Prompt 40: Annoyances.

Here are some things that annoy me, bother me or in any way make me upset, in no particular order:

1) People who don't accept other people for who they are.
2) Not recycling.
3) People who take a long time to do simple tasks.
4) Hurting animals and killing bugs.
5) Know-it-alls.
6) Snobby, arrogant, shallow, ignorant, rude, selfish, obnoxious, egotistic, etc. people... who think they are awesome.
7) Unprovoked unhappiness or pessimism.
8) Writing things in text lingo.
9) Being judgmental, especially when you don't know what you're talking about.
10) Boys being so hard to figure out and boys who like you, not for who you are, but for what you look like.
11) Not straight teeth and unflawless skin.
12) Impoliteness.
13) People who dislike things just because.
14) Things that aren't just the way I like them (little bit OCD right there).
15) Fake girls that cake their face in makeup.
16) People that don't talk or even make an effort to hold a conversation.
17) How unsophisticated the people in modern society are (minus a select few).
18) How 6) is the only sentence to be more than one line.
19) Extreme persistence for not very exciting things.
20) People who don't finish their food.

There are a lot of things that bother me. I know this makes me sound OCD and annoyed really easily, but it's true. For all of them, however, keep in mind that it ultimately depends on the situation. I'm going to go ahead and elaborate on number 17.

Whatever happened to holding open doors, pulling out chairs and other gentleman-like actions? It seems that chivalry is lost these days. I can't help but to wonder... Do guys actually think wearing their pants low and walking with a swag will impress girls? Not all of us are into the egotistical jock type. Hardly any of us think you're immature innuendo is funny. Would it kill you to act like a real man and treat girls like they're meant to be treated? Granted, us girls aren't doing a lot to help... As time goes on, girls are getting trashier and trashier, younger and younger. It's kinda sad.

I have noticed some exceptions though. Generally, I find that most foreigners, namely Europeans and Asians tend to be rather decent. Usually, Asians aren't capable of sexual innuendo or dirty remarks. They certainly don't know how to walk with their pants halfway down. And Europeans. Ahh, they are just wonderful, aren't they? Now, by Europeans, I don't mean the guy who's "a quarter German on their grandpa's side." I mean guys who are either from a European country or are really tight with their native country. Mostly every foreign guy I've met is a gentleman. Maybe it's the way they're brought up? Maybe it's just compared to all the guys here. But some boys could sure learn a thing or two...

Just some food for thought =).
