Charlie covering his ears
Two annoying girls moved into the apartment above me.
I'm forced to hear every dumb thing they say.
These are my letters to them.

“He kept saying his name instead of using ‘I’. What’s that called again? Same person? Talking person?” 3rd person (Charlie sighs).

    well SOMEONE obviously never paid attention in grades sixth and up…

    …screw it, I bet they didn’t pay attention at all.

    … AND FIRST.

  2. Aly says:

    dang… so close to being first. I love these girls, they make me feel so smart :)

  3. Amber says:

    Lmao. Talking person… Oh boy.

  4. Taurie says:

    Taurie feels slight pity for these girls.

  5. Louisa says:

    I read this and just facepalmed.

    I love the fact that they know someone who refers to themselves in third person. In what situation is it ever acceptable other than for humour?

  6. Katie says:

    I love you Charlie, this site makes me smile everyday :D

  7. Sandra says:

    I get way too sad on the days you don’t post :/

  8. Leila says:

    LOL oh my goodness!!! I just chocked a little bit on my salad. “talking person”??? Well, yes, he was talking. At least they recognize that it was third person even though they didn’t know what it was called.

    Jersey person

    I just want to know how Charlie stops laughing long enough to be able to write this blog! :)

    • Charlie McDowell says:

      I’ve become numb to them. I’m glad people find them amusing though!

  11. Lovesick Leopard says:

    *facepalm* Talking person?! Really?! This is just killing my inner grammar nazi!

  12. Luna Lovegood says:

    Charlie, you better post on my birthday beacuse last year it was a sunday. :(((( July 18

  13. Alex says:

    Alex, as a writer, is thoroughly ammused by this post. She wonders if the girls have written anything other than a Facebook status. Alex also hopes that Charlie had a good birthday and got some awesome presents. :)

    This reminds me of my ninth grade year. My friends and I decided to have a game where, in certain class rooms, you could only talk in a specific way. My algebra classroom was third person, but you had to end every sentence with “in accordance to the prophesy.” I wonder what they would say if the met someone who did that…

    • ThatThingOverThere says:

      I had an entire day in which I ended every one of my sentences with “In accordance to the prophesy”. I usually mumbled it, and I got so many stares that day… ((First-time poster, by the way, but long time reader and comment lurker.))

    • Misty says:

      One day, after every sentence I said, I said afterward, “I do declare.”

      • Smudge says:

        Another fun one to say after every sentence; “…in accordance with the prophecy.”

    • Ocean Love says:

      My friends and I like to play the “in my pants game” at lunch. Yes, we are horribly immature.

  15. David says:

    wow i feel stupid… i JUST now understood the “(charlie sighs)” thing… its purposly in 3rd person… *facepalm*

    • Haley says:

      haha i just realized it when i read your comment. omg i’m as stupid as these girls.

  16. Haley says:

    charlie do you ever just look up at your ceiling and wonder how these girls manage to not die everyday?

  17. Robert says:

    Robert loves talking randomly in third person. His friend once ordered food at a fast food place entirely in third person; it was rather hilarious.

    • angel says:

      angel occasionally talks in the 3rd person too. Some moment just calls for the 3rd person reference don’t they? Angel wishes that she was there when Robert’s friend ordered food in the 3rd person. Should be funny, even if it’s just to see the reactions of the counter staff.

      On another note, somebody needs to tell the girls what is the correct term for what they are thinking of. Will you be the one to do it Charlie?

  18. GreatCthulhu says:

    Wow. This is quite amusing. These girls have just qualified for a position in South African parliament.

    Thanks Charlie. Everyday I get to the office with a big grin on my face.

  19. catgirl101 says:

    I really want to know where these girls went to school.

    but kudos to them for knowing that the person was talking in 3rd person.

  20. Ria says:

    Long time reader, first time commenter^^ I think it’s hilarious they know someone who talks in 3rd person. What kind of people DO they hang out with??

  21. Philip says:

    You like confusing people, so you talk to yourself in second person!

    • Batty says:

      Phillip had you confused until you remembered second person was using the word ‘you’. You are now scared of turning into the girls. You proceed to hide in a corner for the next hour. :)

  22. Ocean Love says:

    This makes me feel so sad for the poor, abused English language.

  23. Sarah F says:

    Sometimes these girls make me want to punch a baby :/

  24. Mea-chan says:

    Mea-chan is deeply conflicted with this statement. On one hand she was confused as to what Charlie was referring to and on another she deeply loves speaking this way and does it often to annoy her family and friends.

  25. U.N.Owen says:

    Rodger R. Rodgers IV is saddened by this.

  26. Macy says:

    Haha. I see what you did there…

  27. Random Punmaster says:

    The lawyer had trouble with the fine print on some documents, so his doctor suggested contract lenses.

  30. Bailey says:

    I was reading some of these, and I honestly didn’t think I could lose more faith in humanity, especially to know that they’re female and giving fellow females, like myself, a bad name. What the fuck ever, I suppose. It’s not like we’re not used to it by now.
    Nevermind…
    everyone sucks.
    Best regards to you….
