Crumbs in the butter and other Pet Peeves!

*Anya* · 08-10-2013, 08:16 AM

My GF says to me the other day: "you are so much more mellow than you used to be".

Not really. I have a shitload of things that bug me. I just have learned to pick my battles better:

1. Loud people. Like in the movies or in a restaurant. STFU!

2. Parents that allow their kids to run and scream in restaurants. ( there is a whole thread somewhere here in BFP on "is it ok to take your kids to an expensive restaurant"? Uh, not if they are allowed to run and scream, no).

3. People that chew gum with their mouth open, snap their gum, blow bubbles and pop them! Not even talking about children, talking about adults. It is like nails on a chalkboard for me.

4. Radios with heavy metal on the beach: up really loud. Actually, I prefer the old days, when people went to the beach and just listened to the waves.

What a concept but I guess I have become my mother and am an old fart now.

5. I can't even get started about wind chimes.

Noise sensitivity: When I was 30, noise did not bother me nearly as much as it does now.

*Sigh*

People that are so discourteous that instead of being patient and letting you complete your statement or thought, they interrupt you. This is something most people learn, as a child, that is rude.
