If I were invited into ‘room 101’ I would nominate the following things: chewing gum, spiders and pigeons. All of these things get on my nerves and deserve to go into room 101.
The thing I dislike the most about chewing gum is where people leave it, on the bus, under tables and on the floor. It’s disgusting! Have you ever accidentally stepped on a piece of chewing gum just walking down the street? It gets stuck to your foot all day, you try and scrape it off, but it just isn’t budging. You then have to resort to using your fingers to pick off somebody else’s revolting ball of goo. People try and stick chewing gum where ever they can. What’s wrong with a bin? I was in class the other day and my knees touched the underside of the desk. I felt something squidgy touch knee (it was repulsive). Its not exactly hard to put something so small into a bin.
Also chewing gum isn’t biodegradable so if it gets left on the floor it stays on the floor. It makes the place look really untidy. There’s usually a bin near by but people just don’t bother. I guess they don’t mind walking around in a dump. But I do mind and I’m sure loads of other people do as well. So chewing gum should be the first thing to go into room 101.
My next ‘thing’ to put in room 101 is frightening, fury, fierce, foes which are eight legged freaks. When you go to have a bath and there’s one enormous hairy spider crawling around in your bath tub, it’s quite horrifying! You have to search you house for a slipper. Spiders some how sense your trying to squish them they’re really fast. What do you expect they’ve got eight legs? Another thing about spiders is there webs. In my garden I have a trampoline and the spiders love it, they’re on it all the time, I think the net is mostly spider web now. When I want to jump they come out from every direction and frighten me off. I think they do it on purpose. I can’t stand their webs. Have you ever walked through or brushed your hand through a spider web. It feels like your hand gets wrapped around in string and you try desperately to get it off but it clings to your skin like glue.
In high school I worked at Jimmy Johns and have had to clean up after customers that have defecated on the floor next to the toilet. At the Men’s Wearhouse in Sioux Falls where my fiancée works, people have rented suits and returned them after defecating inside the suit. At the Kmart that my stepdad worked at for twenty years, elderly customers have not been able to make it to the bathroom on time and leave a streak down the aisles to the restroom. At the Starmark in Sioux Falls where my father was employed for many years, employees defecated in the corner of the factory bathroom. My father also worked on many construction sites around Sioux Falls where other workers would urinate in a bottle, place the bottle in the wall, and build around it. My father also worked on an apartment complex renovation where the tenants of the building defecated on the newly-carpeted hallways and proceeded to smear it on the freshly-painted walls. These stories provide some insight on the public defecation phenomenon in that it is not localized to one specific area or just large populated
The day started with clear blue skies and not a cloud in the sight. The only noise that you could hear was a concert given by the nearby crickets, and a lonely bull frog singing nearby in unison. As the evening passes on a sharp snoring noise can be heard muffled softly.
Into The Lush Forest The sun had just kissed the hill, giving warm color to the sky, but I was feeling cold. The excitement in my heart was slowly losing its fire. We were lost and I felt alone, lost in the crowd of trees. A cold crowd perhaps. As the three of us walked slowly through the dense forest, our steps made loud noises - crushing the fallen leaves, and the broken twigs.
One rather beautiful day I head down to the building fields of Uruk with my only son Urnabe. He is 14 and he is turning out to be a skilled mason or at least better than his old man. When we get there I see that Binfem was already waiting for me.
“Ah yeah sure,” Mason agreed. “Majestic’s the first word that pops into my mind when I think of macaroni penguins.”
To begin, chewing gum is fun, but should it be allowed in school? Chewing gum can help students in many ways including helping keep one’s teeth clean and breath fresh. According to New Yorker, “Some people actually feel that chewing gum can stimulate your saliva, which can help keep the teeth clean,” With clean teeth and fresh breath, students can focus on their own work and not on how embarrassed they are. Students may just be distracted from how stinky their neighbors breath is. Chewing gum will benefit students by freshening their breath which will help them focus on their work instead of being embarrassed.
