I’m not a totally negative person, but some things just get on my nerves.

Bad Table Manners
Noisy eaters. The ones that slurp, chomp, and crunch on a food that isn’t even remotely noisy for a polite person. It literally turns my stomach to hear someone “smack their lips” (chew with their mouth open and do the lip smack-y thing that Winnie the Pooh does when he’s finishing up his honey) while they’re eating. If nothing else, at least it makes me lose my appetite. Maybe that will help the diet I’m on! Seriously, though, it doesn’t stop there. Talking with a mouth full of food is also a big problem for me. I don’t know about anybody else, but I have a hard time eating something once I’ve seen it chewed up and mixed with saliva.

Horrible Grammar
One sentence that I’ve heard since I was little: “I don’t want to listen at you.” How exactly can you listen at somebody? I’m not a location, so nobody is “at” me. I just don’t get it. Also, how hard is it to understand the whole there/their/they’re and to/too/two concepts? I know that there were other people in my class when I learned that concept… In the FIRST GRADE! Yet people are always using them wrong.

Family Members
Not all family members, mind you, but mine have a habit of being overly passive-aggressive. They talk about me constantly. Hushed tones when I’m in the room next to them, but out loud when I’m away. I knew a long time ago that I didn’t fit into my family, and they prove it more every day. This is probably one of the reasons I have so many self-confidence problems, because they are constantly putting me down or insulting something I do. They ask me to do something, and I do it. But of course, it’s never good enough, and I hear about it in half-hushed tones for the next three days.

Anonymous Comment Griefers
Due to a recent bout of drama here on W-U.net, I’m forced to put this one up as my latest and greatest pet peeve. What kind of a decent person acts that childish and stupid? If you’re going to be that terrible, you might as well leave your real name. 99.9% of the time, people know who it is anyway. It’s pretty obvious, when there are very few people in this world that have any reason (justifiable or not) to act that way. The petty stupid comments are fine. Act stupid all you want. Say stuff about the site, or crack jokes that make no sense. But leave the personal attacks out. There’s no reason for it, seeing as how this is my site and my little space to do WHATEVER I want with. Deal with it, whether you like it or not. And if you don’t? See how quickly I can use my SK2.
