Pet Peeves

I always tell people if they want to see me get upset, just be late for our appointment. 

Nothing gets under my skin more than people who have zero respect for time. If we agreed to meet at 2, I expect you to be there for 2 – 2:15 the latest. If you are running late, do me a favour by calling or texting me. Don’t expect me to know that you lost track of time or got stuck in traffic. I’m not a mind reader for heaven’s sake!

By being late, it shows me that you don’t respect me or my time.

I don’t know how many family members and friends I’ve blasted over the years for this.

Mind you, I’ve mellowed out over the past ten years. Unfortunately, I started doing what I hate the most – being late and not calling or texting whomever I was meeting. It’s gotten to the point where people expect me to be late. I don’t want to be known for that. As part of my Happiness Project, I’ve made a resolution to start being on time again.

Here are some other pet peeves that drive me insane:

1) People that wear socks with sandals. Socks are to be worn with sneakers only.

2) People that don’t spell check before sending an email. Some should do the same before sending a text.

3) Parents that make up their children’s name. I believe that every child’s name should have a meaning.

4) Men who do the whole “psssst” thing to get a woman’s attention. I’m sorry, do we look like dogs?

While looking on line for what others consider pet peeves, I couldn’t help but laugh at the following:

Couples who sit on the same side of the booth when there is no one on the other side

Couples that own a dog together and call themselves Mommy and Daddy

Anyone – male or female- who says “We’re pregnant”. Are they sharing a uterus?
