BOOKWORMS GETTING UPSET 

I was happily reading a book in a restaurant and a guy comes over and says I wanted to talk to you because you look bored! I brought my own print book with me somewhere and you think I don't want to be reading it? People thinking that I am not busy because I am "just" reading is what annoys me.

When people say, " must be nice to have time to read". Like I'm a bad person for having time to read. I respond with, " we all have free time, it just depends on how you want to use it"

My friends always say :“I don‘tknow how you find the time for reading! I NEVER have time for that. I must be busier than you.“ ...after watching four hours of netflix 😑

As a “bookworm” it annoys me when people try to talk to me while I am reading.

As soon as they used the word “bookworms” instead of “readers” I knew we were in for a wild ride

“What is that book about,” he asked, pulling me from the story mid page. As I explained his eyes glazed over and he interrupted, “yeah, I’m not much of a reader.”

The most annoying thing I get to hear is "Why do you only read dumb shit like fantasy? Try reading real books sometime (non fiction)"

"Nobody reads books anymore." This really bugs me because I worked in a book store for years and people do in fact buy and read books.

"Wow that book is so big, you're going to read the whole thing?" is admittedly a nice ego boost

"Fantasy books are not real books therefore you are not a true reader". The sad part is that I hear that from people who like reading

Most annoying thing we hear (in my opinion): "Wow you have so many books, what a waste of money and space" or " You should stop buying so many books"

"Go to bed! Stop reading! It is 4 in the morning!" (Parents) Most annoying thing for me. If I wanna read the whole night and feel like shit the next day its my decision!

What annoys me is when I’m reading a book and someone doesn’t stop talking and I’m like dude, read the room, stop bothering me PLEASE.

“What’s that book about?” Me “Well it’s about....” Persons eyes immediately glaze over Me why did you ask me if you don’t really care?

"Socialize more" and "book's aren't everything!" I know books aren't everything but for someone who has social anxiety they help to give me a reason to socialize with other readers. Plus I know people who started to read thanks to certain movie franchises.

"forget it female dog" -Elliot brooks

It's incredible how aggressive some people can be when talking about books 😂 Thanks for this Elliot.

Elliot trying to understand the minds of edgy people on the Internet is amazing!

The most annoying things as a bookworm are from other bookworms. Those are: "This book is offensive so it should be banned" and/or "the author is offensive so people shouldn't read their books." I am fully against 'book burning' or anything stopping people from consuming books. If you do not like a book for whatever reason, that is on you. Say no to censorship.

Why does the whole thing seem like it's been written by really small children? 😂😂😂

There are two things that annoys me the most. First is ''why are you buying so many book just use the library'' and then I have to explain that book reading and book collecting are two different sports. And second is when I start reading my book and somebody sits next to me and tells me they will not bother me I should just keep reading and they continue to ask me a question every 30s, i mean if you wanna talk to me just say and I will stop reading, this is getting us nowhere

"audiobooks are not real books", "you add audiobooks on your gr reading goal??" bruh.

“Who likes you? No one” Ok that got me good

Another annoying one: "listening to audio books isn't really reading."

When people who don’t read YA and decide it’s “all the same” or badly done simply because it tends to aimed at younger women 🙄 Can’t stand adult genre elitists

Idk how to respond when someone tells me, “wow, wish I had time to read” and I’m like??

One thing that annoys me is when someone asks me to tell them about the book I'm reading when I know for a fact they don't like books/don't read/aren't actually interested. This has less to do with the other person being annoying and more to do with my internal conflict, because I will always want to give them a big long explanation, but I know they're only asking to be polite, so I have to find a way to sound excited about my book while not sounding too excited about it. I just want to tell people about the books I love!

Something that annoys me is whem my mom tells me "stop reading books and take a break", but she doesn't understand that books ARE my break

'Fantasy isn't exciting because the characters can do anything.' & 'Why don't you read something other than *insert favourite genre*?' These two can be pretty annoying as a fantasy bookworm.

For me it is "How can you read a book more than once."

