Pet Peeves


So, it seems the world wants to share their pet peeves...so, I'm game.
1. Dirty Laundry on the floor. Or actually, this could be called, the floor as a storage area. It seems easy enough for some in my household to simply strip down and leave the clothes where they fall...having no concern for the fact that I don't particularly care to traipse over said laundry to get through my tiny bathroom, up the first few steps of my stairs, etc. What would take the offender half a second to put in a hamper, takes me twice as long. Plus, a little consideration anyone?
2. Procrastination. Mine in particular. I have a healthy supply of my own, why point a finger anywhere else. Just get it done, for goodness sake!
3. Emails which contain some dire warning at the end that if you don't pass on this idiotic drivel to some other poor unsuspecting friend, something bad will happen. Come on, I know I'm not that stupid or superstitious and I keep thinking my friends can't be either....but I still keep getting those emails. I'm warning everyone right now...don't send them to me, they go immediately to the trash bin, without passing go or collecting $200. And so far, my computer hasn't crashed, my world hasn't come to an end, and I still seem to have friends even though fate and the email fairy should have 'taken care of me' by now with the thousands of warnings I've axed.
4. Let me be the next in line to add 'Drama' to the list. How is it that there are enough people in this world that have such a lack of drama in their own lives that Jerry Springer and Reality TV (of any kind) still have growing viewership?
5. Deleted - Please refer to #6. *chuckles*
6. Complaining, which is why I'm ending this list now, as I've already fallen into the trap myself. I try my earnest best to accept others as they are and work on myself, but sometimes I find myself muttering under my breath....a sure sign it's time to let it go. Complaining only begets more complaining in my humble opinion.
