Pet Peeves: 101

Do of these and you risk an imaginary annihilation

Pet Peeves: 101
Blogspot

I’m a critically cantankerous and curmudgeonly individual. Statler and Waldorf fused together in a single human brain . An old timer stomping around yelling to all you youngsters to “get off my lawn” even though I have no lawn. My fuse is short, and I’m constantly fantasizing channeling my irritation toward the guilty parties that irritated me. It might take the form of invoking some ancient Aztec fire deity and unleashing them upon my victim has crossed my mind. Vaulting across the room to pummel a poor soul with an intricate series of kung-fu fighting maneuvers has also crossed my mind.

Why would I imagine such an aggressive form of revenge or punishment? Did you borrow a movie and not return it? Nay. Have you insulted my family’s honor? Again, nay. What then, might warrant such creative, yet totally non-real, punishments? Since you’ve read this far, I’ll tell you. My would-be victims have been found in violation of one of my pet peeves.

What are my pet peeves? Look no further than below this statement a brief list:

Bad parking

I won't say that I created an instagram dedicated to bad parking jobs, but....

Mouth-open chewers

Seriously, don't be this person.

Classroom seat thieves

Any time of the semester is off limits, but do this near the semester's end and I'll break out in an ancient latin chant, sacrifice a rabbit, and drink its blood as I banish you to the lowest circle of Hell.

Pen thieves

This Liam Neeson meme says all that needs to be said.

"I seen"

It's "I see," "I saw," or "I have seen." Learn 'em, remember 'em, and love 'em. Otherwise you will suffer my wrath (my scowl).

Bad grammar/spelling/punctuation

Yes, I'm one of these people. Guilty as charged. By the way, it's 2017. Grammar Alt-Right, please.

One-dollar-over bidders

Just searching this last image via Google has caused my heart rate to spike. If it happened to me, I would likely be prosecuted for assault charges.

What are some of your pet peeves? Do we share any? Comment below to let me know.

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.

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.
