I may be speaking for myself when I run through these pet peeves, but here are a few things that can really grind a woman’s gears.
Nosy people
If you’re not one of my close friends, family members, or my significant other, please refrain with the 21 questions. There are some very personal things that people outside of your tight-knit circle should have no business knowing.
Bad hygiene
If you are able-bodied, have a shower at home and have a sense of smell, lather up! For the sake of your own health and well-being as well as for the courtesy of others. Also, a little deodorant never hurt anyone.
Rude manners
If you’re sitting on the 6 train cracking up at the latest Funny Or Die video whilst a mother is in front of you strolling two babies, looking like she hasn’t slept in days—please do yourself a favor and offer your seat.
Feeling violated
Whether it’s being catcalled for simply walking down the street in a cute new outfit we just bought or having our basic rights suppressed as females, disrespect is everywhere.
Feeling rushed
Life is already short as it is. Making us feel like time is virtually running out if we don’t leave our houses in five minutes is a problem. Patience is a virtue.
