habits of highly annoying people

you may have heard of the 10 (8...maybe 7...) habits of highly effective people. well, i don't know about you, but i seem to see a lot more habits of highly annoying people far more often. maybe i'm just a complete jackass, but i cannot help being completely confused by the behavior of some people. doesn't stop me hanging out with them (or in some cases, i am that person), it just befuddles me. here's a lil rant and rave:

#1: people who wear really tight pants to work out in (and really shouldn't).

it just looks terribly uncomfortable, and when your workout clothes are too tight they hold the sweat really close to your body. gross.

#2: people who wear jeans to work out in. chaffing much?

#3: leggings. dear world, leggings are not pants. please cover your crack. love lindsay.

#4: Ugg boots and shorts. how in the world does this fashion make any sense? either it's so warm that your feet will be sweaty or it's so cold that your knees will freeze. seriously, who thought of the brilliant idea to wear sheep's wool on your feet, yet let the air touch your legs? and does any man think that's attractive? doubtful.

#5: 1/2way up the calf tube socks with shorts: a staple of middle-aged men everywhere.

#6: strangers who call me "hon" or "sweetie" or "doll." i seem to get this a lot at restaurants and when i'm running. it makes me wish i had a frying pan like in tangled. if i do not even know your name, it's not appropriate for you have a pet-name for me. this is especially true of:

• waiters
• old men
• construction workers
• manly ladies
• the checkout guy at walgreens

#7: people who look attractive when they work out. you're either a: not actually working out hard enough or b: partially inhuman. 

#8: people who try to make themselves look smarter than you. if you have to try so hard, you've just proven you're not that smart.

#9: people who think artists like justin bieber and rebecca black are comparable to a: NSYNC or worse, b: U2. nsync had 3 successful albums, in none of which did they repeat the words "baby" or "friday" 30 times without other lyrics in between. sure, they were a cookie-cutter boy-band, and i will whole-heartedly admit that they were not the most talented band in the world. but they definitely had some a-capella skills.

And as far as U2 is concerned, i can't even believe i had the argument that justin bieber and rebecca black could even be in the same category of music with them. u2 is simply one of the most talented musical groups of all time. the bieb doesn't even have a chance:

#10: people who don't watch their children in public. their children could be stealing from the cash register, peeing in a corner, being abducted by a hooded figure, or any number of other things, and they would just be shopping away, chatting on their phone. dear world, if you have children, they are your responsibility. they are not puppies that wander around and come back. they are not chia pets that you can water them and leave them alone. they are human beings and it's your job to raise them.

well that's about all for now. what are the things that get underneath your skin??
