I try really hard to not become irritated easily.

Really, I do try. But, I am not patient. I have never been patient, and I probably never will be patient. Sometimes, I don't understand why things exist or why people do certain things that they do. Things annoy me, some more than others.

11 of the things that annoy me more than anything (in no particular order):

1. Mosquitos.

My only question I have for mosquitos is why. Why do you exist? Why do you bite me and leave nasty bumps? Why do you carry disease and cause chaos? Don't feed me that stuff about the food chain, because I simply do not want to hear it.

2. Getting a paper cut.

Why is my skin tough enough to fight off germs, but always freaks out when it touches the corner of my homework. I don't understand why the first line of defense against disease is just so weak. Evolution, step up.

3. Slow walkers.

I'm not talking about people who walk slowly because they cannot move any faster. I'm talking about the texting and walking, taking up the whole sidewalk with your friends, and the slow because I'm staring at the sidewalk or at my surroundings. It's really just inconsiderate.

4. People who chew with their mouth wide open and accompany it with nasty noise.

I do NOT need to hear and see every stage of your digestive process, please and thank you.

5. Spam emails.

I will never open them, regardless of how good the sale in the headline might sound. This "fantastic" weekly/monthly/annual sale will sit next to the other thirty thousand emails crowding up my inbox.

6. Pre-salted fries.

Excuse me, not everyone has the same fry-to-salt ratio preference. If there's too much salt, there is NOTHING you can do about it.

7. Straws that aren't bendy.

Sit there and do a balancing act to 1. Keep my drink up and 2. Actually drink out of my drink? No, thanks. Slanting the straw just doesn't work sometimes. I need the bendy straw.

8. People on their phones in checkout lines.

You're not moving forward when the person in front of you is done. You are ignoring the cashier who is trying so hard to smile at you and ask you how your day is. You look rude. Just stop.

9. When you finally get comfortable and realize you have to pee.

That spot is NOT going to be as comfortable if you get up, if you can even find it. Your bladder has definitely betrayed you.

10. Back of the knee sweat.

Nothing is being cooled down by sweating there. Why does the back of my knee need such heavy regulation?

11. People who don't hold doors/People who don't say thank you for holding a door.

APPARENTLY manners don't exist.
