This list is in no particular order and will be added to periodically when I think of something else that irritates me.
01. People who stop in the merge lane. Is it really necessary? The road was built with an accelleration lane for a reason...USE IT!
02. People in the mall who stop directly in front of you to have a conversation. MOVE TO THE SIDE or walk together to exchange numbers and talk about your "so called life." The other people populating the mall with you have more shopping to do.
02b. Please attend to your child while you're in the mall. No one REALLY wants to trample a child on purpose ---well, not everyone wants to do this. If you can't pay attention to your children and look in the shoe store window, keep your child on a leash if need be or have someone else watch them for you.
03. Speaking of children... there are PLENTY of childrens' movies in the theater. Find one and have your nasty snot of a child scream through that and not the Rated-R movie I spent $50 to see. I found a way to be child free, you should also.
04. The person driving on 66 with their left turn signal on, foot on the brake, talking on the phone. GET OFF THE ROAD!!!!! I have somewhere to go. Invest in a bluetooth headset or even a wired one and for GOD'S SAKE turn off that blinker!!!
05. The non-regulars at your favorite watering holes who can't hold their liquor. I do not want to see you puke, hear you puke, or smell you puke. Know when to say when. A true test of friendship is someone who says, "I think it's time to get you some fresh air." Find a true friend to hang out with next time or just stay home.
06. The parents who have no idea their 10 year old has a myspace page with an emicotion saying they're feeling "flirty." Really now??? In 2 to 3 years, those are the parents that will wonder how and why their little princess is knocked up by a snot-nosed, pimple-faced boy.
07. The question, "why don't you like me?" I think I tend to wear my emotions on my sleeve. If I don't like you, TRUST ME, you'll know it.
08. Stupidity. (need I say more on this?)
09. Lack of proper phone etiquette. If you're at work and answer the phone "Yeah?" I'm talking about you.
09b. If you call my phone and ask, "who's this?" I'm talking about you.
10. Gas station attendants that can't hear and/or got the job because their cousin manages the store. What part of "I want 2 packs of Benson & Hedges Menthol" says give me a pack of Virginia Slims? And YES I want the 2 pack discount! I've been coming here longer than you've been working here. I know this store does the 2 pack discount. Didn't you see at the sign posted on the front door when you came to work all week????
11. Women who insist on walking around in public without a bra. Seriously now!!!! If you've bought them, you can be the judge.Whatever you feel like. If you have anything bigger than a small B cup, you need wear a bra. Only exceptions are at the pool in a bathing suit and at home. Keep that off the streets. High beams should NOT face down or to either side.
