Am I short tempered? I don't consider myself as such, but it's days like today that make me wonder how it's possible for others to annoy me THIS much, this early in the day. It is also days like today that remind me of some things that make my blood boil. Here's a list of 5 of my pet peeves.
1) People who don't know when to drop an argument - This is/was the problem today. I don't understand why someone would continue to bring something up that there is nothing we can do about now, and it really wasn't that big of a deal in the first place. Sure, sometimes I like to argue for the sake of arguing, and it may seem like I'm picking a fight, but I know when to quit. I know when to walk away and hold my tongue. Lucky for me I am able to get over things relatively fast, so once I've had time to cool off, I'm okay.
2) Straw biters - Nothing bothers me more than sharing a drink with someone and they go and bite the straw. Most little kids are guilty of this, but by now any kid I'm willing to share my drink with is well aware they are not allowed to bite the straw. On rare occasion I am guilty of this myself, but it's usually when I'm feeling anxious, besides, it's my drink I can do whatever I want with it.
3) Liars - I don't mean so much people who make up lies about themselves, but those who say they are going to do something and don't follow through. I think this bothers me so much because I tend to get my hopes up about certain things relatively quickly, so when they don't happen I get pretty sad more than anything else.
4) TOMS shoes - I wrote an entire blog post about this, I can't describe my dislike for TOMS enough. Even now I can't think of anything to say about TOMS that is not vulgar or obscene....I really, Really, REALLY HATE these shoes.
5) Strangers who sit/park next to you/your car in a otherwise empty movie theater/parking lot - I've had this happen to me more than once, and boy does it piss me off!! I've gone to the movie theaters a few times where me and whoever I'm with are literally the only people there. But sometimes during the previews a couple or two might trickle in, and with the ENTIRE theater open to them, they decide to sit, not only in the row we are sitting in, but only a few seats down OR directly in front of us....WHY?!? Why would you ever do this? Out of all the seats available to you why come and sit near me? Now I can't watch the movie in peace because all I want to do is either kick the back of your seat, throw popcorn in your direction, or talk loudly throughout the movie. BUT this is only if the theater is empty, if there are more than 10 people present, by all means go ahead and sit in my row.
