Life is full of small annoyances. Here are some of my pet peeves (footnote: don't get yourself a pet peeve. Get a goldfish or something instead):
- Typos, where instead of a simple misspelling, e.g. a shoufling of the words ("truoble") or a non-word ("troublw"), the word is misspelled as a real, existing one with a different meaning, and I get confused for a second while I'm reading.
- When people say "how you do one thing is how you do everything." (No it's not (topic for another day)).
- My cat jumping on my shoulder while I'm sleeping. I know it's just affection, but does she really gotta wake me up like that?
- When I begin to take myself too seriously.
- The fact that I played maybe ten minutes of a video game and couldn't remember any of the details except for the fact that I enjoyed it, which makes it impossible to search for online.
- Things I have to microwave for more than three minutes (TV dinners are the worst offenders; the meats will cook in like 4 minutes, but the potatoes/mac n' cheese or whatever takes like 15+).
- The fact that, if I make instant noodles with dried vegetables, I have to put the veggies in the microwave with the water, but then when I go to pour the water out, all the vegetables fall out.
- When I accidentally hit a certain combination of keys or do some mouse gesture and realize there's a secret feature on my computer, but I can't figure out how to do it whenever I want.
- People who think you need to go to church to have a relationship with or worship God.
- Christians who say "church is the people" but then think they're better than you if you don't go to church.
- Mormons who think they have a better relationship with God than converts because they were "born and raised in the church."
- When I set something down and five seconds later I can't find it
