30 Day Challenge - 18. Disrespecting Parents

If your parents have been there for you and given you the best start in life they could then I believe you should be grateful and show that.  Surely that's just common sense though?

Found this on Pinterest and, to me, it makes perfect sense :)

30 Day Challenge - 5. 5 little things that annoy you about the opposite sex?

Ok so before I get on with the list I'd just like to say that none of these are directly about my lovely boyfriend, on the annoying scale he's actually very low.

So on with the list!

1. The age old problem of the toilet seat.  Now I know not even all girls put the lid down too, which I do, but seriously why don't they put the seat down?  It's just something that I've never understood, and probably never will.

(This is ugly, do not do it!)

2. Their eating habits.  Boys are supposed to eat more than girls, I get that.  But why do some boys seem to think their food is going to get up and run away so they must eat it as quickly as possible?  Eating an entire steak in 2 bites is not pretty.

3. Their fascination with video games.  As a gamer myself I do get this, to an extent.  What I don't get is why they're preferable to other aspects of life like reading or watching films or just generally socialising.  Also I don't understand why they always like the war based games, I play video games to escape reality, not to pretend I'm fighting in a war.

4. Scratching inappropriate places in public.  We all know guys seem to have this fascination with sticking their hands down their trousers at any given moment but that is taken to a whole new level when they start scratching or "adjusting" themselves.  That's why we have toilets, go do it there!  I don't want to see that!

5. Taking the piss out of the tiniest mistakes you make.  This just really makes me want to punch them in the face, yes I made a mistake in speaking or whatever.  No this does not give you the right to make me feel about 3cm tall for making said mistake.

I'd just like to finish by saying a special thank you to my friend Jodie, I would not have written this post in time without you and your vast knowledge of guys' annoying habits!

You're doing it wrong!

Ok so it's officially only 52 minutes until I turn 21.  Then I will be able to legally drink alcohol in all of the US states.  Which will be helpful if I ever go to the US and fancy a cocktail or two.

I've not posted in a bit because...  Well if I'm honest I just got a bit annoyed at this entire blogging thing.  Not particularly with my blog but with some others that I've been following.  Maybe I'm getting the idea of a blog entirely wrong but surely you write a blog because you like to write?  And if you like to write then you should care about how you write.  No?  So if both of these things are true then you should care about your spelling and grammar?  (Feel free to leave a comment if you think I'm talking crazy.)

I've been following a lot of blogs recently and it infuriates me to see people writing blogs with incorrect spelling and grammar.  This vexes me most when it's someone whose first language is English.  If you can't be bothered to learn how to write your own language properly then why are you bothering with a blog?  A blog is all about writing!  Have some respect and pick up a dictionary once in a while.

Sorry for the rant but this is a pet peeve of mine and really gets me wound up!

If, like me, you prefer your grammar and spelling to be correct at all times then you might like this book.

It's a very good and amusing read!  I know that I picked up on a lot of grammar that I didn't know about or had forgotten from this book.

P.S. Agh 39 minutes til I'm old now!
