Most Annoying People

There are some people in the world that drive me crazy.  This post is dedicated to them.  This isn’t an exhaustive list by any means, these are just the first ones that popped into my head.  In no particular order (except Nancy Grace):

1. Nancy Grace – My first, most annoying person is Nancy Grace.  She is without a doubt the most obnoxious, irritating person on TV and as far as I can tell, in the world.  I can’t stand her.  It’s a combination of things; it’s her voice, it’s her volatile, argumentative personality, it’s her permanent scowl and I think she just naturally gives off a bad vibe.  But it could be just me.

 

Paris Hilton/Britney Spears/Lindsay Lohan – They are a terrible trifecta of annoyance.  They might as well be the same person.  Any talent any of them have is completely eclipsed by their ridiculous antics and stupidity and the fact that the media is super-saturated with them.  I just don’t care.

 

Dr. Phil - I’m not sure what it is about him, but he just rubs me the wrong way.  He’s probably a good psychologist, but all I see when I see him on TV is a pretentious quack.  You barely have to be a psychologist to do what he does.  Which is evidenced by the multitude of non-professional self-help literature and personal gurus that exist today.  What do you really have to offer Phil?

 

Billy Mays – I don’t know how his style of selling became so successful, but some people must have liked it because he is constantly on TV, selling me everything from laundry detergent to cookware.  And sometimes it’s just too much.  Too much happy yelling about products I don’t care about.

 

Carrot Top – He just irritates me.  In the 90s he was a mediocre comedian who looked and sounded irritating.  Today he’s a mediocre comedian who looks like a body-building gargoyle and hangs out with Criss Angel.  I don’t know how he’s as popular as he is.

 

Mary Murphy – You’re on the “most annoying person” train!  If you’ve seen So You Think You Can Dance, you’ll know what I mean.  She screeches and cackles and has instantaneous mood swings and it becomes way too much very quickly.  She easily earns a spot on this list.

 

Sylvia Browne – I’ve written about good ol’ Sylvia before.  She’s old, sounds like she’s been smoking since she was five, wears too much makeup and she’s a psychic who preys on the gullibility of the masses.  She’s smug, too; like she knows she’s getting away with a huge scam.

 

George W. Bush – It hurts my soul a little bit to have to include the leader of one of the most powerful nations in the world on this list, but the truth hurts sometimes.  He annoys me so much.  He always has this “asleep-at-the-wheel” sort of demeanor that makes you wonder how he ever got in a position to wield so much power.  On the bright side, the political cartoons of him crack me up.

Ashlee Simpson – I have more talent in my pinky toe than little miss Simpson.  I think what’s so irritating about her is that she has had so much success, all while making repetitive, no-talent music that has all the qualities of a deadly virus – contagious and destructive without treatment.

 

Tom Cruise – He’s actually a pretty good actor, but he’s a wacko.  Why does he have to be so weird?  All the great movies he’s made are going to be overshadowed by his insanity.  In the movies he can act like a normal human being, why can’t he pull it off in real life?  Another waste of talent.
