Pet Peev - It's when someone, something, or actions really irritate you and you just can't stand it.
I'm really quite a tolerant person and not much really gets to me. I ignore most things and just carry on about my business. There's just some things though that drive me crazy. To the point of desiring to do bodily harm. I really do think no matter what type of person an individual is everyone has this side to themselves. Call it what you want...the dark side, the feminine side...
I started college solely wanting to major in Psychology. I was 18 at the time and enjoyed people and helping others. Somewhere along the line though I discovered most people are actually really annoying and not worth the time. Maybe I'm a bit bitter and jaded but meh...
So here are my pet peevs about people...
1. People who don't shut up. This is a person who goes on and on and on and on and on about the same thing. For instance, I'm sitting at work at the moment with the most obnoxious person ever across from me. She does mainly phone work and just answers calls from customers. She has talked all day long about Gelato and how wonderful it makes her feel, then complains about how much sugar she's had and how she's eaten too much. I've heard this story today about ......a billion times. I've even received emails with links to Gelato websites from her. Don't get me wrong, I like Gelato, but holy hell I've heard about Gelato like 4 hours now straight.
2. Loud people. Individuals who insist on talking louder than everyone else around them. I'm a fairly quiet person and easily distracted so it truly bothers me to no end.
3. Overly friendly people. Give me a fucking break. No one is that happy in life that they are this bundle of freakin joy. Now by overly friendly, I'm talking obnoxiously fake friendly. You know the person doesn't give a shit but they like to pretend they do.
4. Please pay attention to me people. Ugh....these are the people that no matter where they are they want everyone to know that they are there and not to forget them.
5. Smelly people. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing. Don't wear so much perfume or cologne that someone half way across the world can smell you too. There is also not enough of a good thing. Please shower...k thx.
6. People with poor table manners. Don't chew with your mouth open. Don't crunch on crap louder than is necessary and please for the love of ..something...please don't smack with gum in your mouth or lick and suck crap off your fingers. Oh yeah, no blowing snot out of your nose either while I'm eating.
7. People who don't try to help themselves. Now, as I said before, I started college as a psychology major wanting to like save people and crap. I quickly learned alot of people choose not to help themselves and I was spending more energy on people than was necessary. At the moment, I do work in the mental health field. I'm a supervisor. I supervise about 12 people, most of which don't bother trying to figure things out themselves but instead ask me. Drives me fucking nuts.
All of the above are reasons why I'm totally not a leader. I love being the low man on the totem pole. Being bothered and responsible irritates me. I'm a follower at heart. Go bug someone else. As it stands now, I feel like I need about 12 tits to work here. One nipple for each baby. |
