Pet Peeves

There are just some things in this world that gets on my nerves really quickly. I think they’re called pet peeves? So yea, let’s talk about pet peeves today. I think I can list down a few.

1.       People who stand around in a pool

Ok, like major no offence to those who can’t swim but I really can’t stand it (no pun intended) when people who can’t swim just stand around in the pool, chilling. If it’s one of those condo pools or theme park pools, I’m fine with it. But if it’s a standard sized, competition worthy pool, I’m gonna be pissed. Like seriously, don’t stand around in the pool. It’s such a waste of space and not to mention a major traffic stopper. People want to swim in peace knowing that they won’t be knocking into anything or anybody, ya know?

2.       People who take stuff without permission.

I’m not talking about thieves, I’m talking about those people who borrow or uses your stuff without your permission. Like as if I’m dumb enough to not know that my stuff got taken or used. Come on, people. Have some basic courtesy here!

3.       People who write stories in the second person.

Ok, this is a relatively new pet peeve because I didn’t know people actually wrote them in the second person. Seriously? Can’t they just write in the third person? It’s actually almost the same thing. Second person is just weird.

4.       Homophobes.

We are in the 21^st century. America and many other countries have legalized gay marriage which in my opinion, is a situation that shouldn’t even be happening. Gay marriage should’ve been the same as straight marriage. There shouldn’t even be the terms “gay marriage” and “straight marriage”. They’re all “marriages”. So yea, I can’t stand homophobes sometimes. Wait, let me correct myself. I can’t stand rude homophobes. If that person is a homophobe but keeps it to him/herself then fine because they’re not hurting anybody’s feelings. It’s those vocal ones that I can’t stand. Who people choose to love is none of their business. I don’t understand why they make it their business.

5.       People who complain non-stop/are wet blankets

Ok, I did not plan to write this one originally but due to some recent events, I’m putting this in as one of my pet peeves. Yesterday was my baby girl’s solo debut on a Korean music show. The performance was flawless, her live singing was so good people thought she was lip sync-ing and most importantly, you can see that she was truly happy on stage. As a solo artist, things are obviously done differently. Some parts will be covered by a pre-recorded audio while the singer focuses on the ad-libs. This friend of mine kept complaining on how the performance was below expectations because she didn’t sing the whole thing. Like what? I wanna see you try singing the whole thing and hit all the timings correctly. Ad-libs come in in the middle of a line most of the time, so obviously that line will be covered by the audio instead of being sung live. It’s all logic and common sense.
