I have a whole bunch of pet peeves, and I am wondering if writing (typing) them out will held me be less peevish. Most involve things I have observed people doing on the streets (or public transportation) of NYC. I don't know if this will make me look, but there are just so many things that bug me about the 8 million people in this town!
- Litterbugs
- People who don't cut the little thread "X" off the split on the back of a Coat, Jacket or Skirt.
- Signs that use quotation marks "incorrectly"
- People who cut their fingernails on the subway
- People without any sort of obvious disability who shuffle their feet
- Black people who wear white tights, and white people who wear nylons that are too tan.
- Really loud, wet throat clearing.
- Noisy eaters.
- Saying "You know what's funny?" then proceeding to tell a story that is in no way funny.
- Saying (or moreso writing), "could of," "would of" or "should of." (should be "have")
- Men who sit on the train with their legs spread way too wide. I am sure it's not that big, buddy!
- That horrible plastic packaging that requires a chainsaw to get into!
- People who only speak in movie quotes.
- Really long voicemails with an incoherant callback number at the end.
- Toilet paper under the roll.
- People who randomly stop in the middle of the sidewalk, walk 3 abreast, or generally having no concept of their surroundings.
- People who run for the bus or run in a backpack.
- When you are walking with someone, and they walk ahead of you, not noticing you lagging behind.
- When I am walking in heels alongside someone and they make me walk on the sidewalk grates.
- Bad tippers
- Honking
