Things That Annoy Me

Picture From Here
The first thing that annoys me are shoes!

NEGATIVE=Everytime you grow, the shoes don't fit. If it rains, the shoes absorb the water and make your feet wet. If they rip, rocks get into your shoe. They sometimes give you athlete's foot.

POSITIVE=They protect your feet.

The second thing that annoys me is the sound a straw makes when the cup is almost empty.

NEGATIVE=It drives me insane! It hurts my brain! Even when the container is empty, it still makes that sound!

POSITIVE= It tells you its time to get a new drink.

The third thing that annoys me are spiders!

NEGATIVE=Some are poisonous, most bite, and all look scary.

POSITIVE=They eat flies and other bugs.

The fourth thing that annoys me is static electricity!

NEGATIVE=It scares me when it happens. It makes the part that got shocked itch.

POSITIVE=It shocks the other person too.

The fifth thing that annoys me are nosy people!

NEGATIVE=They want to know everything that happened and tell a lot of people about it.

POSITIVE=You can find out stuff easily.

BR: Last Bell Ringer

On the last bell ringer I used Blogger. I chose this program because I'm not used to all of the others, except PowerPoint. I enjoyed getting to choose what I was allowed to work on. It was more fun being able to choose what I got to work. I honestly wouldn't have changed anything about it. It was very interesting.
