14 Things That Grind My Gears

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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
