It’s healthy to vent.

Posted by kim on July 20th, 2009

I’ve had a horrible weekend, which I might go into later this week. Today I’m feeling the need to vent, by way of a list, some of my pet hates and why I think almost half of humanity needs extinguishing from the gene pool :)

 Its healthy to vent.

  1. Dogs not on leads
    This is my all time seriously potent peeve. A dog, no matter how trained and obedient, can bolt at any moment. Walking your dog by a road and not having a lead attached is so SO stupid and dangerous. Jesus. I really hope that your unleashed hound makes a car swerve into your face.
  2. Guys who drive hunched over their steering wheel
    Honestly, wtf? How can that even be comfortable?! You just look like a douche. We get it, you can drive, but did you really pass your test in that ridiculous position? or is your car so shite that the seat won’t move backwards?
  3. Frame based websites
    … come on
  4. Crocs/Gladiator Sandals/Cork Wedges
    Why would you even put these on your feet? Crocs I can kinda understand at the beach and shit, but holy christ don’t ever let me see you wear those in a restaurant. Gladiator sandals aren’t so bad, but when people wear them with those uniform black leggings tucked in… ugh.
  5. People lying to their children
    Sometimes kids need to be lied to, obviously, like Santa & the Easter Bunny. The other day I heard a woman tell her kid that Yorkshire Tea was so called because they grew it in Yorkshire. This is a ridiculously unnecessary lie! This kid will be confused about tea for the rest of his life, and will forever encounter an unfruitful search for those illusive Yorkshire tea fields! Why not just say ‘They packet it up in Yorkshire and ‘cos we like a brew, they call it Yorkshire Tea’. Fucks sake.
  6. TV Presenters that fuck up
    Generally, your job is to speak, via an autocue, with a series of simple words. You’re employed and paid a lot of money to do this glorified reading-out-loud job, and yet you still manage to screw it up. I wouldn’t mind if it wasn’t your so called Life Skill, and honestly, I understand that it can be hard… but… gah!
  7. People who don’t pay attention
    At roundabouts, in queues, in the street. You’re wandering through life in a world of your own, slowing down everyone else while you’re at it. You were blessed with two delicious optical entities at the front of your face, fucking use them.
  8. Ppl who type lyk ths on Facebook r jerks
    Typing like you’ve only just discovered IRC chat, how very 90s. Chances are it takes you longer to replace that string of three letters with a corresponding number. It looks stupid and untidy, makes you look like a 12 year old, and it is ridiculously bad netiquette. Luckily for me I spent some time being a facebook friends nazi and now only have a literate and coherent friends list, but alas, I still see those people in the comments on status updates.
  9. Smokers
    I think you all suck, and that it’s a really jerky thing to do. You’re so hard done by, aren’t you? Not being able to smoke in pubs anymore? Price of cigarettes going up? boo-fucking-hoo.

Ah.

Care to share anything?

    1,4,7 and 8 are the true evils in the world..forget terrorism!! Crocs should be outlawed and everyone who owned a pair should be sent to a Nike Boot/Sneaker Camp for "re-education".
