PET PEEVES

So, last night on the way home there I was on the bus, sandwiched between a woman talking entirely too loudly on her nextel phone--walkie talkie setting--and the abdomen of the guy who did not seem to realize that the "window" he stood next to was really a hole, while in the distance, the bus driver chewed gum tommy-gun style. I about lost it--though got it together before doing anything stupid--like yelling or hitting--on public transit. So, today I therapeutically blog some of my favorite pet peeves...at least the ones I thought up today (I have LOTS of pet peeves):

• Not pushing in a chair when you get up
• Nextel phones
• Walking two abreast on the sidewalk and neglecting to change to single file when encountering opposing traffic
• Chewing gum while making the continuous, tommy-gun style popping sounds
• Chewing anything with your mouth open—‘open’ meaning that one’s lips aren’t tightly together
• Commercials with any sort of eating noises
• Not knowing the difference between inside voice and outside voice
• Asking, “What does this mean to you?” about Scripture
• PowerPoint fill-ins
• Leaving the drawer open
• Not replacing the toilet paper
• Curly-haired people who think straight hair is better
• Straight-haired people who think curly hair is better
• Doing silly things to one’s appearance in worship of youth (ladies, you really can be too mature for short skirts and, guys, we all know you’re bald. Get over it.)
• Bus operators who stare blankly when you show your pass

So, if you know me and do these...duck.
