We all have different love languages, some of us prefer a thick diamond over an intimate compliment, while other people get more turned on by their partner doing their laundry than from their actual naughty foreplay. It's possible, we swear. Love languages that don't match up can cause more issues than you might think, but as long as you're open and honest with your significant other (as well as yourself) about what you need to feel loved and appreciated there are many ways to work around it.

Some people severely lack the ability to think outside of themselves and treat others with empathy. This would definitely be a friendship red flag, but if you are (un)lucky enough to have one of these characters in your extended family, you have to either learn how to deal with it, be the bigger person, or remove yourself from the equation altogether. None of these options are favorable, but we can't let ourselves be stepped on, especially by other women.

We all have our pet peeves. Sometimes it's a word, a smell, a whole person. We can't help but get annoyed when these kinds of 'things' pop up in our lives. One whiff and your whole day can be ruined. Side note: Is being annoyed an emotion? Or a state of being? Is it just a different form of frustration/anger? Now that's some food for thought.

Anywho, let's get into this entertaining list of very specific things that annoy people for very unspecific reasons.

Everybody grows up understanding a different version of the birds and the bees story. Some parents go into no detail at all, and just explain that love leads to babies, while some parents will present you will full diagrams of the male and female anatomies. You also of course can't forget the sex 'education' you got from your school, as well as that one classmate with endless amounts of sex advice that they got from god knows where.

Most people would be thrilled to have their children speak multiple languages. Being multi-lingual has so many developmental benefits. Plus, the world is becoming more and more connected, so language is a great way to benefit from globalization. But sometimes, people are too selfish to actually let their children succeed, and would rather hold them back from certain experiences because they didn't have the same opportunities growing up. Sounds harsh, but that's showbiz.

As a parent, you never stop worrying about your children. They could be at school, at a party, at the doctor's office, across the world, even chilling upstairs in their bedroom, and there will always be a little part of you that wants to make sure that they're okay. Parents are meant to protect their children after all. But at some point, you need to loosen your grip a little bit. You don't have to throw them out the window like a little bird you nursed to health, but you do have to grant them partial freedom at some point to grow on their own.

A lot of us like to think we have types. Tall, dark, and handsome, skater boy, blonde hair, curly hair, etc, etc. But of course, all of those standards fly right out the window when we find someone we actually like, or that there is palpable chemistry with. We all know that girl who says, "My partner was not my type AT ALL when we met." Debunking our own ideas of what we want is one of the exciting parts of putting ourselves out there and going on dates. 

Nosy neighbors have a special place in hell reserved just for them. People need to learn how to mind their own business, especially about things that don't concern them. Just because someone lives next to you doesn't mean you get a say in their affairs unless it directly harms you. Unfortunately, not everyone shares this viewpoint, and one particularly meddlesome woman rubbed her pregnant neighbor up the wrong way. The 32-weeks pregnant woman took to Reddit's Am I The A—Hole to complain about her utterly unreasonable neighbor, who accused her of being "indecent" after not wearing a bra under her shirt on her private property.

When you marry into someone else's family, it is ideal that you have a healthy relationship with all of their relatives. After all, it sucks to feel unwanted in any scenario. But sometimes some family members (specifically mothers-in-law) like to make their presence increasingly difficult to bear. They insert themselves in situations they know nothing about, and will never let go of the idea that nobody is good enough for their perfect child. And naturally, being treated like you are less than can get old real quick.

Naturally, an Ex-anything has a negative connotation. They are a thing of the past and, usually, it is preferred that they stay there. But sometimes people are not so easily weeded out of our lives, and they come back to make things just about as difficult as they can. It can be extremely frustrating, but who are we if we don't have an antagonist in our life?

Relationships can be very difficult. People keep secrets, start making assumptions, and sometimes even engage in affairs. It's honestly amazing that any of us are still romantics these days. What keeps us going? Love is one of the most addictive drugs. Even after the most severe of heartbreaks we still come running back for more. Is it because we want babies? Unlikely. 

If anyone has any legitimate theories for why we're like this, let us know.

Both genders have their fair share of secrets. There are things about women that men will never understand and naturally, it works the same vice versa. Sometimes women like to say things like, 'Men are all the same,' or 'All men want is sex.' But it could be that we just don't understand them as well as we think we do.

On Reddit, men are sharing common misconceptions about their gender, and it seems there are more than a few that they felt compelled to share.

For whatever reason, being broke has nearly become an aesthetic. Rich people like to buy ripped jeans, and pre-dirtied shoes to come off some kind of way, even though they're secretly wealthy. Naturally, these kinds of efforts can make people who actually have financial issues quite uncomfortable. For them, thrift shopping is not a trend, it's just the most affordable option.

On Reddit, people are sharing what screams,'I'm rich but I pretend I'm poor' and people definitely did not hold back.

Have you ever had a lightbulb moment in the middle of doing something completely unrelated? Have you ever shocked yourself with a stroke of genius when you were least expecting it? If so, you might have had a Shower Thought—and you're not alone. This week's collection of the top shower thoughts, AKA some pretty impressive philosophical musings, will make you stop and think about a thing or two. Perhaps they'll make you ponder your existence, or maybe they won't. But one thing's for sure, and that is they will make you a wiser and more profound person than you were before you read them

Life is tough, and sometimes things can get pretty stressful. Having a partner who can be by your side and laugh through the tough times can make the things that much more bearable. These couples have certainly mastered the art of finding humor in everyday things, and they are true couple goals! Scroll through and get some inspiration.

Sometimes it can be difficult to format the complexity that is one's sex life into clear words. Our 'sex lives' can change a lot through the years, sometimes even throughout the week. It's not so easy to explain how active, or inactive someone is sexually. Perhaps the best way to do it is by referencing another storyline that we can thoroughly relate to.

On Reddit, people are describing their sex lives using only movie titles. Maybe there's a 70's film out there that is better at explaining our sexy times than we can.
