You Irk Me Things That Irk or Annoy Us

So you are in New York City and it is raining; it doesn’t even have to be raining that hard just a little drizzle and almost everyone you encounter has an umbrella. The street peddlers that you normally see on the street corner selling purses and scarfs are now standing there yelling “Brella, brella, brella.” It works; because everyone in the city is carrying an umbrella. Even when someone has to take five simple steps from the front of their office building to the cab; they have an umbrella.

Now I would have no problem with this if people paid attention. Most umbrellas also have the pointy metal ends on them and when someone who is carrying one is not paying attention it can hurt someone else. Now I have seen people walking with their umbrellas down in front of their face; how are you supposed to see the people you are walking at? Oh I get it they are just supposed to move out of your way and let you keep going along, not paying attention, and ready to stab someone with the end of your umbrella. Then there is the person who likes to swing their umbrella they are completely not paying attention and they are definitely going to hit someone as well; I have actually been stabbed in the leg by someone swinging their umbrella back and forth.

Bottom line people must know how wicked they are; these types of people irk me, there is no need for an umbrella unless it is down pouring. So brella, brella, brella stop buying them. Oh and by the way when it is windy out they are just going to blow inside out.
