Always annoyed

The list of things that annoy me is absolutely endless, every day the list gets longer and longer, from people chewing loudly to being able to hear people breathing, i'm annoyed by everything. Picking one thing that annoys me over all others was difficult but since I just got my G2 and have started frequently driving there's been some things that annoy me while i'm on the road. When people don't signal when turning or changing lanes, WHY NOT. All you have to do is flip a little handle thing up or down to turn the light on and tell people what your intention is, it's really not that hard. Not signaling is like saying oh me and my vehicle are more important and we can do whatever, uh no get off the road. People that take up 2 parking spots or do a horrible parking job and block spaces, no your car doesn't need more room it's the same size as everyone else's and if your car is so precious that it can't have other cars beside it park it FAR FAR away. When people tailgate you, i'll slow down if you do it every single time. If you're in such a big hurry you should have left earlier, no need to ride the back of my car, pass if you want but get away from me. Never will I speed up to satisfy you i'll just keep the same speed or go slower to make you even more mad. When people text while driving annoys me over anything, it's already against the law and continuing to put other peoples lives in danger so you can check your phone. Don't check it when you're at a red light either because if you don't notice the second the light turns green i'll be even more annoyed. Those are just a few of the most annoying things drivers do, after rereading this i'm not sure I should have got my G2 but hey, at least i'll never take part in these activities.

Stop Rustling my Jimmies >:(

I find a lot of things annoying in everyday life, some just because I think they are common courtesy and others I suppose are just because I'm an irritable person. This is probably going to get me worked up and can't say that I'm looking forward to writing this since I'm going to have to think about all of the worst things in life all at once...Here we go!

• One of my biggest pet peeves is when people chew with their mouth open or slurp their food/drinks. My dad is Chinese and in their culture, they slurp their food, especially soup AND IT BUGS ME SO MUCH. I suppose I really shouldn't be mad at him because in Chinese culture, slurping shows gratitude to the chef and that you enjoy your meal and also, it was ingrained into him when he was a child but still, just... ugh...I'm already getting angry just writing the first of my many annoyances
• On that topic, people in general also annoy me, not even things people do or specific ones, just, people.
• Hangnails. Hangnails are the scum of the earth. Why do they even exist? Ruining a day with discomfort is their main purpose as far as I can tell
• s....lo....w.. *buffering* internet connections, when you just want to check something really quick like the weather but you can't check it in time before you have to leave the house, or maybe you want to watch a short video and it takes half an hour to load the advertisement
• Mondays. Who doesn't hate Mondays? You get to spend two days doing whatever you want, relax, sleep in, watch some Tv then BAM! Monday comes along, and you turn into a bear woken early from hibernation. fun fact: 
  
• Not covering your face when you sneeze. If I even feel one speck of moisture on my arm in the next second, run. I can't be held responsible for whatever happens next.
• Bottled water. Just use the tap...it's literally the same water, almost half of all bottled water is derived from tap water. Tap water legally needs to be tested and cleaned for it to be distributed to homes, bottled water is no more pure than the stuff from the tap. (Reference: http://www.businessinsider.com/facts-bottled-water-industry-2011-10?op=1)

I have many more things that annoy me, but the assignment wasn't to write and essay. Maybe it's just me, I don't know, but it seems like there are an infinite amount of annoying things in this world. Everyone has something that they do that will make someone else angry, no one is exempt, and that is why I find people annoying :D (2nd bullet point).

Fly On The Wall

I could go on for days about the things I find annoying.

• when chip bags are 70% air and 30% chips. 
• when animals try and cross the road in front of you but they just end up turning around halfway across and going back again. 
• Home Depot, you know a little bit of your childhood dies when you enter Home Depot.
• When my dad yells at the TV while he's watching Hockey. They can't hear you, Dad.

 But the thing the bugs me beyond belief. Is when your common housefly REALLY decides that it's going to live up to it's name. I'm about to fall asleep, thinking about all the things that annoyed me that day. When I start to hear the faint tick tick tick of an idiotic fly.  The insect that strongly believes that if it slams it's self against a wall hard enough it can go through it.
"Just get up and kill it, whats the big deal." Well, I'm not one to enjoy bug guts dangling from my ceiling. So I will spend a ridiculous amount of time trying to get my new roommate out of my room. Turing lights on and off to try and get it attracted to the light in the hallway. While trying to swoosh it away with a t-shirt. But, if I turn the light off in my room, of course, I can't see where the bloody fly went. So eventually I just start throwing articles of clothing around the room and hoping for the best.
 Forty-five minutes later, after throwing my whole wardrobe around the room.  My eyes adjust as I watch the fly realizes it's not welcome and walk slowly over the trimming and into the hallway. I watch in amazement as I quickly close the door behind the fly. My job is done. The fly and I are now neighbors instead of roommates.

I crawl back into bed, about to fall asleep, When I hear the faint click of the fly trying to become one with the back of my door.

