shoo fly, don't bother me.

So I have come to terms with the fact that I will never find someone that I can marry because I am the pickiest person on the planet. I get it from my mom though. We both equally hate all the same things, weird, but true. Let me forewarn you that this blog post is nothing happy. In fact, it’s a post of all the things I hate and/or that get on my nerves. I just must share these with the world. I sit around nit picking everything people do that bother me all the time and I have to get it off my chest.

-people who insist on talking at crazy high volumes in the hallways of dorms at late hours. STOP IT.

-people who have bad table manners. Honestly if you didn’t go to cotillion, didn’t your parents teach you?

-smacking, slurping, crunching, etc.

-in class when someone’s cell phone vibrates against the table so loud. The point of vibrate is not to disturb, but it does.

-when girls (rarely guys) are talking crap about you and it’s so obvious. Seriously? Are we in high school?

-when people are eating chips or popcorn at the movies and they rattle the bag or the sound it makes when your fingers dig for the popcorn. YIKES.

-talking during movies.

-people who eat in class. As a future teacher, I find it extremely rude. Not to mention, it stinks up the room and I just hate the sound of people eating.

-people who walk slow in front of you, especially at the mall. I hate walking slow.

-mismatched clothes. Enough said.

-knock off hand bags. I could rant off on this for days. I am very fortunate in being able to afford handbags that are real (thank God for great parents) and I realize that not everyone can. However, I think that if I couldn’t afford them, I would NOT carry fake ones. It’s wrong on so many levels. It’s wrong to the designers. It’s wrong to buy them because it’s illegal. Even if you promote them to people and tell them it’s fake, it also lessens the value of those who have them. I hate seeing people with a fake version of my real bag. I see TONS of cute purses at places for only 20 dollars. (Although this is being a total hypocrite, I probably would carry a knock off Hermes Birkin because you can HONESTLY afford those? haha I guess some people can, but they are ridiculously expensive!) Anyways, I digress…

-Professors who are jerks. Enough said.

-Eating chips at the Mexican restaurant and making a loud crunch. Break the chip into bite size pieces, then dunk, then bite. SIMPLE.

-walking all the way to my class after getting up early and getting ready to find out that it has been canceled. Have some courtesy and send a freaking email. Ugh.

-waking up early in general.

- know it all’s. it’s like arguing with a sign post.

-bad drivers. I have the worst road rage. I feel as though no one can drive as well as I can. I honestly believe my life calling is a race car driver. And if I were, my car WOULD be pink =)

-t-shirts, purses, and stickers that say TWILIGHT or have the characters on them. I like the movies and the books; however, we are no longer in the fifth grade and there is no need to display such things to the world on your clothing or car.

-when people invite you to a thousand groups and/or pages on facebook. If I wanted to be a fan of yours, help your Farmville, or come see you sing in a open mic night I would do so WITHOUT a facebook invite. Thanks.

-last but not least or most important, when a girl burps. I understand that sometimes this may not be prevented for whatever reason, but it is VERY unladylike to burp at anytime and even more so at a TABLE. Ugh. I have honestly witnessed a female burping VERY loudly at a dinner table and then proceed to talk about it and how she likes to burp, etc. EW EW EW and more EW. I about died.

You all probably thing I am the weirdest person and that I hate everything, but that isn’t true. I just hate random noises and things that people do. I’m afraid that some people I am friends with might read this and feel as though they must walk on egg shells around me now. I’m not saying because you’re my friend you can do these things or that I don’t notice them. I DO notice and I DO internally cringe, but I won’t be a jerk about it. I might call you out jokingly sometimes. Anyways, enough with the things that bother me. I shall do a post about all the things that make me REALLY happy someday! I swear!

  1. Love your blog - I'm a decently new follower! I'm sure I would have a list just as long if I did this so don't worry. I hate slow walkers and many other things you mentioned. I'm picky and not that much/many people annoy me, but when someone does I cannot stand to be around that said person. A friend said I need to find ways so people don't annoy me (its not my fault I went to high school with more or less normal people and now in college its a little different). So anyway, I don't think you're at all crazy! Have a great evening!

  2. I love all of this! I have many of the same pet peeves except I'm totally that girl that will snack in class. All my classes are back to back and then with meetings and library time I rarely get to sit down for an actual meal but I do feel bad and I'm always self conscious about being too loud to eat.

    Also thank the LORD for cotillion. Yes knowing how to set at least 7 different tables may not always be the most practical but I know how to behave!

    Know that you're not alone!

  4. I hope that whenever you get off your parent's paycheck and on to the salary of an elementary school teacher, that you will still be able to afford those designer bags.

    You know what things get on my nerves?


    -desperate, unemployed people who can't feed their families or themselves

    -people who don't have homes because of natural disasters out of their control

    -animal cruelty

    -American consumerism and waste

    -hate crime

    -"Greek Life" participants who wear embroidered pants (gay as all get-out) and $80 Lacoste shirts while performing kegstands on the weekend... and who then go to church.

    -And most of all: stupid, fat, vain people who don't think about anything else but their handbags sewn by a starving kid in India. I'd rather have the "fake thing" made on an assembly line in China, and know that a baby calf's life wasn't sacrificed so that I can hang its hide over my shoulder and tout that its "a REAL Balenciaga!" woo effin hoo.

    Get a real hobby. Travel the world and get out of the south for a while. Then complain.

  6. i would just like to point out that I'm not greek. I go to a christian school that doesn't have greek life. I don't drink. I do go to church every weekend that I can. I don't own a Balenciaga handbag, I would love to travel the world and get out of the south, I hate crime also, so there we go....just thought I'd fill you in since you know me SO well.

  9. HAHAHA i love that "anonymous" threw in american consumerism. "american consumerism" and people like jordan's parents are keeping america's economy afloat right now, whether you like it or not buddy.

    and i sure hope you are doing everything in your power to stop all those things on your "hate list." good luck.

    can i make a hate list?
    1. self righteous people.
    2. bad drivers.

    that about sums it up.
