1. When people spell the word "definitely" wrong. Come on people, if you are in college (or worse- a college graduate) you should be able to spell this word. Spell check should catch it if nothing else. I can sometimes tolerate the confusion of your/you're and they're/there/their considering I can be a victim of that mistake myself (albeit rarely) since our brains don't exactly decipher between homophones when quickly typing out a facebook status or wall post.
2. Putting on pillow cases. I don't know why this bothers me so much considering making an entire bed is much harder but I literally dread the final step of putting on the pillow cases. I mean it's not like I hate it to the point that I won't do it. I always do, I just don't enjoy it. Maybe I should start doing it first? Nah, that won't help.
3. Here is a conversation I have all too frequently at Starbucks:
Me: Hi, can I get the grande vanilla iced coffee with room please?
Barista: No.
Me (playing along, slightly annoyed): Please?
Barista: Oh alright/ Sure/ I don't want you tell you 'no' after you said please twice/ Some other "cute" variation.
A) I don't know why they think this is creative, B) it's not funny, and C) it has gotten old (and quickly I might add). And its always so awkward. I have nothing to say after they say I can in fact have the drink I am about to purchase for $2.56. Let's just faze this one out restaurant workers of America. And do so before I start deducting from your tip.
4. When people pour their little hearts out on facebook statuses. Let's be honest with ourselves people: it's for attention. There is a girl from high school (who I honestly don't even remember and am quite sure I never had an actual conversation with) and she has the most inappropriate updates. They are always about guys from the night before (gross), how her family is dysfunctional (no need to make that public knowledge), or how she is going to get wasted this coming weekend (and these are almost always posted on Mondays). Also when people make it obvious they have just broken up with someone/been dumped. I mean do I need to know this? Nope. Am I going to feel sorry for you? Probably not cause you are trying to get sympathy from your 500+ friends, most of them you probably haven't even spoken to for three years. Or when people put how they are so sick of drama, other people starting drama, and everyone else needs to grow up. Awesome, why don't you follow your own advice and not post that? Good idea? I think so. Let's keep it funny, interesting, and informative people!
5. When your magazine subscription still hasn't shown up and its already on newsstands. Isn't getting it first one of the built-in rights of a subscription? I'm looking at you Marie Claire and People Magazine. And if someone is swiping the mail, reading it, and then putting it their mailbox to be delivered to its rightful owner, well then that's annoying too.
Mini rants over.
