What
gets you? What really gets you? In no particular order, here’s what gets me.
People
who line up mad early in economy to be the first people seated on the flight.
What is your hurry? You look silly. I’ve never been unable to put my bag overhead
or been told to check my bags. How about you bring less stuff you savage? We
are all getting on the same flight people.
I’m
only half joking when I tell people I would break up with a girlfriend if she
was super picky whilst ordering at Subway. I wouldn’t last 30 minutes as a
Sandwich Artist. Can I have extra pickles please? A few more…oh that’s too
much. I QUIT!
Littering
and smokers that treat the Earth like their trash can. I will punch you right in
the mouth grandma.
Oh,
so you want me to let you in but aren’t going to give me the semi-mandatory
wave to acknowledge my driving compassion towards you and your Ford Focus?
You
want to touch me with your freezing cold hands? How about I never look, think
or talk to you for the rest of eternity?
Don’t
say thank you; I didn’t notice or care.
Sure,
swear around your little kid. That seems appropriate and in the best interests
of everyone long term.
You’re
is equivalent to you are. How many days of class did you miss in elementary,
middle and high school? 90%?
Too
is tooooooo much or toooooo many things. I get toooooo upset over this.
Having
wet hands. It just isn’t right.
Unable
to connect to the Wi-Fi.
Losing
essentially anything.
Thinking
something is completely charged but the battery is dead. Hold me back.
Unsubscribing
from emails but the emails don’t stop. Whyyyyyy?
Going
out for dinner with a massive group of people then trying to split the bill
evenly. I only have 100’s. I only have debit. I forgot my wallet. I’ll be eating alone next time.
People
who call me Brett.
When
the dentist asks if I’ve been flossing. We both know the answer to that sir.
When
you realize that almost every problem can be solved by making a list and
thinking ahead then not ever making lists to get ahead.
Wet
socks.
An
empty ice cube tray in the freezer. That one gets me good.
Buying
meatless meatballs by accident because it seems like they were trying to
mislead me.
Not
having enough podcasts to listen to.
Having
someone constantly switching channels on the radio.
Commercials
of any type. Mute, mute, mute. How does that not bother everyone?
Bureaucracy.
Having
to ask for a Wi-Fi password. Just display it somewhere to save us both the
hassle.
Paying
$3.50 to use an ATM. It has gotten out of hand.
New
Zealand.
Hearing
both sides of a Skype conversation at a hostel or random spot.
Buy headphones
to at least limit one side of this terrible conversation I’m being forced to
listen to.
Babies
who are out past a reasonable hour. They should be asleep and you should be in
jail ma'am.
Brushing
off a car filled with ice and snow super early in the snowy winter.
People
who insist on lining up to take an escalator as the stairs go unused. Don’t be
lazy.
People
who have storage units. Just sell that stuff. You don’t need it.
Malls.
Needing
to repeat myself over and over.
Cold
showers.
Pens
that don’t work.
Not
having my headphones.
People
who are generally late or unreliable.
Pitch
black by 4pm during the winter.
People
who complain other than on pet peeve lists.
Stopping
in the middle of the busy stairwell to check you phone.
Driving
and cutting in at the last second.
People
on EI who work under the table.
Being
on hold.
People
who don’t believe in facts, research or science.
Needing
to constantly use a VPN whilst in China.
Going
to Blockbuster and your favourite movie has already been taken.
Clocks
that have the wrong time.
When
people are talking about a place then ask “Have you been?” in a tone that I
don’t appreciate.
People
who drag their feet.
My
phone.
Bailing
at the last minute.
Talking
on the phone whilst buying something and dealing with the cashier. You aren’t
that important. I promise.
People
who rush you when you are getting your change from the cashier.
Not
giving people time or space to get off the elevator or subway. See China.
Deciding
whether or not to bring an item, not bringing it then realizing it would have
been the perfect thing to bring.
Phone
chargers plugged in but not charging anything.
Paper
jams, out of ink or out of paper.
Snoring.
Well
that list escalated quickly. I was a little worried I wouldn’t have enough. I
did about 90% on my own then did some heavy research for the final 10% which
ended up reminding me of even more pet peeves. They vary on how much they
actually annoy me and when and where also plays a role. Am I way off or have I
overdone it? It’s March Madness everyone! Yeah baby!
"Money doesn't change you; it reveals who you are when you no longer need to be nice."
Yeah I hate when I travel back in time and blockbuster doesn't have the latest van dam movie
