Pet Peeves?

 

 

 

Here’s a list of 5 things I can’t stand:

1. Those annoying commercials for allergies, asthma, and arthritis that list every side effect (diarrhea, dizziness, kidney failure, anal leakage, erratic heart beat, high blood pressure, sexual dysfunction, suicidal tendencies, restlessness, loss of vision and brittle nails) during the advertisement. Can’t they save that information for the doctor’s office?

2. Drivers that risk causing an accident by cutting me off so that they can be exactly one car length further ahead than they were just 38 seconds ago.

3. Children who stamp my glass tabletop with their grubby handprints AS I’m cleaning it.

4. Frantically searching the house for our telephone just to answer it and hear “Please hold, I have a very important message for you.” If you’d like to sell me your product, or you’d like the female in our household between the ages of 25 and 39 to take one of your ‘quick’ surveys, the least you can do is be present when I pick up the phone call.

5. People who ring our doorbell between the hours of 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. - Naptime in our house.

Feel free to add to my list! I’d love to hear your pet peeve so I can say “OH! Me too! Can’t believe I forgot that one!”

The wrapping on DVDs

people who call, don't leave messages, and then ask why I didn't call them back when I saw I missed their call

Kirby Vacuum cleaner sales people. (who often ring the bell between 2 and 5)

the "single transaction" line at Washington Mutual is always the slowest line (but I'm the sucker that keeps getting in it)

People who don't respond to email

dust

people who complain about Bakersfield (unless it's about Kirby or Washington Mutual)

people who buy a ford and then complain about it being in the shop fo repairs/recalls

there's probably more that I could think of, but I'll leave them for others to mention

- people who get impatient in the grocery line (why don't we all just chit chat and have a good time while we wait?)

-ice cream wrappers, used paper plates/napkins, dirty cups left on the floor

Knowing that I only get the chance to take a nap two days a week, and if I take it, I'll wake up two hours later to a completely thrashed house.

The way my three-year-old wants to watch the same movie 40 times in a row before he moves on to something else.

Sand in the bed.

Sticky stuff on the floor.

The fact that it's MAY and my kids still have colds.

- THE AMOUNT OF OF INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH PLASTIC ON ANYTHING YOU GET FROM COSTCO, INCLUDING STAMPS, THAT YOU NEED A CHAINSAW TO GET THROUGH TO YOUR ITEM!  YES! I'M YELLING!  IT MAKES ME THAT ANGRY!

- my husband's short term memory problem.

-my kid's short term memory problem

- servers who don't refill your beverage and still expect a 20% tip.
