pet peeves / lil stuff you cant stand

1) I hate it when people I rarely know irl chat me up all of a sudden going "Hi! How are you" like. I know where this is going. I know you want something from me so can you just not beat around the bush and just tell me what you want. Pretending to care about me (and then leaving me when you get what you want) sucks more than just being upfront that you need me for something. Unfortunately this has happened so many times with me that I want to skip the formalities because it feels disingenuous. We can just be civil and get this over with 😭

2) I get peeved when people don't thoroughly explain themselves when I try to ask things in-depth. Earlier I was asking about when to do a certain thing ("Is it better to do [x] than [y]?") and someone just replied "Sometimes." like?? What do you mean sometimes. What are these some times then. You can't just say sometimes and then leave the convo because you've not helped me understand the situation at all 😭
 
One of my pet peeves is when my cats walk across my pillows. I don’t mind if they’re on the bed, but why my pillows? My face goes there!! I know they don’t understand that but it still irks me lol

Sudden, non-stop bursts of inspiration in the middle of the night that keep me awake......

Don't get me wrong, brain, I love being inspired and knowing what happens next in my story and not feeling stuck anymore...but can it please not happen at like 2 AM when I'm trying to sleep....

I always worry I'll forget what I was thinking about if I don't immediately write it down. Overactive brain does not let me sleep, lol
 
Let me just say that I cannot stand whenever huge companies buy up the IP that people actually liked, just to either sit on the IP or ruin it to the ground.

A friendly reminder that it's ok to like or love the series but dislike the company who owns it.
 
Love triangles. I don't know if I have said that here already or not. But, I really can't stand them...especially if they just come out of left field/out of nowhere. I almost wrote one in my own work with the girl my protag was after. Now all of a sudden she likes them now! So glad I axed/removed it out because WTF. 😭
