Crumbs in the butter and other Pet Peeves!

Complainers piss me off. ...

"If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all."

Say, you go to a restaurant, order fish and the waiter brings you chicken. Yes, this you're allowed to complain about. Politely. And without being a jerk. And then you're allowed to get over it. The server's mistake should not be the topic of conversation for the next 2 hours.

Is traffic bad? Yep. Probably. I don't know a city in the US where traffic isn't kind of sucky at some point during the day, most days. Get over it. Don't make me listen to your diatribe every time you get behind the wheel. Seriously. Turn on the radio and find your happy place.

Oh, is the line long at the grocery store? Probably. Expect it. Get over it. Move on. Don't make everyone in the store listen to you rant about the lack of minimum wage cashiers... no one wants to hear it (they can all see it) especially the hard-working cashiers.

I could go on but I think y'all get the picture.

Maybe my Polly Anna attitude irritates someone else out there. But you know what? I don't care. I try really hard to live and enjoy each moment in my day. And I'll never understand people who walk through life steeped in angst and loathing.

Smile for goodness sake! It doesn't hurt, it's free and it's freaking contagious
