10. People who don't know the difference
-...between YOUR, YOU'RE, THEY'RE, THERE, & THEIR. If you still cant decipher this, goodbye!
09. False window display advertising
- If I see a jacket on a mannequin in front of a store window, I expect to try one on, and NO... the exact jacket on the mannequin does NOT count. If it's not for sale in your store in a large quantity with an assortment of sizes, don't advertise it. Moreover, don't put accessories in your damn mannequin's like watches or necklaces that aren't even the same brand as your store just because it adds a nice "touch".
08. Chain text messages
- I thought email was bad but text messages are worse. I really can't bear to read another text stating "Jesus died for you on the cross, send this to ten friends to know that you care for them. I better get this back." Ok, seriously?!! I attended both Catholic and Sunday school, I know the stories and teachings in the Bible. I don't need a reminder from a text message encrypted in a message which pretty much sums up to "If you're my real friend, you'll waste ten seconds of your time and forward this back to me". I don't think so. Delete!
07. Overused words like "epic" and "fail" used by dumb scene-y teens
- The only thing I'll be using EPIC for is seeing COLDPLAY live on stage and the only FAIL that counts are on exams and quizzes.
06. After Thanksgiving shopping aka Black Friday
- I really don't understand this. Millions of Americans line up in front of Wal-Mart eager to get their hands on a generic brand portable DVD player ONLY because it's cheap. You DO NOT freakin' need it! People say "Oh, it's cheap, let's get it. We can give it to Cousin Jimmy for Christmas." With your stupid luck you'll most likely end up with one of those as a Christmas present from cousin Jimmy himself. Also I know you can find great deals on Black Friday but it's just frivolous spending! Buying items simply BECAUSE they're cheap is ridiculous. If you weren't gonna buy it in the first place, don't buy it because it's 20% off. What a fool!
05. Hypocrites
- + Example 1: People who claim to be all into their religion but only choose to follow certain aspects of it and judge those who don't follow. Wake up! You follow one belief but not follow the other, it's just as bad. Case in point, people who attend mass every single solitary Sunday of their life because it's what you're "supposed" to do but have engaged in sexual intercourse prior to marriage. Uhh yea, that's a big rule you missed there. Point is, that it doesn't make you a better person for going to church weekly when you've already broken a sacred vow.
+ Example 2: "Ewww, look at those sluts dancing on that stage." An hour later you're on that stage looking even more slutty and more drunk. Loser.
+ Example 3: People who LOVE animals and can't bear to watch them get killed but they eat meat anyway, have a leather car interior, and wear alligator handbags. This is probably the most hypocritical of all. So you'd eat meat but you'd collect cow figurines because they're cute or some random shit like that when a part of their body is inside your mouth as you chew on your steak. I don't think so.
04. Ed Hardy Designs
- Seriously, look at them. The shirts, hoodies, bags, shoes, etc.. It's a cluttered piece of shit filled with roses and leaves wrapped around animal heads wearing crowns with words like "kills" & "loves" that's topped off with skulls and crossbones surrounded by hearts and flames. Seriously?!!! It looks like a trashy tattoo done during a random drunk night because your friend dared you to.
03. Skinny Jeans
- Guys who wear skinny jeans need to look at themselves in the mirror: those that ARE actually skinny enough to wear them - you look like girls with anorexic legs and those that weigh a little MORE - need a reality check because i bet it's cutting off your balls' circulation.
02. Television
- I'm all for watching DVDs but what I'm talking about is TV programming in general. If you walk into most peoples homes, it's always ON! People go downstairs and they turn it on, they have a guest in the house and they turn it on! It's like people CAN'T be entertained without having a TV on. I don't know if it's any kind of noise that they need but it seems like people watch TV because it prevents them from listening to silence. And don't give me that crap about watching the news because I know you don't really watch it, and HELLO, it's called a newspaper or the internet. TV is also an electronic babysitter that you can put your children in front of to get their brain cells sucked out of. I know this first hand because that's how I feel whenever I'm in someone's house with cable.
01. That 'scarf'
- If you can even call it a scarf. The number one trend I totally hate are those scarves everyone wears around their neck with little bits of tassely-fringy ripped shit on the bottom that's wrapped and tied around multiple times around the neck but doesn't even actually TOUCH any part of the neck but the back because it's slightly drooped by the neck line. It doesn't keep you warm, they're ugly, and while you're wearing one: look around, I bet all your friends have one on. Conformity is a bitch but you're part of it. Congratulations!