Stuff that annoys Kat

There are a lot of things that annoy me, most of which are petty and kind of stupid but, here goes nothing. The first thing that annoys me is when my whole family does not sit down for dinner at the same time. Dinner time is supposed to be a family time where everyone tells each other about their day so, I will not and cannot start eating until everyone is seated and accounted for. Another huge thing that annoys me is when authors decide to kill off your favorite character (*cough cough* Veronica Roth). You spend a whole book (or possibly books) getting to know and love this gosh darn character and then the author goes and kills them. It's devastating because a part of you dies along with this beloved character and it's just not okay. One final thing that annoys me is when people get in my personal space. Things like walking down a crowded hallways, or standing in a crowd of people at a concert just get me flustered. It just really annoys me when people are unnecessarily close to me because, I like my personal space. I would consider these three things to be on the top of the long list of things that annoy me.

Chewing Loudly

The one thing that has the power to annoy me more than any thing else is people who chew loudly or with their mouth open. This one action has the power to not only ruin my meal but also make me angry and annoyed with you. This pet peeve most likely spawned from my father who lacks the skill to keep his mouth closed which then results in extremely noisy sounds and food spurting out of his mouth. If I could give you a reason as to why this bothered me I would. But I can't I just have an uncontrollable reaction when people fail to eat properly. When ever I come across a person like this I cant help myself but think "are you aware of how repulsive you look and sound right now?". A person with this habit is unsanitary and very rude. For example if I was to go on a date and you ate your food like you were raised by a cow I would get up and leave without another word. Therefore, if we're eating together please keep in mind that you should keep it in your mouth. :)

My Annoying problem with Felines

I'm actually really glad that is our post we need to write, because honestly I need to get this out to the world. I have a massive problem with my cats. Massive. No joke, no exaggeration. When looking at the feline species itself, there isn't anything too irritating about cats-besides the lazy, "leave me alone" attitude they tend to have. I can see why people like cats. They're likable.

But then there is my mother. She doesn't just like cats, she loves them. My parents share their own cat, Jack. He's this one eyed little bugger we got from the SPCA. Not only is he annoying because all he does is follow you around the house, whine in his little meow, and chew on my expensive clothing items, but I can't help feeling that I am in competition with the rascal. Cats and Humans are not equal. They just aren't. I love animals, I do and they should be treated with love and care but having your children apologize to your cat for lack of affection shown to it is outrageous. Yes, I will admit I have gotten a talking to for refusing to pet Jack when I've got better things to do. I get in trouble for yelling at him to stop laying on our kitchen table because every time I sit down to have a meal I find one of his measly hairs somewhere in it. I get questioned for that fact that I'm not paying enough attention to him, or playing with him. Because the number one thing on my agenda should be making sure that his every needs are met, how could I have possibly forgotten?

The worst thing is he's sociable, so everyone really likes him. I don't know how many times I've rolled my eyes when my two young cousins are so concerned about where "Jack Jack" is to play with him. Or when my friends come over, and just coo at him like he's the best thing in existence. The worst part is my mom bought a cat stroller. No word of a lie, a little vehicle to push around the King of our Residence. And I'll also admit, I've taken him for walks, and of course I have to suffer the weird looks of either being mistaken for a young mother, or a lunatic.

I think the final thing that just really bugs me, is Jack knows he's the favourite. He knows there is a part of him above me in our family hierarchy. I can see it in his eye when he watches me scoop the cat litter, as he mocks me silently. I don't know what will happen with Jack and I, and our current rivalry but I'm sure its bound to be interesting.

How Annoying

        I thought I was an easy-going person, but when I think about it, maybe I'm not. There are various things that annoy me so let's start with honorable mentions:

-Swearing, specifically the F word
-People who correct you on everything
-Conversation interruptions
-Others who think they are above other people and feel the need to show it
-Complainers who don't stop

       What annoys me to no end, are people who do not stand up for themselves. I mean, the bullies are just as annoying, believe me, but when people just sit there and let them bully them, it's really annoying. Of course I feel bad for the person, and if I ever witnessed such a thing happening, I would no doubt step in and help said person, but it is when the person allows themselves to be attacked, it's just aggravating. It's annoying because if someone was verbally abusing me (or anything else relating to any sort of abuse) I would stick up for myself without hesitation, so I guess I assume really anyone would do that, but they don't.
      It was a year or so ago I witnessed something. Someone had made a few rude comments toward my friend and my friend did nothing at all but frown. It was myself who stuck up for her. I asked why she didn't do anything and she merely shrugged and avoided the question. Relating this to the kite runner, ¨A boy who can't stand up for himself becomes a man who won't stand up to anything.¨ A quote that Baba made about Amir. While it seems particularly harsh, I believe that there are truth to these words. If Rahim Khan hadn't of phoned Amir as a grown man and told him here's a way to be good again." Would the rescuing of Sohrab take place?
      My point is, you shouldn't rely on anyone else to stick up for you, because sadly most of the times they won't, you have to stand up for yourself. I know what it's like to be a target. It sucks and it was unfair because I never did anything wrong. It was when I stopped hiding and stood up for myself I was finally left alone. If you are a target, you need to tell someone, but don't be afraid to stand up for yourself, it's amazing what a few words will do!
