As we get through these long, dog days of summer, we all come to the point where every little thing is annoying us in our boredom. This week, I've decided to vent a little and share the 17 things that have been annoying me lately.
17. Fidgeting with the Battery Cover on the Remote
PUT. IT. DOWN! Turn on whatever you want to watch, adjust the volume, and put the remote down. It is distracting and super annoying to have you clicking the remote's battery cover throughout the show.
16. Other Drivers
Do I even need to elaborate? Turn signals, right-of-way, completely stopping to make a turn; you name it, it bothers me and it probably bothers you too.
15. Sick People in Public
If you're sick, stay home and get better. You need to rest, and I need you to not be annoying me with your sniffling.
14. Selfishness
Think of other people every now and again; I promise it won't kill you!
13. New Slang
I'm in my early twenties and I honestly don't understand half of what people are posting on social media. Urban Dictionary may have saved me a few times.
12. Loose Panels in Cars
My old clunker has a bunch of these, but that's what the radio is for, right?
11. Having to Repeat Myself
Sometimes it is my own fault for not making sure I have your full attention, but don't be mad at me for the attitude that comes with me having to repeat myself four and five times.
10. Someone Else Eating the Last of My Favorite Snack
All I can say is you better buy me more Honeycomb.
9. When People Park Stupid
DO. NOT. PARK. ON. MY. DOOR. I'm not even talking parallel parking, just the basic parking between the lines. It's common courtesy!
8. When Meetings Are Unnecessarily Long
This could've been an email. Please let me go home now.
7. That Most Restaurants Offer Only One Diet Soda
Option...
Seriously, I don't think it's too much to ask. I don't always want to drink Cola and there are too many carbs in regular sodas for my Diabetic pancreas to rationalize drinking it.
6. When Someone Leaves the Door Open
We all know that if the door was closed when you came in, you better close it on your way out.
5. Fingernail Biting
It leaves you open for infection and so many other things, but mainly it's just gross.
4. People Who "Chaw" on Gum
Close your mouth. Ain't no one want to see (or hear!) your chewing gum!
3. People Who Constantly Touch their Mouth/Face
I'm not entirely sure why this bothers me so much, but it probably has to do with germs and the transmission of disease.
2. Group Projects
No one ever knows what is going on in a group project. I'm pretty sure it's just the professor's way of getting back at both the slackers and the smart alecks in one fell swoop.
1. Professors Who Constantly Mispronounce a Word They Use Often
Professors are supposed to educated, or at least appear to know what they're talking about. I don't think that's too much to ask when I'm paying thousands of dollars to attend your classes.
