Pet Peeves

At the risk of sounding negative, I've decided to list my pet peeves (in no necessary order):

Shorter people (i.e. Flynn) getting between me & the destination (i.e. sink) & being fine with being sandwiched there while I try to finish what I'm doing.

People NOT YIELDING at yield signs. Like, um, hello? what is it you think you're supposed to do at a YIELD SIGN? (do I hear a Town Talk in the works??)

People who never put down their cell phone. You can at least ask the person you're chatting with to hold on while you finish peeing in the public bathroom.

Walmart.

People who don't make their kids mind in public. Like when we were at the Magic House Friday. And the lady who wouldn't quit gossiping with her friend to tend to her 6-year old son who was SCREAMING IN MY 2-YEAR OLD DAUGHTER'S FACE & not letting her go by him up the steps. That kid better hope he doesn't end up in Mr. Perry's science class when he's in 8th grade.

Paybacks.

People who don't walk on the RIGHT (vs left) side. Like at the mall. Like on the sidewalk. And the worst is going through doorways.

GET OVER!

Speaking of the mall. For crying outloud, IF YOU'RE GOING TO STOP & CHAT WITH SOMEONE OR BE REALLY SLOW, DON'T STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC.

Walmart.

If you smoke, that's your business. But should you be standing outside of a health facility (doctor's office, hospital, etc.) breathing smoke into my air as I walk in or out?

That kinda doesn't make sense to me.

People who are judgemental but then do something even dumber in the same respect. i.e. people who criticize parents who let their kids suck a binky at one age, but they're still giving their kid a bottle or vica versa. Like me, ripping on a big kid at church who sucks a binky, yet I just changed my brilliant two year old's DIAPER.

When people leave the room & have no intention of returning to that particular room anytime in the near future (i.e. bathroom), yet they fail to turn off the light.

Walmart.

When I'm attending something (i.e. a class or a similar event) & am promptly on time (if not a little early), yet we wait for late people & then cater to them by repeating what was said in their "absence".

Service employees, people meant to SERVE, acting like you're supposed to serve them. Have you forgotten, that your paycheck is generated because of my purchases? Okay, then HELP ME! For example, while I was shopping for a white noise machine for my light sleeping Gabe, at Target (I continue to ask myself why we spend thousands per year there) & no one could HELP ME. So, with the three kiddos in tow, I'm hauling around the store, in search of the machine, of an employee, of the golden gnome. Anything. Please, somebody just help me.

Covering cigarette smoke up with perfume.

People who release RANCID gas in tight, public spaces. Like one time when I got onto an elevator where I man was getting off of the elevator (although I didn't pay attention, he was probably snickering) & I was about to VOMIT. My eyes were tearing & my brows were singed. I was dry heaving like a cat coughing up a hairball.

Walmart.

A crabby 32-year old woman who has nothing to complain about, yet she's compiled a list of 20 or so.
