14 Things That Grind My Gears

Are you serious? Who raised you?

14 Things That Grind My Gears
Ranker

Every once in awhile I get asked, what are your biggest pet peeves? And when you put me on the spot, I suddenly have nothing which is mind blowing since the littlest things usually drive me crazy. I like common sense and people who have it. If you don’t, then we probably have a problem. But that’s a completely different story.

Anyways, I’ve started to jot down my pet peeves in my Notes as I realize them. I do it just in case I ever get famous and am asked about them, I’ll have my answer ready to go.

1. When people blow their nose in public

For example, in the middle of class. You can’t go to the bathroom or into the hall to be gross? Where are your manners?

2. Before & After collages in the wrong order

Its supposed to go before on the left then after on the right. Not the other way around. That doesn’t even look right.

3. Being spoken to like I’m dumb

Have you ever asked a legitimate question and you get responded to with attitude? Like don't talk to me like I'm dumb, I am not a baby.

4. When people don’t have proper manners


If I take time out of my day to bless you after you sneeze or hold the door open for you and you don’t thank me, we’ll have a problem forever.

5. When I don’t get blessed

Did you not just hear me sneeze? Bless me.

6. People who don’t have common courtesy.

When you’re getting off the train/bus and the person waiting at the stop doesn’t wait for you to get off first. I come off the train first then you can get on.

7. When people chew with their mouth open or smack their food

8. Being childish.

Remember in third grade when you wore your cool new shoes to school, someone noticed and asked “oh are those new?” Then they purposely stepped on them after you said yes? Yeah , that really grinned my gears as an eight year old.

9. Using the wrong terms for social media.

It is not “follow me on snapchat” or “add me on twitter.” It’s ADD me on snapchat and follow my twitter. It’s not even that hard? Just get it right.

10. When fake eyelashes aren't applied properly

I see that little corner that’s not sticking and it is driving me crazy.

11. When people sneeze and don’t cover.

NOW YOUR NASTY GERMS ARE EVERYWHERE. ARE YOU KIDDING?!

12. When my door gets left open

I know you did not find my door open, close it when you leave.

13. Lying parents

Why are you telling me the food is done but when I come to the table it’s nowhere near done? I can’t even trust my own mother.

14. When you’re arguing with someone & all of a sudden they're literate

Oh, now you know how to use punctuation and the proper you’re? Where was all this enthusiasm when you almost failed tenth grade English? That still doesn’t make your argument valid.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
