Pet Peeves: Vol. I

1. Bad Grammar
People using incorrect grammar make me want to kill myself, then come back to life, tear all my hair out, kill myself again, and come back to life and yell at them. I actually correct total stranger's grammar. This summer, at Yellowstone. Hiking, lots of ground squirrels. This random kid is like, "Yeah, there's a lot of squirrels." And I'm like, "There are a lot of squirrels." Maybe this just proves I'm a total jerk, but whatever. Grammar is important. (or should I say, grammar) Get that into yer heads, people.
2. Using Shortcuts While Typing
Using shortcuts while texting on a small keypad is bad enough, but then these idiots have to carry that habit onto their computer keyboards. HELLO, you've got a perfectly fine keyboard at your disposal, why don't you use it? Maybe you want to type faster, but hey, if you actually bothered to type properly, you would start typing faster. so b4 u start typin lik dis learn wat a keyboard is also wat th shift key dos
3. Replacing Letters
Why on earth would you bother spelling "was" as "wuz?" Did it ever occur to you that, HELLO, the "w," "a," and "s" keys are waaay closer than "w," "u," and "z?" I didn't think so. In addition, adding a "z" to the end of words (or even in the middle) does not make you cool. Or repeating a letter. Unless it's a vowel to stress that the syllable is exaggerated. This: looong. Okay. This: wazzupppp. No. That's not even a word.
4. Bad Spelling
Apparently I shouldn't mock people for their bad spelling, but, hey! it really gets on my nerves. How on earth do you get, "pohetry" out of "poetry?" Or "sleander mean" out of "Slender Mane?" (which, by the way, is insanely creepy and I'm paranoid now (well, more than I was before). I'll probably post links later) Yeah, okay maybe the person doesn't know how to spell the word they've spelled wrong, but a) DID YOU NOTICE THE RED LINE?! The red line means YOU CAN'T SPELL. And, b) learn to spell it.
5. Exclamation Points
For some reason, I feel like exclamation points, when not used alone (such as this!) should be in specific amounts, by which I mean: this is okay!!! It has three exclamation points. This is not okay!! Neither is this!!!! But this is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There probably isn't any reason what so ever for this. It just drives me insane.
6. "I'm [disorder]"
It seriously pisses me off (by now you may have discovered that I am very easily angered) when people say, "I'm OCD," or "I'm ADD/ADHD." You. Are. Not. A. Disorder. You may have the disorder, but you are mostly certainly not it.
7. HUGZZZZZ!!!!!!
People who randomly, without reason, are all, "OMG GIMME A HUG!" piss. Me. Off. Uh, hello, is there a reason I should be giving you a hug? No. Bugger off. However, if there's a reason, go ahead. This: you're my best friend and you're leaving forever but until then I will hug you every time I see you. Yes, you ahead. This: omg the sky has clouds gimme a hug, or HUUUG!!!!!!! No. So irritating. Get away from me.
8. Space Invasion
Some people don't get that other people really don't like being touched or being to near anyone. So when someone is like OMG HUGZZ or whatever, or just decides to put their hand on my shoulder or something (and if they're doing it to piss me off, I kill them. Not really but I'd like to), and I'm either, err please get away from me, or don't touch me, or I just squirm, I DON'T LIKE IT. Derp. Obvious. There's not really any reason for this, but it bothers me.
9. Doors
Being in my room with the door open makes me get hives. Not really. But I hate it. I can feel the open door. And if I say I want it closed, CLOSE IT. 'Nuff said.
10. My Problems Are More Important Than Yours!
I am an extremely selfish person. I am alost always absorbed in my own problems. BUT--I don't go and say "My problems are more important." They really aren't. They're petty, ridiculous things. I should just get over them but I can't, so instead I just try to pay attention to other people's problems (unless they're just really, really stupid). It doesn't really work. But at least I try.


That's it for now. Please note, as per the whole title thing, this is only the first set. Believe me, I could write 50,000 words of my pet peeves. I could actually win NaNoWriMo for once! And then have all of my pet peeves in a nice, free book. Chyeah, awesome.

In the meantime,
