3. Use my friend's name as a laudatory adjective/noun.
Examples: "You said something both clever and kind. That's very [name] of you." "You're a very good [name]." "Good grief, he thinks he's a [name]."
4. Eat the apple from my coworker's lunch when I'm hungry at 10:30 a.m.

Poking my finger into each fancy chocolate in the box to see what the filling is before I bite it.

I must be terribly annoying then...
I do sing in my cubicle... sometimes even to heavy metal. I always play pick-me-up music as I'm getting ready. Not Footloose, because my daughter is singing that for choir concert tomorrow and she has already banned me until September. (and that would put me way over annoying and into mildly evil) Totally spend too much time online when I'm at work. I don't poke into every chocolate, I ignore the darks LOL.
Let's see, what can I add?

Oh, Katie! One of our sister missionaries knows you family! I told her she reminded me of one of my friends, just the way she talked and held herself, and, well, turns out you grew up in her home town. (Although she said she was 7 when you moved away; her older sister is closer to your age.)
I guess that's another of my irritating things I do; if someone reminds me of one of my friends I tell them aaaaall about it. Posted by Dog Walker (Member # 8301) on :
Throw tomatoes at a preformer.... Its not that i have anything against actors, I just want to experiance the pure joy of releasing a fruit (its a fruit right???) at a person.

Pee with the door open. One of my former roommates use to do this all the time; neither of us could be bothered to shut the door. When we got a new roommate I had to retrain myself. I am so supremely lady-like and civilized. Waah.

Oh just thought of another thing i don't do but wish i could.....
Sing t "I found my Thrill... On Blueberry Hill" over and over again. Got to love happy Days.
One I'm guilty of is singing the lines "Theres always something else to remind me" non stop when I am doing mindless tasks. I'm not sure if thats how it goes but thats how i sing it.
Isn't it annoying to hear someone sing the wrong words!

They often have a thing at the Ren Faire here where you can throw tomatoes at a clown that heckles you... I'll never forget throwing my first two and missing wildly as he ducked, then waiting until he was turned away making fun of me and getting him right as he turned back to taunt me again.

Bring my guitar to work and play it when I need to think (that would actually be quite helpful).

Liz really hates it when people do that. Liz remembers listening to Wade Boggs talk this way. Liz's daughter, who is twelve, knows Liz hates this, and talks this way all the time.

You're kidding! What's her last name? I can't think of who it might be...
That's amazing about the talk and hold myself thing. I worry sometimes that I'm not a good Texas because I love Washington DC so much. It makes me feel better to know I carry west Texas with me. Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Her name is Sister Keller. We were talking about it and she asked if you lived in her town growing up or something and I said could be, and she asked your last name and recognized it, and it went from there...
Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
Whoa! Wow! Hmm..I'm trying to remember which sister that is. I LOVE the Kellers. Sister Keller is the woman who died a couple of years ago in a car accident - do you remember me posting about it? They lived next door to us growing up, and her mother was one my mother's counselors in the ward Relief Society presidency. I think Sister Keller's dad got remarried just a couple of months ago - her family is moving to Utah.
I probably saw her just a few years ago - my dad came down for the funeral, which was held in Lewisville, TX - just north of Grapevine there in the metroplex.
That is pretty cool. If you see her again, tell her I said hi. Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
I will tell her. We see them a lot, as they are in love with our kids. Also, we went on a visit to an investigator's house with them and may do so again in the next week. We like these sisters a lot. I mean, we like most of our missionaries, but we like some more than others, if you know what I mean. Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :

Back in my grad school days (mid 80's), one of the profs I worked with was named Dave. One of the students added a program to his computer that replaced the error beep with Hal saying "I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that".
I want to run my keys along the paint on the side of a particular Lexus whenever I walk through the parking lot (long story).
