Recently I was inspired to write this blog, and I encourage my fellow bloggers to respond with their thoughts as well. I don't consider myself an angry person or someone simply bursting with excessive rage, but I do have a list of things that simply get under my skin...pet peeves. Webester's Dictionary defines a pet peeve as "a frequent subject of complaint". These things might not occur frequently, but when these annoyances do cross my path, they simply will not do. For some of our friends these might be jeans in the summertime, big umbrellas, or even when her drink holder isn't called by its proper name...well, these are mine:
1. Pedestrians directing traffic: Have you ever been backing out of a parking space and one out of line pedestrian finds it necessary to direct you out of your spot? First of all, I have obtained a valid driver's license, therefore I know how to back out of parking spot. Second, I SEE YOU. I am not going to hit you as long as you cease from your traffic directing ways. You are not a police officer nor a flight attendant, so stop waving your arms and get out of my way before I hit you out of pure spite.
2. Leggings as pants: I have never met one person that can pull off this look. leggings and a dress? sure why not. Leggings and a top? NO. Leggings and big oversized Tshirt? HECK NO. Why is this accepted today? I can think of no reasoning that makes this okay. Did you wake up late and you were simply sleeping in leggings, so you grabbed your nearest shoes, which are alwaus your uggs, and ran out the door. I am quite positive that this is never or not frequently the case. Ladies, just put on some pants. your social and dating life will thank you. You look ridiculous.
3. Really far parts (in your hair): When girls part their hair reallllllly far to the side. This causes your hair to puff uncontrollably and cannot possibly be comfortable. It looks crazy and like you have been playing with your hair. Part your hair normally, and take off your leggings, you know who you are.
4. Facebook statuses that tell every aspect of your day: Sally just woke up, Biology at 9, then to the rec, lunch at the house, then homework (yuck!), naptime, dinner with the girls, movie tonight, then off to bed!.....SALLY! NO ONE CARES!.... If i wanted to know where you were at 11:46 pm then i would A. Stalk you or B. hire a private detective, and there is really no one besides Gerard Butler that is interesting enough to take that kind of time or effort. So people, If you want to put your entire schedule on facebook for the world to see, then be prepared for freaks that you graduated with to mysteriously "run into you" at your favorite hotspot or be waiting for you outside of your biology class, hoping to see you. and he will see you too, because he knows your every move. In the words of Sting, "I'll Be Watching You".
