Pet Peeves.

Pet peeves! Plain and simple, we all have them.

The other night I went to a movie with a friend and after having the "please turn off your cell phones and texting devices" screen stuck on the large screen for several minutes before the movie started, people still ignored it. During the movie, one cell phone rang (out loud) - causing the person to answer it and talk for a short while and another one was never put away because texting was too important. I should probably note that there were only 8 people in the entire theatre. What are the chances that 2 of those people are disrespectful - apparently pretty high!

Dictionary.com defines a pet peeve as "a particular and often continual annoyance; personal bugbear".

As comic relief, I thought I'd list a few. Enjoy!

1. People who drive too slowly.
2. Crumbs in the butter.
3. Being able to see inside the toilet when you walk into the bathroom.
4. Seniors who own the same car as mine.
5. Paraphernalia hanging from a rearview mirror.
6. Password resets that don't allow you to use the same password over again.
7. People who ride the brake when driving for no apparent reason.
8. Fingerprints (that aren't mine) in the hair modelling paste that I buy.
9. Toilet paper should always be over the roll, never under!
10. Stepping onto a wet mat with dry feet (ie: the bath mat).
11. Talking to people on the telephone while they are having a conversation with their house pet.
12. Musical birthday cards.

So, in conclusion, please, turn off your damn cell phone ringers in theatres. I don't care that you think you're important!

As an added bonus, I think I'll leave this post open for future pet peeve additions. Be sure to check back to see if yours made it on the list.
