Blaming others for their own made mistake

Every person in this world behaves according to his/her personality, their thinking level, etc. Sometimes it bugs others, when they try to reveal themselves and do awkward behaviors which they like to do, but others not. Taking before asking, no signal on lane changing, swearing at public places/roads are some of them. Blaming others for their own made mistake irks even more. Last Wednesday, while coming from a pizza shop at McPhilips Street, a SUV driver cuts into our lane without checking his shoulder and without signaling his intention. My brother applies brakes very hard and our car was almost about to hit. Thank God that it stopped with two- three inches of distance from that SUV. What he did after that was so annoying. He starts swearing and threw water bottles at our car and then he blocked his own lane. I was thinking to get off the car and knock him down on the road. But we did nothing like that because if we started swearing back to him, what would be the difference between him and us. People are engaged in this behavioiur when they don't worry about rules and regulations in the society, when they try to show that they know better than others, when try to show that they are always perfect, there is no chance that they can make a mistake. They could be aware of their behavior, but not all of them who are engaged in this behavior. This kind of behavior happens when someone gets nervous after making a mistake in front of the public. May be when people of rich class society blames middle class person because they don't want to get disrespect in the society (to maintain their status). May be as said above that they think, they are always perfect, there is no chance they can make mistake. First of all, people should live a simple life. A simple person is way more richer than a fashionable person. Most of the people's behavior bugs others when they try to do fashion. A simple person has high level of thinking and have good manners. Second, they have to understand that no one is perfect in this world. When they think opposite to this, they get engaged in this behavior, which really annoys others.

When you start a story Finnish it ! and not with never mind

Pet peeves. Don't get me started! I know we all have them, we could go on and on about our pet peeves,but the truth is know one wants to listen because the have a million of there own pet peeves
Well,they say if you have know one to talk to or listen to you,write your problems down and get them of your chest.so..... Here goes nothing. I'm sure each one of us has come upon my particular pet peeve at least once in there lives I'd even bet on it ! if I was a betting person. Oh just thinking about this pet peeve  gets my blood boiling. You know when someone comes up to you all excited to tell you something ? The start to saying something like " you wouldn't believe what so and so said today!"
Then the get you intrigued and excited and then say "never mind " there you are left wondering, and the not knowing is killing you! For instance, when your friend penrose says she Hurd say something about you and she decides not to tell you who it was , and what they said for 4 days ! A whole four days! Do you know hard that's. You can't think of anything else. Or when your mom says she has a birthday present for you. You say what is it an she says she can't tell you because it's not your birthday.so not matter what you do she won't tell you.arrrrrgh! I can't tell you how much this gets to me! Who ever is reading this ,and you know who you are, you know you have had this experience. I know you reaction is similar, if not the same as mine.it is totally infuriating. No question about it.
I have often wondered why people do this to others. I don't know maybe I have been guilty of this in the past, I don't remember. ( convenient memory loss) maybe they decide that you would better off not knowing,or maybe they are remember they promised not to tell you.anyway, what ever the reason the results are still the same. Until you know what they are going to say, until you know what you are going to say, you can not and should not be at ease. You need to know and cannot concentrate on what you are supposed to concentrating on . Which can get you in all kinds of trouble, but thats another subject. I guess I must conclude, that there will always be pet peeves and people and things that drive you absolutely stark raving mad! And if any of my friends are reading this I would like to kindly ask, not demand , that they refrain from this annoying ,infuriating practice! If you have something to tell me, TELL ME! If you are not supposed to tell me or you think you shouldn't tell me 
Think before you start telling me and don't tell me! Wow it feels good to get this off my chest : and that was only one of my pet peeves. Imagine how much I could write if I told you about my other ones. Shell I'm not gonna have a pity party. I just tell it like it is and get on with life! So here I go.....

Smokers

Last year was walking with my friends, we came across a group of guys smoking cigarettes. They offered us cigarettes saying that it is good and addictive. Yes, we already know that it is addictive but saying that it is good? I don't think so. We manage to get away from the smokers but the smell of the cigar smoke is still stuck a my nose. When I was about 6 years old, I had a history of tuberculosis. Everyday of my life at that time was hard. I was coughing every time. Why do people smoke anyways knowing that it doesn't do any good to them? Do they really like flirting with death? Do they think that it makes them cool? There really has to be a reason why "adults" go to the store buy a pack of cigarettes, extract one and lit it up. Speaking of smoking: It takes 4 years to make a full recovery when your addicted to smoking. In that 4 years, you will be in and out of the hospital. Taking x-rays of your lungs and making sure that you're not smoking anymore. In the process of trying to make a recovery from smoking you will be struggling not to smoke the "stick of death" that you're addicted to. Smoking is absolutley pointless and doesn't do anything to you. The government should just ban smoking because it doesn't only affects the user,it affects everyone around him/her too.

