Minor Annoyance: Hearing The Same Jokes Over And Over Again.
Minor annoyance: Hearing the same jokes over and over again.
For example, you may know that I make mazes. One of the more common jokes I hear out of people is, "Wow, these are a-MAZE-ing! lolololol"
No. Please stop. I get it. It's funny the first time. I laughed too. I don't anymore. It's annoying and repetitious. Please stop.
Obviously this is just one example of many with many other people, so please refrain from joking about people's names, usernames, professions, or hobbies, because they've probably heard it already. Thank you.

The following is a dramatization of real events:
"My charger for my computer broke! One of the wires must have frayed. Oh well, I'll be out of commission for a couple of days. I'll just order a new one via Amazon Prime.
"WHAT?!? It's EIGHTY DOLLARS?! Not happening! This had BETTER be covered under warranty.
"I've been on hold for the past thirty minutes... What, it's under warranty? Great! How long will it take to get here?... FIVE TO SEVEN DAYS?!?!
"I'm gonna be without a computer for a WEEK! Classes will have started by then! Now I can't stream, or work on my mappacks, or distract myself during class, or refresh the same eight websites every five minutes, or... Or..."

*starts grinning*
"OH NO, now I can't do everything on my computer! I'm FORCED to learn how to better use my phone as a secondary way of obtaining information. How HORRIBLE!
"Aw man, now I can't play my computer games! I have to play my new 3DS games that I got the other day instead. One of them is even my first Pokemon game! It's pure TORTURE.
"Darn it, now I can't work on my mappacks! Forget the fact that I've been working on them for months and haven't made much progress on anything - I OBVIOUSLY can't be productive now! I guess I have to take a break or something.
"Now that my computer is out of commission, I can't do ANYTHING on it! I'm now forced to start doing everything else that I've been neglecting because I was doing all these IMPORTANT things on my computer! And things won't go back to normal for a WEEK! Whatever will I do..."
*packs away computer*
List of useless skills
Able to recite the Greek alphabet.
Able to prepare for a day trip in five minutes, an overnight trip in fifteen, and longer than that in thirty.
Able to fundamentally understand concepts within one class period.
Able to, given a song I've never heard, find an equivalent video game song before the original song has ended.
Able to count on my hands up to 1024 using binary. (note: don't ever stop at 4)
Able to find a book of the Bible in print before most people can open the app and type the name.
Able (but not always willing) to write walls of text on the spot.
Able to stream in class.
Might as well brag about these skills now, because either I'll never get a chance to use them, or no one cares when I do.
Sometimes I’m glad my friends will keep up a conversation without me, because I usually don’t have much to say.
Other times I hate it, because when I do have something to say, I can’t get a word in edgewise. And I usually only speak when I feel like I’m contributing to the conversation - which, again, isn’t very often.
It’s a double-edged sword, to be sure.
Digitized another maze! I chose an easy one so that I could familiarize myself with making them again.
This was made back for SMB's 25th anniversary. 30 is comin' up soon...
