So, at FHE on Monday, we all shared pet peeves as a method of growing closer together. I always have a hard time identifying pet peeves to share when people ask me what really annoys me. But, today, two days post-FHE, I realized one of my pet peeves.
I hate those people who don't wear coats in single-digit or below-zero weather. I saw a couple of them on campus today. We all know these people are just trying to look tough so they can feel superior to all the Californians and other people around them.
"Look at me, it's 7 degrees outside, and I'm only wearing a t-shirt and shorts."
Seriously?
You should be wearing a shirt, a sweater, a hoodie, a coat, a scarf, boots, gloves, long pants, two pairs of socks, and thermals like any other normal person (cough, cough, me) would do on a day like today.
You know what I like, though? To end this on a positive note?
I like the people who get it. The people who understand that anything below 10 degrees is seriously and possibly deathly cold, and most of what's above 10 degrees is also pretty darn. The people who make comments like the following (both of which I heard today on campus):
"It's weather like this that makes you think that hell is cold." --Guy to his friend
"Hey, if I don't hang up, my hand is going to fall off." --Girl talking on her cellphone while she walked to campus.
Way to sport some common sense, people. You protect those unmittened hands from this hellish cold!
