In no particular order .. these are some of things that get my goat
1/ Change rooms. I rarely try things on and then get them home and bitch and moan if they don't fit right. Yes, I have been one of the many people who have had overly keen sales people walk in when I have been at various stages of undress. The most awkward being in a lingerie shop when an enthusiatic lady (who seriously needed hand lotion) walked in and started manually adjusting the "girls". Yes I understand the whole bra fitting procedure BUT there is such a thing as too much attention too detail there lady!
2/ Spitting in public...ewww. Nothing worse than seeing a dapping young fellow in a suit walking along a main street in front of you and hoicking up a good one. Just ewww.
3/ Reality TV stars receiving more accolades in the media than the "real" news. I like a bit of goss as much as the next girl HOWEVER hearing about how someone was ridiculous enough to breed with Snooki from Jersey Shore is in no way more important to how our State government is once again screwing up our Employment and our LGBT, Arts and Essential Healthcare Communities. (I capitalised because they are important)
4/ Judging people by how they look. I know so many people say it but how many people actually practice what they preach? I know I can and I hate myself for it when it happens! The amount of people that have presumed I am stupid because I have a few too many love handles is beyond counting. I have actually caught people start to talk slower when they speak to me just in case I don't understand.
5/ How books like "50 Shades of Grey" and "Twilight" can become bestsellers when there are so many talented actual writers out there who are struggling to make a living. How can you make these no talent hacks millionaires people?! The same can be said for music. Who the hell gave Nikki Myvag (Minaj or whatever it is) a record deal??
6/ Public Transport.. it gives me anxiety attacks even thinking about having to take a bus somewhere. It's that whole relying on someone else to get me where I need to be on time thing. Same goes for taxis and planes. Flying is scary enough without worrying about delays. I need to be in the airport at least an hour and a half before the plane takes off for a domestic flight. I can imagine when I finally go overseas I will be pitching a tent three days out to make sure I don't miss it!
7/ Writing texts or sending letters, emails or leaving voicemail that involves a question and not hearing back. As much as I hate one worded text replies like "K" it is preferable to nothing. It is a common courtesy!
8/ Grocery shopping. I seriously feel like I am going into battle every time I head out to do the regular shop. Whether it is people who clearly need a licence to drive a shopping trolley, parents who let their kids run around screaming up and down the aisles, the mad rush to get to the checkout with the smallest line up or customers who abuse the 10 items or less lines..it makes me understand the need for Xanax in our lifetime.
9/ Unrealistic expectations in a relationship. No one is perfect! If I am dating you I expect there are going to little things about you that aren't exactly how Walt Disney told me it was going to be when I was little girl. So you are a little chubby around the middle? don't care! So you like to watch more sport than is naturally possible? don't care! so you don't mind listening to a bit of Justin Beiber now and then? I am concerned for your taste levels.. but don't care! BUT you spit in public? sorry that is just ewww!
10/ Number Ten..... Bananas... I really hate bananas!
