Everyone’s got one. Or even some. I’ve got lots.

Sometime last week at work, a couple of people were discussing quirks, and little, tiny things that annoy them (or even big things that get them fired up). This discussion also occurred in church, and for both times, I couldn’t really converse with people because I was unsure of what my pet peeves were. Perhaps, I’ve lived life so far thinking that I’m an easy-going person, and that it’s difficult for anything/anyone to get under my skin. To a certain extent this is true, but then, as I delved into the subject further, I realized that this statement is absolutely false.

So without further ado, here are some of my pet peeves (the major ones anyway):

• Clock ticking: If you’re a ticking clock in my bedroom, where I’m trying to sleep, you’re as good as dead. There’s nothing in this world that I hate more than a ticking clock when I’m trying to sleep. The sound of those ticks usually magnifies in a quiet room. And this magnified sound usually induces migraine. I don’t need migraine in my life, I’ve got enough headaches already.
• Do not steal my pens/pencils: I like my writing utensils. Don’t steal them. Or don’t borrow them and then tell me you “forgot” you borrowed them. That’s still stealing.
• Cracked CD cases/wrecked DVD cases: Do not borrow any of my CDs (compact disc? I know, vintage.) or DVDs only for me to receive them with the cases all messed up. I lend you my stuff back in mint condition, I want them back in mint condition! This goes with books as well.
• Teenagers that think they’re immortal: I highly dislike teenagers. Even when I was a teenager, I hated teenagers. They have this odd notion that their immortal (maybe not all, but most of them). Hence, they believe that they can get away with anything. And the things they think they can get away with, I’m highly annoyed by.
• People who can’t help themselves: I can’t stand full-grown adults who are completely dependent on others. I just can’t. You have your own life, live it.
• Scalpers: They are the dirtiest scumbags in the world. The lowest possible form of a human being.
• People taking credit for something they didn’t do: Using one’s work as an inspiration, that’s acceptable. Completely taking someone’s work and passing it as your own, that, I cannot respect.
• “Good” looking people thinking they’re too good for people: I just call them ugly douchebags, cause they’re hopeless.

These are just some of the things that make me want to shoot fireballs at anything or anybody. There’s more, but I’ll keep the list short. This blog site can only take so much hate-o-rade.
Yes, I said, “hate-o-rade”.
