THAT girl

You hear before you even see her. She's projecting her conversation to the entire room. She name dropping indy/hipster or political jargon like it's her job.  When you are done rolling your eyes, you look. She's either wearing a small holister t-shirt and silver jeans or is attempting to dress up and those kitten heels aren't fooling anyone.  The hair is almost always short and helmet-like or long and wild. Something about this girl just drives you mad. You can't quite put your finger on it, or perhaps you don't have enough fingers to put on all the things that bother you.

This is just the first impression. If you haven't been able to identify her yet, just wait for the teach to ask the first question.  Anytime the teacher hints at a question, a joke, or a brief moment of silence she HAS to speak. No question will go unanswered thanks to this superstar. She knows everything about everything. When she's not brown-nosing, she's talking about some subject that absolutely no one cares for but can't avoid thanks to her loud, nasal voice. You might find yourself imagining her being hit by a bus ala Regina George style. I know that's one of my favorites. Don't judge, you do it too.

So my question is, why is there always THAT girl? At one point do they wake up and say, "Hey from now on, I'm going to bug the sh*t out of everyone." Or does their upbringing foster this behavior. Did THAT girl and THAT guy end up getting married and procreating annoying kids? Or were they once teased and decided to get even by being the thorn in everyone's paw?  Can they not help that they are miserable? Even better, are we THAT girl to them? What makes normal and what makes annoying? Will their behavior at one point be considered the norm, and mine annoying?
Something to ponder....

Whatev, I'm still going to roll my eyes.
