Pet Peeves!

[mimitabby]

I was behind a gasoline tanker truck yesterday...on the back was a huge red sign saying "Danger Inflammable"

Inflammable..?

I thought gasoline was highly flammable.....

(ok, it probably comes from the root "inflame", but it seems so...bass ackwards somehow...)

S.

inflammable was a word before flammable was. So many people got it mixed up that flammable is now considered a proper word.

Hmmmm....? Pet peeves??? Let start a list!

1.) Is when people use "too" and "to" wrong in a sentence....

2.) DRIVERS: Not using signals, or turning them on when they completely stop (I would have like to know a little before where you were going!), stopping at an enterance to a interstate. (Does it not say "yield?" ), going 15 mph in a 45 mph speed zone, (usually this is not a Sunday when this happens), people that drive past me at 70 mph and not move a single inch to the left of me when there is plenty of room, when I see trash being thrown out of a vehicle going down the hwy, (hmmm...? you wonder if they are that clean in there house or does trash land on the floor too?) I should quit while I am ahead.

3.) TRASH: The biggest pet peeve of mine. I live on a pretty busy hwy and it always happens that I have to pick up trash in the morning. It is usually Burger King or McDonalds litter. Hmmmm...? For some reason, I never see an empty granola bag...

4.) SMOKING: People that smoke around me and don't give any consideration in that maybe I don't want to breath in all the toxins that they are enjoying. People that smoke around their children, (I think it is getting a little better now.)

I am sure I have more, but I do not want ya'll to think that all I do is complain...Oh, but wait....That is all I do

when people call me at work and ask for someone's voicemail. once i explain that we don't have voicemail here, they refuse to leave a message with me with their name and number. what were you going to do on voicemail?

when people call me at home, get the answering machine and hang up and call back 10 more times and still don't leave a message. i didn't answer the first 9 times, do you think i'll answer this time?

general pet peeve: stupid people.

Sniffling drives me to irresolvable paranoid OCD minus the relief of the C. The only C is the CRAZY.

The worst kinds? The bored sniffler, the arrogant sniffler, or the just-needs-a-kleenex-but-is-too-lazy-to-blow sniffler--all of which involve an incessant rate of 5 seconds or less between sniffles.

People who come to work sick because they are "so busy." Give me a break. Get off of the cross & go home. I don't want your germs.

"Specially" instead of especially.

Apparently, nobody speaks anymore. They "like." For example, "I was like, give me the 411 dude."

Ditto thinking. "I was like, wow, this dude is really stoned." But, anybody who hangs around college campuses already knows that thinking is a lost art.

Just from today, can you tell I was at the mall today?

People who bring theri dogs with them inside stores/malls. I know this statement will not be well received. But that is how I feel. I LOVE animals. But they do not belong in the cosmetic aisle or being walked in the mall or in the dressing room. Leave your animal at home. Mine are at home.

People who let their little kids look under the bathroom stall doors. I never allowed my girls to do that, they came with me in the stall or they had to stand with thier backs to my door, while I went.

SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!!

I just thought of 2 things that really bother me....

1)..when a car turns right in front of me with out turning on their blinker.
2) someone throws out their hot cigarette butt when Im on my bike right behind them. Im sure I have more ,but these just happened to me this morning.

Grrrr. I really really hate it when smokers dump their whole disgusting ash tray out in a parking lot. It's bad enough they toss their butts whereever they feel like it, but when they purposely dump the ash tray, I go ape.
