I often find myself saying "I really hate when..."
Sometimes I have a reason; some things just get on my nerves. I feel like I've spent many nights thinking about things I hate and then I forget about it, only to dwell on it again several other times. So, in hopes of stopping myself from driving myself crazy, I've decided to compile a list. There's no way I can think of all of them while I'm sitting here right now, so be on the lookout for sequels.
I hate...
...when people continuously pronounce things wrong after they've been corrected.
...when people listen to music really loud, especially through headphones. I just don't get it.
...when people sing the wrong lyrics to a song. If you don't know it, don't sing it. You look like an idiot.
...when people don't realize they're being condescending. It's safe for me to assume I always sound condescending, so I never get surprised if people get offended. But I hate when people are surprised that they just insulted you.
...having to start conversations. If it was purely up to me, I would probably never speak to anyone.
...when people act like you're wrong because you don't do something the way they do.
...when people commonly mistake sarcasm for a seriousness.
...sentence fragments.
...unnecessary commas.
...econ.
...grudges. Get the fuck over it.
...when people get mad when I cuss. I'm not cussing to be mean; it's just the way I talk. Sometimes it gets the point across better. Grow the fuck up.
...when people tell me what I said, what I think or what I believe.
...when people tell me multiple times what they've said, what they think or what they believe. There's a good chance I didn't care the first time.
...college.
...when people describe themselves as "random" or say "...that was random."
...when people think they know more than me.
...when people inform me of things I obviously already know. This one can be forgivable, though, if they honestly didn't know I knew something.
...when people repeat the end of your sentence when you're speaking to them. I think I do that and it really annoys me. Sorry, everybody, if I do it to you.
...people who think they're so unique that they have to brag about it.
...solo artists who perform under stage names that sound like there should be an entire band involved. Examples: Owl City, Never Shout Never.
...when the same song is on the radio all the time.
...Owl City.
...the people who say "I don't really watch TV." That doesn't make you any better than people who do.
...when people are mean to Miley Cyrus. I won't get into that now.
...when I scratch my head once and then can't stop.
...when people shut out your ideas just because they don't understand immediately.
...when people don't try to understand.
...the fact that I post to this Livejournal like someone is actually reading it.
...when people say they don't like popular things just to be different.
...when those people excessively talk about it.
...close-minded people who claim to be open-minded.
...the fact that most of these probably relate to me.
...Maya Angelou.
...when people act like they're better people than I am.
...self-esteem suckers.
...when people don't notice that I'm wearing a new pair of sunglasses or a pair that I don't wear often.
...when people don't listen.
...when people talk shit then get upset when I do it back. I'm not just going to let that go.
...when people can't get my tone from a text message. I know you can hear my voice saying it; you should understand.
...when people who I know have their phone with them 24/7 don't answer texts.
...when people call me when I'm not expecting it. I won't answer.
...when people tell me to call them. I don't want to call you.
...not having a job.
...when people insist upon themselves.
...econ, again.
I think that's enough for the night.
