  • Pet Peeves!

    I thought it would be fun to talk about my pet peeves today. I am not bothered by many things honestly, at least not a lot. When something does get on my nerves a lot it's usually quite unbearable. I am just going to do 4 for today. This is the kind of thing I might want to talk about later so I'm not going to put all of them down on one post.

    My first one is the sound of people chewing

    I don't know what it is about the sound of people chewing but it is the most annoying sound in existence to me. I have trouble staying sane whenever my family eats dinner at the table. Lucky for me we do not eat dinner at the table often because I just can't stand the sound. Because of this I am really careful about how loud I chew as well, knowing that in some cases there might be people that have the same pet peeve as me. I always chew as quiet as possible. I really don't see this peeve going away any time soon.

    The questions "How was your day?" and "How was school."

    These just totally get on my nerves especially if it is the only thing we talk about. I HATE it when people ask me these questions. More often than not if I have something worthwhile to say to these questions I will say it before the person can even ask me the questions. I've never been in a scenario where this kind of conversation ended up being a really good one where these two questions are concerned. I really prefer more intelligent, structured conversation. I really like to talk about pretty much everything. I am a curious person and like subjects that are a little more interesting.  Whenever I am asked these questions my main answer is usually always one word "good". I have never really had a bad school day, not really bad enough to say "bad" anyway.  The chances of me telling you i have had a bad day in general are pretty slim (unless if I am blogging), so I will always answer the same usually.  The only kind of conversation I ever ask these questions in is the kid of conversation where I have absolutely no idea what to talk to the person about but still want to really talk to them. This does not happen with very many people, just the really unfortunate ones, and trust me when I say that just asking these questions myself is more than embarrassing it makes me feel stupid as well. That is just the way I work, I do think it is kind of funny a little. 

    People leaving their dogs out to walk around everywhere they want.

    Some people don't seem to notice that other people really hate this. I have seen countless times where a neighbor just let their dog roam everywhere it wants to. I am terrified of stray dogs, even to the point where I have trouble just walking outside, so the fact that people do this just makes me super nervous and it really gets on my nerves a lot. Not to mention that it makes it so people don't want to let their children play outside sometimes.  People don't leave your dogs outside to just roam free PLEASE!!! The neighborhood is not a free pasture thanks.

    People that look down on others

    This is probably one of my worst pet peeves probably because I see everyone on an equal level with everyone else. No one is above anyone, we are all equal, we all deserve love and kindness despite our race, religion, or the amount of money we have.  It realy gets on my nerves when another person seems to think they can look down on another. We all have flaws, we all make mistakes, no one is more perfect than anyone else besides God obviously.  I think judging others is so hypocricical and pointless, everyone should have a chance to be loved, and treated equally.  There was this girl that used to live across the street from me and she always treated me like trash just because I was a little different. This person did not know anything about me really, but yet somehow she got the notion that she had the right to treat me like trash... This has never made any sense to me, in fact I stil don't know why she hated me so much.

  • oh yeah, the chewing one aggravates me as well.  I was sitting at a church supper last week and this guy next to me was the most "vocal" eater I have ever heard.  It made me lose my appetite.

  • The chewing one...oh my gosh I cannot stand people chewing with their mouths open especially with gum. It's so annoying! 

    I never really noticed the dog one you mentioned, but I can't stand when people leave their poor dogs in the car (WITHOUT windows open) while they go shopping in the mall...especially when it's either really cold or really hot. Like why bother bringing your dog with you to do that? >.<

  • @godfatherofgreenbay - My uncle lived here for a while he was like that, it was SO noisy, it drove me nuts.

    @CecilliaMarie - I have a few friends that chew gum all the time, sometimes with their mouth open, I have to constantly tell them not to do it. ><

    I don't know about other places but over here there is always at least one neighbor that leaves their dog outside to wander around everywhere it wants.Oh, and I agree with the leaving dogs in cars part, I always find that sad.

  • chewing: there was a guy at work that would chew with his mouth open. it was very annoying.  it took me some time to get use to eating in japan as they slurp their noodles and soup and it is the custom to do so.

    loose dogs are not cool. it is unhealthy and unsafe for the animal.
    i dont feel i look down on other people, but i do feel that i am more fortunate than some and less than others.  it is not unusual for me to do random acts of kindness.
    i will try and not ask about your day or school, at least not within the first few moments of meeting.  

  • People who look down on others! Ignorant people.
