In the last couple of weeks I've come across so many of my personal pet peeves that I found it only fair to share them with you. I find that the five problems outlined below are greatly affecting our society and our daily lives. The current recession, the war on terror, the New Kid on the Block/Backstreet Boys hybrid and this 30+ weather can all be blamed on these ordinary societal problems.
Well not really, but they are really getting on my nerves.
1) Purposefully misspelling words. "Mi bf is so hott," for example. If you made it through elementary school, you should've been able to get this right. I think it's actually harder to mess it up - my autocorrect fixed this twice.
2) Fake nails. I understand that some of them look nice for a little while and that for biters they can be a great way to kick the habit. But fake finger nails are stupidly expensive, they get caught in things and can hurt when they are knocked off, and in my opinion, they largely look bulky and obviously fake. Most examples I've seen of fingernails after the fake nails have fallen off/been ripped off look horrible and unhealthy. I've heard of people taking months to get their natural nails back to some sort of decency. Why bother?
3) Sharing all of your feelings on Facebook. If you have something deeply personal to say and it absolutely can't wait, text someone who cares. Call your mom. Write a journal entry. Posting a status about your sadness over your long, lost love is depressing, annoying and kind of pathetic. Buck up and deal with it. Sharing your personal details to your 900 friends embarrasses you and whoever you're whining about.
4) Complaining about how awful the roads are, then being righteously ticked off when you hit a detour while they're being repaired. I know it's super annoying when it takes an extra five minutes to make it home to enjoy a egg salad sandwich, but it's more annoying to have to drive into oncoming traffic to avoid disgusting potholes. However, City of Estevan, if you're going to start repairs and close off a street for the day, maybe do more than throw some gravel down and deem it "fixed."
5) Rebecca Black has a new song. This is easily the worst part of Youtube: fame due to being awful. I'll admit that My Moment is better than Friday, but the fact that she only was able to release this new single because of how horribly Friday was mocked, makes My Moment both ironic and depressing. The message I gathered from the song (in one listen - I couldn't listen to it twice) is that she can't hear her hater's shrieks of horrors because the dollar bills in her pockets are making too much noise. Rebecca Black got famous off of our hatred and has come back a millionaire to spite us. How sad.
I certainly hope I'm not the only one who finds these issues as devastating as I do.
Maybe my whining stems from my sadness induced by the end of Harry Potter.
Maybe it's heat stroke.
Maybe I'm actually right and each of these problems is as annoying as I think!
No, it's definitely Harry Potter.
