Today I'm going to address Pet Peeves, of which I have many....probably too many to mention, so here's my abreviated list (in no particular order)....
1. People driving 10 miles under the speed limit in the "fast lane."
2. People standing in my "personal space" in order to carry on a conversation
(especially if they have nasty smoke/coffee breath)
3. Going to the bathroom only to find 1.5 squares of toilet paper left on the roll. How freakin' hard is it to reach under the cabinet and grab a new roll???
4. Very loud cell phone conversations. Trust me, not everyone within ear shot wants to hear about "who" or "what" you did last night.
5. Sorority-chicks with big hair or preppy frat boys (or anyone else in perfectly good health for that matter) whipping their cute little sports car that daddy bought into a handicapped parking space. I don't freakin' care if it's raining and your new "do" or your Prada purse and/or shoes will get wet.
6. Asking for help finding something in Albertson's Grocery Store, only to be told they don't carry that product, even though I bought it there just a month ago.
7. Gray hair. (It's hereditary...I can't do a damn thing about it except become best friends with Miss Clairol.)
8. Running out of quarters at the car wash when I haven't rinsed the back window.
9. Drivers who cut me off because they think they own the stinkin' road.
10. Women who wear really thin white pants and a leopard-print thong.
11. Throwing a gutter ball on the first throw when bowling.
12. Smokers.
13. People who throw trash out their car windows.
14. Finding the "perfect" color at the paint store, but learning how hideous it really looks once it's on the walls.
15. Waiting in line at the grocery store behind a little old woman who insists she has the 97 cents in change and holds up the line for a good 10 minutes while she digs for pennies in her bottomless coin purse. (Along this same line, waiting behind someone who doesn't even take the checkbook out of the purse/pocket until the checker gives the total amount due, then takes his/her sweet time writing out the stinkin' check.)
16. People who think I should keep my house as clean as theirs.
17. $2 and up for gasoline.
18. Crappy service at a restaurant.
19. "Big" hair.
20. Rude people. 21. Probaby my "biggest" pet peeve is when the television news media people say something is "completely destroyed." What? As compared to perhaps "partially" destroyed? If it's destroyed, then it's "understood" that it's completely.
