Face Your Problems, Don't Facebook Your Problems!

You know what bugs me? People that facebook all their problems. It really irks me because your blowing up my news feed about whats bothering you in your life and im sure, all your friends on that site don't really care. It takes place on facebook where there always is a couple people that start drama over the site or makes a new status every couple minutes about their life and what's going on. I have not directly talked to someone about posting all their stuff onto this site. But i have made a status saying ' Face your problems, Don't facebook your problems '. And i happened to get a lot of " likes ". People engage in this behavior because facebook is a site where you can post anything, but they their problems. Maybe they do this to seek others attention a way to stop this behavior could be talking to a close friend or a parent, or anyone that are close to them. So the whole world dosen't need to know your life and the problems in it.

Bad Driving Habits

Driving is a very useful thing. You can get around the city without much of a problem. You don’t have to go and wait for buses or wait for a taxi to pick you up if you have your own vehicle to drive.

I have been driving for almost a year. In the past 11 months. I saw a lot bad driving habits from other drivers and that annoys me. One of these habits is when someone just doesn’t signal when they’re going to change lanes or make a turn. It isn’t hard at all; you flick the bar in the left side and flick it back when you finish changing lanes.

A few months back, I was going to church with my family and I was the driver. Someone in the other lane was trying to make a turn and it was pretty busy. As I was driving, some guy just changed lanes without signalling and I was pretty close to hitting him. I’m like “What the s***?” in my head. I remember the guy driving was a talking on a cellphone too. Changing lanes without signalling is a habit that just really bugs me. It is a habit that can be prevented easily. You just flick the bar whichever direction you’re going, left or right. You shoulder check, check your side-view mirror and then change lanes when safe. It’s that simple, just turn it back off when you finish.

Another habit that bugs me is when there’s a red light and the car behind decides it would be a good idea to tailgate me. Like seriously, do they really have to do that? They can just stay still for a minute or two. They don’t need to bring their car that close. They can just wait for the green light then they can move.

When someone drive like they’re on a highway when they’re really on a residential area. That just annoys me because that it isn’t safe at all. You’re not in a highway; you’re in a residential area. You’re supposed to drive under 50km/h, not 80 or 90. This is a habit that you can easily prevent from doing.

There are a lot of reasons why people develops these habits. It’s possible that they get used to it when they drive and there isn’t much cars around. It can be just that they get impatient. These people might not even be aware that others get irritated by their habits.

Chasing the light, driving too slow, driving too fast, there are so much bad driving habits out there and pretty much all of them can be prevented. Driving is very useful but sometimes there’s this group of people that just have these irritating habits. So do you have one of these habits?

Waiting..

What really irks me is when people tell me to wait… over and over again. They act as if I have all the time in the world or as if I have nothing to do. To top it off, it really irritates me when that person apologizes and they yet do it again.

I have encountered this behaviour a countless number of times in my life. It seems as if it will never come to an end. Friends, Family, Teachers, you name it, everybody does it. A lot of people take this over the top especially over the phone. Usually that person tells me to wait for two seconds and 5 minutes later they come back saying

"Yo, can you hold on for two more seconds?"

Now, I’m a person who has patience and being the person I am, I always end up waiting another "two seconds". I understand there are times when things do come up but if they know it might take a little longer, I don’t see why it is so hard to let the other know how long they will take. Beside I don't like taking all that radiation to my brain!

It doesn't just happen over the phone, but in person as well. Most of the times i need a ride home afterschool. My mom usually calls me and tells me to come outside and she tells she'll be there in two seconds. I usually end up standing in the cold for much longer than the duration of the call.

No matter what I say, how many times I say it, people continue doing the same thing. I really don’t think people realize they do this at all, but some actually do, thankfully.

I do have patience, I’m a very patient guy buy it’s something I cannot stand. I’m sure nobody likes to wait at all but this constant waiting, I’m just annoying. If I did this to the people that constantly make me wait, I’m sure it would bother them just as much. Also it would change their perspectives and have a little more courtesy.

borrowing or taking?

I am usually a kind, and generous girl. I share my food to my friends, my pencils, loose leaf, notes...and all that jazz. Some people seem to take it for granted though. People think that just because I'm nice and would let them borrow anything, it's okay to just take it without even asking. May it be food, my notes, my shirt or whatever!


I have this friend who is really lazy in class but she says she doesn't want to fail. She would usually ask for my notes a day before the test and says she would give it back by the end of the day. Of course, the good friend I am, I say yes but eventually people snap at one point.


I have a Biology test tomorrow so I tried to complete my notes in class. I leave for 5 minutes to go to the washroom and I left all my stuff on my desk. When i got back, I saw that everyone was getting ready to leave because class was almost over. I packed my stuff and left the classroom along with my classmates. Everything was all good until I got home and checked my binder. I was going to study for my Bio test but guess what? My notes weren't there! I tried looking for it in my bag, I checked my binder from cover to cover but unfortunately, it wasn't there. I wasn't sure if I just lost it or if someone took it without asking. Obviously, I didn't get to study at all. The next day, I saw my friend by her locker and asked if she studied for our test. "Yeah i did! I forgot to give back your notes though, here you go." she replied. I asked her when and where she got it because I totally don't remember giving it to her. "You left for the washroom and I figured you'd say yes anyways!". By that point, I didn't even wanna talk anymore. I might start cursing or saying mean things about her. I just took my notes and said "thanks" while I was walking away.


