Pet Peeves!

**pyxichick** · 09-12-2006, 10:02 AM

For some reason the kids around here have started saying "right on" when they mean to say "okay," or "yes," or "that's really cool" or "I agree. "

I've heard it so much lately, that "right on" has replaced my former number one annoying phrase, "my bad," which had previously unsettled "it's all good."

I always thought "my bad" was an acknowledgment of goofing up like in "oh I spilled the beans... my bad!" An apology.

-people who circle around the parking lot looking for a close in space when the back of the lot is empty - at the gym

-people who stop at a red light and then turn on their left turn indicator just as the light turns green, thus trapping the person behind them

-people who tell me I am "lucky" that my kids are "easy" rather than realizing just how had dh and I work to have well behaved children

-the abreviation gyno for gynocologist. I don't know why, it just sounds vulgar to me

-speed bumps

I know that I have pet peeves. Why? Because I'm not perfect.

I'm having a human experience here on planet Earth LOL

Okay, just want to provide some food for thought here...

The thing is that when I object to someone else's behavior, I really feel it is because the person is mirroring something in me that is similar. For instance, when I get annoyed at my mother-in-law for being so neat and immaculate, I wonder at times if it's because I also like order and neatness. However, I'm just not motivated to clean my house every day (once a week is doable, however). My dear MIL mirrors that part of me that wants a clean house too...and well, my jealousy

I like the idea that sometimes those that are toughest to love are the ones who need it the most

Yeah, it's hard for me to still swallow this, but it really felt true for me.

I know that I probably do things that would be considered one of your pet peeves

I sometimes drive slow...or fast. Once in while, I may giggle very loudly in public. I slurp my tea loudly at times (I want to get every last drop). I often have poor grammar and punctuation (especially on message boards). I like to sing at times when I ride my bike, especially my mountain bike LOL.

But, underneath all of the 'annoying' stuff, I am a great person. I'm a good listener. I have compassion and if you're my friend, I'd walk a million miles uphill in the rain and snow for you. I care about people and that is what matters...in my own heart.

So...for me, what matters most is if there is love underneath the outward appearances and other 'annoyances'.

Just wanted to get this off my chest and share my own personal truth and provide food for thought.

With peace and love...and loving intentions...

People who are too nice! - Just kidding Yogabear!

Wow, guess this one hit a nerve. Glad I'm not the only one who gets peeved now and then. Thanks for sharing.

**slinkedog** · 09-12-2006, 12:55 PM

Thanks for the good food, Yogabear.

**yogabear** · 09-12-2006, 12:59 PM

Wow, guess this one hit a nerve.

This thread hit a nerve with me...It caused me to look at myself in a deeper way...that's all. It's actually quite hard to offend me, seriously

Much love to all...

Sorry, I hope I didn't offend anyone with all my complaining...I guess. it just depends how full the moon is when I get irritable and have to complain about something...I drive my dh mad and a young veterinarian that I work with. I tell him that I am training him so that he knows what it will be like when he gets married! LOL It does feel good to vent sometimes...Oh, wait..I do it a lot! LOL

Heidi,

Hey, I'm all for venting

It's a good release...it's nice to blow off steam and let go...very healing

I'm all about releasing the old so the new can enter. And, I don't think you offended anyone

I didn't mean a nerve in you...I just meant that it hit home with just about everyone...that we all have our little pet peeves. Hope I didn't offend.

Thank you for the reply..

Biking Goddesses,

Never think that you offend anyone

We're so used to not speaking our truth as women...I say express yourself, girlfriends! Express whatever is in your heart and on your mind...and yes, vent too

Oops, forgot to add the part about dancing naked! LOL
