Mackenzie – Yes! I love the implication that we all are characters in a fictional world, but this person on TV who has given himself/herself a nickname is representative of what it’s really like on Earth. Hysterical.

Jaci – These girls are also part of another group that may warrant their own blog post, which is girls that go out of their way to tell you how much they hate drama (which means they’re total drama Queens).

Girls who make a point to call themselves “low maintenence” or “the girl next door” usually aren’t.

This one irritates me to no end. It’s extremely popular on reality TV. Please don’t tell me you’re “real.” Like, ever. You’re “real” and I’m freaking pinnochio? I haaaate this.

I would add ‘super busy’ to the list.

We’re all busy. Stop trying to draw attention to yourself and the errands that you run.

Eric, good one, any statement followed up with “but”, usually ends poorly, but, maybe not, if it’s a nice butt?

This might not fit exactly with the pattern, but one of my old favorites is, “Look, I’m not racist, but [something horribly racist].”

Totally agree, anyone who calls himself a patriot has a 99% chance of also being an a-hole. I would add fun-loving to your list. People never seem to be able to accurately assess that about themselves.

“Articulate”. I once had a supervisor who prefaced everything with “I am a very articulate person”. I guess this was somewhat true, because I always figured out what she was saying, even if she did manage to use the word “onus” in every single sentence. Kudos to her though, she had the low cut shirt and supporting arguments.

Country Mama — Hilarious!

I would never call myself hilarious, however.
