pet peeves

i'm not a complainer, in fact, i dont complain much.. give me more work and i'd just smile and say 'thanks' and treat it as a learning experience.. i guess the only person who hears me complain is jep, and from his perspective the word 'complain' might be putting it nicely, LOL! nagging aside (haha!) i'd like to just get these two pet peeves of mine out of my system:

a) people who have earphones/headphones on and yet have their music turned on so loud that you can hear what they're listening to.. i mean.. hello?! you're entitled to listen to whatever you want to listen to, but that doesnt mean i have to listen to it too! that's the reason why you're wearing an earphone, dummy! 

ugh.. sorry.. it just irritates me.. 

and im a bit concerned about them as well.. i mean, i'm not the one wearing the earphones and i know that the music is turned on so loud, what more with them? don't they realize how loud their music is? what about damaging their hearing? or is their hearing already damaged that they dont realize they have their music on so loud? 

bottomline: the reason you're wearing earphones is so you could listen to whatever you want to listen to and not bother other people.. sadly, the message is lost on other people more often than not (because they can't hear?! hehe).

b) cigarette smell. cigarettes, nasty lung-causing stick. ugh! im not a smoker, but jep is, and it irritates the hell out me. i wish he'd quit, i wish all smokers would quit the habit, but it's really all up to them. but my pet peeve is not just the cigarette itself, it's how the smell just clings to you.. irritating! like if you had the misfortune of having someone sit beside you on the bus that just reeks of cigarettes.. R-E-E-K-S!

*i guess the solution would be for me to get my own car and so not be bothered about it again, but unfortunately, that's still a long way to go and so i have to put up with this..*

hate might be a strong word, but i just hate the smell of cigarette smoke and how it just clings to you and your clothes! mega pet peeve! good thing that jep knows to stay away from me (as far away from me as possible), after he'd just smoked, otherwise he'd hear me "complain". hehe..

watch this clip i found.. i guess im a monica (gasp!) after all, because if i was right there when they were having their conversation, i would have been all 'go monica, go! tell it like it is!'.. 

well, i guess that concludes my rants for the day..
