9 Things That Drive Me Bonkers

These are my pet peeves.

9 Things That Drive Me Bonkers
Megan Thackston

There are a few things in this world that drive me absolutely bonkers. I am not the most organized person by all means, but these few things really irk my nerves and I'm not sure why. Maybe I'm just extra.

1. When the cheese packet isn't torn evenly.

I know there is a tear here sign and if you can't tear it evenly yourself get some scissors. I have unevenly torn a few myself and felt like I failed at life.

2. The volume in my car or on my TV must be on an even number.

If I get into my car and the radio is on an uneven number I know someone else must have driven it, or someone is trying to mess with my feelings.

3. Loud chewing, or gulping on drinks.

I can not deal with noises. I eat with the TV or radio loud enough that I don't even hear the forks scratch the plate or I give everyone plastic silverware. If you have to breathe real loud after taking a drink you need to slow your roll.

4. Clapping at the end of a movie in a movie theater.

No one in the movie, nor the producers can hear you cheering. You look foolish. Can you please move your legs or get up so I can leave before the parking lot floods?

5. When people pull the race card for everything.

No one is pulling the race card every time they speak. Chill out, people can dislike a president or an idea without being a racist. The "race card" is a cheat-shot way to get your way because nobody wants to be labeled a racist.

6. People who seek attention all the time.

You're only a "big deal" to your loved ones. I'm sure you are a lovely person, but constantly bragging about yourself and throwing your success in everyone's face gets old. We get you're successful.

7. When I'm talking about someone and the person I am talking to drags out the first name until I say the last.

Me: "Oh, Sue came in the library today."

Person of annoyance: "Sueeeeeeeee..."

Me: "Sue Jones!" (while rolling eyes)

Would it kill you to simply say " Sue who?" You just wasted five minutes of my life that I will never get back.

8. Really thick eyebrows. Is that an upside down canoe or an eyebrow?

Eyebrows have become an art. Thick or thin, dark or light, get a second opinion before experimenting. It's your face for crying out loud not a floor that you can add a fuzzy rug to for decoration.

9. People who breath loud.

I'm not sure if you have asthma or just happen to be a mouth breather. Either way take a breathing treatment or contact a physician because I'm about to scream!

Yes, I have Misophonia, literally ‘hatred of sound,’ is a form of decreased sound tolerance. People who have misophonia are most commonly annoyed, or even enraged, by the sound of other people eating, breathing, coughing, or other ordinary sounds.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
