Pet Peeves

I learned just the other day that there are people called "sungazers". They believe that staring directly into the sun is not only perfectly safe, but is needed in order to have good health. Of course, the government, scientists and doctors have been lying to us all along that staring into the sun is bad and can blind you because they're pure evil.

People like this are the reasons why they still put instructions on shampoo bottles.

When people hide their friends from their friends on Facebook. Yes I know privacy and all that but I'm talking about Facebook friends in your list hiding all their friends from you. It's just annoying when you're trying to look for somebody and the only way you'll find them is through your Facebook friends, as the search bar isn't always great.

I have my friends hidden from the public but not from my Facebook friends.

Dogmatic responses. For example:-

Complaint: My boyfriend keeps leaving a mess
Dogmatic advice: Talk to him about it and if he doesn't like being called out on it then leave him, as it means he wasn't a good boyfriend in the first place

Aaaaggghhh, I hate this advice! It doesn't work with me and is best suited to black and white thinkers. I'm not normally a black and white thinker, even though I've been accused of being one online before but I think it's just one of those false accusations people like to throw around when they're not winning a debate, a bit like when person A calls person B immature or childish even though person B is being reasonable and professional while person A is frustrated that they can't get what they want so they just throw random accusations and insults at person B just to cover up their own fault.

Note: The first paragraph is just a general example, not a personal issue.

Racism against black people. I hate it. Leave them alone.

When my Bluetooth headphones go down to 30% power because that's when they begin bleeping telling you to charge them, even though 30% is a bit early to start reminding you to charge them. It should start doing it at 10%, as I think each 10% out of 100 lasts an hour or something like that.

Paper straws, because they just dissolve in coke.

And before anyone says straws are for kids, a dentist once told me that drinking sodas through a straw is better for your teeth or something.

When you can hear distant music coming from some sort of fete that you didn't even know was going on. Sometimes I just want to have silence and only hear the sounds of nature.

Irrational people who won't listen to reason.

I just got a hair stuck to my Jakeman's

This peeved me!

When people who love animals don't like cats.
I have a friend who loves all animals, including ducks and just everything you can think of. Except cats. She doesn't seem to like cats. And she's scared of rats, and so will ask me how my "creepy crawlies" are.

I don't judge people for what they like and don't like, but for a person who loves animals so much to dislike my two favourite animals just feels ironic, but funny.

^ Generally thinking something is "immature because yes" is ironically immature itself
