After watching the Tosh.0 (best show ever!) episode where he makes a personal “I Hate…” video, I felt inspired. I decided I would like to make an “I Hate” blog. I know readers probably are thinking, “but Haley, a peppy person like yourself couldn’t possibly fill a blog post with things you hate.” I think this is just proof that even the best of us let inane things get under our skin. I also figured this post will not only get some things off my chest, but it can also inform my peers so they can stop doing some of these things around me, and then they can stop annoying me. (I mean that in the nicest way possible!)
I hate…
Mixed handwriting.
I cannot handle it when my paper has two different handwritings on it. In Calc, if Mr. Maas helps me with a problem, he immediately reaches for my pencil and writes on my paper. As soon as he walks away I erase it and re-write it myself. Also, I do not like mixed handwriting in my planner or on my calendar. Tina will tell anyone, do NOT write on my calendar. Furthermore, mixed pens/pen colors. This drives me crazy. If I start writing something with a certain pen, and then I can’t find that pen, I start over. I wish I were joking. My planner is always written with the same pen (my black Pentel RSVP fine point pen). Lastly, mixing cursive and regular handwriting. I frequently write in cursive, and no matter which one I choose, I stick with it from start to finish. For example, if I write my name in cursive, the paper will be written in cursive. I get a little queasy when I see people have a handwriting that is half cursive half print. I know this makes me sound crazy, but we all have our quirks…right?
When people chew with their mouths open
I shouldn’t hear you eating. That is gross.
Erasing without an eraser
This drives me up a wall! THERE IS NOT AN ERASER ON THE BACK OF THAT PENCIL…STOP TRYING TO ERASE WITH IT!!! Seriously. If I hear that scratching of the metal on the back of a pencil against the desk I SNAP. Get yourself one of those cool little eraser pencil-toppers. Or get a different pencil. Or, this is probably the best option, stop making mistakes. Just a warning: if you do this around me, I may grab your pencil and break it into a million tiny pieces. And by may I mean I absolutely will.
Tomatoes
Do not ruin my food with this horrible vegetable (also annoying, people who insist on always correcting that “a tomato is a fruit”) Honestly, when I taste a tomato, I start to cry a little bit. They are gross. Please don’t eat them in front of me, or try to taint my delicious salad, sandwich, or pizza with that horrendous food. Don’t.
Country music
It all sounds the same. And its bad.
Hang Nails
This is why I cut my nails as rarely as possible. After I cut them, if they snag on anything, I will try not to touch anything for the rest of the day. I have so many nail files around my house just in case of emergency. If I’m out and I break a nail, I die a little bit inside. Along these lines, I cannot handle it when people pick their nails! Why do you do that? I flinch every single time I hear that noise (Tina can also vouch for this). And NAIL BITING. That is the worst! Please don’t bite your nails when I am around. Please don’t bite them ever.
Slim Jims
My dogs have food that looks more appealing than these gross meat sticks. Seriously, they smell like death.
When people don’t undertand the difference between “there,” “their,” and “they’re” (also applies to “you’re” and “your”)
Luckily, I think everyone reading this is off the hook. We’re in AP English 12, ‘nuff said.
Rapping
Not rapping on the radio, I’m a fan of some rappers. I’m talking about the weird teenage boy rapping that I hear when I’m trying to enjoy my lunch. Seriously. This is Chagrin Falls, you sound stupid.
Starting my car in the morning
The second I wake up, my mom yells up the stairs for me to go outside and start my car. First, I’m angry because I have to wake up at the crack of dawn to get to school, then I have to venture out in the cold to start my car? NO. No.
Being shushed, or being told “don’t worry about it”
Don’t tell me what to do.
:)
(I felt like this was such an angry post, I needed to add a smiley face to keep people from hating me, also so people know that I also have happy thoughts...somewhere)
"I hate handicap parking spots...why do you get to park so close?"
