Things That I Hate

People Who Dumb Themselves Down

People pretend that they’re stupid so someone will ask them out, and I don’t understand it at all. Do you know how annoying it is to hear the phrase, “Don’t use big words, they hurt my brain!” Saying that makes you look like a complete idiot.

Eyebrows

What good do they do? They’re just in the way. There is no point to them and we just have to painfully pluck and wax them.

Redirecting

I hate it when I click on a website from a search engine and it redirects me to another website that has no relation to what I originally searched for. Then, to make matters worse, it doesn’t allow me to use the back button to escape the website, so I have to start the search all over again.

Toddlers

How can something so cute act so horribly? My kid is going on three years old and she does such weird things and acts so horribly that sometimes I want to throw holy water on her and say “the power of Christ compells you!” I have taught her to say "please" and "thank you" and "sorry", and she knows when to say them, and she’s normally a sweet little child, but sometimes, out of nowhere, she throws a huge tantrum about something so miniscule. It makes me want to pull my hair out. Is this normal toddler behavior, or do I need the exorcist? I have a feeling I’ll wake up on a dark, stormy night with her standing at my side of the bed with a butcher knife and an evil smile.

How Everything Is in Neutral Colors

I’m sick of seeing the same colors in everyone’s house. Brown. Black. Beige. I want to see purple! Turquoise! Teal! Tangerine! Fluorescent yellow! Spring green! Pink! This world is full of colors, so use them!

People Who Judge Me for My Taste in Music

I am so sick of getting snubbed or treated poorly by people when we talk about music. I like Coldplay and I think that they’re very musically talented and I enjoy their albums. I love Dave Matthews Band, for reasons I don’t think I should have to justify. If you don’t like them, big deal—I’m not trying to convert you, and my enjoyment of it isn’t based on anything other than appreciation for music. Don’t treat me like I’m inferior or some kind of loser for liking music by people who have a great deal of talent. I promise not to judge you for your passion for Lady Gaga.

Clingers

Seriously, lay off. I don’t want to be with you 24/7.

Assumptions from Strangers

I hate it when people assume they know who I am and then go on to criticize my character or personality in front of other people.

Acne

Is there a point to acne? No. There are absolutely no benefits to it at all, unless you count being red-faced and greasy an advantage.

Modern Language

Why can’t the whole world just speak English?
