Boys Who Don’t Put the Seat Down

I live with a seventeen year old brother. He doesn’t close the door to pee, put the seat down, flush, or wash his hands. It is absolutely disgusting!

People Who Can't Write but Try to Anyway

I’m constantly amazed by the number of people who lack any communication skills but insist on trying to write anyway. The things they write make often make little sense—they just can’t be followed—and the world would be better off if they hadn’t even tried to say what they were trying to say. They’re so bad that there’s no way they could’ve even understood what they were trying to communicate, so I don’t understand why they even bother, or at least don’t seek help and try to write properly. And I’m not speaking about people who are in the process of learning a new language here—they’re trying to improve their skills with that language, and it’s understandable if they do not write perfectly while learning. No, these people grew up with a language and yet they still don’t know how to use it.

People Who Say They Have “a Facebook”

Facebook is the name of the website. Each member’s page on Facebook is not referred to as that person’s Facebook, but their Facebook page. Similarly, someone could properly say that they have a Facebook account. This also applies to MySpace, for what few people still use that site.

I also hate people who call Wikipedia “Wiki”. Wikipedia is a wiki, but there are thousands of other wikis on the internet. It’s not a term unique to Wikipedia. Pretty much any website with interlinkable pages editable by users is a wiki.

Indirect People

It’s really frustrating when people aren’t direct with you. My friend hasn’t talked to me for a few days and I mentioned this fact to my husband. Well, apparently she told her husband, who told my husband, who told me that she’s upset with me over a stupid comment I made at her party a week or so ago. Why didn’t she just pull me aside and say something to me then? Or call me after the party and tell me? Why am I only hearing about it like this? I thought we were friends, and that means sometimes we are going to say stuff that makes the other person mad, but we love each other enough to say “hey, could you not do that again?” or something.

“Ironic” Prejudice

If I don’t think it’s funny when someone tells me I belong in the kitchen or that all women are sluts, I’m treated like I just can’t take a joke. I’m supposed to laugh every time someone says “rape” even though most of the girls I know have been sexually assaulted. If I’m offended that someone makes a joke stereotyping all Asians or “Mexicans,” or jokes that all gay men are sex-crazed, I’m treated like I’m just not smart enough to understand the humor. No, you’re not being ironic if you make jokes that put down people. You’re being bigoted, and it’s the last thing from funny.

Period Pain

I hate period pains. Why is it that women have to suffer agonizing stomach pain every month whilst men seem to only catch the occasional cold?

Girls Who Take Pictures Half Naked

I log onto one of my social networking accounts and all I see is girls in their underwear. I do not want to see any of that. I don’t understand why girls degrade themselves like that.

Sweat

It’s juice that comes out of our bodies when we’re hot and makes yourself feel gross. Ew…

Airport Security

I wish they could just tell if we are good people, because I now have to wait in a super long line and take off my sweatshirt and shoes and wait while they make sure my phone isn’t a bomb or something. It’s such a pain in the butt!

When Parents Fight

I’m trying to ask my mom a question, but she’s ignoring me and keeps arguing with my dad instead. I know she can hear me, but I guess fighting with my dad is so much important than everything else.
