For today’s entry, I wanted to dissect the things that drive
me crazy, my pet peeves. I surprised myself with how many more I had than I
thought. I am going to do my best to cover the spectrum of the things that both
anger me and sometimes make me cringe. From social etiquette (or lack thereof)
to noises that drive me up the wall, I have a few!
Firstly, when people use the bathroom and then don’t wash
their hands, I am both disgusted and irritated. Not only do they feel okay with
all those disgusting, bacteria and germs being on their hands, but they have
the audacity to spread those germs to every single surface they touch, and give
them to those like me who wash their hands religiously. While on the subject of
cleanliness, I also really dislike littering. That is something I can proudly
say I do not do, and am bothered when I see trash. Even more bothersome is
seeing someone in the act of littering. Throw it in the trash! Another pet
peeve of mine is actually a sound. There is a certain awful scraping noise made
when windshield wipers or scrapers go over a snow/ice covered windshield.
Needless to say, I automatically cover up my ears when the noise is made. I
pride myself in my sometimes okay English capabilities. So, there are times I
morph into the grammar police. Horrible misspellings and confusion of words
such as “they’re” and “their” would be another pet peeve I claim. Also, I get
really irritated when I am talking on the phone and someone around me starts
yelling over me to whoever I am talking to. On the other side of that, I
dislike when talking on the phones with someone and they either get distracted
and start talking to someone else, or when someone can be heard yelling to them
in the background. Phone calls deserve courtesy too! Last, but not least, I
cannot stand stealing or lying. A combination of both is a pet peeve doubled.
