The other day I noticed how irritating people can be with simple actions. I started making a list and what I found out is that we all hate these actions. Which makes me think, why do people still do them? Here's a list of everything I have found annoying within the past few days. P.S. If you do one of these things... please stop.

Coughing or Sneezing without covering your mouth.

First of all, just why? What in the world makes it okay to even consider doing this? No one wants your germs on them whether you are sick or not. Cover your mouth!

People who don't say, "Bless You." after you sneeze.

First off, let me just say that I have no idea why we say, Bless You after someone sneezes. I don't recall anyone knowing the true reasoning behind it but we do it. It's polite. For you to ignore the sneeze like it didn't happen is kind of ignoring the fact that a human soul is not directly in front of you. Be nice, and share the friendly gesture.

Chewing with your mouth open.

Anything that you put in your mouth whether it be chips or noodles, we can hear you. Please, just stop slapping your lips and close them. Your making us all want to go over there and shut your mouth for you.

Not picking up your feet when you walk.

This is one of the first tasks we learn that we can do one our own. it's fairly simple, just pick up and let down one at a time. Yet, somehow you guys still tend to drag your feet with every step. Act like a spy and pick them up!

People who say, "ew" to whatever's on your plate.

Whatever happens to be on my plate does not need your comment. I didn't ask you for your opinion on what I'm about to consume.It is not on your plate therefore your thoughts are not needed.

Leaving the kitchen cabinets open.

You open it, so close it. There is absolutely no reason on why you should leave it open.

When you let a car cut in front of you, and they don't say thank you.

I was nice and decided to let you in, I did not have to. Least you could do would be to wave and say thanks. If I'm not, I will happily run my car into the back of your car.

Not using turn signals.

We all have waiting on a person going rolling slowly down the street for them to turn before they pass you. Nothing will hurt you to use your turn signal, in fact it's against the law if you don't. So, be polite and use your blinker. Save your a** from getting a ticket in the future.

Open a door for someone and not receiving a thank you.

I took my sweet time to wait on you, opened the door for you to go in first and you can't even say thank you? How. Rude.


Using the speaker on your phone in public.

Why does this happen so often? You are in public, buy yourself a nice pair of headphones and save us all the headache of having to listening to both sides of your conversation. Don't even get me started on when you play your music or the sounds from your game on your phone.

Using your phone while at dinner.

Or anywhere else when you're with someone. It's rude. If you can't put your phone down to spend time with the person your with you should have cancelled plans.

Couples sitting on the same side of the booth.

I know you guys are SO in love that you feel the need to be touching each other every minute, but you're at dinner. Let's go back to middle school dances, face to face and leave some space. If you two are so in love it cannot and will not kill you to sit facing your significant other for 45 minutes.

Closing a Zip-lock Bag without getting the air out.

Just why? Get the air out of that bag before you seal it. It makes more sense to do it then not to.

Not turning the light off when you turned it on.

Do Not leave an area without turning off the light when you had to turn it off. Nothing is more irritating when someone comes in your room to talk to you, flips the light on, and leaves without turning it off. COME ON, PEOPLE!


Putting the EMPTY milk carton back in the fridge.

This makes absolutely no sense what so ever. If you finish it, throw it away! There is no reason to put it back in there. It's a tease and rude. What are you going to do if you poured your cereal in a bowl, go to grab the milk, and it's completely empty? You cannot just pour the cereal back in the box. It was hard enough to get out without the bag completely falling out of the box; I'm not about to attempt to gt it back in there.

Putting the new roll of T.P. on top of the empty one.

Not only did you take the time out of your day to get a new roll of toilet paper, but you decided not to replace the old one. What goes through your mind that makes getting it out and putting it on top of the empty roll any sense?

Putting the T.P. Roll on backwards.

The toilet paper is supposed to roll towards the person sitting on the throne, not away from them. Common sense.


The lack of common courtesy along with common sense In this day in age is kind of sad. After reading this and you find yourself doing one of these disgusting things, just do us all the favor, PLEASE STOP.

Sincerely,

The human population.

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.
