Crumbs in the butter and other Pet Peeves!

Crumbs in the butter and other Pet Peeves:

When someone else borrows or uses the truck/car and doesn't put the seat and steering wheel and radio back the way they found it.

Bathrooms with only the blow dry your hands machine and doors that must be touched to open.

I have seen people (specifically co-workers) who don't use soap (water alone contributes to bacteria growth) when "washing" their hands. What good is it for me to wash my hands and then grab the handle, or twist open the knob, after someone who didn't wash properly? At least give me some paper towel to open the door with, or put an automatic door button I can press with my elbow.

I hope that I don't offend anyone but my pet peeve is when someone makes a mistake and says "my bad". Saying "my bad" is not an apology.

The appropriate response would be pardon me, excuse me, I am sorry, or I apologize.

Pet Peeve: Someone asking what I do for a living in the first 30 seconds of knowing me

When having a conversation with someone and telling them you had an accident and they talk about their even WORSE accident, or if you talk about your kid winning something, they talk about their kid winning something BIGGER or BETTER.

I'm not a germaphobe but non-consensual germs must die.

The guy that spent half an hour sweating all over the treadmill next to me that did not wipe it down when he got off of it. Just made his way out the door like his sweat and germs were an offering or something. Bleh.

One uppers! As a reformed one upper, I apologize. To be fair, it was more of a 'finding something to relate to' aka "OMG, me too!!!!" thing for me but I have since changed my ways for the better.

A huge peeve for me, I hate when the steering wheel attacks my knees, said the tall girl!

Looking down the street AFTER trash pick-up day and seeing all of the bins bent and tossed in yards or laying in the road with garbage blowing around. I mean really...if it's in bags, SEALED, it shouldn't be blowing around, and the trashmen need to take it easy on the bins and just lay them up by the sidewalk so that they don't impede traffic and shit.

I try not to let it bother me TOO much. Pet peeve is awful punctuation.

I am used to seeing terrible grammar, and I forgive it, heck I make mistakes sometimes... but there seems to be a rampage of insane punctuation these days.

I want to shout: Folks, you don't use an apostrophe because you make something plural!

Okay, I said it, and I feel better now.

People who bring tired hungry hot children to store and either let them scream the whole time or torture them into screaming more and louder. Especially the jerks that smack or humiliate or intimidate little ones.

I have interceded more than once. Will continue to do so.

When someone offers *suggestions*, *alternatives* and such and when you decline them gets downright ticked off.

Negative people who can't see the good in anyone or anything. Their negativity is like an endless bzzzzzzzing in the ear. Shutupshutupshutup!
