I made this list of "pet peeves" when I couldn't fall asleep one night. These are some of the annoying little things that I find myself clenching my teeth at. Nothing heavy. Read on.
- Men who refer to their wives as "the wifely person" or women who refer to their husbands as "hubbies"
- People who complain about the weather. "Too hot. Too cold. Too windy. Too sunny. Too snowy. Too icy. Too humid. Too wet. Too dry."
- School functions
- "I'll call you." (Translated: "Go rot in a ditch.")
- Pseudo-deepness (example: when someone tries to sound profound, and does that thing where they switch two words in a phrase to create a new, "thought-provoking" sentence, like "you must control your fear before your fear controls you.")
- Most advertisements, especially the Taco Bell and Dentyne Ice commercials
- Assemblies/pep rallies
- Any noises people make in large crowds: whooping, whistling, and obnoxious cheering among them
- Gum, especially...
- ...gum that's stuck under my desk, and I accidently touch it
- ...gum that's on the floor and gets stuck to my shoe
- ...when I notice it in someone's mouth at all; either audibly or through sight (if someone is smooth enough to chew gum and I don't notice it, or they're very discreet about it, then I don't really care, although I've only met a few people able to pull that off)
- People behind me who kick my seat
- Cat owners who don't shut up about their pet
- Public displays of affection
- Anything McDonald's
- Preps and everything they say/do/wear
- Anti-preps and everything they say/do/wear
- The media
- The girl next to me in physics class with the scratchy voice and a laugh that sounds like a struggling car motor
- A lot of songs, including "I Try," "Kiss Me," "3 A.M." and a million others that are excruciatingly painful to listen to
- The girl with the annoying nasal laugh in my government class
- Every fathomable aspect of Shakespeare class
- People who don't use turn signals. I personally hate this because I walk a lot during the summer, and I've crossed intersections where I didn't expect the car to turn (no signals) and then they honk and try to run me over. Stupid hos.
- Most of the radio dj's
- Clothes that have "TOMMY GIRL" or "GAP" or any other visible advertising printed on it. I'd feel like a tool wearing that, and I don't understand how anyone could be enough of a sucker to pay to wear an advertisement
- The way I put every "word" in "quotes"
- When people from Ireland tell me how I am a failed product of the American Educational System
- Tight clothes on overweight girls
- The girl who steps on my backpack in math. It's okay, I purposely go to the front of the room and get kleenex just for the cheap thrill of walking on her purse.
- When people don't shutup during tests or lectures or in the library
- People who owe me money, or pretend I never loaned it to them in the first place (grrr....)
