Okay, seriously now...

So, I think it has now been proven that it is summer and our brains are protesting all serious thought. However, as we only have a week or so left before we must jump into full brain-power mode, perhaps we should at least put our big toe in the water (unless you chose to cut that one off). So here's a question. Someone at my grandparents church used the term "quasi-Church of Christ". Now I have no idea what exactly he meant because the conversation didn't really go on or have to do with that, but anyway, I immediately start to get defensive and ready to argue (in my head of course) Judgement and division and such in the church are a problem. Given. A lot of times when I encounter a person that I feel is being very close-minded and exclusive as far as church things go, I know that my personal reaction is to get kinda upset and feel like they are wrong. But...my judgement of what I perceive as judging could be just as equally wrong. So how do you go about differences of opinion and interpretation? And I must add just to be honest here, that I often don't really have a founded opinion on things, I simply argue the opposite of what people say when they are saying that only one thing is right. (i.e. instrumental music, expression in worship, etc.) Just thought this would be interesting to get everyone's thoughts on (yes i ended my post with a prepostion).

Total Rip-off of Mel's Post

Okay, so actually, this isn't a total rip-off. It's actually much less fun. But yeah, I just thought it would be interesting to know what annoys &/or makes you guys mad. Beyond the obvious curiousity, I though it would be nice to know this sort of thing before we were actually living together (so that some unnecessary arguments can be avoided). And for those of you that won't be pod-ites, I'm also interested in your response just because I'm horribly nosy.

1)People being condescending makes me mad.
2)Annoying/sleazy customers hitting on me at work makes me mad and annoys me.
3)People tailgating me annoys me (which is bad because I totally tailgate people too), and...
4)people cutting me off annoys me (I don't really do that though).
5)Having no time by myself makes me really cranky (and by that I mean somewhat evil), but I'm not usually the first to notice.
6)People being inconsiderate of other people's time annoys me and can make me mad if it happens a lot.

Umm. I'm out for the moment. So let me know your personal pet-peeves.
