my list of petty annoyances
April 22, 2010
I really dislike:
-it when people leave the toilet seat up. is it really that hard to put it back down when you're done?
-obnoxious people who are always try to get everyone's attention. obnoxiously.
-rude people.
-ungrateful people.
-sneezing a lot.
-realizing that it's midnight and i haven't started my homework (especially worse on Sunday nights)
-brain freeze.
-when i drift apart from people who used to be my best friends.
-(this is really stupid but) when people dislike me -_- i don't care when people i don't like dislike me, but it bothers me otherwise -_- which is something i need to get over.
-those days when you get really upset at something really small and you don't really know why (this may somehow be linked to PMSing, but i'm not sure...)
-running out of chocolate.
-not being able to drive (i don't have my license yet XD).
what about you guys? :D
EDIT: My SO's response (via text!) to me cribbing about the toilet seat being left up -
"And the thing about toilet lids is that if we put them down again, we have to do two units of work to pee, lifting the seat and lowering it again. And then the women have zero units of work. This is hardly fair. But if we leave it up when we finish and you leave it down, the we both have one unit of work. I lift it up, and leave it up, when I'm done. And you put it down and leave it down when you're done. You see? It's more fair for the group. Plus when the entire family is there, you don't know who will use it after you. If it's a guy that comes after you, then it was a waste of effort to put it back down after you finished, because he'll have to lift it back up again. It's just much more practical for the whole family to leave the seat in the state they used it in.......I am so full of wisdom despite my tender age."
>>. What a loser.

HereIsWhereYouArexQuotes: Lovely post, dear.
things that annoy me are when people can't tell the difference between "your/you're" and "their/they're/there" and other words like that. i'm a spelling/grammar freak. also, hipsters sort of peeve me. and i hate getting kanye'd.
sorority_girl86: I hate that feeling when you think someone is talking about you, but you know they're not. that little scream of paranoia in my brain. I hate it.
I also hate that It takes me forever to have good comebacks
kriskris92:
-when people interrupt me
-when people are obnoxious/try to make every thing about themselves
-when people text back with 'k' or 'lol'
-when people give me death glares for no good reason
-when picture frames don't hang straight
-when i grow apart from people i used to call my best friends
-when people crack things - knuckles, hips, neck, back, ankles, etc
yeah, that's all i can think of off the top of my head, but i'm sure theres a lot more haha
:)
neckowaferr: good listtt, i agree with basically all of them.
it annoys me when people use "your" instead of "you're." also, when people laugh awkwardly, just so someone will ask what they're laughing at.
lieawake_dream: love the pics! i can totallly relate to a bunch of your annoyances. some random ones of mine off the top of my head: when you pull dead skin off your lip and it bleeds,rainy weather,when people ask you to repeat what you said/speak up a million times,when stuff on sale isn't in your size
iftheycanyoucan: Some annoyances of mine:
-when i'm in a really crowded cramped space that i don't want to be in.
-i get really, really impatient when drying my hair (It only takes like 5min but feels a lot longer)
-people who are "story-toppers." you gotta sad story, theirs is worse, gotta good one, theirs is better.
-people who pretend to be "artsy" for attention.
-when i sit down to watch a movie/read and someone needs my help/attention
I love all your little posts. they're so happy.
kimmcatastrophe: Totally agree with all the 'dislikes.'
I absolutely love your layout, by the way. :)
so_effin_fly: I really hate when someone tries to get attention all the time.
And when the teacher is getting mad and people are still talking.
And when I can't sit down anywhere when i've been standing up for a long time. haha
writinghands: LOVE LOVE Love this post
hopethatitglows: Beautiful post. I agree with many of your pet peeves as well.
My biggest...edited to be smaller:
Ignorance.
Bigotry.
Close-mindedness.
Snobbery.
Laziness.
Not being dedicated.
Thinking others owe you something.
Using people.
Florida's weather.
Not feeling good enough.
Eating disorders.
Failing.
Lying.
Presuming.
The c-word or the word "pussy".
etc, etc, etc.
Haha. Sorry if that was far too long. <3 Hope you're doing well!

@HereIsWhereYouArexQuotes -
oh me too!! i hate it when people are grammatically incorrect, especially when it's something easy to change like your vs. you're.@sorority_girl86 -
i hate the latter too. after i argue with someone, i always think of comebacks that i should have used a week after the argument, which is really annoying.@kriskris92 -
the 'k' and 'lol' texts are really annoying, i agree. why bother to send one at all if that's all you're going to say?@neckowaferr -
"your" and "you're" seems to annoy a lot of people (but clearly not enough)@lieawake_dream -
i agree with all of these ESPECIALLY the last one cause it's soo annoying to see something cute that's cheap and then realize it's either too small or too large :\@iftheycanyoucan -
the story toppers are the worst -__- and thanks so much, i'm glad you like them!! ^^@kimmcatastrophe -
oh thank you! hippielifestyle is one of the best sites for layouts i've found so far!@so_effin_fly -
i agree with the second one as well :\ some people can just be really rude.@writinghands -
thank you!!@hopethatitglows -
i agree with pretty much all of these hehe. and don't worry, mine was longer :P. i am doing quite well and i hope you are too! <333
