CindyH via Facebook: My five-year-old niece enjoyed her first few days of kindergarten, with one notable exception: her deskmate Timmy. “Why don’t you like Timmy?” ”Because he LICKS the desk!” There you have it. My new word for people who annoy me: desk licker. I’d like to ask: Question: What do you call people who annoy you?

Question: You can answer Cindy’s question — if it’s suitable for a family friendly blog: What do you call people who annoy you? Or you can opt for this one: Any memories from your first day of school?
