He high-fives everyone! He says, "Are we having fun yet?" He talks in a fake Jamaican accent!
  • annoying people are everywhere

    I'm not really sure what the 'people on TV are like people in the real world now' answer was all about. Probably because I too, do not know Colin.

    I do know annoying people though. A lot of them! Turns out people who are annoying (to varying degrees) can be found anywhere! It isn't necessarily about media saturation (although I agree that people on the media are pretty damn annoying as well.) I think it is more about people saturation.

    The truth is you are stuck working with this person. You can't escape them. Half the reason they annoy you so is no doubt the knowledge that you can not escape them. But maybe you should take a moment to consider YOU are so annoyed by them. I don't mean catalouge the many behaviours exhibited by this person that are annoying. I mean think about what is it about YOU that finds this person so aggravating. Sometimes identifing that aspect of yourself helps you deal with and get by with being less annoyed.

    Sometimes you just have to laugh at the absurdity of it all.

    People are dumb! They don't know how to walk! They don't know how LOUD they are. They don't know that they need not broadcast their mobile phone conversation to the train! They don't know how to count, talk, spell, eat with their mouths shut! Its a miracle we all haven't killed eachother by now! But... we haven't.

    Mostly because we learn how to ignore, put up with, or laugh at other people. Stop letting this man get under your skin. Theres no need for it! You've set yourself up to be more annoyed by him... you start to look for the behaviours that annoy you... there it is! That Jamacian accent again! God, how I hate this guy! But really, who cares? So hes inept. So he does dumb accents. Get over it. It shouldn't affect you so much.
