Frustrating irritations, Flabbergasting Nuisances, and Unbearable Agravants.

I am a simple man, so I would like to think, but like most people, some things bother me more than they ought. These "pet peeves" are few and I have grown more accustomed to them over the years, but they still exist, so here are mine:

Honorable Mention: Procrastination. Don't you hate it when someone does something the last minute. For a completely figurative example, imagine someone is supposed to write a blog post by the end of the month, and everyone else has already completed their blog posts. But not this guy. This one guy just sits around and waits until the last minute on the last day of the month to post their topic update. What a moosh. Am I right? Anyway. That just chaps my hide. Be more responsible for pity's sake.

7. Ignorance. This is a huge one. Whether it is my own ignorance or the ignorance of others, it simply makes me broil. Not knowing something is one of the most frustrating things I face daily. Whether it is "knowing who sings that song that is stuck in my head?" or knowing "what exactly happened last night?" I want to know! But some things are better left unknown, and I have partially learned to accept that. Still, I still want to know, and when other people don't know things that they should know, that bugs me a lot as well. "Hey Phil!" I exclaim. "Yeah." Phil responds. "Who sings 'When the Levee Breaks?'" I ask. "How should I know?" Phil replies. "You are wearing a Led Zeppelin T-shirt, Phil." Seriously Phil you're killing me.

6. Being Sick. I feel like everyone hates this. It annoys me to no end. Being ill is just diabolical. Whether I am regurgitating in large quantities, sending waves of heat off of my forehead like it is an Easy-Bake Oven, or gushing nose-juices like the Niagara Falls, being sick is terrible. I could be doing anything, but instead I am miserable and confined to the couch. Worst ever.

5. People Who Overreact. Jokes are simply jokes. Some are worth reprimanding, but it is okay to jest. Some people need to take a chill-pill. Today's society is too wound up. People's lives have been ruined because of a joke taken too seriously, and that is not funny.

4. Fear. I hate being afraid. I don't get afraid often. Honestly, I am exclusively afraid of heights. Fear is such an overpowering feeling. It leaves you weak and worthless. I fight fear as much as possible. Removing fear from my life is something I strive for. Once fear is removed, one can become unstoppable.

3. Reckless Banter. Whenever I open my mouth and say something I shouldn't. That bothers me a lot. Unfortunately, that happens a lot. Especially, in the heat of debate. I find the best way to handle this "pet peeve" is to use my brain. I wish I could say it works every time, but it doesn't.

2. Disrespect and Defilement. In today's society, nothing is sacred. People are always trying to smudge everything. Everyone has made mistakes, and nothing and no one is perfect (except for God, but I feel like that should go without saying). Why do people feel like they need to uncover every little thing, and invent wild rumors to desecrate someone's image. This happens all of the time. Some people and organizations devote their lives to doing this. Magazines and organizations such as TMZ thrive off of making other people look terrible. How childish.

1. "Pet Peeve." This one is completely irrational, but it does bug me. The final annoyance which irritates me endlessly, is simply, the term "pet peeve." I don't know why, but I just hate it. True Story.

Well, that is it. Vote Herman Cain 2012.
