Something else that bothers me:

Two words: High waters.

Guys, or girls. Never ever ever ever wear them. They're a poor excuse for long capris, and they insult jeans that look good on people everywhere. Nobody wants to see what color socks you're wearing. Especially if they come up to your knees. Ew. Come on people. Buy jeans that are long enough for your legs. Spare us the trouble of having to cringe at the sight of where your sock stops and leg begins (if you're wearing ankle length socks). That's definitely something that bothers me. Especially when it's like, not intended. Who would mean to buy jeans that are just long enough when you're standing up, but an Amish peep show when you're sitting down? Come on.

When people like the sound of their own voice...

That is another pet peeve of mine. People who talk their heads off, and you feel like they must talk to themselves when they're alone just because they like talking so much. This one girl was walking down the hallway, and shes talking, nay, yelling across the hall to her friend.

Annoying girl: Hey I'll be right back...blablablablabla...I need to blablablablabla...and after that blablablablabla...I also need to go potty!

...stop right there. Who SAYS that??? "I need to go potty"???? Holy crap. A college student sounds like a 5 year old.... Strike two.

Other girl: Ok, me too.
Annoying girl: Ok...blablablablabla I'll be right back.

She says "potty" about 6 more times when she comes back, and I'm just sitting there, annoyed, thinking "what is the world coming to?" When I know it's already gone... So...

Another story. Just as random. Might be pointless to you, but in the actual situation, it would've annoyed you all the same.

My sister. Wow. She loves to talk. She throws in hand motions to elaborate the things she says, but her voice clearly takes care of all the emphasis she'd ever need to cover 10 conversations...

I drive her to college in the mornings because she doesn't have her license. Strike one.

She talks the WHOLE ride to her boyfriend Bryan, or just asks me stupid questions. Strike two.

She turns down my music if she can't talk over it. Strike three.

She's out.

Anyway... you get the idea. I can't stand people who just talk because they love the sound of their own voice. Stupid questions, phrases that include the grammar and vocabulary of a 5 year old... yeah. Anything like that... Drives me crazy...

Terms of Endearment

I really don't know what it is, but I can't stand it when people call me by an endearing term. "Baby" "Sweety" "Honey" "Love" - any of them. It bothers me to no end.

I think that maybe I have some kind of inferiority complex about it. I see "baby" as belittling. Like I'm a weak-minded, naiive girl who can't think for herself without a male counterpart. That's the feminist in me I guess. I mean, I know that no one ever means it that way. And generally people call me those things to be nice, or polite, or whatever else. But I feel like I don't need that comfort. It's not comforting to me.

A friend of mine was helping me through a rough patch. And he wouldn't stop calling me by those things. It was his way of "comforting me" or "being there" or something. But all it did was tick me off. I ended up telling him so, and I hope I didn't hurt his feelings, because he's a good friend. But when everything is kind of complicated, and out of whack, I'd rather just be called by my name. I don't need the sweet talk. Just give it to me straight up.

Another thing about it all, is that I associate it with some kind of romantic or relationship status. When my relations with someone are far from, or no where close to a "relationship" or anything in terms of romance, that's just going to make me uncomfortable. I hate discomfort. Especially when it's unnecessary.

But really. I don't need it. I don't want it. I'm weird, I know. But just call me Abby. Please. lol

Another Peeve

There are those people, everyone knows them, who LOVE the sound of their own voice. These people annoy me to no end. It's probably one of the most annoying things to me when people just talk to pleasure themselves. I was talking to this guy the other day, and all he did was talk about himself. I'm usually the kind of person who enjoys listening more than talking, but in this case I was pretty disgusted. He had this "high and mighty" tone too, where everything he said was an absolute truth or something. I like to listen to people, but not when they're extremely cocky or full of themselves. Any time I tried to have any input on the conversation, he overshadowed it with all these self-glorifying comments about himself. Drove me nuts.

So there's another peeve of mine. I like listening to intellect, but not cockyness. That's a total turn off. I don't talk to him much anymore. haha
