Things that Make You Go *Headdesk*
(If you’re internet-uninitiated and don’t have an immediate visual for “headdesk” then go run an image search.)
We all have things that drive us to that point of cranium-meets-office-furniture. Some big, some small. And once in a while, you need to vent about those headdesk moments.
Here are a few I’ve come across lately:
- Idiots who start wildfires. Yeah, sometimes they’re started by lightning. Sometimes they’re started by accidents that are honestly out of anyone’s control. But it seems like lately it’s a lot of target shooting or fireworks in obviously unwise areas. (It’s a desert, people. Have a clue.)
- Misspellings of “definitely,” such as definately or definatly. (Yeah, I’m illustrating the full range of *headdesks* from significant to trivial.) While we’re at it, mix-ups of rein/reign. If you’re out of control, someone needs to rein you in. If someone’s ruling you, they’re reigning over you.
- People who argue/talk back to judges on reality/talent shows. Especially on Hell’s Kitchen when Gordon Ramsay tells a chef to get out and they argue that they want to stay. Haven’t they seen the show before? When he says go, you just go.
That’s probably more than enough for one day.
How about you? What’s made you go *headdesk* lately? Go ahead and vent. Sometimes you just have to.
