“Milo and I have this drinking game about Beth: every time she annoys me, we drink.She annoys me alot.”

“You can't be disgusting to people just because they annoy you!" she exclaimed very crossly. "Thousands of people annoy me! Millions of people annoy millions of people all the time! . . . You have to put up with them.”

“She gave me the jabs and said I was covered for every worst-case scenario, including being bitten by a dirty chimp. I told her this is why we have over-population problems. Why are idiots who annoy dirty chimps being protected?”

“My wife said to me recently that she hates couples who finish each other's sentences for them. I agreed that it was annoying, but it made me think that perhaps we were missing out on something, so now every time she says anything, I say 'full stop' at the end. I have been doing it for a full week now, and it has really kept the romance alive.”

“Have a little faith in me, Volger.""I have great faith, tempered with vast annoyance.”

“It seems rather prophetic. We were just joking about this the other day.""I know. Fate has annoying timing.”
