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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
