Things That Annoy Me



Theres times when you just have had enough and all the things that you can normally deal with spill over. Sometimes its little things blogger does, other times its rude people on the road. But whatever it is you can cope. Until you can't. Heres some of the things that really annoy me, under handy headings! I have another post a little like this called Things I Don't Like.

Social Media

  • People using words like hubby, wifey and tweetiepies. No, just no.
  • Spamming Twitter with the same links. Fuck right off. *unfollowed*
  • Facebook not showing all the pages you want to see. Wtf?
  • RTing like its going out of fashion. 
  • Long convos on IG. 
  • Mass subtweeting. Go waay you mad feckers.
  • Follow for follow lark. No, if I like you and want to see your news I'll follow you.
  • Long Facebook posts. Ain't nobody got time fo' that.

Hair

  • Brushing your hair when its utterly FULL of knots.
  • Using Lush solid shampoo bars and finding pieces of the seaweed in your hair or stuck to the bottom of your shower.
  • Blow drying your hair because its freezing and your late. But suffering frizz head for the rest of the day.
  • Not seeing patches of dry shampoo and looking like a twat for the day.
  • Lip gloss looks amazing. Until it gets windy and your hair gets stuck to it.
  • Limp/frizzy/hair that just wont do what you want it to. Why?!

Beauty/Makeup

  • When you put powdered makeup on your bed for a second and turn back to see it embedded into your sheets - normally white ones.
  • When your bronzer/blusher/contour looks amazing but then you step into proper daylight and suddenly you see just how dark it is. Clown face alert!
  • Combination skin - you can't figure out where the moisturiser line goes. Too dry/too greasy. FML.
  • Two words: Tan Lines.
  • Never being able to achieve the perfect brow without professional help. One is always higher then the other. Plus pluck happy. (Repeat offender here)
  • Makeup (foundation for me) stains on your clothes. It will never ever come out. 
  • The most perfectly applied nail varnish you've ever done. Then you touch off something. Smudged all over the gaff. Fuuuccc...
  • Having to clean make up brushes. Its 2014, wheres the self clean ones already!

Blogging

  • When Blogger/Wordpress doesn't save your 500+ word post that you've spent over an hour composing.
  • Computer updates meaning you have to restart your computer. Normally when your doing something important.
  • No light to take photos. Why is it so dark! Sad times.
  • Font thats too small or swirly. I already have glasses. Please don't make me get out the magnifying glass too.
  • Checking your emails all day. Nothing. Don't look for half an hour? You need to delete old emails to try make space for the incoming craziness.
  • Having beautiful photos but only about 2 lines of text about the 'product review'.
  • No link or information about the price/size of the product. Its a review, review it!
  •  Always seeing the same background.

Other:

  • Walking in new high heels - the pain.
  • Walking in high heels when its wet out or on a slippy surface. LET ME HOLD ONTO YOU!!
  • Scalding the mouth off yourself from your morning coffee. Tasting food ruined for the day.
  • 'Table for two please' ... Sorry what?! An hour!!? Fuck off.
  • Buying all the things on Esty/Amazon/ ect. Get to the checkout and 'this item does not ship to your country'. Feck it.
  • Charging your battery full. Half an hour later 7%. Whaaa?
  • 'I love your XYZ!' ..'Ah thanks Penneys... 3 years ago.'  Well then. Shit.
  • *saves all the money* Item currently out of stock.
  • Missing the ninja postman.
  • People not indicating. HOW do you have a licence?!

Do you agree with these? Or could you add anything!

Things I Don't Like

In a very random order and post, I want to list out some of the things I hate. I like lists, sharing thoughts with people and reading other peoples pet peeves as I can relate to a lot of them. So here we go:

Eating with your mouth open:
Oh sweet lord I think this is one of my top most hated things ever. Ever. Ever. I can't begin to explain how much I hate hearing and seeing people do this. I automatically think of the mothers all across Ireland say in unison ''has she/he no manners at all? Their mother must be ashamed.'' If I wanted to know what you were eating I would ask after you finished. My skin is crawling thinking about it.

The word 'moist':
I don't really know why this bugs me. It always gives me a shiver down my spine and makes me think the person who uses it is a bit dirty. Like mould or an old pair of wet runners. Too much Fifty Shades of Grey talk last summer I think.

