1. People who are really clingy
No, but really—lay off.
2. People who feel the need to be super secretive
“Where are you going?” “Out.” “Out where?” “Out there.”
3. Having to explain myself to others
Not that I’m trying to be secretive, but I shouldn’t have to tell you why I’m going to Target. (But I’ll probably tell you anyway.)

I think we can all agree on that.
5. Over-examining my mental state
6. Overanalyzing dreams

C*nt, Cancer, Capitalism, Cannibals—whichever fits. I hate them all.

10. The Real Housewives of Wherever
I don’t even watch this show, but everything I hear about it annoys me.
11. The Bachelor(ette)
I’ve actually seen bits and pieces of random episodes, but even the concept of this show is ridiculous.
12. People who abuse the system
Did you really need that handicapped spot? Do you really need food stamps? Are you actually incapable of working? If you answered no to any of those questions, you’re an ass in my book, Buddy.
13. Waiting
For anything.

15. Giving others advice
Especially when you know they’re just going to do what they want, anyway.

Yes, I am aware that it’s Girl Scout season. I am always aware when it’s Girl Scout season. But for some weird reason, Girl Scout cookies are never within my grasp???

Real talk

22. How expensive shoes are
Why would you buy your kids $100+ shoes?
23. People who feel the need to spell their kid’s name differently to make them ~special~
Newsflash: At least a thousand other kids in the world have the same spelling as your child, so it’s not as special as you think. Also, you’re sentencing yourself (and your child!) to have to do a lot of correcting and explaining…for the rest of your lives.
24. Writer’s block
25. People who publicly count down the days to their birthday
It’s not a holiday; nobody cares.
26. The fact that we accept the love we think we deserve
Especially when it means that we go for people who don’t deserve us. (Thanks Stephen Chbosky for explaining it in the clearest way possible.)
27. Absurd password requirements
Must use letters, numbers, two special characters (but you can’t use these few for whatever reason, we’re not really sure ourselves), but can only be 6-10 characters long…what?
28. People who know they have a problem, but don’t care enough to make a change
29. When people don’t turn lights off after leaving a room
If no one is in the room, who are you leaving the light on for? Casper?
30. When people don’t close doors after leaving a room
If you leave the lights on for Casper, you must be leaving doors open for him, too.
31. When people don’t close cabinets/drawers after taking something out of them
Okay, I really doubt Casper’s going through your stuff.
32. People who treat you poorly just because they’re in a bad mood
33. That dress codes affect females way more than they do males
I’m sorry, why are shoulders and collarbones so distracting?

One of the Worst Kinds of People.
36. People who don’t believe in mental illness, medicine, or asking for professional help.
37. Long days

Nothing makes me cringe like being able to see and hear the food you’re eating.
41. People who drive like the road rules are only suggestions
42. People who drive like maniacs as if they have somewhere to be at a specific time

AKA: vintage spam mail.
45. Walking behind an extremely slow walker

Gross.
