some pet peeves

10.40am

greetings and salutations dear friends.

i have been a little busy these past few days since i got back from my holiday back in my hometown. there was my cousins wedding and i was partly involved in the whole set up. so anyways it was yesterday and now we are all just trying to catch our breath.

anywho, time just seem to fly by. families came from different parts of the world to attend this happy occasion. and there was so much catching up to do and my god, the jokes and laughter around was just amazing. it does feel good to laugh doesnt it? as in a genuine laugh i mean. not those fake ones and you KNOW its fake.

have you ever came across people who just dont get your joke? i have. or there's just this blank expression on their faces and their eyes just glaze over? yes, i know people who are like that. and sometimes you just want to strangle them and give them 2 slaps to jolt them out of their reverie. its as if they are in some kinda mild trance. seriously speaking, thats one of my pet peeves and i have more pet peeves which are listed below in random order -

1) picking of nose and flicking whatever out(be it at home or in public)
2) urine stain around the toilet bowl
3) a wet toilet/bathroom (be it at home or public)
4) farting
5) spitting in public
6) people who cant pay attention to you when you are talking(but expect you to pay attention to them when they talk) and their eyes tend to be darting anywhere else instead of focussing on you.


now, those are just the few things that i really cant stand coming from people, be it my family members, friends or the general public. so what's yours? what are your ideas on my pet peeves? do you agree with me or disagree?

people just dont realize that there's others staring at them when they are doing those disgusting things(especially the first 5 on my list). it could be a habit, i dont know but whatever it is, it just reflects on their upbringing and also their own character. for some, they may do it only at home and not in public, others may do it both in their own home and when they are out too. these people can be wearing the best brand of clothes or drive the flashiest of cars and live in a penthouse but once they do these disgusting things, all those things(your wealth) dont matter at all. goes to show how unhygenic you are. your material posessions are just for show only. i say - you have no finesse whatsoever, you think you do with your money and all but in actual fact you dont.

oh i also cant stand when im doing the talking, the person im chatting with, doesnt pay any attention to me at all. off and on i'd get the occasional nod. otherwise, they just "switch off" and i can tell from body language that they just aint following me. so i quickly end my chatter and turn the subject back to the person whom im talking to. and when that happens, you can see the "light" being litted up inside their head. "oh yay, my time to talk" and then they would start rumbling off. and they EXPECT me to sit there and listen to them. sometimes one must know what to talk about and what not to talk about. sometimes i ask myself, do i really care what you are telling me?

anyways, friends, i will leave it as that. i would love to continue to discuss about folks who always love to talk about themselves but i shall do that some other time. you all take care and have a great weekend!!