Why do people do this? i don't know either. People have to realize that taking other people's stuff is really rude and everyone gets fed up eventually. We should all be sensitive enough to think about what the owner would feel if we just did that to them. Imagine it happened to you. Wouldn't you get mad too? Now I learned to say no sometimes and think about myself before anyone else. I mean, you're the one who needs it, the least you could do is ASK! ☺

SHUT YOUR MOUTH!

SHUT YOUR MOUTH!

     Well we all have to eat but some people just need a reminder of how to eat. It’s like they have forgotten how to eat, so they munch away at food like two year olds. What I’m talking about is when people just can’t seem to shut their mouth shut while they eat!

     You’re done work or you’re heading home from school and you are really hungry so you go to your favorite pizza place. Alright so you got your pizza you sit down then it hits you, some guy just sitting there, has his mouth wide open. Still having pizza in his mouth, he goes in for another bite. Then you see it having his half chewed food all mixed up with spit in a lump inside his mouth. There you have it you can see the food in his mouth, you can hear the saliva mixing in with the food, you feel like going up to him and just giving him a piece of your mind.

     When you see this person you just want to go up to him and ask him to please close their mouth while they have food in their mouth. You really do want to go up to the person and ask them to please close their mouth while the food is in their mouth. You really do want to go up to the person but you just can’t do that, because some people out there will find that very insensitive. One time I came across this one obscenely loud person chewing. I walked up to him hoping he won’t go berserk on me. I ask him “could you please chew with your mouth closed?” I got an answer that made me feel like asking what has the world come to? His answer was “I have braces and can’t eat with my mouth closed, now go away and mind your own business”. After that encounter I haven’t said anything, because it feels like I’m going to get another smart mouthed answer that makes no sense at all….

     I don’t get why some people think its ok to chew with their mouths wide open when they eat. They just don’t get how annoying it is to have to see half chewed food in someone else’s mouth. Even some parents I I’ve seen chewing and talking with food in their mouths, so I guess that’s what starts this annoying habit, their parents. If these people don’t see how annoying this habit is and don’t stop this will keep on getting passed down to their kids and so on. I guess people just need to see this, this oh so annoying habit before they realize that it is very bothersome to the general public. I don’t care if you do this in your own home just be courteous and don’t show us your half chewed up food, Thanks!!! 

People That Smell like DEATH !

Some people really need to learn how to cover up their terrible smelling bodies. i think that it is just wrong for people to be able to show up in public places and be around other people while they smell like a pile of dying animals.

I was out on the weekend with a few friends and having quite a fine day, laughing, talking, waiting for the bus. Soon after, the bus arrives and it is packed with people so we are forced to be seated at the back. The second that we reach the back of the bus and take a seat, we are all suddenly being overwhelmed with a toxic cloud of putrid smelling body odor... yet we have no idea who, or what, this smell is actually coming from. This smell is terrible and it fills the air around you.

After about half an hour of sitting on the bus in a cloud of death, the bus clears out and there is only us and a few other people on the bus. Five people sat at the front and one person was in the far back of the bus sitting across from us, he is asleep. "My god," I say. "He smells terrible." After being on the bus for over two hours, we finally arrive at our destination and hop off the bus. I gasp or the fresh air and it is wonderful. We are all smiling in relief.

I wasn't able to confront this terrible smelling person that was sitting across from me on the bus. First of all, I didn't want to go anywhere near him because I already thought I was going to die from his smell sitting across from him. There was no way that I'd be moving any closer to him just to tell him that he shouldn't be out in public smelling the way he was. He was also asleep.

I think that whomever this foul smelling person was had a serious problem with themselves. There was no way that they had any idea that they smelled the way they did otherwise they wouldn't be outside, unless that person was just completely careless about their body. Because I know that if I had any idea that I smelled that way, I would never go in public. I don't exactly know why they smelled so bad, perhaps they didn't have enough time in the morning to take small care for their personal hygiene.

Although, there really is a simple solution to this persons problem, which would be to use deodorant. Or at least take a shower! It's embarrassing for themselves and others to be out and about near other people smelling that way. I don't understand why some people can't tell that they smell bad. They obviously are not aware of their stench.

Facebook Addictions

When I first made a Facebook account, it seemed really exciting. I had the ability to talk to anyone, message anyone and post any pictures I wanted others to see. These were a lot of privileges for a 6th grader! Then as the years went on, more and more people created Facebook accounts and soon enough it became a trend.

Having a Facebook account was a must. Not only teenagers, but younger kids were making Facebook accounts as well. It became a part of their everyday life. That’s when people lost control and crossed the limit of their own personal privacy. “Going to a party”, “@ McDonalds” or “Sleep over tonight” became common posts by users. I could exactly pin point what a person was doing, when they were doing it, where they were and who they were with. That was just too much information for me; it started to get annoying after a while. No one cares if you’re “tired”, “lazy”, and “hungry” or have just gotten into a relationship with someone. Facebook is not a journal or diary, it’s very open. As much as you try to hide your profile or turn security functions on, your information is still not as safe as you may believe it is. You’re literally giving stalkers an open invitation to come find you! Keep your personal thoughts to yourself.

Facebook is a very helpful site, it keeps us connected and up to date in what goes on. That’s its downfall too. Too much information can be regretful, be careful of what you post and say on the internet. Facebook often becomes the first priority of people’s lives. Instead of checking the newspaper or turning the morning news on, people go and log on to Facebook to find out “other” news. When I say “other”, I’m referring to news that is of no importance at all.

Keep your social life safe; make sure it doesn’t turn into a virtual joke.
