Working in the food industry can be incredibly irritating, especially when you deal with rude customers. Ask any server you know, I am almost positive they will share some crazy story about the time they were either yelled at for a mistake they didn't make, or for food they didn't cook being too undercooked.

I bet you are wondering "Why do you refuse to watch The Boy in the Striped Pajamas?" well I"m about to explain my reasons why I will not watch that movie, ever again. Spoilers are included.

As a person who LOVES horror/scary movies, I barely get scared from them. I'm able to laugh it off whenever a vicious monster tries to scare me.

To become better caretakers, I have composed a list of 7 easy ways to help our environment and those living in it (people AND animals). After all, we only get one Earth, so let's love her.

1. When your Uber driver takes 8 minutes to arrive at your pick-up location, but on the locating map, it indicated they were 5 minutes away.

2. When you have your apps on automatic update and it starts updating as soon as you want to scroll through Insta, so you have to wait the 20 seconds for it to update.

3. When you are recording a video on Snapchat and you try to double-tap the screen to switch to the back camera but it doesn’t immediately work, so you get an awkward 1 second shot of your confused face.

4. When the cheese on your McDonalds cheeseburger isn’t centered, so half of it is melted on the wrapping.

5. When you wear your white shoes for the first time and you accidentally get a scuff on the right shoe.
