9 Things That Drive Me Bonkers
Megan Thackston

There are a few things in this world that drive me absolutely bonkers. I am not the most organized person by all means, but these few things really irk my nerves and I'm not sure why. Maybe I'm just extra.

1. When the cheese packet isn't torn evenly.

I know there is a tear here sign and if you can't tear it evenly yourself get some scissors. I have unevenly torn a few myself and felt like I failed at life.

2. The volume in my car or on my TV must be on an even number.

If I get into my car and the radio is on an uneven number I know someone else must have driven it, or someone is trying to mess with my feelings.

3. Loud chewing, or gulping on drinks.

I can not deal with noises. I eat with the TV or radio loud enough that I don't even hear the forks scratch the plate or I give everyone plastic silverware. If you have to breathe real loud after taking a drink you need to slow your roll.

4. Clapping at the end of a movie in a movie theater.

No one in the movie, nor the producers can hear you cheering. You look foolish. Can you please move your legs or get up so I can leave before the parking lot floods?

5. When people pull the race card for everything.

No one is pulling the race card every time they speak. Chill out, people can dislike a president or an idea without being a racist. The "race card" is a cheat-shot way to get your way because nobody wants to be labeled a racist.

6. People who seek attention all the time.

You're only a "big deal" to your loved ones. I'm sure you are a lovely person, but constantly bragging about yourself and throwing your success in everyone's face gets old. We get you're successful.

7. When I'm talking about someone and the person I am talking to drags out the first name until I say the last.

Me: "Oh, Sue came in the library today."

Person of annoyance: "Sueeeeeeeee..."

Me: "Sue Jones!" (while rolling eyes)

Would it kill you to simply say " Sue who?" You just wasted five minutes of my life that I will never get back.

8. Really thick eyebrows. Is that an upside down canoe or an eyebrow?

Eyebrows have become an art. Thick or thin, dark or light, get a second opinion before experimenting. It's your face for crying out loud not a floor that you can add a fuzzy rug to for decoration.

9. People who breath loud.

I'm not sure if you have asthma or just happen to be a mouth breather. Either way take a breathing treatment or contact a physician because I'm about to scream!

Yes, I have Misophonia, literally ‘hatred of sound,’ is a form of decreased sound tolerance. People who have misophonia are most commonly annoyed, or even enraged, by the sound of other people eating, breathing, coughing, or other ordinary sounds.

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.
