| I've been doing some thinking about the qualities in myself and others that I just absolutely cannot stand, and then I thought why don't I write them down. I already have a bucket list, and now (thanks to Family Guy) I have a "Grinds my Gears" list.
My "Grinds My Gears" List
1. When people dumb themselves down. I seem to witness all the time; it's like a plague the way it follows me around. I find that it's most common in high schools and colleges. Girls will pretend to be stupid to get the attention of guys. I think it's humiliating for all women when they do this. There are hundreds of women who fought for woman's rights and now there are girls pretending to have a low IQ for attention. I want so badly to show those women their future. If you don't take yourself seriously, how can anyone else?
2. When people yell talk. It always seems to be when I'm in restaurants or diners trying to enjoy a meal and the table nearby has a few people talking to one another, but they're yelling. They are a foot away from one another, why do they have to yell? The person can hear you fine when you talk at a lower volume. I just can't stand that.
3. Plans falling through. Okay, so let me explain so I don't sound like an ass. I hate when I make plans with someone and then they decide to just ignore them. I get no explanation as to why they aren't showing up and then I try to contact them and they ignore me. If you really feel like pissing me off I recommend this one.
4. Slow drivers. Now, by slow I mean drivers who drive the speed limit. I got five or ten over (for the most part) and I can't stand being slowed down. It just drives me insane. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a good driver, but at least I don't slow people down!
5. Internet talk in the real world. I'm so sick of people saying LOL. I have the biggest problem with LOL. If you need to say it then you're not freakin' laughing out loud: totally defeating the purpose! When I find something funny I, like most people, laugh. I don't look at the person and say, "Wow, I'm totally laughing out loud right now!" NO! Then when people are really excited or shocked why can't they just say "oh my god" instead of OMG. It's really not much to ask. You wouldn't write it in a paper; you shouldn't be saying it. The end. I semi-understand it when you're instant messaging friends, but when you're standing right next to the damn person, COME ON! I will, however, admit that I love that commercial where the mother asks her daughter who she's talking and the daughter says "Idk my bff jill." It shows people how truly stupid they look.
6. People who pretend to like things to show off to the opposite sex. It doesn't seem to happen much with guys, but I've seen tons of my friends do it. I watch as my friends pretend to like sports or wrestling. Or perhaps they would take up fishing, or soccer; it's quite ridiculous. It makes me sick to watch people do that.
7. Whistling. I don't know why this bothers me so much. I just can't stand the high pitched noise it makes and I think the fact that I can't do it also gets to me.
8. People who brag about drinking and smoking. I, in no way, am against drinking or smoking, but I don't really care to hear about it. Don't tell me that you are high as a kite and don't care what's going on around you. Why should I care? If you're high, that's your own deal. I don't care. The same goes with drinking. If you want to drink that's totally up to you, but don't tell me how drunk you are or that you can drink more than so and so. That may be your idea of personal accomplishment, but I just don't care.
9. Beating around the bush. If you have a problem, just come out and say it. There's no need to surround what you want to say with fancy words, just make your point. If you think I'm too sarcastic and feel the need to tell me... don't say "Well sometimes the things you say and don't necessarily mean, well, they hurt people." That's fine and dandy, but if you just say that I can be too sarcastic sometimes, well I'll take that better. I just want people to be up front with me, is that too much to ask?
10. Billy Mays. I swear if I ever meet this man I will punch him in the face. The way he yells and repeats things. God, I just want to punch him. We're going to get the point if you say it only a few times rather than a hundred. Every time I watch one of his commercials I can feel my blood boil.
11. Being cut off. That's such a big pet peeve of mine. Whether it's when I'm talking or driving, I can't stand it. I hate when I'm in the middle story and someone thinks of something "genius" and shares it. I swear if I could, I would punch them in the ovary. And then there's when I'm driving and some ass hole drives in front of me; making me slam on the brakes and practically hitting them. It's so annoying.
12. Yipping dogs. Granted, I have one, that doesn't make them any less tolerable. I hate when their annoying yips echo and resound through my ears, making my head ache. They're cute when they aren't barking, but that's only about about ten seconds a day and I just can't take it. It makes me want to put my head through a wall.
There are quite a few more things that "grind my gears", but (to be honest) I do most of them. So it would be rather hypocritical to point them out. As I think of more things, I'll post them

| Please, would someone explain to me why guys like bitches who pretend to be dumb? What the fuck? Why do girls feel like they need to be stupid for a guy to like them? I wouldn't give a guy the time a day if he thought I was dumb. Yeah, we all have our moments, but having your moments and being a downright fucktard are two totally different things.
Okay, so where is this coming from? This guy I kinda like (he's more eye candy than anything else) was hitting on this girl who is totally idiot. She's at least seventeen and she didn't know what WiFi was. Are you serious? How can you not know what WiFi is? And I even said aloud "You have got to be kidding me!". I think she really did know what it was, she was just pretending to be dumb. Then, at another point, one of my friends asked her where all the bruises on her arm came from and she said she was bit. SHE WAS BIT? I have to say, I felt kind of bad. What is she's being abused, but why would you cover that with stupidity?
So, I'm really dying to know what the fuck is wrong with girls these days. If guys like the dumb ones, imagine how valuable the intelligent ones are. Yeah, not all guys like the dumb ones, and those guys should teach the other ones a lesson!
I consider myself pretty intelligent. I'm not a straight A student, but I have street smarts along with book smarts. I don't understand why guys don't like that. Granted, I can kind of be a bitch [in case you didn't notice], but it's more of a sense of humor. See, I'm very sarcastic and I don't really give a damn what people think. I say things sarcastically and people take them seriously; making me seem bitchy. Please, someone clue me in! | | |
