Here is a list I constructed of things that piss me off, or fill me in some kind of anger. I use this two lovely .gif files to show how I usually react when these listed annoy me.
Racism
I despise racism. I honestly think it’s one of the worst ways you could treat another human being. Sometimes I hate being white, and wish I could be something different, because I feel so ashamed and embarrassed by other white people’s ignorant and rude opinions. Especially in this area. It’s ridiculous.
When people copy you
One of my pet hates is if someone has the same item of clothing, handbag, etc as me. It drives me mad. I search for days finding things that are unique and then people somehow manage to copy me. Can’t STAND it. Most of the time I lie when they ask where I buy something. When it does happen I tend to stop using or wearing the thing completely because it reminds me of them.
When people text others
You know when you’re talking to someone then they begin texting? Or they don’t join in on the craic because they are secretly texting under the table? Hate that so much. If you like them so much why don’t you talk to them instead? Texting is for when you should be studying, or sitting bored on the bus, not with other people's company.
Conscientious people
Slap Slap. I hate teachers pets. You are losers, you know who you are. The coursework WILL get done in time, there isn’t any need to be working over lunch, or trying to scare other class members that deadlines are today. You are wrong. Wise up and enjoy your school life when you can.
“Like” on Facebook
I also don’t like people, especially younger folk who I somehow manage to be friends with, constantly ‘like’ groups on Facebook. It doesn’t make sense, most of these are statements! Surely if you found it amusing you would set it as a status update? This is why this social networking site has gone downhill, you all have made it tacky.
Gays/Homophobia/Sectarianism
Emma has summed this all up already. But basically, the world is screwed up enough already. We all only have a few decades here before we all die so wise up and stop fighting and make living worthwhile and better for everyone. We are all human and no one is more superior than the other, so just shut up.
Bad spelling
I’m not very good with grammar, as you may have noticed on my posts occasionally. I just fail at noticing grammar mistakes. I am not a grammar nazi, but I am a spelling nazi. I HATE bad spelling. Use spell check.
Capt..Captia...cap... Security Codes
You know them silly images you have to look at and verify you are human on almost every website you sign up to? I don't know about the rest of you, but I simply cannot fill them in. Am I stupid that I always get it wrong? I feel like I cannot remember how to read letters and numbers! It makes me feel stupid, and angry yo!
Note to the rest of the blogging community: Please please please untick the security code check on your Account settings, so then when I'm commenting on your posts I won't have to fill in one of those codes... Ty. ♥
Lack of manners
In school especially do I notice the lack of manners in people. Yes, it is irritating when a little first or second year runs in front of you, almost tripping themselves up to get to class on time, and not saying Sorry! or Excuse me. I would willingly knock them over and stand on their school bags/heads until they apologise.
It is worse however, when an adult or older person have no manners. That makes me so angry. Bad breeding!
When religion is dissed
As you get older, you observe and often land in the middle of a heated religious discussion. When you reach our age, everyone has their own opinions, and many would fight to defend their views. Only a few months ago did I hear a discussion about Evolution vs. Christianity: something which is a common topic to squabble over. Even the teacher contributed her thoughts. Being a Christian myself, I think you know what side I was on, but I must say I struggle to join in and defend my beliefs. Maybe I should..or maybe I shouldn’t? I don’t know.
I think it’s good that people are able to support what they believe, but when things go too far I just step back and say nothing.
It just makes me sad I guess.
It pisses me off too. Look at that Glee episode from a few weeks ago, “Grilled Cheesus.” That’s when it’s taken too far. That annoyed me a lot.
I know it’s bad, but when I hear people say there’s no god, I just think in my head “You’ll see.” And I know that sounds arrogant, but it's just how I react. Then I usually walk away. But that’s not gonna do much good either.
It’s a vicious circle, my friends.
Waiting
I have no patience. If I was to perfect anything about me, this would be it. My patience was best tested during my art interview, and I felt I wasn’t going to make it out alive. Even waiting for a bus, or walking behind someone slow in the corridor, I feel as though I am going to explode.
Crazy Asian people online
When I say “Asian,” I don’t mean the cool, sexy Asian, but the scary, pervy ones from Turkey (are they Asian?? wait what..) or some random country that I have never heard of. They somehow manage to worm their way into our life, even adding us on Facebook, not just the websites and chat us all up, it doesn’t even matter if your the age of 12 or 112. Leave me alone! I don’t care if I’m pretty or if you want to marry me, you are terrifying!
Procrastination
I do not understand the task that is procrastination. I have tried it, but my blood pressure was going to go through the roof due to the stress. What I don’t understand is what procrastinators do instead of what they are meant to be doing? Because if I procrastinated full time I would be a very bored person.
Terrorists
Nothing is more sad than the constant threat of terrorism in our country. One of my biggest fears is to be in the middle of a terrorist attack or a bomb scare. If the ‘troubles’ return to Northern Ireland, I will be the first to leave.
The sound of crisps
Last but not least, I do not like the sound of crisps being lifted from the packet. Especially in a quiet area like in the cinema. Shut up and bring Pringles instead! I think that’s one of the reasons why I don’t eat crisps often.
Oh! Not sure if Emma was the only to notice this, but I included Rain twice in my Awesome list. How silly of me!
I guess that makes him twice as awesome.