Hipsters and the World Through my Eyes

Every decade and time frame has had their standard of what is considered cool. For instance, the 70's owned bell bottom jeans and leather jackets while the 90's produced the punk and grunge scene. Sadly, I personally distaste what my generation (90's children) has decided is cool. The 2000's have severly made me lose hope in humanity for the most part because of "hipsters".
A hipster, as they are called, is an individual who can be widely familiarized with sagging pants, SnapBack hats, and in most cases, blairs their music for everyone to hear. These are all the pet leaves rolled into one person in my opinion. Today's hipsters have really brought on an unwanted fashion in today's which can be summed up in one word;Stupid!
Breaking it down we can see that no one ever wants to see another person's underwear WHILE they're wearing pants. Other annoyances about dress code can be described as wannabe LA gang scene gone really sour. Simply, the solution is to dress like a civilized human being and be yourself and not what 50 cent looked like on his new album cover.
Sadly, this is not the biggest problem. The mindset and dialog of these people is the real head-turner. About a few days ago, I was walking through the hallways of school by a group of these self proclaimed "hipsters". As I made my approach, the boys in saggy pants and flat brimmed hats very openly and vulgarly explained how he had so much "swag" that he can get girls as if he were referring women as a sport's trophy. It seems as if treating girls like an inanimate object prize is ok, especially when there's more than one "trophy" being won at a time. It's not only degrading to the multiple girls but also to yourself making you look like (for lack of a better word) and idiot.
I also find funny how they like to be rude and pick on others because they're not as cool as them.All I can say to that, and the story about the girls, is to treat everyone the way you wish to be treated. If you treat people as if they aren't worth the time of day, expect the same from me and don't seem surprised either.
So next time you think about dressing like jailbait and putting people down for no apparent reason, just remember that no one likes it and it'll embarrass you more than the people around you. So pick up your pants and learn some manners and respect for people!!!

People That Smoke Inside Bus Stop Sheds

If you take the bus to school or going home from school you’ll probably have a higher chance of experiencing this. I’m talking about people who smoke inside the bus stop sheds. If you have experienced this before, you would know that it is not only annoying but it is also bad for your health. I remember when I learned in school that the people around the person who smokes, when they inhale this smoke it would have a worst effect on you rather than the person smoking himself. So imagine how small the waiting sheds on the bus stops are, then add a person smoking a cigarette inside of that shed. Every time that person exhales you see that shed slowly filling up with smoke from the cigarette. Then now add a few people inside the shed who could not do anything about it. If you were inside that shed what would you feel, some people would say that just try to avoid them and don’t go inside the shed. Yes that is one of the things that you could do but what if it was -25 outside and the wind outside was blowing like crazy and you are freezing and it would feel a lot better if you go inside the waiting shed, but there is a person smoking inside but you have to just go with it because you would freeze if you stay outside.

​One thing that we could do is talk or tell the person to stop smoking. Some people would stop, but some would probably just ignore you or give you a dirty look. Others will think you’re rude no matter how polite you say it. You will probably hear them tell you to mind your own business. The sad thing is the person who does this the most are the elders who are in working age. If you think about it they are the ones who are suppose to be our role models, but instead they are giving us the idea to smoke. No wonder every year more and more people at such a young age.

So next time you encounter these kind of people just try to avoid them. And when you really just have to tell them just man up and say it right in their place and show them the sign on the glass sides of the waiting shed. But don’t be rude and never swear or say anything personal because not only you would cause trouble for yourself but you can also get others involved, just ask them as nice/ kind as possible even though your blood is boiling inside.

One thing that I also hate from my personal experiences, this happened several times during the winter time. These people would smoke outside the shed which was good news but the thing I hate is that when they take their last puff of their cigarette they go inside the waiting shed but they sometimes blow the smoke inside the waiting shed or sometimes they blow it while facing the waiting shed and while coming towards it. So the people inside the waiting shed will also start smelling like smoke. The bad thing to is the smell of the smoke stays inside the waiting shed for quite awhile and the clothes of the people inside start smelling like cigarettes too.

