20 Pet Peeves That Drive Everyone Nuts

One thing. There has got to be one thing that makes you want to scream. Sometimes it depends on where you're from. Because I work in a location en route to New York City, many customers hate when people move too slowly. In contrast, southern living moves a lot slower. Nonetheless, how we perceive others 100 percent depends on the mood we are in.

1. Leg shaking.

This is usually people who have a hard time sitting still. Either way, I do not appreciate my chair bouncing.

2. Loud Chewing.

I think this would bother everyone. Or maybe i'm just crazy. Am I the only one who noticed that some men make moaning noises when they eat?

3. Nail tapping.

Guilty. After getting our nails done, every girl likes to find a nice countertop — Taptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptap.

4. When people use your belongings without asking.

I'm super laid back. I don't care if you use my mug or use my pens. But food? Never touch my food.

5. When people eat your leftovers.

This is probably one of the worst things that happen. I spent my whole day looking forward to eating that. That was my leftover lo mein, you jerk.

6. When people push you in a crowd.

Never touch me again.

7. Putting the toilet paper the wrong way.

This one really gets to me. Toilet paper should always have the little flap on the top. I do not wish to tickle the toilet paper roll.

8. When people say "ew" to what you eat.

This happens mostly when I try to eat healthy. Trust me, saying "ew" to my raw vegetables doesn't make it any easier for me either.

9. Slow cashiers at Walmart.

I really don't want to be here. I really should have gone to self checkout.

10. When people listen to their music out loud in public instead of using headphones.

Trust me, nobody wants to hear that awful taste in music.

11.The word "moist"

Nobody likes this word. It has no importance in the english language.

12. Expensive coffee.

I have an assignment due tomorrow, I don't need to spend $4 for a small espresso.

13. People who stop in the middle of a sidewalk.

I do find an excuse for this if you find a Pokemon. Catch em all kid.

14. Stupid hashtags.

#LikeforLike #Followforfollow #selfie #pretty #girl #human

15. YouTube ads.

Get out of here, no one invited you.

16. People who don't use blinkers.

It is not that hard.

17. People who mix up "you're" and "your."

I think we learned this in third grade.

18. People who intentionally dirty a public restroom.

This isn't your personal pig pen. Go piss on your floor at home.

19. When people make plans and then cancel at the last minute.

I got out of bed for this...How dare you...

20. That noise when a steak knife screeches across your plate.

That noise is physically painful. It hurts my soul.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
