We all have something that rubs us the wrong way; a "pet peeve," if you will. Annoyances like chewing with your mouth open, talking during movies, crying during sex, driving below the speed limit, smacking gum, leaving the lights on when you leave a room, that sort of thing. However, how many more of these pet peeves are present strictly in this era? With the addition of technology and the 'right here, right now' culture, what drawbacks accompany it? In 2016, we are quite advanced in a lot of wonderful ways: medically, socially, technologically, etc. But I can't help but think some things were a little bit more tolerable in the 1960s. Things change with the times, so what pet peeves do we have now that we wouldn't have had 50 years ago?

Drunk Dialing

Drunk dialing is super annoying, and we are all guilty of it. Whether it's your ex, your best friend, Pizza Hut, whatever. But 50 years ago, this would not be happening. Try and drunk dial on a rotary phone; you won't get very far. People didn't have to worry about locking their phones or giving them to a friend to hold onto. "I'm going to call him and just tell him I made a mistake breaking up with him and I'm sorry." No, Cynthia you're not. Because you can't sit up right, let alone figure out how to spin the correct combination of numbers. To be honest, if you were drunk and you dialed someone on a rotary phone, everyone in that situation would be impressed.

Wearing Headphones While Checking Out

I work in the retail industry and there is nothing more off-putting than when a customer comes up to talk to you or check out an item and they have headphones in. It is a rude behavior and makes my job more difficult and confusing. 50 years ago, you would listen to the radio in your car on your way to the cheese shop, and when you parked, you left the music behind. Don't get me wrong, I love portable music, but you just look like an idiot bopping to nothing in the wine aisle.

Texting During a Conversation

It drives me nuts when I am talking to my friends and I can see that they are looking down at their phones, typing away. You are having a conversation with me while having a conversation with someone else, a conversation that I'm not even a part of. In the 1960s, if you were having a conversation with someone that wasn't present while we were having a conversation, people would think you were insane. I mean, you wouldn't start writing a letter to someone else when you're engaged in an in person conversation with someone, so why do text? I just said something that was meant to be funny, but you are looking down at your phone and laughing, so I don't know if you're laughing at me or Mike from the bar last night.

Hipsters

Big, dark-rimmed glasses, corduroy pants, "better than you" mentality, sci-fi lunch boxes, knowledge on things no one knows/cares about, bowties: hipsters. 50 years ago, they were called nerds and we could just beat them up and shove 'em in a gym locker. Now we have to deal with "Oh, you've never heard of this band; they're really underground." A New York coffee shop could fill the gymnasium locker room lockers to capacity.

People Watching Vines in Public

There's nothing to take you out of your good mood than sitting in a restaurant and hearing the same 10 second video repeat three times. I cannot see it, I don't think it's funny, turn it DOWN. If this were 50 years ago, it 100 percent would not be an issue; the only repetitive things in your day to day would be a broken record player, maybe a jacked up tape, or a boyfriend telling you he's sorry for cheating on you again.

Long Snapchat Stories

There is no reason for you to send me a 200 second Snapchat video of you and your friends getting frozen yogurt. I love you, probably, but I don't care. Also why does it take 200 seconds to send me 10 pictures? You don't how long it takes me to look at pictures. In the 60s, if you did something you considered worthy of documentation, then you would hand me a stack of polaroids and I would flip through them at my leisure. No timing BS or forced video watching.

Texting/Talking On The Phone While Driving

Driving behind someone that steers like they are an old decrepit man and then pulling up next to them and realizing they are just a 25-year-old on a cell phone. You can be sitting at a stop light that turns green and be sitting there until it turns red again because the person isn't paying attention, and that's annoying. Or someone could be all over the place on the highway because they are texting, and that's dangerous. In the 1960s, people didn't have this problem. There were car phones in the 40s, but they that nipped that in the bud, because it was a safety issue! See what I'm getting at? 50 years ago, people utilized their landline from the safety of their homes, non-mobile, unless, of course, you lived in a mobile home.
