Things that annoy me... hmmm.
-
This goody-two shoes girl in one of my classes, who always answers questions and states them like this: ''The capital of France is Paris Madame Blah Blah, and that is the correct answer.'' She always makes a big statement about it and looks so prim and pleased with herself, like she has just won the Nobell prize or something.
- The way my school's old vice-principal treated us like children. He would put an announcement on practically every minute of the six we have between classes, and say: ''Just a reminder to students that they should be proceeding to their Block A classes at this time, I repeat all students should be on their way to their Block A classes and not lingering in the halls.'' He would say it very slowly and in a very defined way like we were three-year-olds. Even one of my teachers commented that he treated us like children!
- Oh, and the way girls at my school turn up their nose at you if you eat something other than a juice box at lunch time.
- When guys joke about girls having their periods; it's not our fault, it's just something that happens. We don't joke about the things that happens to guys during adolescence!
- People who sing
terribly on one of those days when I'm just not in the mood for crap.
- When people ask me why I'm a vegetarian, I mean I'm okay if they ask me once, but when they persist it just gets annoying- I just don't eat animals, okay?! I also can
not stand it when people joke and say stuff like: ''This bacon is sooo good, I think Caitlin should try some!'', or ''Oh, don't put the spoon from the gravy into Caitlin's special pot of vegetarian soup!''. It gets old really fast what with me being the only vegetarian in my family.
- (I think this one deserves its own section) I really hate it when people try and force me to believe that being a vegetarian is silly and an unhealthy diet. I don't try and force my beliefs onto meat-eaters, why should meat-eaters try and force their beliefs on me? I don't normally argue about it, but when somebody clearly wants to have a debate about the pros and cons, I can put up an extremely good argument on my part. Or you know, when I'm in one of those moods I can just go off on someone who makes a little joke here or there.
