My Hot Takes on Everyday Annoyances
We've all encountered them - the annoying habits that make us roll our eyes. Yet there are still enough people that continue to do them that we can talk about it today! How is that, hmmmmm? Anyway, in my mind, here are the top 20:
1. Call and leave voice messages when texting would suffice. Because who still calls if it is of personal nature and not your bestie to vent and listen to each other breathe?
.....................................................................
2. Says "no offense" before offending someone. This also goes for "I don't mean to be rude/a b****, but...." All that is is a warning sign that an insult is coming...
.....................................................................
3. Double dip chips at parties. Germs and salsa – a perfect combo. This is only acceptable with your family. Don't be gross.. .....................................................................
4. Type entire conversations in CAPITAL LETTERS - ARE YOU YELLING AT ME THROUGH TEXT? Because that's all I got from what you just TEXTED.
.....................................................................
5. Clip nails in public places. The sound alone should be illegal.

6. Explain entire movie plots to those who've already seen them. Spoiler alert... 2 years too late. And why do they not stop when you politely interrupt to say, 'ahem, yes, I've seen it?"
.....................................................................
7. Use speakerphone in quiet areas. Because libraries and voice calls mix well..."BEEP BEEP where you at?!"
.....................................................................
8. Correct others' grammar on social media posts. Or at all, with the exception of your children's grammar. The ultimate online party pooper.
.....................................................................
9. Park in two parking spaces. Entitlement has a new parking strategy. Also, nobody is worried about your car. Or is that the problem? We should all be worried about it?
.....................................................................
10. Ask "did you see my email?" 5 minutes after sending it. Impatient much?
.....................................................................
11. Snap gum loudly in meetings. The perfect way to get fired (or hated.).
.....................................................................
12. Overuse "literally" when they mean "figuratively." Literally driving us crazy...
.....................................................................
13. Dominating conversations with only their opinions. Conversation or lecture – You get the point.
.....................................................................
14. Leave shopping carts scattered everywhere. Because parking lots are now obstacle courses.
.....................................................................
15. Take 10 selfies before posting just one. Self-absorption at its finest - unless you're self conscious, in which case, I feel you, sister..
.....................................................................
16. Talk loudly on their phone in libraries/restaurants. Shh... or actually, just hang up. Nobody wants to hear your conversation anyway.
.....................................................................
17. Microwave fish in the office break room. A crime against workplace humanity.
.....................................................................
18. Play music aloud from their phone in public. Our playlists are not public entertainment.
.....................................................................
19. Interrupt others constantly while they're speaking. Polite conversation is overrated, apparently.
.....................................................................
20. Say "per my last email" in actual conversations. Corporate speak invading real life – help!
Do any of these annoying habits drive YOU crazy? Share in the comments! Do you do any of these on the list? I have done one on more than one occasion. Can you guess which?! Here's a hint: it's not a person, it's not a bird, it breathes through the water, and speaks not a word. Yessss you got it. I have totally microwaved fish and broccoli. On multiple occasions. Sorry, not sorry!
Anyway thanks for stopping by, friends. Before you go, check out my Amazon recommendations and our merchandise tab, and if there's anything you like, maybe get it now. Coming soon are some huge changes in how production and shipping goes (I'm going to take over everything vs the current eCommerce platform I use now)--and some items will be no longer available. So, legit, get it while Supplies Last! If you don't see what you'd like, remember, I do custom orders and special requests as NO EXTRA CHARGE! You read that right! If you like what you see when browsing, even if you don't buy anything, I thank you in advance for your likes, shares, and comments. They all help! Until next time...
