After listening to Little Mix's "You Gotta Not" song off their fourth album, Glory Days, there was something a thought that hit me. Let's face it: we all have some sort of pet peeve or a behavior that irks us to the ends of the earth. Whether it's your significant other's behavior or a best friend, heck, even a family member, there will be a certain behavior that will just drive us crazy. To add a little more edge, why not talk about summer pet peeves, right? After all, while summer is the greatest time of year and everyone is out having a good time, there are things that will still manage to drive us nuts every year. To pay homage to a pretty upbeat song that talks about the behaviors of a crush that just does everything wrong, here is a top 10 list of things people will do this summer that will make you say, "You Gotta Not!"
1. People who purposely smoke in front of non-smokers.
Have a little decency! We understand that you're dying for that cigarette, but secondhand smoke is deadly too. You gotta not!
2. People who cut lines.
We get it. It's hot, waiting in line can be a hassle, whether it's for the water slide to help you cool off or to buy a refreshing drink. However, if you're going to cut in front of all the other patient people…you gotta not!
3. People who take their pets to fireworks shows.
Fido's ears are far more sensitive to loud sounds than we are. In that case, don't take them to a fireworks show. You gotta not.
4. People who hog the fan or AC.
When it's hotter than The Devil's toenails outside, you really need to absolutely not hog the fans.
5. People who keep saying "are we there yet?" on a long drive.
Take a nap, read a book, but no we're not there yet. You gotta not!
6. People who don't bring things to a BBQ potluck party but expect to be fed.
Bring your own food. You really need to not.
7. People who want to cuddle in 90-degree weather.
Why do you want to cuddle when it's 90 plus degrees. That's gross. You gotta not!
8. People who take off their shoes after a long day while they're in a car with the AC blowing.
Do you have any manners? No one wants to smell your feet! You gotta not!
9. People who cancel plans last minute.
Unless there's a dire emergency, don't be that person and cancel plans last minute. You gotta not!
10. People who chew with their mouths wide open.
Keep it closed or cover your mouth if you want to keep a convo going. Otherwise, you gotta not!
