Writer's Block: Peevish
Jan. 27th, 2009 04:49 pm[Error: unknown template qotd] A few.
1. People who use "gay" or "retarded" as an insult - especially when it's in a context similar to "prejudice is so gay" or "stereotypes are so retarded" - which I've seen more than I'd like. I know I'm one of the few people who seems to find "retard" offensive, though.
2. Intolerance. And I'm not just saying that to be Miss America-like.
3. This is more of a self-peeve, but when I make jokes people don't get. I tend to try and be funny, and end up looking stupid. Like how today some girl told me she got her scarf in Barcelona, and I told her I should go there and get it... which I later realized sounded like I thought Barcelona was a store. *Facepalm* (Or maybe I'm just insecure.)
4. People who ask me what's going on during movies. Unless you're nine years old and just being a kid, WATCH THE MOVIE. (At the movie theater, anyway - I don't care if it's a DVD or VCR and I can just pause.) I've had movies I've been so excited to see completely ruined because the person I was with kept asking me questions the entire time.
