Pity most those of us who are annoying and know it. We can't go hide in the bathroom to get a break from ourselves. I've tried to be non-annoying, but it never lasts long. I try to make up for it to my friends and family by never replacing the word "like" for "said", never telling people about the weirdest dream I had last night and never quoting song lyrics conversationally, no matter how relevant they may seem. I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do.
