There's many things in life that suprisingly bring me to my edge. I'm not usually a judgemental, hypocrite who gets annoyed at every little thing. But realistically there's alot of little things that make me want to curl my toes and take a deep breath.
Example 1.
Windows? Usually when you shut something like a door (ah the beauty of a door) the light stays out and the beauty continues with the fact that whatever is standing on the other side of the door, I CAN'T SEE IT! But a window... a transparent square that not only allows sunlight and sound in, but allows me to see everything that's outside. Sure thats sometimes the bonus of a window, ' ah the beautiful view from this room'. Sure it's beautiful, but all the the negitives of a window don't even compare.
Example 2.
That small crinkle of plastic mixed with tinfoil and the swarms commence. Kids from across the school get the detector that someone has just pulled out a pack of gum and they want some. The clastriphobia and random flat hands attached to forearms that seem to disapear in the crowds are just a couple of the signs that you've been attacked my teenage 'gum'junction. Why must kids think it's alright to ask for a peice of gum when they never bring any to school or share it with anyone else.. get real. My advice is don't bring gum to school, or be subject to the swarm.
Example 3.
Getting gifts at Christmas is always a gamble. There's a 1 in 99 % chance it's something you wanted, and 98% chance something you did not want ( the extra 1% is for those kids who really like anything they get, or that don't get gifts cause they're bad ). My classic line at Christmas when I don't like something is " Awh thanks! It's what i've always wanted". You'd think people would catch onto this line because I say it so often around the Christmas tree. What on earth would make you go out and purchase this present for someone, on purpose. What terrible drug were you on when you thought that this would be okay. No one ever wants a picture of their family members in a frame for Christmas. I'm sorry, I see my cousins almost every day... I dont need 100 pictures of them in my house. Another gift no no is socks! Yes socks are handy to have around, but if you're big gift to me aunt tammy is another pair of Christmas socks with dangly Christmas tree pom poms, your seat at the dinner has been given away. I know the thought is what counts, but if I go out and buy you boss gifts, I better not be getting socks or a picture of your kids.
Sure the little things bother us all, but sometimes it's good to let it out.
Tori, this is quite interesting. I love reading about peoples pet peeves, and you wrote about yours in a comical way. That made reading it quite entertaining. I also enjoyed your creative language. Especially the line, "you've been attacked my teenage 'gum'junction". Wonderful job!