I really like your hair it looks so good

The site may not be satirical but the comments definitely sound trollish.

Irony: in this age of massive tv’s I find myself watching this on a 6 inch phone.

This website seems like it is made by a 15-year old who interviewed their classmates.

I hate it when people say "Wow I wish I could read but I don't have time." Everyone can find time to read if they prioritize it.

What makes me upset is when people dont like to read say that reading is objectively boring....like ok because you dont like to read all books are bad? No 😣

"Graphic novels aren't real books." Hmmm, let's see... a selection of sequentially ordered pieces of paper being bound by a cover listing a title and creator(s). What's a "real book" again?

I love your different voices for the comments!!🤣♥️

This was honestly a very entertaining video! Whoever came up with the idea for this is amazing! Thanks for the content!

Good morning. When someone sees me with a book that I’m reading they ask the question “What book are you reading ? I show them the cover of the book and they see that it’s a romance and they give me a look like .... oh, she’s reading that and they don’t say anything else after that.

The most annoying thing is for sure "You have way to many books" A close second is "That obssesion you have with reading is unhealthy, why do you read so much? Go outside"

"What's the book called?" As if the person asking has heard of it. Which is like never. Just go away!

Maybe this is just book-ish snobbery but I really do think folks should read more. 😂 That being said, I’m not angry that people don’t read. Or even inherently think we are smarter; but I think it’d be extremely difficult (or even impossible) to garner the same knowledge on a specific topic without reading about it. Like reading a history book verses watching History Channel or playing Assassins Creed. I mean apart from going and getting a history degree (which would require a ton of reading anyway) You shouldn’t go around being an asshole about it, but that doesn’t mean there’s not some truth in it. P.S I agree the fans gatekeeping is probably the worst aspect of fandom. I hate it lol

So of course, I'm a bookworm and it seems as if people think that if your a bookworm you automatically are a fast reader. and I'm NOT, I am just in general a slow reader, I write in my books a lot so that slows my pace and I have a busy schedule. but my friends and relatives see me reading a book(like way of kings size) and are like, " you'll be done by the end of the week right?" like(well now I'm just ranting) I once had a minor surgery a couple of years ago and I used to bring my book and after a few days the dr. asked me(politely but still) that why wasn't I already done with the book! not related but Also i write, so im writing a novel and whenever i tell someone that, their first question is, "How many pages have you written?" and my friends, i have to explain them EVERY TIME that thats not how it works! before sitting down and filling up pages, you have to do worldbuilding, character analysis, plot designing, foreshadowing and SO MUCH! anyway thats all i had to say

Sometimes I’m in the middle of reading a book at home and I carry it around the house from time to time. My father often says “Do you have to carry that book around ? Why don’t you put that book down”.

Well, at least the list doesn't include something like "Book marks or dog eared pages?" Because, who can really choose between the two.

I play Minecraft while I listen to audiobooks , my fav combination.

What really annoys me is when people get snoby over theit hobby. Like in this video. 'I read books, therefore I am better'. No you are not. And even in the bookish communicty 'My genre of books is better than yours.' Ugh. Also, Goodreads. The ranking system. The Goodreads Awards. It just salts my apples.

My biggest annoyance in anything is always gatekeeping. Like when people started watching/reading Game of Thrones late and the “true fans” that were there from the beginning felt they were superior, or when people say “you can’t call yourself a fan of ____ if you haven’t watched/read ____ yet”

1. People assuming I'm "not doing anything" when I'm reading 2. People talking to me when I'm reading or trying to pull me away from it (particularly in the middle of something exciting) 3. Negative comments on the kinds of books I read 4. Judging how I treat my books (the books are meant to be HANDLED... Let me live, Janet!) 5. Guidelines on how you should or shouldn't enjoy/be a fan of a story

Regarding the movies vs. books argument, I think it's awesome when someone sees a movie based on (or inspired by) a book first, and it motivates that person to read the book.

