I'm going to say the little things are my biggest pet peeves, such as:
- People putting a disc from one game into the case of another game (or just generally leaving a disc out in the open to get all sticky and such).
- People with sticky hands touching my shit, especially children. My young cousin, who's about 5, went down my room before and started rubbing her hands on the door handle and other stuff. I had to get a wipe and rub everything down right away because the thought of my stuff all getting all sticky (there's a joke in there somewhere but I can't find it) horrifies me.
- The idea of people not washing their hands or having dirty hands (I really sound like such a clean freak right now). When you get introduced to someone and they cough into their hand just before they hold it out for a handshake, putting you in the awkward position of being unable to refuse them but also having a limp handshake due to your reluctance to grip their coughy hand.
- Unnecessary talking. Maybe it's just because I'm quite introverted but I believe if you don't have something worthy to say then don't start talking about nothing. Words are like a currency so why should you squander them? A prime example is sitting on the bus or waiting at the bus stop and initiating conversation with me, even though you know I have my ear phones in listening to music. The bus isn't coming for another 20 minutes yet you feel the need to awkwardly start a conversation about the weather or the recession, which lasts for like 30 seconds, then you remain silent until the bus comes. This makes me feel bad about putting my ear phones back in and also puts pressure on me to talk to you since the conversation ball is in my court.
- People. No particular group, just people in general. Acting like every event in their life is a significant event for everyone else, pretending that they're special even when they aren't. I see people watching reality shows and I really have to wonder what the attraction is. Real life is boring, so why would you watch other people being bored as well? Maybe I'm just being a bit of a sociopath.
...my God, I'm going to die alone, old and bitter in a room filled with jars of my own urine.