Wet and mucky shoe laces: 
You know when you have about 10 bags, are late for the bus, weaving through people all over the street, trying to keep your hood/umbrella up and all while talking on your phone and trying to either not kill yourself crossing the road or knock into someone? You get home and realise your shoe lace is undone. And its wet, and mucky from the rain and road? Ewww! I can never look at them in the same way.

The smell of cold soup:
I cannot understand anyone who eats lukewarm or cold soup. The smell nearly makes me sick. Yet when the soup is boiling hot I will be first to dig in with a nice cracker or piece of bread. Go figure.

People who are rude:
I was brought up to the constant chatter of mothers and fathers alike: 'mind your manners' and of course the classic 'manners don't cost a thing'. And I will rarely agree with mine, but on this they are right. A simple thank you, excuse me or sorry is all I ask for on a bus, in the street or shop. Please do not barge past me in a manner which can only be described as unbelievable. Kindly refrain from knocking your bags into me on an otherwise empty street. And try, oh please try to be polite to one another.  

Finding a stain on your clothes:
The amount of times I go to leave the house with a freshly washed top/pair of jeans/hoodie and I see a mark on it. Not a faint one either but a great big white tooth paste stain or a black eye liner mark. And of course lets not forget the tomato sauce or butter smudge. Just. Why?

Cold feet:
I am always cold and have seemingly no blood circulation. But the worst thing is cold feet. It feels like your walking on two ice blocks and I can never get them warm for the rest of the day once they are cold. Cold feet cramp dances around the room at half three at night? Why yes I do partake, thank you for asking.

Psychics and spiritualists:
You will loose all respect from me if you believe in psychics and spiritualists. It is painful when people open a magazine to read their horoscopes and ask what your star sign is. Angels belong on top of Christmas trees not on a deck of cards that you play with. When I was little I was safe in the knowledge that all adults were of sound mind and knew fairy stories from reality. As I got older I became more worried and alarmed by People like 'Psychic Sally' and Derek Acorah. And the people who choose to believe them scare me more. I now know there are thousands of people playing skipping with the line that divides the sane and insane.

Forgetting what your doing:
Anyone ever go to the kitchen only to ask why your there? Read a text and say you'll reply in a second? Put down a book and tell yourself to remember the page number. Leave the oven on too long and burn the food because you got distracted looking for the cup of tea you left down while trying to remember if it was today or tomorrow you were meant to meet your sisters, friends aunt to return the book your currently looking for. Whats that burning smell?... Umhumm. My life, right there. 

Breaking a nail:
No I am not as shallow as the title leads you to believe. I mean it in the 'OH my SWEET JESUS that HURTS LIKE...!!!' way. When you catch it off the side of your jumper or your hair. The throbbing pain is felt for ages and the feeling of your nail having been bent back or forth before it breaks makes my skin break out in goose bumps. Or rag nails, now thats an entirely different post. 

Embarrassing posts on social networking sites:
Just last night I was witness to a cringe worthy Facebook post on my news feed with barely covered sexual innuendos and jokes about some poor girl a guy is seeing. And what really did it? The overly used wink smiley faces and x's. There should be a limit to how many you can use a day, exceed this limit and the computer shuts down as a punishment for 24 hours. We have all done it, but please, does the entire world have to see you tweeting sonnets for your third new girl/boyfriend of the week?

People acting like arses:
Meaning they are normal nice people who have taken it upon themselves to act like an eejit by pretending to be someone they are not. My personal pet hate are people who pretend to know more then they do. Do not carry an enormous book about and tell me you have read all of Dickens and are now onto the 18th century legal system which is truly fascinating. 'But I'm sure you haven't read it?' The look of horror as you calmly say yes to whatever they are spouting on about and say its a hidden passion of yours is worth keeping a camera handy for.

The bed dilemma:
Its freezing out so three blankets go on the bed and the same in hot water bottles. Then its too warm so out sticks a foot. Its cold, back in the foot goes. Then its too warm again, two blankets off. Still warm, one hot water bottle is shoved to the bottom of the bed away from your feet. No its colder then you thought, move down the bed and put your feet on the hot water bottle you just moved. Ah, burning skin, move second hot water bottle away from your side. Now your upper body is cold and your feet are too warm and starting to ever so slightly cook.. This goes on and on and on. 

I hope you are all happy today and have enjoyed the little things in life that drive me crazy!
