Top 5 Irritating/Frustrating Things That Can Happen To You Like It Happened To Me

Post no. 901.

Gawd I need a life.

I am generally, a well-mannered, good-tempered, kind, benevolent and at times, very cute eligible bachelor. But I have times when I get so irritated/frustrated that I'll flip the mahjong table if one is in front of me.

8 Days magazine have their Top 50 annoying things, here are my Top 5 Irritating/Frustrating Things That Can Happen To You Like It Happened To Me.

Play songs from Cyndi; and I assure you, the newer the song, the bigger reaction it generates.

WHY? One second her new song came onto air; the next the mahjong table, with tiles intact mind you, is already well on its way to the radio.

Have the voice actor for Ah-Wang mumble beside your ear for one whole hour WITHOUT Ah-Wang's cute acting.

WHY? There were approximately 27,985 times when I nearly threw the remote at the TV while watching Ah-Wang but didn't because he did something cute. And yes, lo-po zai in Mandarin is the main irritant.

Turn up the volume every weekday at 9PM to listen to random people singing 哈哈哈哈, 叭叭叭叭 and 呵呵呵呵. Try the commercials when it comes out twice if you can't get 'nuff of it.

WHY? 哈 your 爸 la kan-nin-na. Even that sounds nicer.

When mahjong-ing: You are listening with max tai. Everyone knows you're waiting for tong-zi. One smart-alec calls everyone else to break up their tiles to stop me. Then THAT smart-alec wins the game.

WHY? Because THAT smart-alec won with max tai also; and you randomly pick up the next tile you would've been drawing if the smart-alec didn't win, only to realise that is your to-be-自摸-ed winning tile. Thanks.

When mahjong-ing: You had a choice between 5-bamboos and 6-bamboos to listen to(听牌 la, if you're too dense to catch that). You chose 5-bamboos and threw 6-bamboos.
In all glorified mannerisms, joy of the nation and honour of Alexander the Great*, the ass on your left, bastard on the right and the idiot opposite you(ass, bastard and idiot are all referring to imagined characters, not Kai Quan, Chee Wee and Wei Liang ) all flipped their tiles open with lightning quick reflexes and thunder out in unison: HU.

WHY? HU the hell on Earth can be sooo damn sway as to having to choose between 2 tiles and one of it just needs to be the Destined One(articulated with high, dramatic echo) that is the key to the legendary One-Cannon-Three-Sounds**(articulated with even higher and dramatic echo)? Ok la, I know it's Good Friday when Jesus sacrificed himself and later taught the world that gambling is a vice, but he didn't have to prove it so quickly what.**

And here we have it, my Top 5 Irritating/Frustrating Things That Can Happen To You Like It Happened To Me.

I must reiterate and remind you though, that I'm usually well-mannered, good-tempered, kind, benevolent and at times, cute; which also explains why 8 Days have 50 and I only have a mere 5.

So, I have mine, do you have your own Top 5 Irritating/Frustrating Things That Can Happen To You Like It Happened To Me?

*Absolutely nonsense; the sentence is as such because I felt like it.

**一炮三响, in mahjong terms meaning all 3 players had been waiting for the same tile to win.

***Wei Liang said that actually, not my creative, shockingly.
