| I hate people |

It's a known fact. But maybe I've never said why. Maybe I have said why, but I feel like iterating these points multiple times, because they annoy me multiple times.
People that I know are usually good people. I can handle being in the company of most people that I know. Hell, throw a big party...and I may show up! But what I really cannot stand is generic people. The people you don't know. The crowd. The masses that are taking up space.
Take the dining hall for instance. It's usually filled with a buttload of people I don't know. I usually go eat dinner at 5 PM sharp. The dining hall opens at 5 PM sharp, and it's usually me and 10 other people with our bookbags.
Tonight I decided to go at around 6:30 because I was working at the library up until then.
What's really just annoying:
1. Navigating through people that aren't organized in some fashion. Like, without lines or any linear sense of direction. Our kitchen is wide and open, and people tend to walk somewhere and then stop, turn, walk somewhere else, etc. I do this too, but I try to be careful that I'm not running into people and stopping suddenly when someone is behind me. I try not to make a u-turn into someone's face. I try not to scream my friend's name in some unknown's ear. Yeah, I somehow have friend(s).
2. People with their friends. Have you noticed that you tend to lose all sorts of considerations for other people when you are around your friends? If you're in the sandwich line and there are 80 people behind you, get the sandwich. GET YOUR SANDWICH AND GET OUT OF MY WAY. Don't stand there mindlessly grabbing the turkey slices while really being engaged in some conversation no one cares about except the person with whom you're conversing. Get your sandwich and talk in the dining hall. That's why it's there.
3. People who walk right into you. I don't even understand how this happens. My jacket is white, you should notice it. People have serious spacial deficiencies. No, you're not going to fit in the 3 cm space
between me and the wall.
4. People who get up right in front of you when you're walking down the aisle of the dining hall. I'm carrying a tray full of delicious goodness, and I'd rather not drop it.
5. People who get up right in front of you and then turn to their friends in my general direction and shout something. I actually jumped. I'd rather not drop my delicious goodness.
6. People who make more than natural efforts to look at you. You know, you naturally stare at someone walking down the aisle for no reason, or someone right in front of you. But like, don't look back at me if you just passed me walking. I don't get it. Why's there a need to crane your neck back and assert your lengthier gait? Why!?
There are more. But you get the idea.
