32 Tiny Things That Make Me Irrationally Annoyed

Generally, I consider myself a friendly, accepting and uneasily-angered person. Having said that, there are some things that I ABSOLUTELY CAN NOT STAND. I can't help it. They get under my skin, make me uncomfortable or come off unreasonably stupid to me. I really just wish they weren't allowed...like, in general...in the world. Does that make me difficult? Does that make me irritable? Maybe. Personally, I think it just makes me human. I mean, come on, think of how many stupid pet peeves you have; some are rational, some are ridiculous, some are random, but all are somehow completely valid in your opinion.

Here's a list of 32 tiny things that make me (and I'm sure many of you) roll my eyes or freak the freak out:

1. When someone texts me "hey" and I respond right away...and then they don't ever answer.

2. When a driver gets mad that I tried to let them go at an intersection and insists that I go instead.

3. People who don't know the difference between "apart" and "a part."

4. When the person in the car behind me thinks honking at a red light will somehow make the miles of traffic disappear.


5. When retail (*cough, cough* Zumiez) employees literally follow me around the store.

6. When someone wears regular clothes to the gym.

7. When women who are barely older than me who call me "hun".

8. When someone accents the wrong syllable of a word/makes up a pronunciation.

9. When someone randomly texts "Whats up" in the middle of a conversation as if we hadn't already been talking for a while.

10. When you tell someone they can have a sip of your drink/bite of your food and they think that means the whole thing.

11. When a parent recites their 1+-year-old child's age in terms of months (trying to test my math skills or something).

12. When someone puts ketchup directly onto their fries instead of dipping their fries into the ketchup.

13. When someone points out that I have holes in my obviously purposefully-distressed jeans.

14. When someone refers to taking things "for granite" instead of "for granted".

15. The fact that some crazy person decided to create car eyelashes.

16. When a friend suggests you watch a movie together and then texts the whole time.

17. When someone eats all of the good parts (the brown circle-y things) out of the Chex Mix.

18. When someone denies the scientifically proven fact that Will Ferrel is hysterical (sorry, but not really sorry, to my roommate).

19. When girls post obviously-attractive pictures of themselves on social media with captions about being unattractive.

20. When someone I thought I might be into texts, "Let's play 20 questions".


21. Cheesy bumper stickers.

22. When someone says "belly" instead of "stomach."

23. People that pronounce "huge" as "you-ge".

24. When someone chews loudly or with their mouth open.

25. When girls wear heels with sweatpants.

26. Smart cars.

27. Sneaker heels.

28. When the average Joe Shmo puts "Public Figure" in their Instagram bio.

29. When someone consistently posts every detail about their personal/family life on social media.

30. When someone suddenly labels them self a photographer because they bought a nice camera.

31. When food sample people at the mall refuse to let me continue my day until I try a sample.

32. When mall kiosk workers won't rest until I let them straighten my hair, try a hoverboard or take 100 business cards.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