For me, most annoying is probably when anybody implies (or sometimes outright says) that reading is a waste of time. "How do you have time for that?" or "Wouldn't you rather be doing X?" type comments. And I feel like people feel that way about most hobbies. No one likes being told that the thing they're enjoying isn't what they should do.

Oh my... these escalated quickly 😂

Whoever curated this list is an insane person. Left to the mob, we get anarchy! Not sure as a bookworm, but as an actor, "HOW U MEMORIZE ALL THEM LINES?!?!"

Soo the thing that annoys me the most is when my parents say (they half oppose me reading; surprise!) "readers do not know how to think and act practically because they always have to go by the book". Im still tryna figure how this applies when all i read are fiction books and not a freaking directory or manual😂

I think a lot of us growing up heard the phrases “why don’t you play outside more, you need more exercise, not sitting around all the time” and “socialize more, why don’t you go play with your friends?” Even from your own parents, who should know better... sooooo annoying!

You are correct about bookworms loving it when someone notice them reading a big book. I for one definitely make an office announcement when I am reading a big book.

Them after I’ve told them how much I read or what I’ve read: “wow you have too much time on your hands” “well you can tell YOU don’t have kids” or “maybe you should have children since you have so much time”

I really really hate it when people say watch the movies it’s quicker love 💖 this video

I absolutely hate people who say if you don’t like classic books, then you’re a dumb person.

Just wanna say I am obsessed with your makeup!

"The book is always better, it has so much more detail and worldbuilding" Drives me up the wall. Part of adapting a work is picking out what's important and what isn't. Like, that Wheel of Time tv show is going to be paced better than the books almost automatically, because all the page long descriptions of clothes and buildings and such can just be shown in one second.

I watched this because I figured it would be a good laugh. THANKS! This is totally non-book related unless you use a self help book. I love your hair and makeup. I am a hair person. I would love for you to do a video on how you got your hair like that today! I guess all my friends are bookworms and if there us a movie/TV version, then we usually watch and compare. TFS a good laugh!

This list was written by 13yr olds... Wtf! Annoyances: talking to me while I'm reading saying audiobooks aren't really reading, hating on YA, I'm sure there are more lol

I just want to say that your hair and makeup looks so beautiful today, I know it’s completely unrelated but I just had to say so!

"You read fantasy/Ya/etc? I only read NON FICTION books, because I actually want to LEARN and not waste my time." Ugh. Go away and leave me to my broody bad boys, highly complex magic systems, and existential crisis.

One thing that annoys me is when I take free moments to read, that are sometimes 10 minutes a day, and they don't call it "real reading" if I'm not spending multiple hours in entirety just reading.

My biggest pet peeve is when I show someone my book collection and their first question is “why do you have so many copies of the same book” and when I explain that the book is very meaningful to me and there are many beautiful editions they say, “well you’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover!” a) I’m allowed to do what I want with my own money b) the entire point of a cover is to prompt you to pick up a book because it looks interesting. With the bookish community it is very easy to get recommendations for books that you might not pick up in a store because the cover is not as attractive as the others. Also, for each edition of a book, someone has put time and effort into making the cover and if I appreciate it, I like to show that appreciation by owning a copy that I can show to friends and family.

The most annoying thing is 1) when people assume that bc im a girl I must enjoy strictly romance and domestic thrillers and make a big deal about it when they find out I primarily read fantasy. Also 2) when readers brag about reading 400 books in a year. Why does that matter?

Ooo yes people always ask the movie one and I’m just like 🤷🏼‍♀️ I do both 😂

When someone sees me reading a romance/contemporary book and they say "Oh, like Fifty Shades of Grey?" Yes because EVERY romance book out there is exactly like that 🙄🙄😂😂

I'm a librarian with an MLIS and one of my coworkers (also with an MLIS) said "Oh, you're still reading fiction? I got tired of that in grad school."

I had a friend in college who used to call books over 500 pages “PetraCat length novels” and it was a total flex for me. 😉

Your avoidance of the swear words in reading the comments cracked me up, and yeah where in the heck did these problems and comments come from?? 😂

Your reactions were spot on! So glad you found this random list hahah

Definitely agree with book size flex though. I love flexing that

I absolutely hate it when someone sees you reading and decides that it’s time to tell you their whole life story or ask you what the book is about knowing that they have absolutely no interest in what it’s about.

