PET PEEVES

ANNOYING THINGS

when you've made the first comment to a hub, and you never get a response, positive or negative

when you are told to discontinue doing something, but those around you are still doing it

that to wrap a fruit roll-up around your finger and suck on it for 2 hours is socially unacceptable

you find you have to preface the majority of what you say with 'I can't remember if I've mentioned this to you before'

yet you find you can't forget someone you spent an hour with 8 years ago

And, don't you hate it when

by the time you have enough money to see the world, you'll be too old to enjoy it

and what's up with a store you've just made a purchase in that asks for your zip code?

you realize braving a hurricane wasn't a wise idea

finding an old 'to do' list that remains undone

saving old magazines that you 'intended' to read now constitute a fire hazard

wait staff, having honed the timing of their question to an art, ask 'how is everything?' when your mouth is full

a moment of serenity reveals how crazy your life really is

the greatest expression of love most people receive is at their funeral

the days when 'I don't know' was an acceptable answer

vegetarians are preachy

you rearranged the furniture, only to find that it looked better the way you had it

you're dumb enough to feel good about spending $49 instead of $50

your grandchild teaches you how to use the features on your cell phone

you remember days when people said you looked good, and meant it

how productive we were before email and the internet

we refuse to watch Jeopardy because it makes us feel dumb

you have no choice but to go through several menus to reach a live person

the lights are left on

garbage isn't taken out

the last of something is used, and nobody told you

you discover upon arriving for your dr appt that you left your referral at home

you get ready for a big party, arrive at the destination, to find that it was held the night before

Life's little irritations,,,,,and last but not least, waking up thinking you have to get ready for work, and it's your day off.
