Things That Make Me Irrationally Angry

I hate to be one to complain, but what else is the Internet for?


...you know how some things just drive you crazy for most irrational reasons? You know what I'm talking about, don't deny it. Yeah I'm talking to you, that person glaring at me as I chew on my pen in the library; you too, that person who huffed at me when I fumbled for my bus change yesterday. Everyone has their irrational pet peeves, and I'm no different. So let me share some of mine:
1) People who chew loudly. I'm not talking about the people who purposely chew obnoxiously just to bug you, the ones who chew with their mouths open, or even the ones who chew with unnecessary gusto. I'm talking about the people who chew with their mouths closed, in a seemingly acceptable way, but still manage to click their teeth, mash their food loudly within their mouth, and generally just make me want to tell them to STOP IT NOW. Of course I don't, because they're not doing it intentionally, but I will leave the room, no joke.


 2) Slow walkers.  It's unnecessary. It's annoying. Whether you are walking with me, in front of me, or awkwardly-beside-but-slightly-ahead-thus-preventing-me-from-passing-you, it makes me want to hit you.


3) (Loud) nose breathers. Most people have a problem with mouth/heavy breathers, which I understand, but the annoying whistle of a nose breath is a much overlooked sound in my opinion. For some reason, I almost only notice this while watching a movie. You know, I'm all like "aw yeah, enjoying my movie," and the person beside me is all like "aw yeah, respectfully breathing quietly through my nose, no heavy mouth breaths coming from this champ! I'm awe-" NO. With each breath is a slight whistle, and that's the sound that is slowly killing my soul.


4) Passive aggressive/attention seeking facebook statuses. Come on. You know what I'm talking about.
...I don't even need to illustrate this one. You know what I'm talking about.

Anyways, I'll stop at 4, although I'm sure there are more. Also, it took me a shockingly long time to draw those pictures, so I hope you appreciate them.

Heels

Unless the library is carpeted, HEELS STAY OUT.
Heels are not for school. Why?

Because, inevitably, if you insist on wearing them, you will be that person.

The one walking through the library.

Sounding like the leader of a gang of tap dancing horses, staking out the library in preparation for your take-over of all places quiet and ideal for studying.

And, as a result, I will never look at you the same. Yeah, you don't want that.


But seriously, people who wear heels/loud shoes in the library is another one of my irrational pet peeves. Despite knowing that they're not walking loud on purpose, or maybe they wore heels because they didn't know they would end up in the library, or whatever other reasonable explanation for their loud walking they have, it still irritates me to no end. Yeah... how's that for neurotic?
In conclusion, for all of you library-wandering, heel-wearing girls (and guys) out there: You suck, but if you need to be here, don't be like that person last week, who walked by me no less than four times in half an hour. If you are lost, just consult a map, they're all over the place. (And to the guy who went sprinting by me last night, headed towards the doors: that seemed a little excessive. But also a little heroic, so good luck with whatever you were so keen on getting to.)

This video confuses and delights me all at the same time:



Especially when played with Lion King Music.
