Serious pet peeves (his and mine).

I’ve got my fair share of pet peeves.  And over the course of the last year, my dad has shared his with me.  I’ll give you my top 10 and then his:

Mine:

1. People who put their makeup on while driving.
2. Double negatives.
3. People who don’t use their blinker (because I got a ticket this year for not using my blinker).
4. When you bite into a jelly bean and it’s a different flavor than what you thought it was.
5. When you have to go to a UPS / FEDEX office to pickup a package.
6. Chasing after a ping pong ball.
7. People who take up two parking spots.
8. People who ding my car with their door and walk away (even when I’m in the car!).
9. Having more than one remote control.
10. People who leave shopping carts in the parking lot instead of taking them back to the corral.

His:

1. When you go to pay your bills and  that portion of the bill that has to be returned with your check has its perforations for detachment  in a non-folded part of the bill.
2. Why is it that when I’m in a rush and waiting behind a person who has been on a coffee line as long as I have, then when he finally gets to the cashier, he is still indecisive as to what he wants?
3. Waiting to make a left onto a broad one-way street, at a red light which has just turned green and behind another car whose driver feels obliged to wait for passage of the oncoming traffic even when they are in the far lane.
4. Republicans (sorry  – for some … I did not edit for content!)
5. Robot reply software.
6. People who talk to quickly.
7. Parking lots that have no attendant and require time consuming credit card swipes.
8. The need for an elaborate tool kit to open up a package of almost anything…food, electronics, CD’s, etc..
9. Street construction signs that remind me of my mortality by  telling  me to Prepare to Stop.
10. Street designation signs that are on the opposite side of a poorly illuminated street when I am driving at night and attempting to find a location.

Sadly, from my perspective, I could have written about 100 more!  But, why dwell on the negative!

Have a fantastic day!
