PEEVES by RACHEL ››


Saying 'no offense' before saying something totally offensive.
What the hell? Seriously, if you have to preface it with THAT, then don't say it. Or, just be an up-front dick, not a sneaky dick.

When people try to make you think something is cool when it really isn't cool at all.
Loser: "Dude! The scab on my inner thigh looks like Jesus! Wanna touch it?" Me: "Hell-freaking-no!" Loser: "Come on, if it bleeds on you, you'll get a free miracle!" Ugh.

When the lotion bottle suddenly has some sort of moisturizing diarrhea all over everything
You want a little bit of lotion, but no, first it won't come out at all, and then it ALL comes rushing out everywhere. What do you do with all of that lotion? Offer to "share" with strangers? Try to put it back in the bottle? Go soothe the chafed skin of the entire population of a third world country?

People who do not remove their sunglasses indoors.
There's just something dodgy about someone who stands there, inside, out of the sun and elements, with their eyes hiding behind tinted glass as you count back change to them. Its even worse when they wear a hat with their sunglasses. You just sit there, hoping to God they don't hold you up.

Wobbly uneven table legs restaurants.
This is just irritating especially when its more of an upscale restaurant — you can't exactly stick some sugar packets under the leg like you would at a diner.

Grubby, tangled haired children.
Are you in a war torn country without running water or spare clothes? No? Then wash you kids faces, and change their clothes. God, what kind of parents are you, letting your kids look like street urchins!

When people with disgustingly dirty houses insist you take your shoes off.
Why? So I can have the pleasure of having my socks stick to your filthy, disgusting floor, covering in spilled beer, cat urine, and unknown filth?

When strangers try to touch my children.
He's cute, he's adorable, I know, with his curls and dimples, but for the love of god, admire from a distance! If you want to touch a baby, go make one, and keep your mangy paws off mine!

People apologizing for things they have no control over.
This woman I work with apologized for it being cold today. Then I came home and that guy Dick Cheney shot in the face was on TV apologizing to DICK CHENEY for being shot in the face.

Office formalities which require me to thank a superior for giving me an assignment.
My boss gives me a pointless, time consuming and brutally boring assignment that I simply don't want to do. Yet I find myself thanking him afterward. Like I am just so grateful for being given more work.
