When human nature was created, God made it so that certain, seemingly petty actions would drive us to insanity. Humans interpret some actions as extremely annoying when, in reality, they are rather trivial. Nonetheless, these irrationally interpreted actions are ubiquitous, and they can absolutely ruin friendships.
These are some of the more pervasive pet peeves that really should be outright banned from societal existence. Chances are, if you're reading this article you've been the victim of some, or even all of these nagging offenses. If you are the perpetrator, just stop--no one likes you in these moments.
1. Chewing with your mouth open
No, I do not care if your nasal passage is backed up and need to gasp for air after every time you chew. Nor do I care that I am not on a date with you, and that you are not trying to impress me. In fact, I'd rather you not be able to breathe in those moments of sickening agony where I have to sit through hearing your food crunch.
2. Sitting on my bed
You do not have to be a clean freak to resonate with this one. Lying down, sitting and even touching my bed area is not okay–especially after the sheets are washed. This is definitely the biggest downside to investing in an extremely comfortable bed....
3. Talking to me when I am clearly in the zone for studying
When my headphones are in and I am disinvested in the conversation you are trying to start with me, that should be a sign to stop probing with conversation.
4. Annoying conversationalists
No offense, but I literally cannot stand people who like don't talk properly. Like, do they seriously not realize they sound like a valley girl whose Daddy gives them everything? No offense to them though, of course.
5. The pretentious health nut
I would ask you if you want a cookie for being so darned special, but you probably can't eat it because you are "gluten intolerant", vegan, on a "cleansing phase" and need proper fuel for your next Crossfit workout.
6. "Too cool for school"
This is the person who you are 100% certain knows you, yet they try and play it off like they don't remember you or can't recall why you look familiar. Not buying that for a second...
7. Interrupters
And I'm not just talking about Trump at the recent presidential debate....
Some people think that everything they have to say is so riveting and compelling that they have the authority to talk louder than someone trying to state their own opinion. When people dominate a conversation in this manner, it is haughty, annoying and classless. And, no one wants to hear what you have to say anyways.
