Pet Peeves

Oh boy, do I have my pet peeves. I'm one of those people who's just naturally annoyed by everything, and I hate it. I'm annoyed by people, I'm annoyed by little habits, I'm annoyed by the way things are organised, I'm even annoyed by myself. There are things that I do myself that annoy me! I really should become a hippy or something because my irritability may get progressively worse. So, ready for my pet peeves? I know I am...

• People who think that everyone is doing something wrong just because they're doing it differently to they do it
• "How can you not like [INSERT THING I REALLY DON'T LIKE]????"
• Being judged for how I eat
• The fact that my blog template won't let me reply to comments without completely screwing up
• "Just go and ask them, they won't bite!"
• People who don't know that opinions exist
• People who think that it's okay to lump people into general groups in order to give them 'a taste of their own medicine'

• Asking me what I'm listening to, when I have earphones in my ears

• "You're not allowed to have a say in this" (even when they're agreeing with them!)
• That one person who tries to guess what's going to happen next in a film (keep it to yourself!)
• Going to a buffet and there's very little food that I like
• People who think that they know a lot about something when they just read about it briefly online
• People who talk during films (this is why i don't go to the cinema on a saturday afternoon anymore)
• People who leave trolleys standing in the middle of the aisle

• People who ask if they can have some of my food (even worse if they don't say please)
• Being called 'darling' by people I don't know
• People who are always negative (i have a lot of pet peeves, but nothing is ever that bad)
• People who think that Kindles and other e-readers are evil (grow up, they're not going to replace books)

Okay, got that out of my system! Things aren't that bad though, I try not to let pet peeves (or even pet hates) get to me too much. Although I'm definitely considering being a hippie. That would be fun!
