Feet Draggers

One of the most annoying sounds ever is the sound of someone dragging their feet when they walk. The scratching, skidding, rubbing-on-concrete noise would make my ears scream and cry if they could. I can't help myself but to look around to find this horrible noise and then to stare at the person who is causing it. Half the time I just to make sure they actually have two full legs so I don't feel guilty when I curse at them in my head.

What's wrong with walking normally? It's really easy, I promise. Dragging your feet may feel nice, maybe it makes you feel safer knowing your feet never actually leave the ground beneath you, but it's ruining my day and your shoes!

Why do you want to ruin your shoes? Are you too good to not mess your shoes up? I hope not, because if you're that important and rich to waste shoes, maybe you shouldn't be going to Pitt-Greensburg. I'm just sayin'!

We Greensburgians...Greensburgites...Greensburgers...take pride in our foot wear and our ability to lift our own two feet!

It's warm...for November

I get that it's in the upper 50's and it's really sunny outside, but it's November, not April. I cannot stand when girls are walking around on campus wearing tank tops and flip flops because it's warm for 5 hours of the day. As soon as the sun goes down, it's freezing out, so this just says to me that I probably should keep all my summer clothes in their box until it is actually summer again....

In case you didn't read my past 53 posts today...

I was just on Facebook and saw some person was posting a lot of status updates. Then I realized that this person was posting something every couple of hours. And to make it worse, it all involved what they were doing for the rest of the day, which would have been okay, but the schedule never changed. It was just updated and the first thing that was on the list the post before wasn't there anymore.

Do I care what you are doing every 2 hours? No, I do not.

I especially don't want to be reminded that you have "studying, class, lunch, studying, shopping, class, meeting" and then "yay! one class down! lunch, studying, shopping, class, meeting."

It's not necessary!

No one really cares that much, not even your own mother. I mean the first post, fine, whatever, but consistently updating your posts even when nothing new or important has happened to you?! C'MON!

It's one annoying thing to put 5 posts up in 5 hours that are all quirky thoughts and sarcastic comments--Oh my, how clever you are!--but it's a whole other thing to say something that I've read once or twice that day already.

"K"

I hate when I'm texting someone and all they send back is "k". It's not as if I'm worried you didn't get my last text and I needed some confirmation of that. I have unlimited texts for my plan, but I don't want to have to go through the process of checking the text and then deleting it because it's so useless to have. It's not a normal conversation we are having, I won't be worried if you don't send a response.

And just to make this the cherry on top, I did some research...

Here is a Facebook group for hating people who send texts that only say "K"

Texty McTexterson

I'm not against texting people all day. If I feel like texting, I'll do it. If I feel like replying to you, I will. But those people who try to start or end a fight in a text are just plain mean. I'm guilty of this, but sometimes I can't help myself if you really piss me off. But it should never be a constant thing. I always try and call a person back if we are text-fighting. I hate when people try to fight me via text so it's just hypocritical of me to do the same thing back.

Text messages are hard evidence that you said something that you probably wish you hadn't. It isn't like a fight where you say something out loud and can be easily forgotten. It's in there, on my phone, in my inbox. And if you're a masochist like me, you often save these texts just to make sure that later, when you're fighting with that person again, you can open it up to remind yourself of how pissed you are and how much of a jerk they can be.

God, it is exhausting!

Being mean is hard, textually assaulting someone is easy. I think that if a person has big enough balls to type what they typed, then they should be able to say it to my face or at the very least over the phone. No one wants to fight via text, if you do, then grow up. If you have problems expressing how you feel in words, well, then there's no better time than now to learn.

And, hey, I have a good idea! How about, if you have anything sweet to say to your significant other, you write a letter or send them a card? Everyone loves mail. People love getting little (or big), hard-evidence reminders of how much someone cares for them.

Bad parenting

I'm not a baby mama.

I have no children and I don't plan on having any until I'm good and ready and hopefully married.

The only children I've had to look after were my own younger siblings. That all being said, I think I still have a pretty good idea of how and especially how not to raise a child. I know that I could never fully understand what it is like to be a parent before I even have children of my own, but I'm pretty sure knowing the basics would work for most people who have their head on straight. Like, I know I shouldn't swear around my child if I do not want him or her to swear, I know not to scream and yell at them for screaming and yelling while in the grocery store, and I know that hitting them when they piss me off only teaches them to hit someone or something when they are mad.

Earlier today, I was walking into Giant Eagle and there was a small family behind me- a father, a mother, and a daughter who was about 6 or 7. The mother said something about a driver in the parking lot who she thought was driving too fast and out of no where the father says, very loudly mind you, "Asshole!"

I almost spun around to stare at him! Did he really just yell that with his daughter 2 feet from him? All I could think of was, that man does not have the right to be mad at his daughter when she comes home from kindergarten swearing up a storm. He's reaping what he sows, as they put it.
When did parents stop being parents and start being random people who seem to have accumulated a child in the past week? 'Tis a shame.

I'm a sexy (fill in the blank).

Okay, okay. I know Halloween is over and done with and every store is now setting up for Christmas (I'll talk about that one in another post...), but that doesn't negate the fact that I still hate mostly all the Halloween costumes for women out there.

It's not easy to find a modest costume that looks nice and that isn't a pile of leaves or something ridiculous. A woman is either a sexy fireman or a sexy referee or a sexy mouse/cat/other small animal. And then there are those girls who are soooo hot that the only costume they need is an expensive bra and booty shorts who happen to throw on some wings or something and call themselves a fairy. Newsflash, hun, you aren't a fairy, you're a skank. A skank who is so full of herself that she knows people are jealous of her and her emaciated body One that knows that all the boys want her and to never call her again or even remember her name or even care what she thinks or says. But as long as she looks hot...


But, hey, if you're hot and thin and you can rock the I'm-so-sexy-I-don't-need-clothes look, then by all means, who am I and who are your parents to make you feel bad about yourself and your choice of clothing (or lack thereof).
