20 Pet Peeves You Can Relate To

I'm annoyed just writing about it.

Nov 07, 2016

Pet peeves: we’ve all got ‘em. I am generally what people would call “cynical” or “grumpy” on a day-to-day basis anyway, but there are a few things that just really get me going. This week has been particularly hard for me, and it has come to my attention that I have a lot more pet peeves than I thought. Here are my top 20 annoyances, I hope you find them relatable:

1. When someone honks .5 seconds after the light turns green

GIVE ME A SECOND O.K.?!

2. People who are consistently late

Like, how hard is it to leave on time?

3. When someone parks their shopping cart in the middle of the aisle while they browse

Just, why.

4. Unexpected loud noises

Not sure why, but they make me irrationally angry.

5. Nail biting

Gross. Unsanitary. And gross again.

6. People who complain about having to do work while they are at work

So, did you think they were going to pay you and not ask you to do anything, or…?

7. When people audibly gulp/slurp their drink

Are you dying of dehydration? If not, please quietly sip your beverage.

9. Passive aggression

Say it to my face like the grown-ass human being that you are.

10. When people deeply sigh every five seconds

What are you so stressed about that you must involve me?

11. People who clap at the end of a flight

What are you even doing, seriously.

12. The phrase “cool beans”

If you aren't referencing Hot Rod, don't say it.

13. When people say “noms”, referring to food

Not an appetizing word.

14. When I pay for coffee and it isn’t right

Bonus points if I’m already too far away to get it fixed and my whole morning is ruined.

15. Students who ask professors questions during the last minute of class

Just wait until class is over so the rest of us can leave.

16. People holding full on conversations at the movie theater

You're not whispering, trust me.

17. When there is not enough of a food item left for a meal, but there is too much to throw away

Main culprits: peanut butter, cereal and frozen veggies.

18. When people stop in the middle of the sidewalk to text

This is 2016, I know your texting and walking skills are better than this.

19. When a driver waves you on, but starts to go anyway

Make up your mind.

20. When a child is screaming and the parent acts like they don't hear it

We get it. You deserve to be out. But please take your child outside for his meltdown.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
