My Top 6 Pet Peeves (Because 5 Just Wasn’t Enough)
1) “F#&% that B!+(#!!!”
They say boys mature slower than girls. I say pre-teen boys are the epitome of this idea. Walk down the halls of a junior high, and you’ll see what I mean. There’s a whole brigade of fine young men ready to drop f-bombs when given the chance, and believe me, they’ll find their chance. No matter how small the opportunity, they will find a way to express their newfound vocabulary.
Now I’m not hating on everyone who swears – just those who will cuss up a storm because they think they look cool doing it. News flash: you don’t.
2) Delirium Over Maturity Level
Have you ever noticed that the one person who likes to talk about how immature everyone else is is usually the one who is the most immature? PC from Bravo’s NYC Prep is a perfect example of this. He makes fun of people to make himself look superior and pouts when he doesn’t get his way. He then brags about how he’s more mature than everyone else when in reality, he’s probably the most childish kid on that show.
3) All Talk & No Action
If you say you’re going to do something then do it. Please do not have a four-hour discussion with me on something you never plan on doing. Thank you.
4) Show-offs
Now I know I’m not the only one who is annoyed by show-offs. I don’t mind if you’re enthusiastic or proud of something, but there comes a certain point where you really need to shut up about it and stop bragging because chances are, it’s really not that great of an accomplishment anyway. If you got an A on your paper, then hey great job! If you got an A on your paper, and I got an F, and you’re rubbing it in my face for the third time today, I might try to kill you. Don’t say you weren’t warned.
5) Erroneous utilization of English lexis
I am all for using fancy terminology to create a written masterpiece. Throw in some flowery words here and there to really embellish a story and make yourself seem smart. But if you end up using an adjective as a noun, that kind of defeats the whole purpose of using your big, smart words now doesn’t it?
What I find even more interesting is that people actually fall for this fancy vocabulary and end up believing that this writer is in fact a genius. Well, I give kudos to you Mr. Intellectual for actually tricking people into believing you’re intelligence is far greater than it really is.
6) “Dude I was so wasted last night…”
This exact sentence is heard way too often. People brag about getting drunk like it’s something to be proud of, and they always seem to say it really loud, as if it’s an announcement to anyone with ears. Please stop. It is not attractive, it does not make you special, and you are not the only one who has said this today.

While i agree that preteen boys are the worst, i would say that high-school/college girls tend to lose any sense of self appreciation and start acting like whores. A lot of girls feel like they have to get drunk at every party and meet random guys, go back to their room, and have sex. If it isn’t actually doing that, it’s feeling like you have to do that in order to be an adult.

Additionally, i find it annoying that college boys seem to exaggerate the benefits of alcohol more than girls tend to. It’s extremely annoying when you’re stuck with some idiot who feels like he has to get hammered in order to have fun. Despite this though, i notice that girls, not guys, tend to be the ones trying to flaunt their beers in facebook pictures.
My two cents.
Oh, i also agree with your cluster f-bomb position.
I can definitely see how your two points can be pet peeves, but personally, they don’t make the top of my list. Perhaps it’s because I am in the college stage and am so accustomed to hearing stories, they have ceased to bother me.
I do see where you are coming from. It seems that college can bring out the worst tendencies in people. While most of it is stupid and immature, I believe all of it turns out to be quite a learning experience. Eventually everyone looks back at their behavior and realizes how ridiculous they acted, but you learn from it, and you move on.
Ughh, you’re so right! I hate Jr. High school kids! The incoming freshmen this year all think they’re tough, and they act like punks. I’ll go to the park and I’ll see like 12 of them, then they swear at me and tell me to get the F outa the park. I listen since I’m out numbered. But one time they tried to spit on me and that really pissed me off. The guys are punks and the girls are self centered… I know this is horrible to say but, I hope they all get hit by a train, impaled in the chest (thus puncturing the lungs), and the burn till there is nothing left…
You know what, I think I might have actually run into those punks at the park earlier tonight. It was like I was watching a little bicycle gang because none of them are even old enough to drive yet. Looks to me like they’re just a bunch of losers. I mean, come on – they think that they’re cool because they pretend to own the park? Trust me, you have a lot more going for them than they do. Ten years later, you’re probably going to be incredibly successful, and they’re going to be still riding their bikes to the playground.
I just have to say thank you. for all of these. haha
they’re all very true.
Haha and thank YOU for reading
