My Pet Peeves!

Again I became annnoyed of the things that people in New York City do. Because sometimes, all of us are not all that smart. So I thought I'd give some pointers out to those who fit these: 1. Hey you! The seat hogger! Please do me a favor and fit yourself in ONE seat. Not 2 or 3 seats, just one. I hate people like you who spread your legs so far apart that people would think your about to give birth. I'm sure you don't want to pay per-seat do you? Thanks, I appreciate it. 2. If you're gonna stand on a crowded bus or train, please take off the huge, space-consuming mount on your back, otherwise known as your backpack. Let's picture it: If you did take the 1 minute to take off you backpack, just maybe one more person can fit in that space you were taking up, or you could actually stop nudging the person behind you. I'm sure wouldn't like that being done to you. Oh wait, you can actually put that in between your legs if you want to take up two seats, haha. 3. I understand that maybe your breath stinks, or maybe your hungry and to help ignore the hunger pain you decide to chew gum, but please don't let everyone hear it. What's with the smacking? oh maybe you want everyone to know that you chew like a cow. That goes for food too! Keep your mouth closed! 4. People, I understand that you may be short on cash to travel the subway or bus, but please, pretty please, don't ask me to pay for it. I work hard and long days and I'm not going to pay your way just because you spent your last on booze or drugs. I have enough bills. (this doenst apply to all panhandlers, I'm referring to teenagers or young adults who are wearing nice clothes and shoes but don't have a metrocard---tsk, tsk, tsk!) 5. I have a huge problem with this one: When I go to a public bathroom, and I urgently have to go and there is someone else's urine on the toilet seat! Why do i have to clean up after your mess?!?!?! That is unsanitary, disgusting, and disrespectful! Be considerate to others who have to go in afeter you. I'm sure you wouldn't like to clean up after someone else. Oh and flush! believe it or not, some women don't. I really don't look forward to having a present when I come in. 6. I hate that I'm in a conversation, either on instant messaging or text, and all the responses are limited to either, "ok, yea, cool, or no" and my favorite, when they disappear. they dont say bye, or I have to go, or anything informing me that they don't intend to answer and just *poof* disappear. If that's the case, don't message me in the first place! I could be having a much more interesting conversation with someone else where I can give my entire attention to! 7. Sometimes when I'm on the train, I ike to read a newspaper or something like that and in that time, I like to be in my own zone. But then its gets ruined because I can see someone from the corner of my eye who wants to read along. The newspaper is only 25 cents, get your OWN! 8. I could be in a conversation and I get interrupted and/or talked over. I start a sentence and I can't finish it becaus eI can't hear mysef. Please have some courtesy to at least finish what I was saying, you self indulged pain. 9. Ahhh a common annoyance, especially with the warm weather approcahing. Teenages with their boost mobile phone (probably prepaid) and sidekicks who play their ghetto music on speaker. They can supossedly afford a phone but not headphones? The people surrounded by you don't want to hear the crap your listening to. and it sounds like a bunch of static. And this brings me to the next pet peeve: 10. If you are in public ad MUST carrry on a conversation on your cell phone, please lower your tone. I can't understand why people must yell, laugh so loud, curse so loud and act like no one is around. I'm playing my ipod and I can STILL hear them talk. That's a sign that it is inppropiate. 11. I HATE when I'm walking in the middle of a busy street and the people in front of me decide to STOP right there. Nope, not to the side where there's less traffic but right there in the middle of it all. Be considerate of the people who are trying to make it to work or wherever else they have to go. 12. Most annoying of all, people who smoke: Please smoke away from those who do not. It's nice that you want to have lung cancer or emphysema but I shouldn't suffer later in my life because you can't move your feet to somewhere where others cannot be affected. Which reminds me how messed up the world is, that people who have taken in second-hand smoke will die of something before poeple who smoke do. 13. People who take up the entire staircase. Staircases have invisible lines going down the middle. Walk up the stairs to your RIGHT. Don't take up the entire staircase, unless you wanna put your name on it. To Be Continued . . . . . .
