Vent: Pray/Headnod
If there’s one thing that gets me, it’s pretension. Not to say I haven’t had my own moments of extreme pretension (Mrs. Marinoni, my 8th grade english teacher, described my writing as “elitist and esoteric”), but let me vent about a pretentious affect I’ve witnessed recently.

I hate it when people say goodbye with a little prayerful hand motion and a headnod. Even worse is when they make the little prayer hands, headnond, and then sort of extend their prayerhands toward the people they’re parting from, in a “blessing to you, my child” gesture. Perhaps one who is truly enlightened is permitted the luxury of looking like a pompous faux-spiritualist, but the truly enlightened would probably just wave, knowing that a little “look, aren’t I spiritual?” praying gesture blessing your friends goodbye is a STUPID FUCKING THING TO DO.

Ok, had to get that out. *sigh* Much better now. Excuse my intolerance, it slips out sometimes.
