ummmm, Rude.

I find myself saying the phrase... "um, rude" very often. I don't know how it happened but it did. There are many different reasons to use this phrase here in good ol' Py and many of my closest friends have started using it as well. It's really just a casual way of saying that we're frustrated or annoyed with something. It’s never something I say in front of anyone except my English speaking, PCV friends. Let me give you a few examples of why I (or any of my friends would use this phrase):

-it rained during the night, but then was perfectly sunny in the morning. Rude. (because now we are unable to bask in the glory that is the lazy, rainy day)

-it finally rained during the day but on the one day that I had something guapa planned, so no one shows up. Rude.

-having to do the hardest Insanity video. Rude. (aka Pure Cardio... that thing is death in video form)

-playing phone tag all day with my friends... rude. And very frustrating

-all of my electronics seem to die at the same time, every time. Rude.

-Jen refusing to visit me because of some guapa project she's doing. Rude. (granted it is our job, but these are just minor details ha)

-not eating a single thing that would resemble healthy food in days. Rude. (luckily, not my experience but it is very real for some PCVs)

-having to sit at a “fiesta” doing absolutely nothing for hours when I’d rather be reading or watching movies. Rude.

-realizing that mosquitos are the sneakiest jerks ever, you never realize you’re getting bit until you end up having literally 50 bites. Rude.

-having a drip in the ceiling that really isn’t a problem, except for the fact that it just so happens to drip every 2-3 minutes right next to my head when I'm trying to sleep. Rude.

-taking a shower and having to blow dry my hair every single time because if I don’t my hair literally will not dry...ever. Too humid. How rude. (and time consuming)

 

As you can see, most of these things are not actually rude at all, simply agitating. But anyways, that’s a little glimpse of some of my random annoyances. Hope you enjoyed!
