There are probably a lot more things/people that piss me off, but these make the top of the list?
BAD DRIVERS.
Since moving to Ontario, this is my main pet peeve. However, it?s not so much that there are bad drivers everywhere, but simply because it?s quite dangerous. Also, why car insurance is so high here? compared to Alberta, where I moved from. I was paying eighty some odd dollars, and this rate seemed a bit highatthetime. However, I?m now paying almost double?
Plus, people are simply obnoxious when driving. Very rarely will someone let you change lanes, and you?re risking your life every time you get behind the wheel.
Anyone know where I can get some ruby red slippers?

2. PEOPLE ON THEIR PHONE.
People who can?t bear to join the living while out in public. People!!! Yeah, you there! With your phone? Kindly pick up the pace, or I?m going to take your phone, and shove it somewhere dark and none too pleasant!
Remember back when Pokemon Go was all the craze? So many visions I had of people getting hit by Mack trucks; all so they could get one more notch on their belt? Yeah, buddy? you look sooo cool while you ?re superimposed with Pikachu on the blood splattered pavement!!
3. PEOPLE WHO ARE RUDE.
Need I say more?!? Ok then, I will.
People who think they are above being polite to others in any kind of service job. Or just plain rude in general. The world is dark enough.
Why not make it a bit brighter? It?s not hard at all. Pay a genuine compliment to someone? Help someone and don?t expect a hero cookie for your efforts. Just knowing you did something good, should be enough. Do a little something for someone? simply because you can.
4. GERMS.
People who cough or sneeze without covering their face. It’s just plain disgusting, and rude. In case you haven?t noticed?! We don?t live in a vacuum. People are affected by your germs.. enough said?. No wait .. cover your damn face or don?t come outside!?. Oh and btw? Keep your sick kids home from school! This should be obvious, but either they?re oblivious, or they just can?t be bothered.
I?m not talking about the parents whose job is greatly affected if they lose a day, and could possibly be fired. I get it.
This also goes for people who aren?t hygienic, with other stuff.
Oh, am I being rude?! I Sorry. Not sorry.
5. SECOND-HAND SMOKE.
If I wanted to breathe in poison voluntarily, I?d just inhale the fumes from cars? but I don?t. I would prefer not to breathe in second-hand smoke as well.
6. PEOPLE WHO LET THEIR DOG CRAP ON MY LAWN.
I don?t defecate on YOUR LAWN. You are the human in charge, are you not?! Keep your pet?s crap off my yard. Or I will find you and leave you a gift.
7. CARELESS PARENTS.
This is a biggie. I know I can?t solve the world?s problems. I just hold my breath when I see a child who could get hurt or killed because their parents are otherwise occupied, and not paying close attention as their offspring totter off in parking lots or busy streets?or otherwise dangerous situations.
8. CHEWING FOOD WITH MOUTH OPEN!!
Need I say more? It?s just plain disgusting, and actually vomit inducing?
9. ANNOYING NEIGHBORS
Back in my old place, there was no shortage of annoying neighbors.. or their kids who seemed downright feral. I actually have a colorful story for you? I?ll write it sometime!
Loud music that shakes walls in a townhouse or apartment?! Are youbloodyserious? I actually wondered if certain noise had the propensity to drive someone clinically insane? I imagined all sorts of ways to get revenge? lol
But in the end, I won the war!!!
I?m so thankful this chapter is closed! I love having my own walls.. Sounds so simple and easy to take for granted, doesn?t it?
10. MYSELF?!!
Bet you didn?t see that one coming, did ya?!
But in all honesty, are we always happy with ourselves?! Don?t we wish there were some things different, but are part of us? Yes, we can change certain habits over the course of time; however, if we?re in a shitty mood, and can?t stand ourselves? I?m not sure what solution I can offer you.
Well, I?ve had plenty of those, and I?d love a vacay from my evil twin?. But we?re kind of a package deal, so I?m stuck with myself!
I know that there are some of you out there who feel the same way?
I?d love to hear about some of YOUR BIGGEST PET PEEVES!!!
Until then, I?ll either be looking for pixie dust or some red slippers to right some wrongs in my world.
Toodoloo!
