Why Are People So Annyoing!?- A Guide to Pet Peeves

Gum Smacking

Close your mouth. Close it, close it. Especially when you are sitting behind me and I can’t hear anything BUT your smacking. STOP IT!!!!

The Clunkers

That sound of heels hitting the pavement at a rapid rate drives me crazy!! Clunk, clunk, clunk. That is so bad on your body too. Trade them in for a nice pair of sneakers and your body (and me) will love you for it.

Finger Snap!

If someone snaps at me to get my attention and/or hurry me along, I don’t feel responsible for the repercussions. It’s just rude, and maybe such a problem for me because of some childhood memory I long ago repressed, but I can’t stress enough how short of a path this is to you not liking what I do next.

People on cell phones in any sort of shopping situation

Here’s the scenario. You’re waiting in line at the drugstore. The idiot in front of you is gabbing away on her cell phone. The cashier says, “I can help the next person in line” and the idiot on the phone is too busy gabbing to hear. So busy, in fact, that she misses the second plea to assist her, and you have to actually poke her to get her to pay attention to what is happening around her.

[And when I say poke, I really want to say slap. But then that would be crossing the line, wouldn’t it?]

Professional Flakes

This is me getting a little personal, but how old are most people nowadays? If I ask somebody I’m doing business with to call me at so-and-so hour, or I ask that a certain deadline be met, what is so hard about making that happen?!? Is it just me, or are there more people playing dumb as a valid excuse these days?

Super Moms

I see these women everywhere! Rich and super they are with their perfect babies and their perfect strollers. They have the latest style and it is never less than $1,000. These moms always talk in their baby voices to their babies AND their friends, husbands, and selves.
I hate them! I just want to throw their babies out of the carriage and mess up their perfect hair! Ok, I’m done.

Please get a life.

The Bluetooth

See this man above? Great example of what NOT to do. Take the earpiece off if you are NOT using it. When this person talks on his headpiece it looks as though he is talking to himself. He doesn’t seem to notice, he is the only one in the world alive.

If I were his date, I’d yank it off his ear and throw it really really far and then chase after it to make sure that he couldn’t find it later!

People who don't use their turn signal

Ugh. I would like to equip my car with darts to shoot at these people.

Slow walkers

Okay, it’s one thing if we’re all back in Brooklyn and it’s a Sunday. Whatever. But if you’re in Midtown, on a Tuesday, and everybody around you is rushing to get somewhere – WHY THE HELL ARE YOU JUST STROLLING DOWN 8TH AVENUE LIKE YOU’RE THE ONLY PERSON THERE?!?!?!? UGH!

Making Change

How bout this one:

Anyone get annoyed when someone makes change for you and they pile it up in you hand so that it spills everywhere? Happens all the time. Let’s get organized here. Bills then change. Thanks.

Tall Guy + Really Short Girl = GillianS feels stabby.

I know, the heart wants what it wants, but my heart wants a guy that’s over 6’ and these tiny chicks are keeping them constantly occupied! I think if you have to stand on something to kiss someone, you shouldn’t be allowed to date them.

PS: The above movie looks amazing!
