Reasons Why Being Petty Is Completely Okay

"Well, people suck. Be petty."

Reasons Why Being Petty Is Completely Okay

1.Everyone else is petty (even if they say they aren't) you might as well join the bandwagon.

We all like to be right, no matter what. We will correct everyone and anyone, and if it makes us look petty AF then *goal accomplished*! Yeah, we all love to claim to be better than other in the moral sense. Well, people suck. Be the pettiest.

2. It gives you an empowering feeling.

3. There is no reward for being the bigger person all the time.

I checked. I double checked. I even triple checked. Yeah, I suppose there can be moral victories, but who would know that beside you? I want people in their graves to realize it... the only way that will ever happen is to make sure my pettiness is pettier than yours. Why? Because I'm a petty motherfucker.

4. Sometimes people don't understand the problem or even realise it is a problem until you let them know. This is normally done by being petty.

For instance say your boyfriend never puts the toilet seat down, after he pees. He just leave it there. This is a common problem, but a problem nonetheless. You ask them to remember to put the seat down and they either forget (probably) or don't care enough to not do it again (likely). Well, I have a solution, but it's petty.

You have to go into the house and leave anything that has a door like thing open. AND I MEAN EVERYTHING. Open those back and front doors. They got a garage? Hell, open it too! Open the kitchen cabinets, the dishwasher, the drawers, the windows, everything. THIS IS PETTY AF, BUT THEY GON' LEARN TODAYYYYYYYYY.

5. Some people just deserve it.

What comes around goes around right?

6. Because Jesus ain't done with you yet, boo.

While Jesus and his pops are out blessin' folks and all the ratchets, you might as well get into a situation that allows you to be petty. It isn't exactly your fault. If Jesus and God were done with you , you'd be chill. But they aren't, so you're not. Be petty to your heart's desire. Do you, boo thang.


You broke my favorite mug with cats on it? That's cool. It's not like it was something that mattered a lot to me, no big deal. Oops, I didn't mean to knock your aquarium down and step on Dory.

Wait, actually, don't do that. That's pretty mean.

You almost ran me over with that big ass jeep of yours (paid for by courtesy of Daddy's money) and then look at me like I was in the way when I was crossing a crosswalk. Well, you don't need that top right? You have raincoats to wear when driving it with no top. Thanks, fam.


'Cause I'm a petty bitch.

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.
