<b>This week's PET PEEVES</b>
These are predominantly work-based because I don't really like my current job.
1. when you nochalantly say, "oh i'm a vegetarian. i don't eat meat" because you've just been offered meat, or you're at dinner and not ordering meat, does some wisearsecrackpot want to know every single detail about WHY you turned vegetarian, how long you've been vegetarian, what is a vegetarian, a history of what you do eat/ don't eat, their opinion on what you do/ don't eat, their opinion on what you should/shouldn't eat and why, leading to them wanting to know WHY you'd actually bother to be a vegetarian in the first place.
when you've been vegetarian for close on ten years, it becomes VERY boring, very quickly. I DO NOT WANT TO BE ASKED THESE QUESTIONS EVERY SINGLE TIME I MEET A NEW PERSON AND/OR AM EATING AROUND THEM. because that's pretty much every single damn day. LEAVE ME ALONE.
i would love it, if one day someone asked me why i wasn't eating meat and i said, "because i'm vegetarian", they simply answered with the words, "oh you're vegetarian? cool" and then, SILENCE. that would be fucking bliss!
2. Being perved on by men old enough to be my father, who actually think they might stand a chance with me. Look I know you like to have your little fantasies. go ahead. but please don't think for a second that you stand a chance of getting into bed with me, when you're older than my dad, and your youngest daughter is four years older than me. women my age are generally interested in men your age because they are blinded by this thing called money, that you supposedly have. i'm not impressed by money and therefore you have no chance whatsoever of ever getting into bed with me. so you may as well stop having an opinion on my sweet arse every five minutes, because you're never going to get the goodies, old man.
3. Shallow fuckers that turn round and say things like, "you're not my type". "and you say, "okay so what's your type?" and then say, "Oh i like trophy girls." and you say, "wow. i actually thought you were a cool person before that came out of your pretty little mouth." everyone in the room, gasps.
4. When you've told a guy you are not interested (in no uncertain terms) and they continue on at you, like you're ever going to change your mind.
5. When you tell a guy you don't want to have sex with him, or anything to happen between you, and he tries to put his hands down your pants. and it gets so heated (because your bitching at him for having no respect for you) that you end up stopping the car, kicking him out of it and then leaving him at the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, before feeling guilty and picking the guy back up. because he's four miles from home and it's 1am. and even though someone you know just sexually assaulted you, you still think you're too much of a good person to leave them in the middle of nowhere.
6. When you know a couple who are really happy and in love, and you're so jealous of their relationship. and one day, the guy gets drunk (who you've known since you were thirteen because he was your sister's first boyfriend) and tries to have sex with you. (the pro of this is that you get drinks bought for you, forevermore for keeping your mouth shut).
7. When your working in a bar, and some guy grab's your arse or acts "inappropriately" to you, and then they wonder why they get a pint thrown over their head, and screamed at. just because you work in a bar does not make you public property, y'know!
8. When one of your friends is going on about how much she likes a guy, that you know is an arsehole and you can't tell her because she's so into him. he then acts like a douche to her, because he is a douche and you can't even tell her then because she continues to go back there. oh, and he's shagging some other girl and she won't believe you.
9. When your best friend gets upset because you won't have sex with him. that's why he's your best friend and not your boyfriend, dur.
10. people who have an opinion on everything, every second of every day, and they think they're always right and won't even listen to anyone else's opinions even if the person is just "sharing" and not trying to change their opinion on anything, because it doesn't match their own. if you want to share your own opinion (some people like me, don't always) then you should be willing to hear someone else's opinion even if it's not the same as yours.
I think I'm done. I'm in a bad mood today. I am shitting bricks because I got a new job (type thing) starting this week, and I'm panicking because I have no idea whatsoever of what I am actually doing.

On the other hand, I don't meet very many new people,
The few that ask, I just say something like "It's for personal reasons", and they pretty much accept that..
