buttons

In a bid to understand herself better, my female owner started to wonder what her “red buttons” are, i.e. what gets on her nerves. She spent a while thinking about it and couldn’t really generate much results. Either she is so detached that there is nothing anyone can do to irritate her, or she does not really know herself very well. Since she is quite a grouch, the former must not be true, lending support that she needs to embark on a journey of self-discovery.

Let me try to help her out.

People who don’t keep their promises, especially the important ones.

People (especially working adults) who borrow money and conveniently forget to return.

People who do not treat their parents respectfully or take care of them.

People who inform five minutes after the set meeting time that they would be late, or worse still, still at home at the prearranged meeting time.

People who bring along other people for social gatherings without first informing the rest (unless it is an open gathering).

People who ill-treat animals (of course!)

People who are not ready or make drivers wait when they are being picked up from their homes.

People who ask close-ended questions majority of the time (this must be an occupational hazard).

Guys who are gentlemanly only to the gal they are chasing.

Gals who put on too much make-up or act cute or uses a cute voice excessively or act like a damsel in (fake) distress.

Ah.. the list goes on. For such people, my female owner tends to minimise social contact.
