    Pet Peeves

    Enough squabbling about political things you will never agree on or change your opponents opinion..... lets talk pet peeves.... List 'em!

    People that do not get up to speed when entering a highway.
    Close talkers/standers in public (especially these days).
    Nurse Paula can never close a cabinet door.


    carry on.

    To add on.

    People who do not yield at on ramps.
    People who talk with their mouth full of food.
    Those [ namely my wife ] who do not turn out lights when leaving a room.

    Three seams enough at this time.
    Individual rights are protected only as long as they don't conflict with the desires of the state .

    Doncha just hate it when

    *You get robot calls
    *businesses lock half of a double entrance door
    *your car decides to talk to you
    *raccoons poach from the cat’s dish
    *they put unordered pickles or mayonnaise on your burger

    One that comes to mind is our seeming acquired lack of knowing how to enter a highway from a ramp. Somehow there seems to have been a mass inversion on the meaning of the Yield sign---it is now seen as applying to the traffic on the left

    Possibly they do it for sport---just to watch everyone else scramble for space

    As for robo calls---I fight back

    My desk phone---for whatever reason---disconnects many of them if I push the speaker button to answer. For those that I decide to humor by answering, I pick up the receiver in my left hand as I reach for my goose call with my right. When someone--often from some far off land---actually comes on the line I great them very politely---and then as they begin with great hope----I blow that call right into the mouth piece---sometimes I even stay on the line to hear the reaction

    I know---it's mean---but some days I just need therapy
