Pet Peeves

I visit places, I walk around and observe others...
Why do some things, or some people Upset Me???

1. Manners
  • The basic tenant of manners seems to have disappeared
    • Ball caps and watch caps are worn inside restaurants, churches & elevators
    • Holding the door for people... man or woman
    • Not interrupting during someone's conversation
    • Swearing in public--around children
    • Having cell phones ring in restaurants or theaters, or during presentations
2. "The World revolves around ME"
  • Some people seem to act as if no one else is around
    • On airplanes...shoes come off (and smell), rules are not followed (cell phones)
    • That interrupting thing again...not in the heat of argument, but in ALL conversation
    • Rules are for other people, not me--I am more special
3. Arrogance
  • They know that they have all the answers--and they are willing to "correct" you ALWAYS
  • POLITICIANS (may have their own section)
4. Discipline
  • Unruly children seem to be everywhere
    • They act like they can do anything, because they are kids
    • Parents will not correct them... they prefer to have their kids be their friends
  • Young men and women dressing, well... maybe I just don't understand it...
    • Boys who obviously are from affluent parents mimicking inner-city kids
    • Baggy pants (riding so low that underwear is prominently displayed)
    • Girls (not "of age") wearing clothes that make them look--you get the picture
    • The low rider pants and belly-shirt trend utilized by clinically obese people
5. Politicians
  • Bush
  • ANY KENNEDY...Especially TEDDY
  • Rumsfeld
  • Cheney
  • Clinton and his Teflon attitude
  • Hillary
  • Basically... all president's (except Ronnie) after Ike
  • Ted Stevens---and all congressmen who serve more than two terms
6. Organized Religions
  • Any door to door religion telling me that their religion is the only true one...
  • Any TV evangelist... They all ask for money--right?? Check out their sights, their buildings, their clothes and their jewelry










































I'm tired... more later....

The point is this: People piss me off... see the above...
