We All Have Pet Peeves....What's Yours?

I have composed a list of my top five pet peeves. To say the least, this was actually difficult for me. I find myself a pretty easy going person, but certain things just drive me crazy! These aren't in any particular order either, but here goes!....




#1: People who lack communication.

I'm not talking about people who don't care to be around other people. I am referring to the kinds of human beings who literally do not know how to communicate. Whether it's via email, text, verbally or even snail mail it is not that hard to communicate with others. In order to survive in this ever-so-fast-paced world that we live in, we have to learn how to communicate and converse with one another. People who 'talk around' issues or avoid conflict drive me bonkers. Or even when people can't have a simple conversation like, "How are you?", "I'm great, you?" On a side note, I miss the simplicity of a phone call or even a coffee date to talk. Nowadays I feel like it's socially unacceptable when I call my family just to catch up and talk to them for no reason...the struggle is real.

#2: Leaving sinks/tubs dirty.

Whether there is hair at the bottom of the tub, toothpaste dried up on the side of the bathroom sink or food particles stinking up the sink/drain, I can't stand it. This has got to be one of my biggest pet peeves. No one wants to take a shower with hair clogging up the tub or brushing their teeth in a filthy sink. It's disgusting. Just clean it up.


#3: People who treat others like they're stupid...

Giving someone advice or simply asking them if they need help with something is not that hard. I can not deal with people who make others feel dumb...all. the. time. Instead of saying, "You know, there's definitely a better way to do that," you could say, "Hey, could I show you another way to do that? I find it easier." Life is all about learning new things, whatever they are...so think before you approach someone with a snooty comment.

#4: Snooty people.

Speaking of making snooty comments... People who constantly have their nose in the air. Ugh, it's the worst. How does your neck not hurt from profusely having your nose sticking up to the glorious high heavens above?! Are you sniffing for air? There's plenty to go around. Get your nose out of the air, your neck is going to snap. No but seriously, I will never understand people who walk around like others owe them something. I came from a background where you treat others as you want to be treated, and that you're just as equally awesome as everyone else. There's not need to trot around like you're soooo fannnnc-y.

#5: Laziness.

Our world is split into thirds.... You've got people who are just flat out lazy and don't care about their life or where they're headed. Then you've got people who work their tails off to get what they want to be happy and successful. And then you've got people who don't lift a finger because everything is handed to them because they know somebody who knows someones uncle who golfed with someones boss who knows a man from England who used to dog sit for a family that owns the most successful car dealership in the world.... Okay, but really...it's not that hard to get what you want by working hard. I realize not everything is peachy-keen and may not work out exactly the way it's supposed to, but being realistic about what you want in life and working hard doing it will get you far!

This may have come off a little strong, but I am passionate about a lot of things and pet peeves are one of them. You get me going and I'm not stopping! ;)

Since I threw my pet peeves out there, I want to hear about yours! Comment below and let me know what drives you up the wall. Remember there are no hard feelings as to how we feel, we all have our own pet peeves.
