10 HUGE Pet Peeves of Mine

We all have pet peeves of one kind or another. I think it's time I got ten of my peeves off my chest!

1- Parents Who Drive Dangerously While Kids Are In The Car-

Oh boy, is this a biggy. I would like to know who the heck these people think they are? I see it all the time, these so called parents picking their kids up from school, and pulling out in traffic when a truck is within arms length, and coming at them at 40 miles an hour. Are they crazy, or just the worst parents on the face of the earth? My solution, take their kids away from them and give them to people who would actually cherish and love them!

2-People Who Tailgate-

My thought on this one is, if you want to kill yourself, don't take me with you. Do they really think they are getting anywhere any faster by riding on my back bumper? Haven't they figured out by now, they always get stuck at the same red light you do, no matter how hard they try? I guess they must be into that ignorance is bliss thing!

3-People Who Continue To Shop While Waiting On Line-

Don't you just love these people, especially when they're in front of You? They just have to pick up those last two or three items, meanwhile making the cashier wait, and the whole line of people behind them really PISSED OFF! I don't suppose they ever figured out that maybe they should finish their shopping BEFORE they get on line? Obviously not!

4-People Who Negotiate With Their Kids-

If you read my article "Who's The Boss, The Parents Or The Kids?" you will definitely already know this is one of my pet peeves. I mean really, letting kids make SOME age appropriate decisions is healthy, but when they run the whole family, and keep Mom and Dad walking on eggshells, I say go to parenting classes, NOW!

5-Snobby People-

Oooh, I can't stand these people. Does this make me a snob too? That's okay it's worth it. I don't know where these people got the idea they were born with a 24 carat gold stamp on their butt that says "We Are Special", and your nothing. What is their problem? My greatest wish is that every one of them would suddenly become homeless, and wonder the streets of Beverly Hills until all of them were arrested for vagrancy. There's nothing like a growling belly to give you a little perspective on "Real Life"! Wouldn't that make an interesting reality show!

6-Neighbors Who Play Really Loud Music-

Are these people like just totally rude, or do they really believe they live next door to deaf people? Are they so arrogant to think we actually want to hear the lousy taste in music they have? My fondest wish for these people is they buy a house next door to a 300 hundred pound wrestler with an anxiety disorder, and a really big shot gun. I would love to see their really expensive speakers after he gets through with them!

7- People Who Tell Every Single Detail Of A Story-

I want to literally scream when one of these people start talking. I feel like their talking is like listening to a Zane Grey novel. They take three hours to tell you one little incident that happened. I don't care if the sky was blue, and there were beautifully shaped, white puffy clouds on the day you shot your husband. Sorry, but mind can only take the Reader's Digest version. So please, save your verbal novellas for someone else!

8- The Same Joke Over & Over & Over Again-

Don't you just love those people who when they get a good laugh from the first time they tell a joke, find the need to tell it again, and again, until you want to rip out their vocal cords. How come they never figure it out that it's not so funny after you've heard it more times than you can count?

9- Calling And Getting A Recording With 16 Different Menus-

I sure do miss the day when an actual person picked up the phone. Now all I hear is press 1, press 2, press 3. Did you ever notice how they never really have a choice you want, so then you have to pick one that's close, and then they just switch to another person anyway. So what does this all mean? I know, they really are trying to frustrate us to the point where we just hang up. GUESS WHAT, It works!

10- Negative People-

I get depressed just thinking about them. Listening to these people for more than five minutes could cause anyone to need Prozac. The only positive thing they think about is how good they are at being negative. I guess that's a start, sort of!

Well, there you have ten of my favorite pet peeves. Fortunately I have more, but we'll save them for another article. Or maybe when I can't stand it anymore and need to vent again!
