You know what really grinds my gears?

Those rascal scooters that people just HAVE to drive all over Disney World. And not to mention the people who bring a one-month-old baby, and still describe it as "their first trip." No – that is not even 1GB of memory.

I could go on and on, and I'm going to. We've all had those days where every little tiny thing annoys the absolute H-E-double hockey sticks out of you. So I have done you, readers, the honor of compiling together a list of things that commonly annoy most people (or people who just get annoyed easily, like me).


1. People who complain too much

Yeah, I get it. Here I am writing an article about all the things that annoy me. But hey, I'm not complaining, per say. I'm simply stating the things that annoy me.

But seriously, people who complain too much get on my nerves. Sometimes you just want to squeeze someone's head extremely hard and scream "SHUT UP," when every sentence out of their mouth is negative. Don't kill my buzz, Nancy.

2. Slow walkers, drivers, breathers... ANYTHING relatively slow

I am a busy woman. Every day I have something new to do, and I'm usually in a time crunch. I don't have time for people who drive 10 miles under the speed limit because they're texting their BFF Jill.

Get out of my way. Just move over. I have places to go and people to see. K thanks bye.

3. Screaming children

I get it, parenting is hard. Sometimes it actually drives parents into depressions and acute anxieties.

But there is absolutely no reason as to why I have to listen to your child cry because they can't get a toy or you won't let them play with your phone. THAT is where discipline comes into play, my friends.


4. People who talk when I'm trying to read

For anyone that does not know, I am a college student that takes many history classes and I have to read all of the time.

What really grinds my gears is when I am studying and people talk to me. Not being a butthead, but seriously, if you see someone studying just let them study and catch them after class. It would be appreciated.

5. People who chew too loudly

Do I really need to explain this one?

6. To add on to #5, people who BREATHE too loudly

I cannot. And I mean cannot stand this. It might be the one thing that grinds my gears the most.


Well, there you have it. I hope others can relate to what annoys me because sometimes we all have one of those days. Maybe this will brighten yours.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
