#petpeeve

One of my biggest pet peeve is seeing spillage on any kind of surface especially on a wooden table where it can leave a mark! Poli would sometimes spill a drop of ice cream, water and such, and it would drive me nuts haha. He does wipe them too.. sometimes >:D

recently i’ve been getting real short with people and been getting easily annoyed lol.. part of it may have been “that time of the month” but anyways lmao thought i’d write about my pet peeves & or things that piss me off without a doubt.. 

a) people that use your past against you.. oh man... like you did this for what? if i trust you with a piece of my past - it is so you understand why i am who i am today or why i react to certain things the way i do but if you’re just gonna throw back in my face to remind me of how stupid i WAS.. then bro, leave. thanks 

b) when you have a problem with me but you go and tell everyone else but me. lol if you’re trying to make yourself look good you’re really doing the opposite because no one else can fix your issue with me BUT ME.. communication is the word i’m pretty sure =) 

c) rude people. ex. i was at a cafe once with my mum, and i didn’t like the way our waiter came at my mum with his rude tone and rushed demeanour. so i, who was just acting accordingly, ordered slowly & changed my order a few times and i didn’t even acknowledge his presence as i had my shoulder to him lmao.. in general tho rude people can just save it and go let it out on karens or something. 

d) closed minded people <<<<<< jeez this is a big one. i cannot STAND those with a narrow mind.. to the possibility that there is more than one stand point on EVERYTHING. if you can’t be open minded then we can’t be friends. like bye. 

e) liars. good gosh. i would rather you hurt me with the truth than comfort me with a lie to protect my feelings. and what benefit do you get from lying? $$? pleasure? i pity those who live a life full of lies. go get help. 

f) people that constantly blame their past for their rude behaviour now... to an extent it is understandable to be snappy and closeoff-ish... because you are trying to mend what is broken but if you don’t move on and try make a better living for yourself and constantly blame your past conflicts as a justification to being a down right a$$hole then you my friend are in the wrong.. go get help x2. 

if you’ve made it this far then lets be friends cos #respect lol anyways, pet peeves, things that trigger me.. what not.. there’s probably more cos i tend to be quite short with a lot of things but these ones popped up without hesitation.  

lily and james were straight out of hogwarts, 20 years old that would have been in college if there were wizard colleges.

grossest thing ever: a dirty bathroom especially that’s wet and with hair everywhere. Ew.

I am FED UP with teachers saying “I am NOT gonna deal with so-and-so next year. Don’t put them in MY class.”

Listen up colleagues. There’s one thing in knowing your triggers/weaknesses/personality traits that just don’t jive with your own, but it’s another to make that statement because the aforementioned kid has a reputation or you’ve seen them in the office or whatever. THEY HAVE TO GO SOMEWHERE AND IT’S YOUR F-ING JOB TO TEACH THEM!!!

THIS IS WHAT YOU SIGNED UP FOR! Seriously though. I’ve heard it more times than I can count over the course of the last few days. Some of this might be because I’m a kindergarten teacher and I don’t have/get the luxury of knowing anything about my kids before they step foot into my classroom-but the other part about that is I have to have a completely open mind EVERY. SINGLE. AUGUST. (No-my district doesn’t do a gradual start or a Kindergarten round-up)

I appreciate that this is both a blessing and a curse but COME ON. You agreed to be a teacher to ALL students when you took a job at this school. If you don’t like the student population/demographic/socioeconomic audience that the school serves THEN MOVE THE HELL ON.

I don’t mean to get on a soapbox and TRUST ME, I know how exhausting students with behavioral issues can be, but seriously, who do you think you are to attempt to dictate who is in your classroom and who isn’t?

I legitimately heard a teacher say today that if a 1st grader (who is on the spectrum, might I add) got put in her 2nd grade classroom, she would quit. Like, who the hell do you think you are? If that’s your line in the sand, then you just might as well step over it and into another school.

And maybe I hold this opinion because I truly believe that the children placed in my class are given to me by God because they are who I need in my life and they need me in theirs. I tell myself this and remind myself of this almost constantly and when I find that mindset I instantly feel calmer and seem to have more clarity.
