The Rant Challenge: Inconsiderate People

Inconsiderate People


I am so angry right now. I have had the worst day ever. And to get my feelings out, I'll write this.


(via)


Example: People that leave their shopping cart in the middle of a parking space.


Why? Now I have to get out of the car and push the cart out of the way before I can park. Like seriously, it's not that hard to push the cart back where it belongs. Just push the cart back after you finish putting your groceries away. 

(via thxthxthx)
Example: People that walk so slow when you are in a hurry.


Like, hurry up. You can take all your precious time walking like you've never walked before but don't waste mine. And they won't move out of the way. They take up the entire space walking slo-wly while I stand there swearing under my breath because of how slow you are. You know I'm behind you and you won't move.

(via)


Example: People that don't flush the toilet after they've pooped.


I do not want to see your big ass chocolate in the toilet floating around. Flush the damn toilet. It's just a button and if you're scared of germs, you are going to wash your hands anyways so you might as well flush the toilet. 








Example: People that blast their music in the car and you can hear it outside.


I understand that you love the song but not everybody wants to hear swearing and sex songs.  Turn it down, stop yelling and relax.

The Rant Challenge: Gross People Habits


Gross People Habits


-chew on a pencil that I let them borrow
-people that don't wash hands after going to the bathroom
-people that hack
-buffet people eating from the spoon
- people that sneeze without covering their nose


Note:  I am not responsible for any trouble you get into by using these techniques. It is advice and you don`t have to take it. 
These are disgusting. And I'm sorry if you don't agree with me, but I'm sure a lot of people do.


 from visual photos.com
Situation: You let somebody borrow your pencil and they chew on the back of it.
Why? I was nice enough to let somebody borrow my pencil and they go and suck on the back of it. Then they give it back to you with saliva practically dripping from it. That's disgusting and ughh. I totally understand that it is a habit and it's hard to break but do it on your own pencils. Not on my new ones.
Solution " No, it's ok, you can keep it." 
Note:  Keep an extra plain HB pencil for people to borrow and keep. 




Situation:  You walk into the washroom and you see somebody come out of the stall and go straight to the door without washing their hands.
Ok, there are millions of germs that are now on that poop door handle because you took a crap and didn't wash your hands. That door is for everyone to use. If you want to be disgusting, go buy your own door handle and wipe your poo all over it. You know what's even worse? The fact that sometimes, they do it in your home. 


Solution: 
 1.Try and stop the person and tell him/her to wash their hands. 
2. Glare at them while they are walking out.
3. After you have finished doing your business and washing your hands, grab a paper towel to open the door with.
Note:  Don't stick the paper towel in your pocket. Dump it in the nearest garbage can.




Situation: You are in a restaurant when you hear/see somebody hacking into their tissue. They sound like this: heccckkkk
Why? I get it if you were choking and it was needed. What I don't get is if you have a cold and you are hacking, fine. Go outside and do your hacking there. I don't need the sound effects while I am trying to enjoy my dinner.
Solution: Glare at them or ignore them. Your call.






from Uncategorised by Kayla Nico


Situation: You are at a wonderful buffet when you see somebody taking some rice from the big tray and eating it off  the serving spoon.
That`s so gross. You have the share the spoon with a bunch of other people and this person is eating it from the spoon. That`s unacceptable. No. And then they put the spoon back in after they have made out with it.


Solution: 
1. If they have not put the spoon back in, calmly ask them to not put it back in. Call the manager and ask for a new spoon.
2. If they have stuck the spoon back in, call the manager and ask them to remove the food because somebody put their saliva all over it. 
Note: Make sure not to eat from that dish.




from Best Of Mother Earth


Situation:  People that sneeze without covering their nose.
Stop it! Eww. That is so undeniably disgusting. Eww.
Solution: Do not step near them and do not touch them. Walk away calmly.


Any other gross habits that I can add to this list? Comment!

Handmade Calendars



I don't like to buy calendars. They're very pretty but they are so expensive sometimes. I swear I saw a calendar that was $30 once. Isn't that insane? 
You will need:
-paper
-ruler
-markers
-sharpie

 1. Sketch out your month title first. Then trace with a black marker or a sharpie.

2.My colour theme for this month is turquoise so I am going to shade turquoise around the traced month.


3. Plan out the weekdays location on your calendar, trace it and shade around with turquoise ( or any colour you like) again. Then, plan out your boxes and the lengths and widths of them.

 4. Write out your months and trace your boxes. 
5. Enjoy!

It may not look as nice as a store bought calendar but it was almost free!

The Rant Challenge: Big People In Small Clothes

Big People In Small Clothes



I don't think this looks good at all. I honestly have nothing against larger people and I hate how people assume I don't like larger people just because I'm skinny.  Anyways, it looks gross. There's skin showing and your pants are like halfway up your shin.
 
I get it if you're trying to save money so you wear your too short pants at home. Like, that's reasonable. I just hate when there's giant pieces of skin oozing out underneath your shirt. It look like it's squeezing you and you look uncomfortable. Get your clothes fitted properly. It's not that hard. There are plus-size stores and you can't complain to me about how the clothes are frumpy.  There are plenty of plus sized stores.
 
And I'm not just talking about larger people. I'm also talking about average size people. They wear shirts that are so tight and up your belly button so that it looks like they can barely breathe. I know that's the style in some cases but...you know what I mean.

More Handmade Envelopes & Cards

Check out my handmade envelopes post to find out how to make these envelopes.




I made the other envelopes by basically writing on a fresh sheet of paper and then folding it into an envelope. 


Like my messy writing?



  I find these super handy and easy to make. If I forgot someone's birthday, just pop a card inside and I'm good to go.




I tried making handmade cards. It's ok.


Sorry, the shot's blurry.
This one, I totally failed on. I'm pissed. I ruined it and it looks like complete crap now.
Whyy?

Glittery Paint Chip Magnets


These magnets are incredibly easy to make and they look amazing on the fridge afterwards.



You will need:
-glitter glue {Mine is crayola 3D}
-magnets
-paint chip circles



1. Cut out some paper circles. { I had to hand cut mine because no circle cutter.}

2. Squeeze out little bits of glitter glue and spread around before you squeeze out another bit. You can use a toothpick to help you move some of the glitter around so they are not in clumps.


3. Wait for glitter-glue to dry and then attach magnet onto the back with either a gluegun or with you have those sticky magent back ones.
Sorry for the crappy picture quality.

4. Stick onto fridge and admire.

These are litterally so quick and easy to make. I'll have to make bundles of them so I can use them for small gifts in emergencys.
