Pet Peeves

Honestly, I'm in a rather irritable mood today. I'm not sure if it's the weather or the result of not sleeping well or the fact that the English muffin I was looking oh so forward to was covered in mold. Whatever the case may be, I decided that my mood was a suitable one to blog about a few of my pet peeves. Let's jump right into it, shall we?

1. When People Insult My Food.
I'm not a picky eater. I used to be a pescetarian (which is a vegetarian that eats seafood), but I now eat chicken and occasionally turkey. I know, I suck. Anyway, I don't eat pork or beef and haven't in years. Because of that, I enjoy tofu as a substitute. The other day at work, Moe's catered for some pointless staff lunch (which took my hour away from that place) and I requested tofu for my plate (their tofu bowls are delish). My boss, who is actually infamous for this, makes this HUGE deal about it. "What does it taste like, why does it look like that" etc. I encouraged everyone to try it (mostly so they would stop asking me questions). As I'm finishing my boss comes up to me, mid-bite, with her nose turned up broadcasting how it tastes like cardboard and she doesn't know how anyone can eat that. I find that so rude! People, if someone around you is eating something that you normally wouldn't, just let them live their life! I'm not going in on you for eating baby pigs and Cows.. so don't knock my choices.

2. Loud Eaters
I know I've already touched on people that smack their food so I won't go into detail there, since it's self-explanatory. Don't do it. Also, please refrain from scraping your teeth on your fork! Isn't it painful? You've got to be taking off some enamel when doing that. You aren't in prison, you don't need to be in such a rush to eat..

3. Bahahaha
I just feel like, when I laugh, there are no hints of "B" in my chuckle. Therefore, I don't understand why people insist on typing, "bahahaha". You sound like a sheep!

4. HBD
In case you were wondering, "HBD" is the new Happy Birthday. Let me just say, whoever wishes me a "hbd" on facebook or via text, is no longer my friend. That is the laziest thing I have ever witnessed! ILY for I love you also applies. Abbreviations are just for a-holes.

5. Your/You're
For the love of God, please get it right! I don't know what it will take for people to understand this grammatical error. You're= you are. This is elementary!

6. Standing in Line
Standing in line is already annoying, but what about the people that stand practically on your heels? Do they think that it's going to get them closer to checking out? Or are they trying to see what I have in my hands? I don't understand, and it makes me paranoid. Back up!

7. Facebook Hijacking
There are many annoyances that go along with facebook, but I really don't love when people hijack a picture or status. Example: I post something and two other people start having a completely unrelated conversation. Which also leads to me getting a ton of notifications and my thunder has completely been stolen.

8. Wet Towels
I hate when wet bath towels are left on the floor. Then the carpet is wet and the towel usually mildewed. There is nothing worse then a mildewed bath towel!

9. Summer Shoes with Winter Feet
Ladies and gents- if you're busting out flip flops or sandals, please make sure your feet are appropriately groomed for this attire.

10. Inconsiderate Drivers
If you have been waiting for someone to let you out or to let you over for what seems like days, and I take the liberty of doing a good deed for you, wave and thank me! It takes two seconds and if it wasn't for me you'd still be stuck wherever you were, becoming that much later for wherever you have to be so show some gratitude!

OK, I think that about sums it up for now and has surprisingly helped my mood. There will most definitely be a part II for this, but for now, have a great day and remember to thank your fellow commuters.
