Pet Peeves
January 20th, 2011Hi ladies, this is just for fun and I will bet these are some of your Pet Peeves too.
My Top Ten Pet Peeves
1. Handicap Parking – NO YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PARK THERE IF YOU ARE IN A HURRY!!
My Mom was a paraplegic and a very large woman, we’d pull into a shopping mall and many times the Handicap space was taken by a perfectly healthy person.
2. Shopping Carts – sloshing through 6 inches of snow and ice on Sunday and trying to pull into a parking space, I had to get out of my car and push a shopping cart that was taking up two spaces because the lazy slob who dashed into their car, didn’t push it another 10 feet into its holder. Purely selfish.
3. Baseball Caps – Hats worn indoors, unless you are an Orthodox Jewish person, wearing a Yarmulke, or a lovely lady going to church, take off your hat when you enter building or a restaurant. In Montana, where I spend a lot of time, they have forgotten this basic rule of etiquette.
4. Licking your fingers – true story, I was in a coffee shop and this young man was licking his fingers so loudly, with such enthusiasm that you could hear it throughout the shop. And then he wiped his fingers on his clothes. (it’s a nice coffee shop)
5. Men – clean your apartments or homes – or hire it out. My ex-husband’s house is such a pit; I can’t imagine a woman with any class wanting to spend time there.
6. Whining – Stop it. If you are healthy, have a good job, the love of your spouse, children and friends, you are lucky. If you are not happy or suffering a real health crisis, get a counselor, seek your pastor, find a great doctor and try to solve your problems. Whining makes it worse.
7. Tailgating – one of the most dangerous driving practices in the world, one that is responsible for death and serious injuries. Staying on my tail isn’t going to get you there any faster. Chill and stay a few lanes back.
8. Line Etiquette – if you have 100 things in your shopping cart and I have two items, graciously ask if I’d like to go ahead.
9. The F word. Kids, young people and even some mature adults use the F bomb in every single sentence. First that shows a lack of intelligence, demeanor and class. And if you need to do that please do it in your car, or home, where I don’t have to hear it.
10. Snoring on airplanes – dear God in heaven. If you are going to sleep on a flight and you are sitting next to someone say, “I snore, if it bothers you please feel free to wake me up”. I can’t tell you the hundreds of flights where I am gently elbowing or coughing next to a man that sounds like the 747 engine is inside the airplane.
