1. People with dominant personality
Like what’s written in this article, dominant people like controlling or bossing others around. I’ve been in some internal conflict due to being in the same groups as these kind of people. They shoved their
ideas down people’s throats and blocked others’ ideas or opinions. Then after people were fed
up and decided not to participate actively (or completely bowed out) in the group
discussion anymore, they’d go ‘Why the hell am I the only one working on this Goddamn group project?’ LMFAO, ’cause you are!

2. Absence of “Thank you”
If one comes to others only
when they need a help or something, that’s understandable. Because
without you even realizing, you must’ve ever once in a lifetime, asked
for or borrowed something from someone you barely even talked to. But
what if they did so and never said anything in return? Not that we’re
needy of gratitude or anything, that is simply a basic manner anyway. If someone helps you,
gives you something, or is simply being nice to you, you have got to acknowledge it and show some appreciation, right? Unless you are a dothraki. LOL Learn from the Japanese, they always politely say thank you and simultaneously feel sorry after someone does them a favor.
わざわざ どうも すみません。
“Thank you very much for going out of your way for me.”
3. Overuse of the word Swag
I
saw the word floating around A LOT across the internet. And whenever I see it, I just can’t hold the
urge to punch someone tell the posters to pack it in. Nobody might verbally forbid you to use this S word, but if you
use it too excessively, people wouldn’t only be sick of it—but also of you. Use it on every single one of your twitter, facebook, or instagram updates and be ready of your friends or
followers mass-blocking you.
4. Impatient road users and their exasperating honking
Last
but not least. It’s getting on my nerves whenever any car drivers or
motorbike riders constantly honk their horns impatiently. It’s noise pollution,
in case you don’t know. At the
beginning, I thought they really were in a hurry that they kept on
honking to make other road users make way for them. But
then I saw them driving back in normal speed again not too soon after
overtaking us, then I thought, “why did you honk like that bladder’s
about
to burst from dying for a pee?” We weren’t even driving that slowly!
Sometimes, the other side of the road was still empty and
harmless to pass, but they still had to be greedy. Next time this
happens, I’ll make sure to casually turn toward them with a solid poker
face as my vehicle
passes them by at stop lights.
5. Rude jokes
People
like rude jokes, what an irony of society. When Stand-Up comics and random
people poke fun at others’ physical appearances, accents, or even races (which is disgusting!!!),
the audiences laugh and shed a tear. People find ‘sugarcoated’ body or slut shaming
delivered through jokes—hilarious. We think that it’s okay to turn someone into an object of ridicule as long as it’s a quip, but how do we know that they are okay? Who knows if they hurt inside? Try walking in their shoes before making those discourteous remarks, ask yourself how it’s gonna feel to be treated
the way they are. Or else, watch yourself getting a taste of your own medicine later.
6. Social leveling
Ugh,
I hate this the most. Just stop, can’t we? We’re all same, we’re equal, but
some people are acting like they’re on different level or class, what
the hell? We’re not living in post-classical era, this is fcking 21st century for God’s sake.
We should no longer be divided into castes. There are countries with conservative societies that still apply this system in daily life. But you know, even open-minded people in modern societies these days have created a new kind of social leveling with their terminology: “a wall you can’t climb over” and “(name) is definitely on different
class.” What wall? *eyerolls* Get off that high horse of yours, please.
So, what are your pet peeves?
