Pet Peeve: 3/28/2011

Taking up two parking spaces!



I realized this was a pet peeve of mine over the weekend. I was having one of those days where everything seems to be preventing you from getting things done. I finally thought the day was picking up when I found a parking space for work right up front. When I whipped my car around to pull in to the space I found the spot  was occupied by the front tire of an oversized-dully truck. I was happy to leave him a note on why I felt this was not an appropriate way to park your car.

This bothered me a lot because the mall was very busy to begin with, and although his truck was large he could have easily fit into one parking space. It seems to me people do this trick because the do not want others parking near them. You may achieve this but remeber that out of all of those people you kept from being able to park are not happy about it. I was descent enough to leave a simple note, but the next person may not be so courteous and leave a key mark instead.

Everyone has pet peeves that bother them a little and bother them a lot. Even if you consider yourself a highly tolerant person there are still little things that make your hairs raise. I listed 8 pet peeves below that I feel are universally frowned upon.

Rate your pet peeves on a scale of 1-10, with 1 being the LEAST obnoxious and 10 being the MOST obnoxious.
  • suck-ups
  • nose picking
  • overly talkative people
  • people that stare
  • laziness
  • burping
  • people that talk while yawning
  • annoying voices
  • Rudeness
  • bad hygiene 

 Mine are the following:

1.) Burping
2.) People that talk while yawning
3.) Nose picking
4.) Annoying voices

5.) Laziness...I work full time and go to school full time; I hate seeing people get things handed to them without any effort.

6.) Overly talkative people...this bothers me the most when I am clearly busy doing something else or if I am trying to get off the phone with someone.

7.) Suck-ups...we have a few of these at Brenau.

8.) People that stare...especially when you're trying to have a private conversation!

9.) Bad Hygiene...this one comes from a guy that I dated that quickly turned into a break-up when I realized he never brushed his teeth! He had the same speck of food stuck between his teeth for 3 separate dates! Are you kidding me?!

10.) Rudeness...I think this one comes from working in customer service for the past 8 years.

Pet Peeve: 3/7/11

A huge pet peeve of mine is not finishing a task that is so close to being done!
 It drives me nuts when my manager pulls me away from a  project to starts a new one. Even though I have started the new task; I am still thinking of the old one.
I also don't see how people can drop out of school when they may only have a year or a semester left.
 I can't stand the thought of not completing everyting I want to in life so I have created a bucket list. I also find that I work better with a timeline so I have made this list to be completed before I am 30.
