100 Things that Annoy Me

When writing this… I definitely noticed a few themes. When I wrote this list, I did so in a stream of consciousness – I did not think of 100 different things that annoyed or bother me, but rather thought of my number one pet peeve and thought of other annoyances that are related to the previous one. Not only am I completely hypocritical (me being / doing some of the things on this list) but I do not take into any personal reasons for why people do these things. But I did learn a few things from this list; mostly that I just really don’t like people, but I also want to point out that I think it’s really annoying when people say “they hate people”, so there’s an example there.

I also kind of realized that many of my topics loop. I started off with hating people to hating the way our world works, only to come right back to people. I’ve also come to realize that it seemed almost too easy for me to list 100 things that annoy me, and for that, maybe I really need to chill out! I also did attempt to be slightly humorous when writing this, so do take into account that i'm not 100% serious with some of these.
