    My "peeves" are more general in nature... remember I'm an old lady and am easily irritated so forgive me my irritants.

    1) I am out somewhere nice, its beautiful and peaceful out and all of a sudden some whiny little kids came screeming in and there's not a parent in sight. Just my take, nowadays, some little kids are allowed entirely too much freedom. They have no manners or consideration for others.

    2) People who talk on cell phones everywhere. No I am not interested in your conversation!

    3) People who do not know how to fix their drink at a fast food place. Get in line, get your ice, fill your cup and move away for the next person. I've literately had to stand behind some idiot who fills their cup and sips, and fills and sips while there is a line behind them. Also, parents who let their little kids mess around with the drinks... OK when no where else is around, but when it's busy - fill their cups for them. PLEASE!

    4) Sortof of the same thing... people who believe the world rotates around them. They drive 3 miles an hour looking for an address and block traffic. They stop their grocery cart right in the middle of the aisle so people can't get around, they chat on a cell phone in a retail line so the clerk and people behind them have to wait... people who talk in theaters... that sort of thing.

    5) People who smoke and think its OK to dump their nasty butt on the ground. People who litter in general. Do they also do this in their own home? I entirely don't get the cigarette dumping thing.

    Sorry - I realize I sound like a cranky old woman... but then again, I am!

    Amen! I just had to be that person at lunch. My husband's doctor's office called while I was wandering through Linens N Things. I answered the call only to be asked if he was still constipated. Fortunately, the store was empty.

    Has anyone heard the Bud Light commercial for the real men of genius? One of the ads is "Mr. Way Too Loud Cell Phone Talker", it is really funny.
