The Rules:
- Write a list of things of which you are suspicious. Any number of them will do. Even the number 0 works. This is the first meme that can be done without even doing it. In fact, you're doing it right now.
- Include the list of rules, if you feel like it.
- Link back to the person who tagged you. Or not.
- Tag however many people you want to tag. You can skip this step.
- If you acted on rule four, leave comments on their websites to let them know that they have been tagged. This step is also completely optional.
- Feel fantastic.
OKAY.
now. what makes me suspicious?? in no particular order:
1. - Eye Contact that's right, eye contact. I don't mind having a conversation and making occaisional eye contact with you, but if you're the type of person who is staring me down the entire time, i start to wonder if you have a partner in crime who is helping you pick pocket the CRAP out of me. I want to look away,....but i can't!
2. - When i'm driving home and night, and there's that ONE car that is following me! I change lanes, it changes lanes. I turn left, it turns left. i start going through my list of nemeses to see who could possibly have it in for me, constantly watching the rearview mirror...ohhh lordy....it's still there, it's still following me! oh my god oh my god oh my-...oh. They just turned right? hm. i guess they weren't following me afterall.
3. - My doorbell. Why is it ringing? Am i expecting someone? who's outside? do i really have to open the door? cuz once i do - i've committed to talking to this person. i know off the bat it's one of a few things - the JW's, Politicians, Sports Teams Bottle Drives, or the Mormon Missionaries. Mostly, i dread talking to the missionaries - probably because i know what they're going to tell me before they say anything, so i have to find a polite way of cutting them off and telling them that a.) i know what they're all about, b.) i grew up mormon, c.) i don't go to church because i don't believe in religion, and c.) do you know the Bishop? you do? Yeah, that's my dad. that's always a fun moment, watching the realization sink in their 18 year old brains. i hate that doorbell.
4. - People who Give me Stuff for No Good Reason "Here, take it!" Why? What's wrong with it? What did you do to it? Are you trying to sell me something? What will happen when i take it? What do you expect from me? WHAT WHAT WHHAAAAAT!?!?!??
5. - Mechanics Until i married into B-rad's family (with plenty of mechanical minded men) there was NO WAY you could get me to talk to a mechanic, because i knew that if i did - they would take one look at my car covered in stickers, my hair in pigtails, and the amount of Beenie Babies in my back seat and charge me 4 Million Dollars to change my sparkplugs. Fuckers.
6. - Surprises i hate them. i'm the worst for surprises. When someone says: "You'll find out" or "Wait and see" i go berserk... what are plotting against me? How are you planning to make me look like a fool? when someone knowingly withholds information.... i just KNOW they're planning my demise.
7. - When people stop talking as i enter the room. it may be completely innocent and a result of perfect timing, but i still can't shake the feeling that you were JUST talking about me.
8. - Purchase Replacement Plans and Extended Warrantees why? what are you saying? that i'm purchasing a piece of junk? Also, should i end up using my extended warrantee, how will you manage to fuck me over....FUTURE$HOP!!!
9. - People who don't like Music yeah, have you met one of these people? You ask: "So, what kind of music do you listen to?" and they answer: "oh, i don't listen to music." GAH! They are the undead! Or Robots!! what the FUCK do you mean you don't listen to music?!? Have you no soul? seriously, i think these people have no souls.
10. - The words: "Can you Do me a Favour?" or "Are you Busy?" These phrases never end in something i want to do, but always leave me feeling like i have to do it.....so my suspicion lies in: "Why? Why can't YOU do it? Why do you want ME to do it??" Can i do you a favour - probably. Now i answer that with: "It depends entirely on what it is"... and as far as "Are you Busy?" well, i just hate that question all together because i'm either a.) really busy and i'm suspicious you will add to my 'to-do' list...or b.) i'm not busy because i just hauled ass to catch up on everything and now i'm suspicious you'll make me busy again.
11. - CheezeWhiz there are a lot of chemicals in plastic cheese....
12. - The SaskParty - what are they going to do to Fuck Up our province??
13. - People who are finished their Christmas Shopping by September...one word....Robots.

28 people love me:
Oh gosh, that was a good laugh. I thought I was the only one peeking through my curtains when the doorbell rings. If I want something, I will Go Get It Myself. You do not have to bring it to me. Especially if it's something I'm not inclined to purchase anyway. Especially if you were driving behind me last night...
alright, you had me at hello. I'll put this up on my site this weekend...... :)
I'll give it a go, but it may sound suspiciously like yours.
See what I did there?
Oh my goodness. After reading this, I realized that I am suspicious of ALL these things too. Except Cheeze Whiz...I fucking love cheese whiz. lol
Does this mean I need mental help?
You always crack me up, Diva dear, with your wonderful answers to these things! Love it! I will try and get my meme done in the next couple of days.
LOL @ B.E. Earl's comment too.
ie,
it was purely coincidence that i followed you for as long as i did, but don't worry, i turned at 9th and Clarence - so i wasn't actually following you.
Slyde,
i can't wait... i'm sure it'll be awesome
Earl,
very clever sir.
Abigail,
i never said i don't love Cheese Whiz, i just am very suspicious of it... like, will it survive a nuclear holocost? like Twinkies?
