At one point I created a post about Pet Peeves. Full disclosure, I’m too lazy to go back and confirm if I posted these in the last one. I don’t think I did but then again, I have lost my keys (twice) and my drivers license in literally the past 30 days. I did notice that there is a pattern around bathroom annoyances which is surprising because I get my best ideas either in the shower or on the toilet.
Annoyance 1: Those push button faucets where you are only allowed 3 to 5 drops of water, either scolding hot or dry ice temperature to wash your hands.
Annoyance 2: The phrase, “it is what it is”. Oh my God, that is like nails on chalkboard for me. That phrase, in my mind is you have essentially given up. I know, I know, it could be you have made peace with something and I will reluctantly bark “fine” to that but I still hate it.
Annoyance 3: Too large a toilet paper roll. I have mixed feelings about this. It’s great that you get more toilet paper on a roll but usually I find myself having to remove the roll to get the amount of tp I need then replacing it, only to find it on the side of the sink because someone was too lazy to replace it. To piggy back on this, I really don’t mind which way it unravels though I do prefer for it to unravel from the front. I know this can be a real pet peeve for someone.
Annoyance 4: Single-ply toilet paper. This conveys you don’t care. Take notice McDonald’s, you know who you are.
Annoyance 5: The phrase “my bad”. Oh my God, are you that lazy you can’t say, “that was my mistake”? I just think of Clueless and the first time I heard it.
Annoyance 6: Not finding the remote and having to get up to turn the t.v. An unnecessary hopelessness runs through me because for a split second I think I will never find the remote nor any remote will work with this particular t.v. and I will have to throw it out and spend $700 I don’t have to buy another 60″ t.v. Gawd! The first world problems!!!
Annoyance 7: The floor of a pool bathroom. Is there anything more disgusting? Especially when toilet paper has dropped on the floor and is now fashioned into something that looks like a white worm or a joint? I’ve never seen a joint before, except for on tv so if I’m completely off on this one, let me know.
That’s it for now. I may revise this post as I think of new annoyances. If you comment with your annoyances, I’ll add them to this post and add your blog next to the annoyance. Deal?
Yeah, “my bad”. Have they ever heard of “I’m sorry?” ARGGGGHHH
EXACTLY. Anyone that says “my bad” has just made themselves look a little dumber.
Ooooo! Yes to all those annoyances plus:
People who walk SUPER slow in front of you and take up enough space so you cant go around them
Bathrooms with no device to dry your hands after washing them (every place all over Korea).
Wait! There aren’t any hand dryers? Yuck! But you are right! I classify those people under completely oblivious, not thinking that maybe there are people behind them.
Yeah no dryers basically anywhere ita so annoying! Lol
That is weird to me. Hmmm…
Me too
“The floor of a pool bathroom.”
;oljsa dh;gdshfg ;soasjdanho. Literally the worst. UGH.
Can I get an amen on that!!! It’s like it has a thick film of YUCK, coating the entire floor. There are no words!
You got some good ones there. Annoyance #7 is definitely one of my favorites.
Apparently #7 is the clear winner! No one seems to like the floor. Imagine if you fell on it! Eww!!!
I would be bathing in bleach if I fell on it. Eww!
