You know how everyone does a Pet Peeve post and it does really well. Well, I do too many of them. Not a list pet peeve post but just cribbing about the pet peeve I recently came across. So this week I didn’t have anything better to come up with so I did this. I am going to analyze my biggest pet peeve.
Yes, it annoys me completely when people recommend things to me and then when I try it out, it turns out to be really bad. Really, really crappy. I mean, it makes me think, why am I friends with that person who recommended this. I know, I sound like the crappiest friend right now but if you know me any better, you shouldn’t have told me to “Go check this out / Go eat at this place / Go visit this place / Listen to this song … totally cool, you will thank me”.
Really, I wouldn’t. And if you know me better, I might actually come back and tell you how much I hated it.
So, because it has been a tiring week, here is a list of what I think are the most overrated things around. Feel free to disagree, I mean after all, everyone is allowed an opinion!
- Coffee house : The big guns. I ain’t naming them but you must be smart enough to understand. Being the coffee lover, I did try out many flavours and I am sorry, some of them just really don’t make good coffee. I mean, why have so many branches, when you really don’t know how to make coffee. The smaller less known coffee houses are so much more better.
- Vampires: I don’t know what triggered it and I really don’t know why vampires are considered “attractive”. They actually suck your blood. Yes, they do. Why do people forget that? Whoever told me to read / watch Twilight is no longer my friend or my acquaintance.
- Staying up the whole night: When I was a kid, I always wanted to do it; when I was a teen, I did it just for the kicks; when in college, I was forced to do it for assignments and now when I have to do it to finish work, I actually look forward to days when I can go to bed at 9. Sadly,I might have to put that on my bucket list.
- Fashion: I just don’t get it. That is all.
- Self Help : Just too many books, too many websites, too many TV shows and just too much information. And nothing will actually “help”. Sometimes just going to the shrink is all you need. Yes, I am a shrink, does it show?
- Being a teen : Pimples, acne, heart breaks, silly decisions, sillier crushes, pressure to be the “it” girl / guy. Why does every want to be a teen. Being in the twenties is much more awesome.
- List of 100 most beautiful people : On a mean note, some of them don’t really qualify. And on a more thoughtful note, it is lists that this that make being a teen so difficult.
- Cool : As a compliment and as an adjective, it is too overrated and too overused.
- Normalcy : Whoever coined that term and whatever that means. It’s okay to be a little weird. As long as you are not getting into other peoples business.
- Twitter followers : Enough said.
And yes, I actually enjoyed doing this, so you might see more coming sometime.
What’s your take on the most overrated things around? Feel free to have an opinion. It is what, after all, will make you, well… YOU!
