls out of my cupped hand.
You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
My annoyance is more with the customers behind me who shove the carts right into me. And if the have stroller carts or their kids in the baby seat, they shove even harder.
People actually do that? Poke you from behind with their carts? On purpose, or just out of complete and utter cluelessness and indifference to the fact that when they go out in public they're in close proximity to other actual humans? 'Cause, either way, blargh.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
There's a word for the misguided belief that life was better when you were younger and that things today don't hold a candle to the wonderful things of yesterday.
Codgerism? Curmudgeonism?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The world is covered with germs -- money and door handles are much nastier than a hand.
I don't know your word, Susan, but I can see myself using it a LOT.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I put my bills and my change in seperate places so I dislike the hammock. It just makes it take longer for me to get out of the next person's way. That said, at the drive-thru taco shop place, I accept that the hammock is just about the only way it is going to happen and since they also give me taquitos, I'm good with the hammock.
Mostly I just don't like people in general though.
Reynolds said, "Willie ... is just about the nicest man I've ever worked with in my life, and when we worked together, I thought ... if [we'd hooked up], we'd still be 'happily together'"Their luv is so utterly strange.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I'm also annoyed with people who have a full cart of groceries but appear to be stunned and amazed that they have to get out a wallet or checkbook and actually pay for these things. It doesn't seem to occur to them to even start looking for a checkbook until after everything is rung up.
