My Pet Peeves

My top 10 Peeves:
Ranked from least to most annoying.
10. People who don't use their turn signal.
9. Teens and twentysomethings that keep their pants up by walking funny. God that's annoying.
8. People who have not learned to park their vehicle properly.
7. Men who leave the seat up.
6. Women who hover.
5. Crooked pictures on the wall.
4. People who talk with each other while you are giving a presentation.
3. Turning around to go back for something you forgot.
2. Spoiled rotten rugrats.
1. People who don't recycle.
Just a few issues still to work on.
I have left people notes on their car asking them where they learned to park. On one, the car had a military base pass sticker and identified them as a Colonel. So I wrote, "Hey Colonel, Didn't they teach you how to park in the military?"
I must tell you that my boy is not one to leave the seat up, if anything he has to remind me every so often to shut the lid.
99.8% of the time, I never go back for whatever I have forgotten. Except the other day. Leaving for work one morning. Got down the street, forgot my girlfriends catalog. Went back. Got it, started out again. Got to the first traffic light. Forgot my inhaler. Went back. Got it, started out again. Got to the middle of the next block. Forgot the credit card. Went back. Got it, started out....again! Suffering succotash. Got to work. Spent an hour or so doing piddly things, grabbed my keys and bag to go to Denver. Got to the top of the stairs. "Pam, did you get the mail for Denver?" says Mary. Nope. Went back. Got it, started for the stairs again. "Pam, you going to Denver?" says Brenda. "Can you take this box?" Yup. Went back. Made it to the bottom of the stairs. No Jeep keys. Jesus Mary and Joseph. Back up the stairs. Got the keys. Back down the stairs. "Pam, which branch you going to? Wouldn't be Denver would it?" Yup. "Can you take this box of forms?" Yup. Back the Jeep to the door, open the hatch, load the stuff...."One more box Pam!".
Saints preserve me.

Some days, it almost doesn't pay to get up, does it? Lol!
Good God, woman! LOL
Ok... I HAVE to ask. When you say "women that hover"... are you referring to hovering over the toilet? Am I the only one that's confused?! LOL
I loved your list...
:)

LOL!!! Now -- tell me, with regard to "women who hover" ... it's the next peeve after leaving the seat up. So -- am I to think 'hovering' as in women who do not sit on a toilet seat (public?) OR is it women who hover around you ... invade your space and make a general nuisance of themselves? 'Cuz I gotta tell ya ... I'll hover every time before I EVER sit my ass down on a 'strange' toilet seat. :~)
Yeah.....that would be the correct interpretation Wendy and M. "Hovering" refers to women who are afraid to sit on the toilet sit and so hover over the toilet. They usually miss and or splash and then when I sit down.....
Now if it's really a bad bathroom and I really, really have to go, then I have been known to hover. But the back of your thighs are no diritier than the front. The parts that you need protecting from, don't usually touch anything. I would be more afraid of their dirty hands on the door, the faucet and soap dispenser then the back of their thighs!! LOL
So, I won't hold it 'gainst ya Wendy. I know how gals are. Just be neat and wipe the seat!! TEehehe
I agree with alot of those too...and the "going back" thing would drive me crazy!
Hahaha..I agree with your comment about the door/faucet/soap dispenser. I cringe when I have to use the inside door handle on a public bathroom. I think I'm becoming a borderline germ freak..AAACK!!!

#9 made me laugh. Walking funny. Now I have to watch for that. Cuz I live in the L.A.nd of Weird Pants.
