Pet Peeves Part 2

A long time ago, I wrote a piece about pet peeves. Since there were only a few people reading back then, I thought I would do an update of that post. If you see yourself in this list, don't kook out. It doesn't mean that I don't like you. These are just some things that get on my nerves and it's all in fun.

People that play the victim when they are the responsible party - I can't stand when people throw themselves a pity party about some shit that they did. It's one thing to not take responsibility, but it's even worse when they get all woe is me about that shit.

MySpace Spelling - eye fckn h8 dat sht. go 2 skool an lurn how 2 spll.

Internet Rumors - Its crazy to me how people say they heard this or that, but can't ever produce the evidence. I was told today that Kanye West came out of the closet and the story was on MTV News. I knew that wasn't true, but the "prove a nigga wrong" in me had to go to the website, just to show them that was bs. Now I ain't saying Kanye ain't the gay rapper, but the fake internet rumors are my pet peeve.

Sausage Parties - You know what these are right? This is when you are at a spot and there are nothing but men there. Collipark, if you are still reading, I'm gonna need you to invite some women over for Sunday. I don't care where you get them from, but I need some estrogen at the cookout. LOL

Using the bathroom on the phone - Maybe I'm OCD, but I don't like hearing other people's urine. There are some things I just don't have to be a part of. I could be in the middle of a conversation and all of a sudden hear some trickling, followed by the sound of a toilet flushing. I hate that. I don't know why it bothers me so much, but it just feels dirty. Not the good kinda dirrrty, but just nasty like I got pulled into a golden shower situation against my will. If you must do it, either tell me to hold on, or hit mute so I never know.

Beggin ass people - This one always gets on my nerves. There ain't nothing worse than someone who always want to hold something. Don't matter what it is: a lighter, some change, some of your lunch, a kidney. I hate people that never have anything of their own. There's this girl at work that has borrowed stuff from just about everybody in the building. Makes me sick...

Little kids rapping - When people see this, they often say "awww", but to me this is the antithesis of cuteness. It grates my nerves seeing kids rap off beat or talking about chains and grills that they know nothing about. And don't get me started about these kids who grow up and decide they wanna be tough guy rappers. Tell your ghost writer to stop that nonsense, cuz we ain't buying it.

R&B cats that wanna rap and Rappers that wanna sing - It hard to recognize R&B cats anymore. They singing love songs about hood life and c-walking in their videos. They just need to cut that stuff out, you ain't hard like that. And rappers trying to sing? Someone explain to me how Nate Dogg has a career? He can't sing, he doesn't rap, but he's on everyone's hooks. Ja Rule, Fifty and Nelly? Why you singing? That ain't your forte.

Women that dont want me to play Madden. - This is not so much an issue since I gave my Playstation 2 to my nephew, but why do women hate on Madden? Its a positive outlet for men. Sure, he may not really be listening to what you say, and yes his homeboys eat up all your food during a Madden tournament, and yes, he loves the game more than he loves you, but at least he ain't out screwing someone else.

Bloggers that email me to ask why I haven't commented in a while - Maybe I'm busy. Maybe I just don't feel your blog. Regardless, its my decision to read and I resent you trying to make me read your shit if I don't want to. I think this bothers me because I can't just be mean and tell them what I really think about them. I feel like this: if I don't like it, then I won't read it. I'm not gonna leave a comment telling you that I think you are a self indulgent, whiny little punk ass liar. I'd rather just leave.

Fox News Channel - I just get a real smug vibe of off everyone on this channel. It ain't even blatantly because of their political views, but I get a sense that they think anyone that disagrees with them is stupid. It doesn't seem like real journalism to me. I understand the editorial content will be slanted towards their own views, but this channel puts in opinions when doing regular news stories.

Spoiled Rich Kids - I blame MTV for this one. That Sweet 16 show and Laguna Beach show these rich kids who don't have to work for anything and expect everything. They all have these elitist, whiny voices that make me wanna do 3 things: 1slap the shit out of them, 2. rob them, 3. Drop them off in the hood somewhere and make them fend for themselves.

"The Black _____" - That phrase The Black ____ gets on my nerves. Let me explain. I hear people all the time saying "The Black Martha Stewart" or "The Black Donald Trump" or "The Black (Insert Celebrity or Pop Culture Icon here). It just rubs me the wrong way that we aspire to be somebody else. How about being "The Original Cleophus Watkins?"

Punk ass baby daddies - Not much needs to be said about this one. A man that won't take care of his kids is less of a man in my eyes. That is the most important job that you can have as a parent. And we wonder why our youth act the way they do. I'm not saying that everyone is gonna be Cliff Huxtable, but can you at least buy some diapers?

People who can't make their own decisions - Its hard enough for me to know what to do for myself without having to tell you what to do. I'm all for getting advice (in theory.) But the final decision is yours. Besides, if I tell you to do something, then it absolves you of your responsibilty as an adult and I'm not gonna do that.

What are your pet peeves? Do you share some of mine? Hit up the comments section and let a brother know.
