i was just thinking to myself
what's the fun of havin 10 good ways to deal with irritating people if...
you can't irritate them yourself.
as a result i came up with:

10 good ways to be an irritating person (trust me, i should know. i AM irritating)
1. keep bugging someone over a certain issue again and again.
2. after you've had a victory, rub it in. very hard.
3. speak with a constant underlying sneer in your voice.
4. if someone tries to make contact, simply look away with an expression of bored interest on your face and sigh at intervals.
5. if forced to do groupwork, laugh at their pathetic attempts to come up with a solution.
6. don't say anything unless absolutely needed. in spy lingo, it means "a grey man'.
7. adopt a practised look of long-suffering silence at all times.
8. shower them with thinly-veiled insults
9. groan and moan about the people around you. say something like, i'd rather die than have to endure this group of *descriptive adjective*
10. blatantly insult them and drive them crazy.

Episode III: Revenge of the XYZ supermarket
just yesterday i went to the XYZ supermarket to do some grocery shopping. It was hilariously funny.

I was sauntering by the aisles when I thought it might be interesting to get some peanut butter for some outrageous experiment. so I ambled down to the relevant section and got a shock. There were so many brands. Of peanut butter. But that wasn’t it. Immediately I saw a brand of peanut butter called … JIF. Isn’t JIF the previous name of a brand of detergent that’s called CIF??? You know the one with the really weird TV ads (but all TV ads are weird so never mind). Whatever. I got a rude shock anyway. Sad isn’t it that our lives have sunk to such a deplorable state.

That wasn’t all.

Following this, I walked a bit more and came to the rice section. I saw this: Royal Umbrella Fragrant Rice: $10.30. Thai Fragrant Rice: $7.30. The only other difference? Thai Fragrant Rice had XYZ supermarket’s label on it. Why would Thai Fragrant Rice be $3 cheaper? Then I had a dreadful thought. Maybe it was a secret conspiracy on the part of XYZ supermarket. Reverse psychology. Maybe Royal Umbrella Fragrant Rice and Thai Fragrant Rice are one and the same. So by purposely pricing one at $3 more, they entice customers into buying the $10.30 one because after all, Singaporean mentality is such: more expensive means better quality!

Most possibly and probably this “secret conspiracy” is all bosh and is a figment of my imagination. Well, let’s hope it is. If not, the consequences would be dire.
