14 Things That Grind My Gears

Are you serious? Who raised you?

14 Things That Grind My Gears

Every once in awhile I get asked, what are your biggest pet peeves? And when you put me on the spot, I suddenly have nothing which is mind blowing since the littlest things usually drive me crazy. I like common sense and people who have it. If you don’t, then we probably have a problem. But that’s a completely different story.

Anyways, I’ve started to jot down my pet peeves in my Notes as I realize them. I do it just in case I ever get famous and am asked about them, I’ll have my answer ready to go.

1. When people blow their nose in public

For example, in the middle of class. You can’t go to the bathroom or into the hall to be gross? Where are your manners?

2. Before & After collages in the wrong order

Its supposed to go before on the left then after on the right. Not the other way around. That doesn’t even look right.

3. Being spoken to like I’m dumb

Have you ever asked a legitimate question and you get responded to with attitude? Like don't talk to me like I'm dumb, I am not a baby.

4. When people don’t have proper manners


If I take time out of my day to bless you after you sneeze or hold the door open for you and you don’t thank me, we’ll have a problem forever.

5. When I don’t get blessed

Did you not just hear me sneeze? Bless me.

6. People who don’t have common courtesy.

When you’re getting off the train/bus and the person waiting at the stop doesn’t wait for you to get off first. I come off the train first then you can get on.

7. When people chew with their mouth open or smack their food

8. Being childish.

Remember in third grade when you wore your cool new shoes to school, someone noticed and asked “oh are those new?” Then they purposely stepped on them after you said yes? Yeah , that really grinned my gears as an eight year old.

9. Using the wrong terms for social media.

It is not “follow me on snapchat” or “add me on twitter.” It’s ADD me on snapchat and follow my twitter. It’s not even that hard? Just get it right.

10. When fake eyelashes aren't applied properly

I see that little corner that’s not sticking and it is driving me crazy.

11. When people sneeze and don’t cover.

NOW YOUR NASTY GERMS ARE EVERYWHERE. ARE YOU KIDDING?!

12. When my door gets left open

I know you did not find my door open, close it when you leave.

13. Lying parents

Why are you telling me the food is done but when I come to the table it’s nowhere near done? I can’t even trust my own mother.

14. When you’re arguing with someone & all of a sudden they're literate

Oh, now you know how to use punctuation and the proper you’re? Where was all this enthusiasm when you almost failed tenth grade English? That still doesn’t make your argument valid.

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.
