Short fuse

 

 

I couldn't help myself this week but to participate in the Spin Cycle at Gretchen's this week.  This week's topic?  Pet Peeves.  For those of you who know me, you're probably laughing.  I have a bit of a....well...how do you say this?  Short fuse?  Lack of tolerance for anything annoying?  Yeah, that's me.

 

 

So, I thought...how do you handle this?  I think it might be best if I just list things that don't annoy me.  That list would be shorter.  But it wouldn't be as fun, so....these are not listed in any particular order:

 

 

1. People chewing loudly.
2. Crunching on ice.
3. Chewing noises in general.
4. Especially gum chewing.
5. Slurping
6. Gulping
7. Excessive sniffing
8. Men who wear way way too much cologne
9. Women who are older and try to dress like their teenage daughter
10. Dina Lohan
11. Kris Kardashian
12. oh wait, the entire Kardashian family in general
13. Add Kanye to that
14. People who drive the speed limit
15. People who ride my tail because I'm only going ten over the speed limit
16. (Sorry if any of you have these) but those stick figure families on the back of a car
17. People in Indiana who drive around with the Confederate flags on their car.  Seriously?  You live in Indiana.  And do you not know anything about American history?  Come on.
18. People who say garage, but it sounds like gararge.  Drives me nuts.
19. Repeating myself.
20. Seriously, I hate having to repeat myself.
21. Being underestimated because I'm young and female.  This happens a lot where I practice law.  Don't wake the snake, people.  I will and can cut you.
22. Dr. Oz
23. John Mayer
24. Douches
25.  Mr. Noodle on Elmo's World.  It's creepy and annoying that they keep asking him "hey, Mr. Noodle, how do you do this?" They correct him when he does it incorrectly.  Well, damn, kids, if you knew how to do it then why did you ask him in the first place.
26. Typing noises.  I'm annoying myself typing this right now.
27. People who don't know how to properly work a 4 way stop.
28. People who think Aubrey is all cute at church until she starts fussing.  Then they get all evil.
29. People who touch my kid.  Don't touch my kid.  I don't know what germs you have on you, and this kid has had pink eye and hand-foot-mouth.  I'm not playin', people.
30. Going grocery shopping on a weekend day.
31. Or really, going grocery shopping when I have to deal with people in general. 
32. Competition with kids - don't compare my kid with yours and make me feel like the world's worst mother.
33. People who come up to my daughter and ask how old HE is.  She's wearing pink, has a pink monkey, and a purple jacket. 
34. Wal-Mart or even having to walk into a Wal-Mart
35. My neighbor and his ridiculously loud douchey car. 
36. Ooh, I can't believe I forgot this - movies with animals in them that talk.  Not cartoon ones, but we're talking Air Bud or Dr. Doolittle.  I hate that crap.
37. Jewelry commercials at Christmas time.
38. Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer
39. When managers come up and bother you at restaurants right after the waiter has come to your table to see how the food tastes.  I don't need 20 people bothering me while I'm trying to eat.  Go away, please.
40. Lastly...people who talk on their cell phones in public bathrooms.

 

Like I said...no particular order for this list, and seriously, I'm not that hateful of a person.  I just get easily annoyed.  But this was fun!  So thanks, Gretchen!  That felt good getting that out and what not. But I'm sure I can come up with more.  Like Justin Bieber.  Or Miley Cyrus.

 

 

Okay, I need to stop.  Anyway, see what others have to share over at Gretchen's blog!  And have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
