My Pet Peeves!

I realized that with my advancing age I am starting to notice my pet peeves a lot more. I don’t know if I have more or if I am just more intolerant of certain things but I have a lot of them. Some make sense like when people answer with “Huh?” But others are totally irrational, like when people take stuff out of a microwave early and then don’t hit ‘clear’ so I can’t read the clock. I thought on a slow day like today I would write down a few that you might agree with and some that will confirm what you already know…something is seriously wrong with my brain.

People not closing doors, did you forget how to operate it? Is that an invite for others to come in?
People leaving lights on when they leave a room. Maybe you are afraid of the dark, but the room isn’t
People saying ‘but’ as in “I agree with what you’re saying but I would like to do it this way” or “I know you are busy but I need this from you” If you agree with me then agree with me and if you know I am busy leave me alone!….or I will blog about you behind your back.
Girls that let out a high-pitched scream over minor things; Example dropping something, tripping, getting chased by an axe wielding maniac etc. Anonymous but you know who you are so now my wife can’t say I don’t mention her in my blog. D’Oh!
Guys that punch inanimate objects when angered. (Unless I am the one doing the punching in which case it is perfectly acceptable) You can’t beat an inanimate object, it has no feelings.
People that don’t say excuse me when nudging past you. That’s just rude…those people should be punched instead of inanimate objects.
People that press the crosswalk signal or the elevator button after I already pressed it. (What? Did I do it wrong? Can you press it better? Do you have a secret technique?)
Unhappy people doing customer service. If you are not happy then find a new job. I just want my Quarter pounder with cheese, hold the attitude. Aren’t the smiles still free?
Parents that let children have tantrums in public places. Get a grip, if you let them get away with that they will grow up and become politicians, or reality show cast members.
Disrespectful people -
People on public transit (or anywhere for that matter) that don’t give up their seats to the old. They’ve lived longer than you, show some courtesy and let them sit. Same goes for disabled people, have a heart and sit.
Yellow crayons – I dunno, I just hate how it looks on paper
Green cars – Green is a good colour for a crayon, not a car, especially light green
Blue hair – Unless you are an old person, then it’s a requirement.
Red eyes – Leanr to use the red eye reduction mode on your camera, or stop taking pictures in the dark.
The Dutch (just kidding)

I have more, (like girls leaving the toilet seat down, what if we go in the middle of the night and pee on the seat?) but I guess that’s it for now. If you have any I would love to hear from you. I will publish any that you write, just click down below where it says comments. Until next time remember, no Payne no gain.
