1. Sand in between the toes.
I don't mind if I just left the beach and have had a good time with friends and there is sand in between my toes. But that doesn't mean that after a couple showers it is welcome to stay there. Somehow sand just decides to move into my toes and live its life, no matter how hard I try to abolish these couch surfers they keep coming back.
2. People chewing with their mouth open.
It doesn't bother me if they are chewing gum because that's hard to chew in a polite manner. And yes I might be guilty for this when I am starving and can't get enough to eat, but is it so hard to chew with your mouth closed? No one wants to see mushed up food!
3. Chalk
Once and a while I draw something on the chalkboard and I realize that I'm not a fan of chalk. The way that some of the chalk runs off the chalkboard while writing something down. The way it leaves residue on your fingers and the way it sounds. Also when you go to erase it, it just smears on the chalkboard, creating a layer that never fully comes off. It only yields against water. I only like chalk when I rock climb or go to the gym. Then is it only acceptable? I guess what I'm trying to say is that chalk should not be used as a writing or drawing utensil. I will accept it for hopscotch, however.
4. People on the Metro that stand in front of the train door.
UGH! This is the worst! I just want to scream at them, "Don't you realize there are people coming out of the train?" It's just so very selfish as though they are the only ones that matter!
5. People who are impatient.Again I will use the metro as an example. So say the train is at a standstill in a tunnel or a station for around a thirty minute period. Everyone is at their wit's end and need to get where they are supposed to be. No less standing up for a long period of time with their luggage. And this one person seems to be fed up with it all. They keep looking at their watch. Sighing. Tapping their foot and scowling. Rolling their eyes every passing minute. It gets me so angry when I see this. I would like to say, "Who are you acting up for?" There is no camera trained on you. You don't need to be wasting your energy for the clear distaste! We all are experiencing this moment. You don't need to be showing us your dramatic emotions.
6. Sidewalk or Hallway Hoggers.
Whenever someone walks super slow or stops so suddenly! Whenever a group of people walk slow or stop and stay in a spot without moving to the side. UGH MOVE!
7. Rapid Texters.
People who don't wait for you to respond before launching into another subject or questioning you further. This causes me to have to double back and retype my response while trying to give my opinion as well. It's a bad experience. Then there are those texters who take a month to reply and when they finally get back to you they something that is really dumb like:
lol
cool
yeh
I freaking hate when that happens!!!! It's so unfair... I guess those aren't the right words. It's just really frustrating.
8. People who stand on the left side of the escalator.
Self-explanatory.
9. The sound of someone scratching their skin.
It's not pleasant once you listen to it.
10. When you try to cross the street and multiple cars turn onto the street your crossing.
And they clearly see you. Meanwhile, the crosswalk light is flashing five seconds. It is the worst feeling! Especially when you are in a hurry.
That's all for now! Over time I'll probably make more of these types of posts. Thanks for reading. If you want to tell me about some of your own pet peeves!
