Top Ten Ways to Piss Off a Writer


1) Tell them you don’t vote.

2) Remove them from a social media page they started.

3) Ask them to admit AWP is just schmoozing and they LOVE it.

4) Break the copy machine at their crappy job.

5) Be the copy machine at the crappy job.

6) Talk incessantly about how worthwhile a Community College certificate in the medical field is nowadays.

7) Tell them you gave up writing “stories” to go into advertising. OK...you might've been right. But we're still pissed!!

8) Ask, “So, you like, hangout at coffee shops a lot, huh?” As a matter of fact, ass hat, I do!

9) Send them links to lists like “Top Degrees for Making Money.” Yeah, we know writing isn’t one of them.

10) Tell dinner guests that MFA stands for “More Fries, Anyone?”

  2. Haha, very nice. And I'm only the part-time writer (who wishes I had enough guts to be like you guys and just FREAKING COMMIT!). Tell that to them. :)
