I've decided to compile a list of the silly things in life that irritate me. I'm a very happy person, so do not take this as a list of doom and gloom. Rather, I'd like others to read this and have those...."Oh, ME TOO! I HATE that!" moments. By all means, your pet peeves are more than welcome additions to the list. Your pet peeves can be something that happens in your work place, home, in public, or even from the media. I hope this turns into a funny list we can all enjoy! =D
1.) Why does the guy in the 1992 hunter green Chevy Cavalier five cars behind me insist on honking in bumper to bumper traffic? Oh, that's right! I forgot Lloyd in the back was coming through! Let's all part like the Red Sea so the king of the road can get to where he has to go. His journey through suburbia is obviously much more important than anyone else’s. Silly me.
2.) I will never understand why denim jeans commercials (Lee, Levis, etc.) insist on using emaciated models taking OFF their jeans as advertisement. I thought the idea was to sell jeans, not cotton underwear/ boxers. I know when I get a new pair of jeans, I can't wait to wear them and keep them on long enough for others to see how they look. I understand sexuality makes for a great sales pitch, but c'mon....they're jeans!
3.) Anyone who knows me well enough knows I love coupons. I love a bargain. I do not love when the person ahead of me in line at the supermarket is buying one can of coffee and they insist on using EVERY SINGLE coupon in their wallet/ bag. The cashier cannot possibly use all of these money saving specials, and he/ she surely can't just GIVE you the can of coffee.
"It's already on sale, but here's my bonus card, and the triple coupon special, and my friends and family discount card, and the rain check I got on this sale item five weeks ago....."
4.) Bike- racks. They scare the be-Jesus out of me. I hate driving behind the family of nine that are going on a cross- country mountain biking journey. I can see those bikes just flying off and scattering all over the Parkway faster than the flying monkeys in The Wizard of Oz. It could potentially turn into Final Destination part Five if the biking Brady Bunch doesn't have those contraptions strapped on securely.
(P.S.- I don't even know how to ride a bike, therefore I do not want to die via faulty bike-rack.)