What annoys me most as a bookworm - when people say "well, if you have that much time on your hands to spend it reading, you could be doing something productive..."

Once I told a coworker that I was going to read The Hunger Games after watching the movies and he said, “I don’t read those kind of books, they are beneath me.” 🙄🙄🙄

Me: finally someone will validate how annoying it is to have your level of intelligence assumed because of the type of books you read The List: hOw AbOuT mOvIeS tHo

u made me laugh and I needed that today. thank you!

I found funny how most responses seemed from a very rude elementary school bookworm thug perspective 🤣

absolutely loved this video

Just yesterday I comment in my pilates class that I' ve already read 8 books this year ( I am proud of it), and then my instructor said " I hope your reading books to help your patiens, not fantasy" so I answer quoting an authot that said "we need a dosis of fantasy so we don' t die of reality". What really bothers me is when people cuestion me about the money that I "waste " on books instead of buying other things that I actually need. But, I mean, first of all is MY money that I earn by working and also if they don't like to see me with the same clothes all the time I think they should look other way! Hugs from Argentina🤗. PS. It also bothers me when they question my rereads.

This is one of my very favorite type of videos from you. 😆♥️❄️

for me the most annoying thing is when people ask "what do you do in your free time?" and i'm like "i like to read" and they're like "wow you're so smart!"... like? no??? it's literally the same as watching tv shows but you just read words ://

Back when I was in grade school I remember during social times when everyone else would be talking with friends & whatnot I would alot of times be sitting, reading quietly minding my own business & people would make it a point to interrupt me & ask "Why are you reading?" Like why would you be reading when you don't have to be or like how could that possibly be more interesting than this room full of teens shouting over each other 🤷🏽‍♀️ it always annoyed me.

They had to have polled 5th graders. This is what I have seen/heard from 10/11 year olds 😂

I need a gif of Elle's reaction after reading through the minecraft comment ( 6:45 ) LOL it was perfect

When I'm mourning the death of a character and someone tells me "It's not even real". That will aggravate me like nothing else.

I hate that being a “bookworm” to most people also means studious. I dropped out of high school, failed most of my classes, never did homework, and was just a terrible student in general. Doesn’t mean I read any less books. But also, my high school grades don’t mean I’m an unintelligent person. I’m just not good in an academic setting.

Only two things come to mind: 1. You read? I don't have time in my busy life to read. This above statement is normally said to me in interruption of me reading during my lunch break the only real time I read... 2. You are sitting their reading (shields up) and someone interrupts you to talk about something else. This above one is very situational if you are reading and someone interrupts you to asks about the book or a book or to get the time this doesn't frustrate me. BUT NO, most of the time someone enterupts your reading to talk to you about politics or how they could never read.... Ugh. Sorry for the rant on the last one, but for the most part bookworms are chill.

I dated a guy who thought reading was stupid. I didn't read as much while I was dating him and didn't complete my Goodreads goal that year. There was actually a lot of things I didn't do while dating that guy because he thought they were stupid, and I didn't want to hear him rant about them if I did them. I broke up with him because I just wasn't myself. My husband will listen to books while he is playing video games! My younger brother does that too! I started leaving the dust jacket at home when I took hardcovers with me so I wouldn't be judged for what I was reading.

I HATED books some time ago. Not because of the books perse, but because some bookworms are so disgustingly snub that I REALLY didnt wanted to have anything to do with them xD

Me : (an avid book reader who also does Minecraft videos)👁👄👁

13:49 Your response is....accurate lol😳

I love that you can't get through reading these without laughing 😂

One day I was going to the library on a Friday afternoon and my co-woker joked saying I'm a sad looser.

"I'm planning to be a teacher and actually be successful" I hope this person doesn't live in the US because if they do they're in for a rude awakening. We _really_ need to pay our teachers more
