Day 6 – 30 Day Challenge

Day 6: Pet Peeves

I've got quite a lot, tbh, so I'll make a list of a handful of them.

– Flushing with the lid up

↳ Nasty! I don't want poo water particles flying onto my toothbrush, thanks

– Anything above a whisper while people are trying to sleep or wake up

↳ Ears can be sensitive, and loud sounds can be disruptive, ruining someone's rest. Be gentle.

– Some repetitive sounds

↳ I've got misophonia, so there are certain [repeating] sounds that I have zero tolerance for.

– Putting a dirty dish with leftovers in the sink

↳ Is it too difficult to scrap it into the bin or rinse it off real quick? Do you really have to have your mashed up leftovers floating in the soapy water that I have to reach my bare hands into?

– Leaving water or cooking prep messes on the counters/tables

↳ I shouldn't even have to say anything about this one. This is just blatant kitchen abuse.

– Lack of table manners

↳ Keep your elbows off the table, your hat or sunglasses off your head (unless we're outdoors), your phone out of your hands, and your food silently in your mouth (no talking with a full mouth). to clean any meal mess. If you wish to eat without boundaries, do it somewhere other than at the table, /especially/ at restaurants.

– Messy/disorganized spaces

↳ I'm a disorganized/messy person, but I like to try to keep everything in their place, out of the way, like an organised mess. I generally have an idea where most of my things are, and I always do my best to keep important things where I know they'll be.

– Frivolous spending / shopaholics

↳ Stop. Just stop. For your own sake. You don't need all this garbage, and it's such a waste of money. I don't even like money!

– Smoking indoors or near people, especially kids

↳ Wtf are you doing?

– Parents who don't properly raise their children or pets

↳ The reason why a child/pet would act up or get in trouble is a lot of the time because the parent/guardian has failed to do their job as a caretaker and guide. If you can't handle the responsibility, then don't even consider it. Not everyone is meant to be a parent.

– People who can't own up to their mistakes

↳ If you can't recognise your wrong-doings, then how are you going to grow?

– People who use their faith or belief system as an excuse to be bigoted/opinionated/hostile

↳ Stfu and sit down. Nothing positive can be achieved if you refuse to have a civil discussion, which includes listening and being open-minded.

– People who purposefully victimise themselves and wallow in self pity while refusing help

↳ Why? Why would you ever want to hurt yourself? I get it, I still have my suicidal moments, but everything is temporary. If you really want to get better, make the effort. Love yourself!
