Pet peeves are my freaking specialty. I have a lot of those. My biggest ones, would probably be the lovely cashiers who are checking you out slowly, because they are trying to have a conversation with me. And I really could care less about how many grandkids she has, or how old they are, or what time she started her shift, just ring my crap up, and take my money already. I would have to say that my other biggest one is parents letting their kids run around in the stores knocking everything over, and yelling. Take freaking control, is want i want to say. There is no reason children should run around stores acting like wild Banshees.

My son's father is just a pet peeve all on his own. He is a walking advertisement for pet peeve. I think he should just wear shirts that say, " hi, i am a pet peeve ". His spelling is horrible, he has lived on his parents couch for 37 years, he does not understand the whole concept of thinking, and he pees on the toilet. He lost all his teeth after high school because his parents allowed him to drink pop, out of a stinking baby bottle, and he wants to know why i do not allow my son with pop.
He has a lot of trouble with thinking, I have actually suggested he may have ADHD, but he says no, he was tested for that. When you try to have a conversation with him, he is not even listening due to the fact he is too busy thinking of what he is going to say next. I am currently dating someone, and he asks me who is better in bed, the better kisser, and very personal questions. He has no shame. And come on now, I can not honestly tell him the truth about all of that, because it would hurt his feelings. OK, i have told you all about him, (my biggest pet peeve), but I do have more.
How about the fact that when people get old, they become the biggest hypocrites in history. Like, my grandma for instance, she is 70 years old now. Ex- smoker for about 10 years now, and is on everybody else to quit, like we are all losers because we all still smoke. We can't even have a cigarette around her or she flips out. She gets mad at the fact that me and my sister don't crochet, I am sorry, this is the new millennium, and we are in our twenties. Not interested in crocheting things for my end tables. I am in school for medical assistant, she wants to know why i did not go for nursing, like what i chose isn't good enough.
Okay, well i hope this article does not make me look totally anal, but hey, their my pet peeves.
