Bow saving I can understand, but saving wrapping paper to re-use next year, not so much!

That's not the only reason some people save wrapping paper, homoe. If I get a present wrapped in paper that I think I can reuse in a craft project, I'll try to save as much of it as possible.

Oh it is and I know. I enjoy reading many of your posts in here a lot. To be fair, you did say 'but not always' when you were being critical of the thrifty types who save wrapping paper. I was simply presenting a different viewpoint about saving holiday stuff.

I actually think it's kind of cute when people do that. It shows that they have great consideration and care for all parts of the gift they received. I think that's a wonderful thing, especially in this day and age.

People that stand too close.

Especially if I'm in a conversation with someone whether it's a stranger or someone I don't know very well and they step closer to be near me and in my personal space. My personal bubble isn't huge but I do like to have some personal space.

I wonder if people even realize they are doing this and do they even notice when someone steps back away from them because they're too close? eyebrow:

when you are unloading your groceries on the belt to be checked out and the person behind starts putting theirs there also. Not even a partition put down. I got it the other day and said DO YOU MIND? WAIT!
I really hate this. They like to push their cart closer behind you as well.

It has been my experience that folks personal space may be cultural or a power play. I had a boss that stood on the end of my nose. I could smell her lunch. I believe that for her it was cultural but just to cover myself in case it was about power I never backed up.

Don't overcook the bacon! Put mayo on either the lettuce leaf or tomato slices NEVER on the toast, and ALWAYS cut on the diagonal ...

OK this really gets me. The 8 episode tv series season. I think that's a really shitty way to treat your loyal fans who pay your salary by watching your show. That one gets me lately. Don't give me a little 8 episode teaser then make me wait a fucking year for more.
