30 Day Writing Challenge: Three Pet Peeves

Three Pet Peeves

Not the best example of my writing skills; more like a rant.

1. When people don't pull over for emergency vehicles

I see this happen so much and it greatly irritates me. A fire truck or an ambulance races down the street to respond to an emergency call. While the majority of cars pull over to the side of the road to let it pass, there are always a couple jerks who don't pull over. As a result, response time is slowed, and that delay could make a difference in the outcome of the emergency situation. It takes a mere five to ten seconds to pull over to the side of the road and let an emergency vehicle pass you. When you fail to pull over, you are a jerk. I don't care who you are, but I doubt that you are heading to an emergency situation where time is of the essence. You can take five to ten seconds to pull over and then you can speed off to your destination. Unless you are heading somewhere to save someone's life, pull over and let responders do their job and save lives. 

2. People who complain all day, every day

I want to help you with your problems; I really do. I love listening to what's going on and give you advice. But at some point, it just becomes annoying complaining for no reason. If you don't want to do something, don't do it. If you don't understand why someone is acting a certain way, talk to them about it. If you want to change something, do it. Actively work toward that change. Don't just complain. That will do nothing but annoy everyone around you. If you need help moving toward that change, ask, but don't do nothing.

3. People who just love to judge others i.e. bullies

Everyone makes judgements every now and then about others, but some people take it too far. Some feel as though they need to dictate every aspect of a person's life, that they are always right and the person is always wrong because of who they are. I hate those people. I don't hate much, but those are people I cannot stand in the slightest, especially when they tell people to kill themselves for simply breathing. I am not violent whatsoever, but when people decide that they ought to be in control of the lives of everyone around them and that they are somehow superior to these other people, I really want to punch them in the face. Who are you to say that someone has to live according to your standards? Who are you to say that someone's life is wrong? If anyone's life is wrong, it's the lives of these judgmental jerks.
