My Pet Peeves

Spit/gum on the sidewalk:
 
I hate it when people spit on the sidewalk. That is so damn disgusting. Hello, inconsiderate people! People walk on the sidewalks. The worst is when you don't see the spit and end up stepping on it. Yuck! I know I'm wearing shoes, but still. I don't want someone else's nasty germs on my things. Even worse than stepping on someone's spit is stepping on gum. It's the most annoying thing when you're walking and you get gum on your shoes. If you've ever stepped on gum, you know what I'm talking about. And then the gum leaves unattractive black spots all over the sidewalk. Why are people so lazy? Spit out your damn gum in a trash can or something. People caught spitting gum on the street or sidewalk should be punished with 10 hard smacks to the face with a paddle.
 

Leaving carts in parking spaces instead of putting them in their stalls:
 
Don't you hate it when you're looking for a parking space and you think you find an empty one but just as you are pulling in to that spot, there's a damn shopping cart right in the middle of it? How hard is it to put your shopping cart in the cart return? OK. I understand if the whole parking lot had just one cart return all the way at the other end of the lot. But this is very rare. Usually, there are plenty of cart return stalls all over the parking lot. Yet people are too damn lazy to return their cart there. You may say, "Why don't they make more cart return stalls then? Maybe that will solve our problem." It does not. There was this supermarket back in my hometown that provided its customers with plenty of cart return stalls. I'd like to say there was at least one cart return stall between every five parking spaces. So wherever you parked, you would have to walk no more than two parking spaces to return your shopping cart. Despite that, people would still leave their shopping carts everywhere, except, the designated stalls. No wonder why Americans are so fat!
 
Littering:

It irks me when I see people throwing trash out of their car window or just throwing trash on the street. Why don't they wait until they see a trash can to throw their trash away?Are you really that lazy and inconsiderate that you will just throw your trash wherever you please? People caught doing this should have their hands cuts off.

Honkers:

There are drivers that honk their horns at anything. And sometimes, you don't even know who the fuck they're honking at. Horns are used to maybe warn another driver if they're about to hit your car or get their attention when there's a green light to tell them to go. Horns should not be used if you are mad that someone cut you off because your selfish ass wouldn't let them into your lane or if a driver is too slow (to your standards) when you are in a rush. I mostly notice white people like to honk for the littlest things. Where did these people grow up? Where I grew up, if you honk at the wrong person, you might get yourself shot! No joke. My BF was a honker (he is also white). Not so much anymore since he has met me. He still has a bad habit of sometimes inappropriately honking and I want to smack him everytime he does it. I usually say something like, "I guess you're not scared to get shot, huh?"

So generally, I am annoyed by laziness, selfishness, and impatience. So if you're not one of those annoying people who do any of the things listed above, you are cool. But if you are one of those inconsiderate pricks, maybe you can look inside your heart or whatever you have there and consider changing your ways. Because really, these are very bad habits to have.
