Imagine you walk through a street filled with objects with pastel and coral tone base colors that gives you such relaxation. Strolling at the Cloud 9 it seems to be, giving such sensations that is like being hugged by your puppy love – until you saw a very dark pavement where someone very familiar is sitting there. The person you saw has a resemblance to the one that once made you happy, but at the end just tore your heart, smashed your very soul, and left you holistically empty. Tensed muscles, jaw clenched, and a very flushing red face accompanied by a blazing fiery eyes are the things happened when the surge of emotions flow unto your system. It’s not the pavement that is behind your anger, nor the person, it’s his presence.
We are all capable of being annoyed by something, may it be a big deal or not. I myself, even though I am slow to anger, can be mad at times. There are only few things that could challenge my temper, make my body smolder and my ears fume. Below are the list of things that irritates annoys me.
Using Mobile Phones during Gatherings
In the middle of your bonding with people or someone you love, where everyone is enjoying each other’s company, a phone suddenly alerts its owner, making its owner to look at the phone and lose the attention and interest is something I really hate. Yes, phones and their applications are there to help us reach other people who are far from us, but it makes us lose the chance of talking and communicating with people who are with us. Before the era of Social Media, when we are in our dining area or in a restaurant, we always love to share our stories about random experiences, but now it seems that the phones and the Social Media itself consume a hefty amount of time from us, separating us from the people we love and cherish. Also, this kind of attitude makes other people to feel that they are less important.
Taking both Armrest
These happen frequently in a classroom setting. There are times that your seatmate will first lean on you, then minutes later, his or her elbows will touch your armrest, and the last thing you know is him or her consuming the entire space of table or armrest. I do not know but I always get irritated whenever this thing happens.
Backdoor Brag
We all do have these times in our life when we are very eager to share our achievements in life. Sometimes we tend to be misunderstood by people if we share our accomplishments to them. Also, there are times when we sound very conceited. But there are those people who are self- entitled who really loves humble bragging. People bragging about their OOTDs like “Have you seen me wearing my Burberry top last week, I don’t think it suits me best, but it’s expensive so it should be.” and those who loves to brag about their Courses like “Oh my God! I’ve been sleepless this past couple of days because I really need to review our lessons in Pre-Calculus and Physics. Indeed, STEM, among the rest, is the most difficult Strand in Senior High School. You better not be a STEM student.”, and there are those who are fund of bragging about their house like “Do you know any agencies that can provide me a house cleaner because I really need to hire one ASAP. I am too busy in meeting my clients to clean my mansion.”. It is okay to share your achievements because you worked hard to obtain those, but please be considerate to the person or people you are talking with.
Blocking a Busy Sidewalk
Capturing the moments are good for reminiscing memorable experiences you have. But never took a selfie on a busy place, or at least took a picture to a beautiful facade while walking in a sidewalk especially during morning. There are people who are obsessed in taking pictures of themselves or other subjects such us the sky, tall skyscrapers or a view of something else. Remember that you are not in an Educational Field trip nor any other trips, you are in a busy place, and pausing for a moment just to capture that perfect angle can delay others in the process.
Tittle-Tattle
Gossip here, gossip there, indeed Pinoys loves gossiping, and sometimes I enjoy it too (that’s the reason why I hate myself at times). We are all guilty in gossiping about our favorite actors and actresses, not just that we are also fond of chatting about the people around us. What I hate about people gossiping is that they laugh about others mistake, like they do not have commited any, and there are those who are just make up stories about others. After all, we should not mock others, and we should not talk of others failures as much as we should not make stories just to bring others down.
Clicking Pen
People clicking their pens never fail to annoy me. The ‘clicking’ sound of the pen isn’t disturbing at all, it is the series of ‘clicking’ sound. Whenever I hear that sound, it is like my heart goes along with its rhythm, making me feel unease with my surroundings.
The feeling of discomfort is always subjective. We are not perfect, so we should be more open to many things in life. Also, we must be very forgiving to everyone, for it is in forgiving that we are pardoned and delivered from hatred. There are plenty of things that ar very infuriating, just let them be, and just focus on being calm and steady.
