pet peeves...

Being a Type-A person, I recognize that I have many pet peeves. So many that I am able to break them into categories…

VEHICULAR NUISANCES
Please Pull up to the Line
– It annoys the heck out of me when people come to a stop light but leave like an entire cars length between their car and the line that indicates where you should stop. What’s the deal with that? Sometimes I just want to back my car into that space just to show them how much room they’ve left.
Left Lane Chatters – first of all, if you are not going the speed limit or above please don’t enter the left lane. Secondly, if you are going to answer your phone and drop your speed 10mph, don’t enter the left lane. If you insist on using your phone in the left lane, maintain your speed and use an ear piece.
Four-way Cheaters – seriously, everyone knows the rules at the four way stop. Wait your turn!
School Zone Speeders – Is your job/life so important that you can’t take the extra 20 seconds to SLOW DOWN in the school zone?

PUBLIC DISTURBANCES
Personal Space Please
– When I’m at the soda fountains filling up my cup, it is really necessary for you to barge in and use the neighboring spout? Seriously, I’ll be done in like 30 seconds and it is all yours. Thanks.
Gym Girls – Sure, I don’t take off my wedding ring when I’m working out. But really, how can you work out in your costume jewelry? And with your hair hanging down your back? I promise guys will think you are a lot hotter if you are actually working out at the gym.
Grocery Store Guidelines – Is it me, or do you assume that traffic rules apply to the grocery store lanes? I’m very conscious of this while I’m shopping, and am sure to stay on the right side of the aisle. Other people, not so much. How I am suppose to get past when both of you are hogging the aisle headed the same direction? Courtesy please.

APPAREL WOES
(Please let me say that in no way are any of these statements meant to offend anyone. If you do or wear any of these things, I apologize – just one girls opinion)
Socks with Sandals – Don’t do it, EVER.
Capris – Sorry, I know a lot of people love them, they just bug me.
Knee High Boots with Bare Legs – Don’t know what it is, just don’t like it.
White High Heels – Just can’t do it.

I’m sure there are many, many more things that truly bug me. I’ll just have to add them on as I think of them. These were just the ones on the top of my mind.
