My Pet Peeves #2

Yes ladies and gentlemen it's that time of the month: it's time for (Cue the people screaming the title just like on a game show) "SARA'S PET PEEVES!" Someday, I'm going to include a sound effect that actually plays a theme song that I will create. Let's begin.
I genuinely despise when I'm walking (which yes, I do walk very fast naturally) and the people in front of me are walking slowly just enjoying their day. I realize that this might not sound that bad, but when I'm in school and I'm rushing to get to class, this is the very LAST thing I want to deal with. And of course,  I have a terrible habit of mimicking the person walking in front of me. I probably look really, really ridiculous but I'd rather mimick than scream loudly "OH I'M SORRY ARE YOU INCAPABLE OF WALKING THE NATURAL SPEED OF A HUMAN?!" Obviously, the language I'd use would be more colorful, but I'm trying to keep it damn PG here people.
My next pet peeve is when someone in my family, or even me ,asks if a certain meal is good, and I shit you without fail, the waitress/waiter always says "Yea, it's amazing/delicious/my favorite/so tasty/ amazballz/etc.!" There's no way that every single item on that menu is delicious. There's absolutely no way. I've only had one waiter actually tell the truth. I wanted to hug this man. My mom asked if a certain dish was good and he responded with "Honestly... it's not my favorite. I don't think it's very good." To this day, this is the most honest, best thing I've ever heard a waiter say.
I'm going to keep this short and sweet (not very sweet), so I'll just talk about one more thing I hate. When I'm in English class and we're reading a book, the teacher ALWAYS has to look SO much into the book. Just because the sky is described in the book, it doesn't mean that it represents allusions to the bible. I'm pretty sure that the teacher thinks more into the book than the author did. Maybe the author said that the sky was blue because a grey sky would be depressing and a cloudy sky would mean rain? My teacher once thought so much into a book, that she somehow managed to convince us all that a tree really represented the Crucifixion of Jesus and that the branches represented the cross that Jesus was put on.
So I'm going to finish my rant now because "How I Met Your Mother" is on and I cannot miss it.

Deep Thoughts

So, I'm watching "Saturday Night Live" with Kerrie Washington hosting right now. In one of the sketches, the three black characters were all talking about white people and how their lives are so different. One of the things that was said was that when a white person hears that their hotel room isn't ready yet, they act like there was a death in the family. I can honestly say that this accusation is true. The mere thought of it makes me cringe. I despise when I go to a hotel that knows that you're checking in at a certain time and the room isn't even ready yet. It's like a big slap in the face from the hotel. Oh, you want to go to your room right when you get to your hotel to start your vacation? Think again! I know it may seem like I'm overreacting, but this is one of those pet peeves that I have. I also hate when my teacher calls on me when I don't know an answer. I think everyone can relate to that. They call on me when I don't know the answer, but somehow always ignore me when I raise my hand. "Sara, what's the answer?" Oh I don't know! Maybe if you would have called on me 20 seconds ago, I wouldn't look so stupid! You know what I do love? "Toddlers and Tiaras". It's a guilty pleasure (just like googling the Kardashians every day... which one of these days I WILL create an entire post based on them). It's so weird to me some of the things that these pageant moms say. One of them openly said to the camera (her daughter is 4 years old) "Mackenzie is my best friend. We love being with each other!" Oh and right after she said that, her daughter yelled at her to get away from her. Most ironically pleasant show ever. I could go on for hours about that show. But, instead, enjoy one of my favorite quote pictures from it.
