I would be interested in learning about your pet peeves. Your REAL pet peeves. I think it is a funny way to learn about people. Often, when meeting someone, a person is asked, "what kind of things to do you like?" I usually enjoy asking people what they dislike.
I am not necessarily asking for phobias (i have shared some of those before).....more asking about the every day stuff that really annoys you but that others might not care about.
I got to thinking that today my be a good day because a few people have posted that they are in bad moods, so that means it is a good time to vent.
Also, Socal's post about goatees, spurred me because it always bugs me if people erroneously refer to them as goatees when they really are not.
Some of mine, although I have a million. I think I will add to this whenever I feel like venting because I seriously have a bunch of these.
1. When people say they are eating "yams" for thanksgiving but they really mean sweet potatoes. get your tubers straight. Unless you shop at a foreign food market, you are not eating yams. This one is rampant at this time of year
2. When a phone conversation is ending and you have said goodbye and are about to hang up and you hear the other person say, "OH WAIT, DONT HANG UP!!!......" Totally annoys me.
3. When someone in the office (always a woman) dives into the bagels/muffins, but cuts half of one and leaves it there with the rest. It gets all dry and nobody winds up eating it.
4. When I am on the phone and someone (maybe my wife or my sisters) insist on talking me at the same time..."Don't forget to tell your mom that we are coming over at noon!"......"ask them if they are still coming to the party!"......"tell her to call me later!"
5. Another phone one. I get off the phone, hang up, go sit back down....my wife asks, "who was that on the phone? what did they say?" I dont know why that bothers me so much, but I figure that if the call was for you, I would tell you.
Sheesh, I have a ton of these, but I will save them for later.