So I am encouraging everyone to not smoke and also encourage your friends to not smoke and if they already, try to make them stop or quit smoking. Not only is smoking bad for you and your body but you are also affecting other people’s health. Also if you have parents or siblings that smoke educate them about the bad effects of smoking so that hopefully they would stop doing it. I consider myself very lucky because I don’t have any siblings and my parents also does not smoke which is very good because I thought to myself that if my parents made it through life without smoking then why should I. So reject if anyone is offering you a smoke. And they should make a rule that you can’t smoke inside school property and you will be fined if you get caught.

The Double Standard

I try to not let many things get to me, but one huge thing that really gets under my skin is the Double Standard between Men and Women. Since the beginning of time men have always acted superior over women, and no matter how much women change, the double standard is always maintained. It feels like we are back in the Medieval Times when men tell women to "get back in the kitchen". This state of mind is offensive, ignorant and so widely used that it is crazy.
I was talking to a good friend of mine, who happens to be a boy. Now he has not had the best past with relationships, in other words he is very promiscuous. I found it extremely surprising that he was bad mouthing a girl who is equally as promiscuous as he is. If he had the right to act promiscuous so did the other girl, but in his words "her behavior was disgusting". It's like the lock and key analogy, the lock being the girl and the key being the boy. The lock is considered a bad lock if multiple keys try and fail to open it, however the key is considered good if it opens multiple locks. Any girl has the right to act the same way a guy does, and a guy should be judged in the same way a girl is.
I personally have tried to convince guys of this, but they just do not seem to listen. Usually what happens is that I explain that women and men are both equals and should be judged as such. What usually is the response is that women are not in the same level as men, therefore, they get treated differently in certain situations. Other times I don't even bother to say a thing because I know that all that will happen is a huge fight and the men will usually get very defensive. It is very hard to try and explain this situation to people (men) when their thoughts are from the 1950's and not present day.
I feel that some men engage in this behavior just to make their actions justifiable. They want an excuse tonact a certain way and get away with it. They do not want any competition or anything to stop them. I honestly feel that the people who contribute to this double standard do not even think of the people it effects. Lie my friend, since it is not him being judged he doesn't care. However since he is not treated unfairly, it does not occur to him the consequences of his words. It is an old way of thinking that seem to never go away.
The double standard definitely comes from the past where women were constantly treated unequally. This attitude towards women has had to been passed down from parents to kids. Now that women are becoming more and more equal to me this attitude should be different. Sadly it is not. The obvious way that people can stop this double standard is to either live through it, somehow be effect by it, or by actually understanding the situation rather than brushing it under the rug. Society has come a long way from it's ancient thoughts, so the next step Should definitely be to get over this double standard. It is not cool to degrade women, it is ignorant, so stop.

People Who Smoke

People who smoke really irritate me because for one they polute the world and two nobody wants to smell that nasty smoke that can do damage to you because second hand smoking is worse then actually smoking itself. People who smoke are just throwing there lives away because some of them would rather smoke then eat.

I went to a store with my friends mom and she only had 15 dollars so instead of buying food for the house she bought cigarettes for herself. Another time we were watching T.V. and one of those commercials explaining how smoking is bad for you, then she started freaking out saying that it's not bad for you at all. I have never addressed Her because she isn't my mom and I'm not over there enough to say anything. I'm assuming she started smoking when she was in school because of the whole peer pressure and her friends saying "try it it's cool" but I'm not sure, I'm pretty sure she's aware that it bothers other people but I think she just doesn't care.

It's not so much a behavior it's just people do it and they feel the need to do it like an addiction. Well some of them try to quit and some of them actually do quit,as others don't think theres anything wrong with smoking

Some people are really rude while there smoking. I mean are you really to lazy to through you're butts in the garbage, sometimes when they haven't had a smoke in awhile they get really angrey and cranky so they hurt the ones they love.

now adays people start smoking at a really young age and continue for many years which makes it harder to quit later on down the road. Smoking kills a bunch of people every year and the people who smoke don't seem to carethey just keep on smoking like it wont kill them, but it can happen nobody can avoid it and thats what bugs me the most about people who smoke because so many of them have died and will die from smoking. My opinion about smoking is that it's nasty and disgusting and if u smoke i don't want you near me because i dont want to smell you.Please don't start smoking and if you already do then please stop.
