List #1 Pet Peeves

Back in high school I had this counselor who thought it would be a bright idea for me to make lists in order to calm myself. Little did he know I’m a tad on the OCD side and that I try to avoid lists to calm myself. I must have flipped a lid because I’ve decided that lists aren’t so bad. List #1…
Pet Peeves:

People who didn’t learn to walk on the right side of the sidewalk or walk in the right door. We did learn this in 1st grade right? And for those who walk on the left and refuse to move for those of us who did learn this concept forcing us off the sidewalk is just plain rude!

Being corrected. This should actually be number one. I’m not saying I can’t take criticism; I strongly believe that you learn through criticism. But when it comes to stupid things like who is getting money back from the government you might as well shoot me if you plan on correcting me. Did I really care you weren’t getting money and I was? P.S. I didn’t, I miss filed. HA!

Talking at the movies. I understand that theaters are a social gathering place and talking before the previews begin helps pass the time. When the lights dim so should your mouth. This doesn’t just apply to the theater. When I’m watching a movie at home the same rule applies. I like to pay attention to movies.

Picking up other’s commonly used phrases. I am guilty of this one. “I know, right?” Comes from my mom. And I have picked several more up from you Whitney.

Guys wearing girly jeans. Correction, guys wearing the most awkward jeans possible. I don’t know why we say “I hate it when guys where girls’ jeans” because we wouldn’t wear those either!

Like. I hate people overusing it and I hate that I count how many times a sacrament speaker uses it rather than paying attention to the spiritual lesson they are no doubt sending my way.

Every movie that has come out in the past year or two that could be remotely interesting on a higher thinking level is R. I do love a good chick flick or comedy but does every movie based on a historical scope have to have the hot guy's blood and guts spilling out all over the screen?

The large amount of phone calls I’ve been getting from numbers that don’t exist or have been disconnected. I normally leave these alone but sometimes I feel like a good yell. And then I call and there’s no one there to yell at.

Why have I forgotten politics? Oh yes, because I hate arguing politics with people who don’t know what they are saying. Or better yet those who in the end agree with you but who are still arguing.

And of course, being pulled over for no reason. It has happened twice now in the past year. How many of you really think the police are doing a great job of spending your hard earned money on pulling over me?
