Some Pet Peeves of Mine

"Sry" is not a word. It certainly isn't an apology. If you don't have the time or feel it necessary to write two more letters, your apology cannot possibly be sincere. It is necessary.

I hate half-truths. They are impossible. If you are lying by omission, you are still lying. Don't do that.

You cannot have a relationship with someone through texting, e-mail, or facebook. If you want to talk to me, call me. Come by and see me. Either one is great. Texting and e-mail are absolutely fine for short conversations, spreading necessary info, making simple plans, or when you are in a hurry. Not for long, detailed stories or conversations, or anything that requires specifications or tone of voice to be understood. And I hate texting over long periods of time.

If you are going to drive a car, please know how to drive a car. When the light turns green, go.

Smalltalk drives me crazy. It's awkward and unnecessary. I don't even really know how to do it. Cut to the chase. I'd much rather have a real conversation.

Some words really bother me. Such as, "anywho", "all well", (it's oh well, everyone. OH well.) , "fail", "woot" (what is that?), "doodle" (or anything cutesy that ends in 'le'), "spoon", (or anything with the double 'o', though I do understand that sometimes those are unavoidable). there's more, I just can't think of them right now. I'll get back to you.

If you cannot get through a sentence without using the word "like" at least twice when it isn't actually necessary, that drives me crazy. Replace the word "like" with something like "poop" or "bitch" or "booger" and I promise you, you will break the habit. (Note, the usage of the word "like" in the above sentence is proper and acceptable. Now that's not to say that the word "like" could not have been replaced with the words "such as" or "along the lines of", but they're wordy and I wanted the example.)

Do NOT add the "a" sound to the ends of words. Example: "Whatever-a!" little kids, particularly girls, do it all the time. I have no idea why. I do know I hate it.

It really bothers me when the toilet paper on the roll is behind the roll, not in front of it... I correct this all the time because my mother feels just the opposite. (hahaha....)

Closed shower curtains freak me out. Leave it open when you are done. Me and my psychosis thank you.

Boys, if you pee on the seat- actually just don't pee on the seat. If you can't aim, sit down.

Don't text while an adult is talking to you. (My brother does this all the time and it drives me crazy) It's just disrespectful. I see kids do it all the time. It's one thing to do it while your friends are talking to you but... Come on.

More to come.
