Alright, we all have things that we can't stand and drive us absolutely crazy. It's just a part of life and part of who we are as people. This is a list of the top 5 things that drive me absolutely crazy. They aren't really in any specific order.
1. Poor spelling and grammar.
Ok, I'm not a grammar expert, but at least I know the basics. If you don't know the difference between things like to, too and two, or there, their and they're, then you should probably get some help. Apostrophes are ridiculous as well. Why does no one know how to properly use an apostrophe? It's nuts.
2. When people say they don't read books.
You may as well be labeling yourself as an idiot. There are so many different book genres out there that I don't see how it's possible to get away with saying that books are boring. Sorry to any of you reading this who fall under this category, but seriously, you could find a book you like if you'd try.
3. Poor table manners.
If you're one of those people who eats like Mr.Fox and ends up getting crumbs everywhere, spills their drink at least once and ends up with stains all over their shirt, then please, for the sake of those dining with you, get some lessons on etiquette. It's just really gross and unbecoming when someone doesn't know how to eat in an organized, civilized manner.
4. When people obsess over celebrities.
So, you don't know this person, they don't know you even exist, they probably don't even care, but you are apparently "in love" with them... This is very prevalent in people who fall under the categories of "Beliebers" and those with the "1 Direction Infection." Seriously, the odds of you marrying any of them is less than the odds of winning the Power Ball Lottery.
5. When people get mad at or make fun of people with special needs.
Seriously, is your own self-esteem so low that you have to pick on someone who can't help the way they are? If someone is born with a disability, then they can't help it. It's not their fault. Grow some compassion in that calloused heart of stone and BE NICE!
That concludes my list of of pet peaves. What are yours? Leave them in the comments and feel free to check out the rest of my blog.
