10 things I hate about the world we live in

As some people know, the world isn't perfect. There are a lot of things that can get under a guy's skin. If you're having a great day and all of your buddies piss all over that so you come back down to their level of discontent, that's annoying. When you have a great product and you tell one person but that person decides to go for it himself and reap untold fortunes while you remain at your minimum wage job at a certain unnamed restaurant asking patrons if they would like fries with their order, that's annoying. But even those things aren't in my top 10 things I hate about the world the world we live in. We'll start my top 10 list with stingy people, people who just will not give for any apparent reason. In some cases, yeah, I can see where you would not want to give, but not give simply because you can is just absurd. And even when those people do give it is usually some cheap garage sale type gift with no thought put into it whatsoever. Then there are the people who care too much, the kind of people that you see making sure everything they give and do is perfect. Like looking fallible or weak makes them any less of a good person. Which leads me into my next hateful thing about the world; people who can't have someone NOT like them. These people do everything they possibly can to make friends. Now, I have a lot of friends but if I try to make a new one and he/she is being an absolute jerk then I'll say "forget it" and move on, but these are the people who scare me the most. They're the people who are most likely to succumb to peer pressure and fall into a downward spiral of drugs and alcohol when they had such a promising life ahead of them. And on the complete opposite end of the spectrum are bullies, who are along the lines of stingy people but worse. Bullies seemingly pick fights for reasons unknown to man or beast and they do it against the smallest people, most of the time. When I was a bully I would just pick in kids who said something I didn't like, no matter what size they were. It was a rush for me but in retrospect it shouldn't have been. Bullying is in no way cool and I don't care how cheesy that sounds, it is true. And where there are bullies there are people who won't stand up for themselves. Now sometimes, you CAN'T stand up for yourself and that's where bullying enters in but when you are around 15 or so years old and you have people telling you what to do in every situation, all you're really doing is building up stress. And you don't want
