Definition of Notorious (according to the Merriam Webster online dictionary):
generally known and talked of; widely and unfavorably known.
We don’t have to be celebrities or be splashed out in front of a tabloid to have some sort of notoriety. Everybody has something they are “unfavorably” known for... you know, that one embarrassing or bad thing you do so consistently that your name is forever linked to it. Yes, we are all notorious for something (now, please read this with tongue in cheek...we are not talking extreme notoriety here)...
This is what I’m notorious for...I’m laying it all out on the table for you...
*Never trying on clothes at a store...I just buy them and hope for the best!
*Cutting up half of something (let’s say a donut) because “I won’t eat it all” , THEN going back and looking for that second half.
*Bumping into stuff and knocking them down (especially when I go shopping)...with my cart, with my behind, with my klutzy hands...
*Having a short term memory...I can say something one minute, then forget what I said a minute later.
*Having a really bad sweet tooth...I can have a full stomach from a good dinner, but for some odd reason, I STILL find room for desert...
*Using “umm” too much when I speak.
*Needing something to be repeated to me at least once since my mind tends to wander off a few times a day.
*Using too much umm (see how I used “ummm”?)...toilet tissue...I need to curb that.
*Abandoning a glass of water when it gets even the slightest bit warm.
(Okay, okay, the above 2 show I need to be more environmentally aware...sigh)
*Being a bit of a germphobe...Can you imagine how I reacted when I learned of the bird flu...(If I could, I’d run out to get a box of Tamiflu).
*Eating slow...actually, I never thought I did, until family and co-workers pointed it out to me.
*Not speaking up or complaining enough when I get bad service...other people get so annoyed, they sometimes speak up for me.
*Waiting until the last minute to do my taxes...people don’t understand why I do it....a bit of procrastinating perhaps?
Well, here is my list....I’m sure you readers out there are notorious for something as well, aren’t you....
