Day 3: What are my top 5 pet peeves?

  1. When people chew their food obnoxiously. Whether it’s chewing too much food at once that it sounds gross or leaving your mouth wide open, it’s nasty.
  2. When people are constantly late to things. I’m usually 5-15 minutes early to an event depending on how important it is, so when other people aren’t it seriously bothers me. If you plan ahead and give yourself extra time, you won’t be late. Being late makes you look non professional. We all have mess ups sometimes, but to consistently be late for everything kills me.
  3. When people use plastic water bottles at unnecessary times. It really bothers me when people are at their house and go get plastic water bottles. The world already has enough trash, and it takes years for them to decompose. I even use a reusable water bottle when I’m not at home. It’s just a simply thing you can do to take care of the earth.
  4. When people don’t try their best at what they are doing. It gets on my nerves when kids don’t try in school and then complain about bad grades, or when people don’t try at practice and then don’t get a lot of playing time in games. It’s just common sense that if you try as hard as you can to do something, your going to be proud of the result.
  5. When people complain about not having money to do stuff, but they never work. You can’t rely on your parents for everything. If you want to do fun things with your friends or go on a date with your boyfriend, you might have to work a little.

Yes, these things all bother me, but it’s not the end of the world if people do them. Different people value different things so I understand that people might not care about these things the way I do. None of the things I listed above affect the way I would treat someone because they don’t make or break my relationship with them. Honestly coming up with all of these pet peeves was kind of hard, but it’s something to think about.
