The Most Annoying Couple

A few weeks ago my lovely fiance wrote a sweet and friendly blog in which she stated her reasons for loving me. (probably because of the many concerned people who keep asking her why she would say yes to me) I thought it was so cute and very reasonable! But there was something that was posted by Ty that I would like to quote from and then reply to. Ty said...

"Maybe we should start to have most annoying couple contests. I nominate Drew and Kristen as the reigning champions!"

Although the reasons for making such a statement were never specified, I wish to respond to it in a kind and gracious manner so as to not annoy or offend any of the parties to be mentioned... And by the way Ty you are wrong, you are dead wrong!! So I am going to make my list of the most annoying couples in the family and I will state a least one supporting reason for why.

I should also mention one other well researched and documented scientific fact, and that is that annoyingness is inherently a male trait. It is noted that a female can begin to take upon themselves some of the "annoyingness" characteristics displayed by her male counterpart, but this would only be an offshoot of him and would not be of her own making. Therefore a female is innocent of any kind of annoyingness and should not be held accountable for her male partners faults. (Ty you better lay off dude cause your stepping on thin ice) So although I will be mentioning couples to meet the demands of Ty's "most annoying couple contest", the "annoyingness traits" that I will associate with the couple will only be directed at the male.

I would like to start at the least annoying and work my way to the grand champion.

#7- I think there will be little argument on Drew and Kristen being the least annoying. Both are sweet and kind to all and despise confrontation. A person would be hard pressed to find anything annoying with these two angels.

#6- This may be biased because of the help that they gave to me yesterday on a project for school, but with their musical talents and cute little boy, very little can be said about their annoyingess. It is noted that Jeff has had sputs like "man thats the bomb" shortly after his mission and "of course" but those faults seem to have been smoothed out by his near perfect companion Angie. Cal is doing a lot of good as well.

#5- Although accustomed to a rant here or a rave there, Matt and Wendi seem to have found a balance that makes Matt much more bearable. But with that said, it is also important to note that Matt's outbursts are usually justified and well supported, but nevertheless still quite annoying. Thank you Wendi for moving him down the list.

#4- Mark and Liz are one of the greatest couples that I know, but Mark just doesn't seem to want to go any lower on this list. I have noticed a new degree of annoyingness that wasn't noticed before in Mark and that is what I refer to the "G.O.A.T. disease". If you are not sure what that stands for just read his blogs and posts or go to the fantasy football league and you will find it there. Also, it is so annoying seeing the Worland Warriors at the top of the league. There can only be one G.O.A.T. Mark, and it sure ain't you.

#3- He may not be married but Adam comes in as strong a canidate as I've seen in a while with his cereal eating and nose itching ways. If you have never experienced it then just eat a bowl of Honey Nut Cherrios next to him and you will know what I mean. Enough said.

#2- This was a hard call. #1 and #2 were so close but because of the addition of Dana while I was away, Ty and Dana now occupy the #2 spot. This annoyingness is almost allusive at times. It is hard for me to put a finger on it, but I know that it is there. Just the very fact that I had to write this blog is a testament to the reality of it.

#1- Even with the help of his wonderful wife (who I might add is perfect in every way), this man seems to be off the charts of measured annoyingness. From his fake injuries ("oh my back"), to his playing the role of a martyr ("what am I, chopped liver"), all the way to his depressing outlook on life ("We are in a world or hurt") dad seems to top the chart in every category possible. He may be a good man, which nobody is disputing, but he is one heck of an annoying good man.

There you have it. Megan would be right up there in the mix but I decided to leave her off the list. In fact she might be able to take it all, but she is not yet looking to become a couple so that disqaulifies her from joining the "most annoying couple contest" like Adam did. I hope that everyone will look at this and realize how undeserving my beautiful fiance and I are of the title "the most annoying couple" and I also hope that each of us will take time to congratulate the now reigning champion. Way to go Dad, you've worked hard for it. You really do deserve it. My hats off to you.
