Look For These Characteristics Of Nudges…

As we’ve made our way through the alphabet, we’ve talked about some pretty annoying people so far, but nudges may be the worst because working with them gives you the feeling that you never left home. Of course, if you miss the love your mom used to shower on you, it’s nice to have them around….until you realize why you left home in the first place.

While there does seem to be some disagreement over how to pronounce the word — some say it rhymes with “fudge,” others say it has the ou sound in “could” — there’s no disagreement on one thing, you really don’t want such a person near you, especially if they have these characteristics.

It doesn’t matter what you’re wearing. They really can’t stop themselves. The best answer we’ve found is, “Yes. And I’ll buy more of the same type of outfit just to annoy you.” What are they going to do, spank you?