You might guess it’s a custom dreamed up by a modern-day, real-life Willy Wonka, but people have been chewing gum, in various forms, since ancient times. There’s evidence that some northern Europeans were chewing birch bark tar 9,000 years ago, possibly for enjoyment as well as such medicinal purposes as relieving toothaches. The ancient Maya chewed a substance called chicle, derived from the sapodilla tree, as a way to quench thirst or fight hunger, according to “Chicle: The Chewing Gum of the Americas” by Jennifer P. Mathews. The Aztecs also used chicle and even had rules about its social acceptability. Only kids and single women were allowed to chew it in public, notes Mathews. Married women and widows could chew it privately to freshen their breath, while men could chew it in secret to clean their teeth.
Everyone has one: those actions, words, personalities, or items that bug someone to no end. These are called pet peeves, and I, for one, have many. But I have to say at the top if my list would have to be people who believe they're entitled, blatant rudeness or disrespect for others, and rumors. These three things irk me to the point where my skin crawls.
How many times have you tossed a small gum wrapper out the window while driving down the road? Almost all of us can admit to having thrown some type of trash on the ground at least once before. While throwing out a gum wrapper may not be as drastic as throwing out a bag filled with trash, these minor items we think are no big deal are part of the reason littering has become such an out of control problem. So many of us think that throwing one small thing out may not be such a big deal. However, if everyone in the world threw out one small thing, that would already be seven billion pieces of trash in our environment. Due to the bad habits humans have unfortunately formed, littering has become a widespread problem; however,
We always hear "do not litter!" or "throw your litter in the bins", maybe some of you bored to hear that yet we still do not throw it in the correct place. Litter is a serious habit problem to just throw away objects on the ground or leave them lying on the ground, instead of putting them in the garbage can. In Indonesia, the amount of litter is 175.000 ton/day and this is increasing every day. But we don't have to see that far, just look around us, our campus, Sanata Dharma University is still facing the littering problems. Each day, although there are various spots of bins and it is never full yet there are many litters lying in the floor, you can see the student hall as the evidence that even though it has 10 spots of bins, we still find people throwing their litter everywhere.
Not all trash finds its way to a landfill. I have acquired amazing treasures: perfectly good furniture and toys from curbsides and Dumpsters. My Grandfather always said “one man’s trash is another man’s treasu...
Although Spiders provide a plethora of benefits to our community, they continue to be one of the most feared insects not only in the Northern Kentuckian area but also throughout the world. In this project, I will come to a conclusion on why people generally fear spiders, which is an actual diagnosis called arachnophobia. Arachnophobia can be triggered by the mere thought of a spider or even by a picture of a spider in some cases. Some people with arachnophobia will, upon entering a room, search it for a spider. If they find a spider, they will monitor its progress very thoroughly. Often the fear is caused by having an unwanted encounter with a spider earlier in life, such as their childhood. One of the more effective and
Littering is a growing problem that happens all around the world. This is an issue that affects our lives, animal's lives, and even the Earth's life. Many people have gotten so used to seeing trash in ditches and on the sides of roads that they don't even notice it anymore. A big part of the problem is laziness. Almost every day you can see someone throwing a piece of trash on the ground or out of their car window.
The Creature That Opened My Eyes Sympathy, anger, hate, and empathy, these are just a few of the emotions that came over me while getting to know and trying to understand the creature created by victor frankenstein in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. For the first time I became completely enthralled in a novel and learned to appreciate literature not only for the great stories they tell but also for the affect it could have on someones life as cliché as that might sound, if that weren’t enough it also gave me a greater appreciation and understanding of the idiom “never judge a book by its cover.” As a pimply faced, insecure, loner, and at most times self absorbed sophomore in high school I was never one to put anytime or focus when it came time
One of the most unique creatures are fish. As I am sitting here in my room, my fish are swimming about with not a care in the world. I wonder what it would feel like to be a fish.
