25 Pet Peeves We Need To Consider to avoid making blood boil

We all have that breaking point, or petty points, some more than others.

Rolling eyes

We spend an average of 6-10 hours of our lives out with people. Whether that be at work, school or with friends/families. Even though a lot of people are patient and are people-lovers, there are some things that tend to grind our gears. I asked around and there are many pet peeves that we can all agree to or find comical. (Many people were eager to answer me when I asked about their peeves.)

1.Bad drivers

"People who drive recklessly fast, overly slow, don't use a signal."

2.“When people do not clean after themselves”/ “When people leave wrappers around.”

Anything dealing with hair or something from your body, please clean up. "Like if you're still sitting there and just haven't gotten up yet, fine, but if you leave the wrapper when you get up? I hate that."

3.“Basic White Men”

Don't be the stereotype.

4.Socks and sandals

Why is that even a thing?

GIPHY

5.When people don’t hold the door for me or don’t thank me for holding the door for them.

GIPHY

Manners please people.

6.”Entitled and inconsiderate people”

GIPHY

It's called empathy

7.People coughing/sneezing without covering their mouths

GIPHY

Please refrain from spreading, especially during flu season.

8.“When people are in my room and keep their shoes on”

GIPHY

Makes me feel like they are about to leave and don't want to hangout with me.

9.Biting nails

GIPHY

Especially in a quiet room when you can hear it...Yuck!

10. “When people tell other people how to live their life when they’re not hurting anyone”

GIPHY

People downplaying your life because they think their life is harder; or when people dismiss the problems of others because it doesn't directly relate to them. Any form of disvaluing another person is a big N-O in my book.

11.Dominating conversations/ "When people cut me off and don't apologize"

GIPHY

One upping in conversations, it is not a competition. Plus when 2 people talk back and forth in a group chat, if you want to talk to only them, don't blow up the group chat.

12.Chewing with mouth open/chewing loudly in general

GIPHY

Can we just all agree to chew with our mouths closed?

13.People eating off your plate without asking first

GIPHY

"I will literally grab their hand before it makes it to their mouth and take whatever they grabbed out of their hand."

14.When people say stuff like “I’m starving” or “I’m so poor”

GIPHY

...but you aren't

15.When people play the victim/People who always think THEIR situation is worse

GIPHY

Buddy we all have our struggles... just listen please.

16.People who are chronically late.

GIPHY

"A one-off I can maybe understand, but it's incredibly rude to think your time is more valuable than the 15 to 30 minutes you're making me wait."

17.Drag their feet when they’re walking

GIPHY

Just pick up your feet!

18.When people have no concept of the need for alone time

GIPHY

"My freshman year roommate spent all her time in the room so I never had time alone and I was ready to choke her out by the end"

19.When strangers talk to you while you’re walking with headphones in

GIPHY

They are on my head for a reason.

20.People underestimating my intelligence

GIPHY

Don't talk to me like I am 3 years old.

21.When people can't correctly spell basic word or mix up "you're" with "your"

GIPHY

"Don't make me turn into a grammar nazi and do a two-hour surgery on your essay for sociology."

22.Someone setting double standards

GIPHY

"Where they say that you couldn't do something but then they go and do it themselves."

23.Sending Mixed Emotions

GIPHY

Be straight with what you are saying. It will make everything that much easier in life.

24.When people walk in the middle of the street

GIPHY

There is a sidewalk right next to them.

25.When people say “no offense” then proceed to say something really offensive.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
