I know all of you have completed your pet peeve lists, I’ve been complying mine for a while. They are NOT in order of “most vile” just random words filled with utter frustration!
DISCLAIMER: I am NOT responsible for any hurt feelings, these are my (meaning I own them) pet peeves therefore I am ultimately responsible for dealing with them (i.e. communicating them to you). This is NOT my way of delivering them to you; if something really annoyed me (for those that don’t know me) I would have called you out already. However, if you still find something in this list you feel incriminates you, it is just the memory I am telling here, NOT the opening of old wounds! ENJOY!!
My pet peeves:
1. People who park in drive ways knowing they’ll be the first to leave, making everyone who parks be hide them move their cars to let them out!
2. People who call and say they will be late BUT are already 10-20 minutes LATE. Ummm you kinda knew you were gonna BE LATE when our appointment time had come AND GONE.
3. People who regularly apologize for not getting back to you. The reality is, they didn’t want to do whatever you requested so they electively “spaced” so they didn’t have to say “NO”
4. Oh right, people who can’t say “no” (see above)
5. People who come LATE to potlucks. You are bringing food; therefore people will probably be eating it. So lets eat all the food at the same time. YES, be on time if you are bringing dessert. If I know the only dessert is fruitcake, I wouldn’t bother saving room.
6. People who think my husband I share the same traits. I AM NOT GUILTY BY ASSOCIATION!! Yes I understand the whole “we are one” thing but we are still different people. Here are a few examples; my husband can be a recluse however I am for the most part out going. My husband may not mind being late (see 2 and 5) but I like being on time if not a little early. I like sweets he does not. I like wearing black he prefers colors, I love my husband so I wear colors. Xoxo
7. Drivers who speed up or slow down when you’ve turned on your blinker to merge, change lanes or GET AROUND THEM!! YOU SAW MY BLINKER B*TCH! (it’s an old rap song)
8. People who use parenthesis to much, GUITY!! (hand raised)
9. E-mails with one or BOTH of the following: “fwd, Fwd FWD” or three HUNDRED pages of To and From’s. GREAT now I know your boss is an ass and my aunt, pastor and pharmacist are bigots!
10. HOAX E-MAILS, nuf said! EVEN WORSE; ones with #9
11. Mothers who respond, “I’d rather not.” when my son reaches to play with one of their child’s toys. You’re in a room full of babies; it’s called a play date!! If you’re a germaphobe stay home! I would have preferred being told, “my child has a cold” rather than feel you think my kid’s not good/clean/white enough to play with your child. This pet peeve was the fuel I needed to post! Thanks (middle finger extended)
OK I think that’s good for now, I’m VERY sure there are more but I don’t want to look like a totally hateful b*tch. I’ll settle for just bitchy. xoxo
