i get a little too bitchy sometimes

  • people taking off their shoes in public (at restaurants, in class, etc)
  • the pluralization of words that are already plural in form ("stuffs", "jewelries")
  • restaurants that refuse to serve water
  • status messages on Facebook or YM that are entirely too detailed
  • people who put down things they have never even tried and know next to nothing about