Teeni,
you're too kind. I can't wait to read your list.
and we all laugh @ B.E.Earl :D
I'm suspicious of you being suspicious of me and suspicions...
Actually it's kind of a dumb word of you repeat it over and over... It's going on the list with "smock"!
Whew! I did it and I didn't feel pressured or anything!
Hey wait a minute! You tricked me into doing it didn't you!!!??
Now I am suspicious of you!!! LOL
And isn't Cheez Whiz supposed to be like one ingredient away from being plastic?
You know what makes me suspicious: when someone messages me on Facebook and tells me to watch my mailbox.
Also, people who say "I listen to everything," when you ask what kind of music they're into are LIARS who inevitably will tell me to turn off whatever I'm playing because when they said "I listen to everything," they really meant "I listen to everything that gets played on heavy rotation on the commercial radio station(s) in my town."
I get suspicious when people have magical code that hides their masthead from me;)
To your point about music...what about those people who look at me like I AM WIERD because I read books!!!
paige,
SMOCK SMOCK SMOCK SMOCK SMOCK!!!
Evil Pink Cupcake,
i don't know what you're talking about.... ::Shifty eyes::
MIka,
watch the mail... DO IT!!
and i feel the same way about that "I listen to everthing..." i used to say that, but it would go like this: "I listen to everything, except mainstream country, Hip Hop, Gangsta Rap, Nickelback and all their followers,....etc etc etc" eventually, i figured it was easier to just say what i ACTUALLY listened to. The list is quite a bit shorter.
witchypoo,
i'm working on it. It's sad, cuz she's SUCH a cute little pinup.
I am so with you on number 13! One of my biggest pet peeves.
Happy T13!
This is an intriguing list! I'm afraid I don't have a suspicious bone in my body, to a fault, perhaps. :) Happy Thanksgiving!
Great list, and a good diversion from the '13 things I'm thankful for' lists which seem to be the norm today.
I'm suspicious of people who all have the same idea at exactly the same time...what does that say about me, that I had exactly the opposite idea, behind my door, as they were ringing my doorbell to stop talking as soon as I open it?!
Happy TT!
Cheez Whiz is wonderful on a Philly. Yes, it too makes me suspicious, but some things are better left to the imagination.
Happy TT!
That's a hilarious meme, and I have to say ya I'm suspicous of some of those things too!! Happy TT!
Excellent meme, loved it, loved it!!
I don't like surprises either, they are no fun!
Happy TT :)
You cracked me up! More than just a little paranoia..I suspect. Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for stopping by.
Someone tried to sell me a warranty for a $20 tape recorder once. I think the warranty was about 25% of the actual product price. ;)
I was involved in four TTs this week:
http://www.ravensroads.com/index.php/tt13-summary/
That's a fun meme! I'm with you on some of those, esp. people who don't listen to music!
Thanks for visiting my random TT. I'm looking forward to exchange postcards with you!
Cheez Wiz is the devil;) I haven't even started Xmas shopping!
Man, that was so FUNNY. I so agree with you about people who don't like music....though I never thought about the explanation (the undead, heee hee hee).
I also agree with you about cheese in a can. Someone gave us a can four years ago...it's still there, still unopened..I've grown quite afraid of it.
thanks for visiting ours!
Just because you're paranoid, it doesn't mean people aren't out to get you!
I don't care for music very much. I suppose I'm a robot.
I am SO with you on #11! They call it "cheese food." I'm over 21. I can be trusted with the hard stuff, the real cheese, thank you. (And thanks for visiting my TT)
adelle,
yes, only Robots have their shopping done already.
nancy,
sometimes i think how nice it would be to be free of my paranoia, but then i think my blog would probably get kinda boring. lol.
michelle,
yeah, i see what you're saying... i also get suspicious of couples who say the same thing at the same time.... but then, b-rad and i do that quite a lot...hmmm....perhaps the hubby is a robot?
Cajunvegan,
i'm not knockin' the cheeze... it's damn tasty...but suspicious...
amy,
it was kinda fun but now i'm all paranoid.
mar,
thanks, i don't mind some surprises, but i hate it when someone lets on that they know something and i don't.
greattfullivin,
thanks!! sometimes i crack me up too...
"More than just a little paranoia..i suspect" wait - what do you mean by that?? ::shifty eyes::
linda,
yeah, the completely useless warrantees crack me up... it's just a money grab... and they their products are crap.
tink,
i look forward to your postcard~ and i swear those people who don't like music have no souls. perhaps they are robots too.
Napwarden,
Cheese Whiz is definately suspicious, and Christmas Shopping should be started sometime in december. good on ya.
damozel,
thanks! it's nice to be loved :D
Cheeze in a can, sounds lovely. :P
nicholas,
you are a robot.
the gal,
your comment cracked me up - "I'm over 21. I can be trusted with the hard stuff, the real cheese, thank you"
The hard stuff, Yeah!!
About non-music lovers, I know. I was shocked when I found out that there are people out there who don't love music the way I do. I mean... how do they LIVE???
Happy TT a day late...
oh my gosh - I almost forgot about this! Forgive me Diva! I'm getting to work on it and should post within the next day or two. My apologies. Oh my - how did I get so far behind on everything? No more getting colds for me!!! ;)
