You're probably annoying in one way or another.

4 Ways To Not Be Annoying
Bored Panda

Being annoying can be.... annoying, and honestly, I think I'm the most annoying person. I know I'm annoying, and I know when I'm being annoying. However, I can't stop being annoying since, as annoying person, my personality is based off of being annoying. Because I'm so annoying, I tried to figure out what I do that makes me annoying, and I mentally wrote down my annoying traits. To make life easier, I also marked down what my parents do that annoys me because I'm in the stage of life where everything annoys me. After the arduous task of bothering people to tell me how I'm annoying, I made a complete guide on how to NOT be annoying: do the exact opposite of what the annoying person does.

1. DO NOT Persistently Bug People over The Same Topic

...over and over and over and over and over again. I obviously do this all the time. If I don't get something, I keep asking until I do, pestering other people which is a waste of effort. Sometimes, persistence and curiosity do not make a great pair. Another instance, repeatedly giving the same advice only beats a dead horse. My dad always bugs me about doing work all day, and he always gives the same old lectures. Even when the topic is completely unrelated to work, he always twists the subjects around, returning to topics like colleges and studying, which, as a person who despises sedentary activities, annoy me tremendously. For example, I go to the fridge to get myself a cup of milk, then realize that there was no more milk because I drank the last carton. I tell dad, yet the conversation takes a turn, and he tells me to make my own money, to do that I have to study and to go to a good college. That's great, but all I wanted was milk.

2. DO NOT Be Loud

I find annoying are loud people, like those girls at lunch who are always giggling in a high pitched pig squeals, or me, who cackles like an evil witch. Though I am aware that my laugh isn't very attractive, I try to hide it and end up choking on the laugh, which results in weird noises coming from my nose. My dad, like every other male, has a really loud voice, and it ticks me off when he lectures me with that sound box, especially on topics that I've heard hundreds of times.

3. DO NOT Ignore Texts

My sister complains all the time about her friends not replying. I kind of get how she feels when someone I really want to talk to doesn't respond. However, when I ask my sister why she feels that it's annoying, she says, "I don't know!!! It just is!!!" However, people who reply at the speed of an old man who has to find every letter he wants to type, truly annoy me. I'm typing as fast as my fingers can go, and then I'm staring at the screen for two minutes straight, waiting for them to respond.

4. DO NOT Excessively Complain/Brag

Did you get a 20 on your quiz in AP Chem? Sucks to be you. Sure, you can complain about that for a day or two, but three months later and you're still salty? Get over it. Same thing for those who get 100's and complain that their averages went down a point because they didn't get the bonus. That makes those who failed the test feel worse. Especially when they go around telling everyone about their "failure."

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
