    This may seem gross, but I seriously can't go a day without having Q tips. The feel of water in your ear after a shower or wax just seriously bugs me.
    I'm exactly the same, even though Q-tips are bad for you.

    When people over-fill the kettle. :(
    It just annoys me so much to think of the thousands of tones of CO2 that are wasted every single day on heating up water you don't need (and which you then throw out because tea with twice boiled water isn't very nice) just because you're too lazy to measure out a cupful.

    When colors don't match properly.
    I always have to keep things that are colored coordinated properly or I'm really annoyed. Whenever I'm helping getting my sister's dressed, I go through all their clothes to find an outfit and shoes that match all together or else I'm bothered and really annoyed. I'll dig if I have to. I do it with everything.
    It bugs me a whole lot when the colors don't coordinate right.

    ^ That. They always seem to ask me to do something just as I'm comfy and ready to have a scran.

    When people say 'hehe'. If it's to take the piss, I don't mind - I do it as well. But when they're being completely serious I just want to punch them. I think it just reminds me of stupid little simpering girls. /pointless rant.

    Styrofoam. Just everything about it. Ugh. Touching it, hearing it, the little pieces that come off of it. It hurts my teeth. Just ugh. I hate it.
    When I hear people chewing. It irks me.
    When 4 doors are open/closed.
    Anything that involves the numbers 4 or 6.

    When someone asks me to do something important for them and I don't do it (because I'm one lazy bitch) they say "Why? Is it because I'm black?!"

    Ugh...NO. IT'S NOT BECAUSE YOU'RE BLACK.

    When people add "it's not even funny" to the end of their sentences. That is one of my huge pet peeves. Half the time what the person said isn't funny anyway, and it just sounds dumb. I read something the other day that said "they're so in love it's not even funny." What the hell does that mean anyway?

    A book that doesn't look well-read. I know some people are anal about their books being in mint condition, but I will secretly think you haven't actually read it if the spine doesn't have a couple folds. Ugh...

    People who insist that they have some sort of mental disorder when they very clearly do not (and have never been diagnosed, for that matter). Preferring your pictures to hang straight on the wall does not make you "so OCD." Occasionally getting distracted in a conversation does not mean you have ADD. If you get just a little panicky around spiders, you almost certainly do not have a full-fledged phobia. You're just dramatic. Rolling Eyes

    Oh, and another I forgot about that drives me up the frickin' wall -- incorrect usage of the word "only". Like, if you say, "I only eat vegetables", that technically means you're emphasizing the eat -- like, you don't drink them, do inappropriate things with them, etc. -- and it should actually be "I eat only vegetables". Obviously, you still get your point across because hardly anyone would pick up on that, or even realizes it's incorrect, but Jesus, it irritates me.
    Great. Facepalm I will never not notice that now.

    Dang it. XD

    I really hate it when people are trying to describe dialog out loud and say 'I says' or 'they says' everytime somebody says something. >,<
    I also hate it when people say stuff that you said, but louder and to more people and steal all your credit.
    When people send you a text that just says, "Hi."
    When something rips out your ear buds JUST because it got caught on something.
    Tangled cords.
    'Y' things in the 'X' box. (Disorganization.)
    Things that are off by just a TEENSY little bit, that it's irritating as hell.
    People interupting.
    Being woken up.
    Too many questions.
    One last thing, when people try to be funny. Oh my god, shut UP!

    When people don't take care of their optics-- like throwing their glasses around, damaging the glass, getting smudges on it, or whatever. I seriously can't stand that. If you're throwing it around like that or getting them dirty and not cleaning them off, then they're doing you no good, and you obviously don't need them. I don't have the ability to see as well as others, and I'l never take sight for granted, because it seriously sucks not being able to see shit when I don't have my glasses on.

    and speaking of glasses, if there's even a little speck or a smudge on my glasses, I have to thoroughly clean them, or if I can't do that properly, I won't even wear them. It bothers me that much.

    Also, when people say "aks" instead of "ask," holy shit.. where the fuck did that even come from. that's like, not even a fucking word, and it makes you sound unintelligent. ugh

    When people don't know how to use reflexive pronouns properly.
    "If you need more information, please contact Bob or myself" WTF. You cannot have "myself" there because you haven't mentioned yourself previously in the sentence.

    When there's an eyelash that's different from all the other ones. I.e., thicker, longer, shorter, darker. It has to come out. I can't take it being there. But I have no eyelashes anymore anyway, so..

    I think that's it for now. Haha, I started writing, and I thought about the things that botehr me, adn I got a little angry, :o

    I get extremely, extremely annoyed when I realise that the girls from my boyfriend's work that friended him are single. Even if they seem nice. It's got me into trouble more than a few times. Rrrrr.

    When all my food is all over the place on my plate. I can't stand it if all the vegetables get covered in the sauce from the rest of the food. Everything should be separate.

    When people make out that they can read minds or have powers or something. I know a girl who used to constantly talk to me about how she could predict test scores because she guessed one correct. It drives me up the wall.

    People singing when you're trying to stand next to them. I just hate when people sing in public next to me and I don't know whether I'm supposed to tell them they're good or just walk away.

    When people read or write in books by folding the book in half so they can only see one page. It wrecks the book and irritates me badly.

    When people breathe too loudly. My dad does this, and a few kids in my year, and it's one of the most annoying and irking things for me to have to listen to.

    Hypochondriacs. Or at least, people who act like them. If it really is a mental problem that's making all my friends believe they're autistic just because they can be awkward, or that they're getting a migraine because they're heads hurt, then fine. But it isn't. So they should stop complaining and just get on with it.

    The fact that the plural of 'forum' has been anglicized for the internet. The plural of 'forum' is 'fora,' not 'forums.' Being a Latin student, this bothers me so much. Disgust

    WRITING IN LIBRARY BOOKS.
