Everyone has their quirks, and they’re entitled to them. Maybe I have too many pet peeves, but I can’t help the things that bother me. There are just some things that make my skin crawl and my patience fly out the window.
1. Slow walkers
If you have somewhere to go, walk with a purpose for the love of my sanity. If you're out for a stroll, don't stroll in the middle of the sidewalk in everyone's way.
2. Chewing with your mouth open
You sound and look disgusting. I don't know why no one ever taught you to close your mouth.
3. People who are late
If you have plans to be somewhere at 5:30 P.M., don't take a nap right beforehand. I will call you and most likely wake you up. Just stick to the plan and be there on time; it's really not hard.
4. Uggs and Crocs
I don't know people still wore these until I got to college. But seriously? They're gross, and Uggs are cruel. Just put on a pair of sneakers, or anything that's not Uggs or Crocs.
5. People who type loud or hard on their keyboards
Who hurt you so much that you have to take it out on your keyboard? Seriously?
6. “Ain’t”
This doesn't exist. You can't break this contraction down because it doesn't exist. You sound idiotic when you use it.
7. People who don’t hold eye contact
It's not hard. When someone is talking to you, just look at them. Hold eye contact. That's just plain respectful.
8. Nail-biters
This is one of the most disgusting habits a person could have. I will threaten to put vinegar on fingers.
9. Snapping at someone to get their attention
This is just downright rude, and there's a good chance I'm not doing whatever you're about to ask of me.
10. People who need to wear their glasses but choose not to
If you need glasses to see, wear them. If you have a slight prescription or reading glasses, that's a different story. I'm talking people who can't see without their glasses, will choose not to wear them, and then complain that they can't see.
11. Their/There/They’re and Your/You’re
People make mistakes, so you're bound to mess these up every now and then. There are just some people who genuinely don't know the difference.
12. People who drag their feet
Are your shoes that heavy that you have to slide your feet everywhere? It makes you sound like a lazy person; just pick your damn feet up.
13. Unassigned assigned seat stealers
There's no reason for you to steal my seat, especially when it's the last month of the semester, and you KNOW that's my seat.
14. People who breathe/laugh
I mean when you sigh/laugh. Like there isn't a "hahaha" in the laugh, just air. When this is the only way a person laughs, I want to rip my ears off.
15. Mumblers
Enunciate. Speak up. It's really not that hard, and I'm sure you don't want to repeat yourself that many times anyway.
