Black Listed.

I am bothered by...


1. Jello.
Squiggly, jiggly, artificially flavored, hardened sugar water. What is jello? It consists of gelatin, water, artificial flavors, and food coloring. I mean, why? WHY? It doesn't even have a proper consistency, is it a liquid? or a solid?
2. When tags stick out of peoples shirts.
This one, I can't explain, it just annoys me.
3. When people stare.
I mean COME ON. Is it really necessary? REALLY?A quick glance once over is fine, even more then one is okay. But when somebody full on stares at you for an eternity its nerve racking. I get paranoid sometimes, "What the heck are they thinking? Is there something on my face? Do my socks match? Do they have laser vision?!"
4. Crowded hallways.
When I'm trying to get to my locker, there's rarely a time when I don't have to push my way through a pack of grade nine's. Sometimes I have to overshoot my locker entirely in order to wait for a moment when I can turn around without getting trampled.

5. Flat pop.
You get all stoked because soda's a treat. Then you go in for a sip, and instead of the flavor full carbonation your taste buds are waiting for... you get nothing but a syrupy disappointment.
6. Sand in you're hair.
As many times as you might shower after a day at the beach, you will always find a couple stray grains of sand in your hair for weeks afterwards.
7. When someone is listening to music really loudly.
There are two types of this that bug me:

  • When its on an MP3 and you can hear it, but only loud enough so you can't make out the words.

  • When music is pumping super loudly from cars. Does it need to be that loud


8. Writers block.
I can't think of anything to say about this.
9. When you shed hair, and it sticks to your back.
As many times as you might pick off the hairs, over and over again, there will always be more. It's the return of the obnoxious hairs!
10. When people talk on their cell phones while driving.
Its both not necessary and dangerous.
11. Knuckle Crackers.
When you take one of your knuckles and force it into making it crack when its not even supposed to do that in the first place, its disgusting. I cant help but gag every time i hear someone crack their fingers. Why does it need to be done? It doesn't really do anything but help you pave and easy path to arthritis later on in life.
12. Boys who wear they're pants below the bum.
The majority of the female population would agree that it is unattractive when boys pants are so far past their derrieres that they can't even walk properly. Its especially humorous when these guys are wearing belts and their pants are still that low, all I can say is "Why don't you put those belts to good use, instead of wasting your money on them?"
13. Excessive profanity.
Stop f***king swearing.
14. Re-runs.
You get all excited to see your favorite show, all the commercials for the newest one are on and you keep thinking, "Man, this is going to be a sweet episode." Then what could happen but a nice re-run, not the one you were waiting for. Oh, the cruelty.
15. When the elections are on and the TV show you want to watch is cancelled because of them.
Yet again, you're very favorite television show is on, and its the only reason you ever really watch television, and the elections are broad casted on every single channel.
16. When political leaders slam each other through the media.
I think its very childish to slam your opponent in such mean ways, really, just grow up. You want to lead our country? Stop insulting people.
17. People who talk during a movie.
Shut up you rude people. You want to talk during a movie? Rent one and talk at home. You didn't pay to sit there and catch up on the latest gossip, you payed to watch a film.
18. When people don't pick up their dog poop.
That's just gross. Who likes to walk through dog poo? No one? Oh well, its a little hypocritical if you leave it for someone else to step in then, don't you think so?
19. Missing the bus.
Even worse than missing the bus? Missing the bus by seconds, and you can see it just turning the corner, that's just brutal.
20. Thinking you have enough money, but don't.
Cashier: "Can I take your order?"
Customer: "Yes please, a small drink and a muffin please."
Cashier: "On debit?"
Customer: "Yes."
Machine: Insufficient funds.
Customer: "Oh, you cruel, cruel world."

Things are all around us these days that bother, bewilder and disgust us. Everyone has their "pet peeves", what are yours?
