There are some things that just bug me and I feel it necessary to voice those things.
1. People making comments on Facebook using texting language. What's wrong with your keyboard? Is it missing letters? Please use complete words when typing online. You're not texting. It makes you look uneducated and/or just plain dumb.
2. People that don't use blinkers when they're turning. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't use my mind reading abilities to know you were planning to turn or switch lanes. Please indicate your intentions. It's so the people around you can drive safely with you. Blinkers are actually standard on all makes and models of cars. Just FYI.
3. Talking on your cell phone at the checkout counter. I don't really care who said what or where you need to meet someone. Your conversation can wait. It's really easy to tell the person on the other end of the conversation, "Let me call you back in a few minutes. I'm at the checkout counter and don't want to be rude." Not hard.
4. Drivers that speed up to get around you only to slam on their brakes to turn in front of you. Really?! Did that save you any time or get you anywhere faster? Highly doubt it. What it did do is almost cause an accident. Good driving, there, buddy.
5. That person that stops their shopping cart in the middle of the aisle at the grocery store and then just stands there looking at the shelves. You are oblivious to the fact that others need to get by and then act surprised when I say "Excuse me." It's called awareness. Try it sometime.
6. Rude people. That's all. Doesn't matter where you are and what you're doing. You're just rude. You seem to think that you are more important than others and have a superiority complex. You treat waitstaff terribly and behave as if you're the server's only table. Guess what? You were born naked just like the rest of us. You take dumps and have stinky farts. Just admit it. Oh, and just be nice.
7. Kids having screaming fits in public places and the parents that let it continue. Do you really think that everyone in a 5 mile radius wants to hear your kid having a hissy fit because you won't buy them candy? While I applaud you for not giving in to your child's request, please make them be quiet. (Note: I do not have kids. If I did, I would take their ear-splitting screaming ass to the car and go home.)
8. Not holding the door open for someone coming in behind you. This is a common courtesy thing, no? Wouldn't you appreciate that gesture? Especially do it if you see a person close enough behind you. It's just nice to hold it open or even give the door another push to stay open as you continue to enter. Didn't slow you down. Didn't cost you anything. It's just a polite thing to do.
9. Sports players getting paid millions of dollars and then crying about how it's not enough. You know what's not enough? Teachers' salaries. Military salaries. Police and firefighter salaries. You know, the people who are really making a difference in the lives of the multitudes. The money going into (or more recently, out of) education. More of my students will need an education to work because they will not get to be you on the football, basketball, or baseball field. Shut the hell up about how you don't make enough. It's disgusting and insulting to the rest of us. I can't believe you have fans.
10. Politicians. Enough said.
Well, I'm sure there are many more things that annoy me, but this is a start. These are just some of the ones that come immediately to mind. However, there are more. Also, venting is therapeutic. I don't generally like to be a complainer, but sometimes you just have to say what's on your mind.
