We all have personal pet peeves. Some worse than others. These irritations can range from being a minor speed bump, to totally ruining your day. Being a very particular person, I have very unreasonable yet completely relatable annoyances. Some people don't give these occurrences a second thought, whereas some just want to shove their face in their hands and scream.

1. People Who Eat Too Loudly.

Coming in hot and heavy at number one, are people who sound like a vacuum swallowing a t-shirt when they consume food. I have spent countless minutes in the classroom, trying not to explode in a fit of rage at the person behind me, who brings a plate of food to class. I can’t focus on physics equations as it is, never mind with the distraction of slurping. The excess chewing and lip smacking makes my blood boil. Instead, I have to just sit there and practice quietly reciting every curse word I know.

2. Incompetent Drivers.

Does anyone in Massachusetts know what a directional is? Or are we expected to be mind readers? Living up to its name, Massachusetts drivers are notorious for being some of the worst, contracting the name Massholes. The driver in front of you going five miles below the speed limit is just begging for your hand to reach the horn. Pretty much any vehicular situation will set off a Boston driver. Yet, the comical part is that those city drivers may be the worst culprits. Especially the taxis who think they are the only drivers on the road, or are in an action movie. Either way, I think I would sometimes rather be walking.

3. People Who Lick Their Fingers Before Giving Cash.

Admittedly, I’m a germaphobe. Meaning I douse potentially bacteria filled objects with disinfectant before coming into contact with it. The most unnecessary unsanitary thing, is when people coat their fingers with saliva before placing money into my hand. Money is dirty enough as it is. Licking your fingers before handing me money certainly wakes up my gag reflex. If I was looking to catch a cold, this would be an easy way.

4. Whining.

As a person who is easily irritated by the sound of consumption, whining also hurts my ears. There are two types of whining; young kids who don’t want to listen to their parents, and constant complainers. We have all seen the typical isle one disaster, where the kid wants a toy and causes a fake crying scene when their mother denies them. Then there’s that gossiping friend we all know, who is never satisfied and will take the opportunity to complain about anyone or anything. Been on your Facebook newsfeed lately? These people should be easy to pin point. I am aware that this article is actually just one huge complaint, but what’s an article without a little irony?

5. Waiting.

In this generation, we get what we want, when we want it. As selfish as it sounds that we can all be impatient divas, it couldn’t be more true about the modern day. So naturally, waiting in line at your college’s financial aid office where they shatter the dreams of everyone in front of you, or at a store where the cashier is getting paid in all pennies, is the opposite of ideal. As much as we don’t want to admit that we are all impatient, we are. Everyone has a busy schedule and their own routine. I would rather waste half of my Dunkin' Donuts coffee than my time, and trust me that’s saying a lot.

Maybe I’m just overly sensitive and easily irritated but I can guarantee most people would identify with these pet peeves. Did I mention herds of high school girls using the word "like" excessively at the mall on a Saturday night? Unfortunately, these situations will always be around to bother us. The best thing we can do is bite our tongue and try not to scream as loudly as possible to the people surrounding us. My advice to anyone who possesses the same annoyances as me, would be to either avoid or ignore these situations as much as possible, because your hair is much too pretty to pull out.
