I was trying to think up my pet peeve a while ago, and I thought I knew what it was but I realized that it has changed over the years. It used to be when people would say, "I knew that" in the wrong circumstances. Here's an example
gary: I'm gonna put 50 gallons of gas in my tank
tay: your tank can only take 35
gary: I knew that
That used to kill me, but as I've aged I noticed that arrogance is still the main thing that angers me. Its not so much the "I knew that" thing but now its the stupidity of people when they say "I don't care"
tay: Gary! I noticed your wearing black clothes with metal all over it, and eye liner.
gary: its freakin cool right?
tay: no! actually it looks like you fell into a river of gayness, bitch please!
gary: I don't care what you or anyone else thinks
That is stupid, I can understand not caring, but not about things that matter. I can easily say "I dont care" if someone told me was making fun of me because of my hair cut or something stupid like that, but not for important things. Things you should care about and people say they don't is what ticks me off. In the example I just used, he should care about the way people view him, first impressions are key, and what does anyone think when they see someone like that...fear. Its a matter of respect for others and for yourself, if you care for the people you're with you would want to dress in a way that makes them look like they hang out with a normal crowd, not with freaks. What people think of you is one of the most important things in this world. "I don't care what other people think of me" is probably one of the most self loathing things I can think of. If you dont care about people then who would show up at your funeral, the people you don't care about, that to me, is a nightmare, to be hated as you lie there dead /shutter. Honestly they care, they care so much that they do the things they do to garnish attention, whether they think that in someway it will make people think their courageous or witty, its an unhealthy way of thinking. They don't wear those clothes to an interview, because they care what that person thinks...unless you wart to work at Hot Topic. What makes a person think that they are so much better than anyone else that they are above their negative connotations.
here's a funny conversation I had with Charles Ursprung:
C: do you like my new shoes
T: not really, they look like you rolled them is ash
C: I don't care what you think
T: then why'd ya ask?
C: shut up
I live my life in a constant fear of not being liked, so the thought of not trying to get someone to like you is alien to me. I would hate not to care, I would not to be able to stand myself if I knew someone thought anything ill about me. I care too much (as conceded as that sounds). Wait! Look at that! I just put in quotations that so that no one would think I'm conceded, that's what I'm talking about, I care too much about other peoples opinions.
I made this last night but it was too late for me to care about it, I might just make another to make up for the day I missed
