21 Pet Peeves

I made a pet peeve list.

I know it’s a negative thing to do.

I just felt like I should.

I have a pet peeve of disliking when every paragraph of a blog posts starts with the same word. For example, I.

I will start the list now…

Eggshells falling into a bowl. They’ve got to be the hardest things to pick out. Until my Mom showed me a special little trick. You use the two halves of the shell, and scoop the fallen eggshell in-between. It magnetizes itself to the other eggshell parts. Eureka!
When people hold loud side conversations during a business meeting, play or show.
People who don’t wash their hands after going to the bathroom.
Missing socks.
Nightmares. I’ve gotten used to them, as I have full-blown movie dreams almost nightly.
Nighttime cold sweats.
People who make pet peeve lists.
Spam. The virtual kind.
People who “wine and dine” me.
When others are afraid to Tweet me based on my large following. Hey, I don’t bite!
Migraines.
When students blow their nose vigorously in front of class during a silent test. Maybe move into the hall? I know I’m not being sensitive here…but it just bothers me! lol
Code that produces bugs.
<? instead of <?php
Cups filled so full to the brim at Starbucks that tea keeps spilling onto my table.
Sticky hands.
Handshakes with folks who have too much lotion on their hands.
Chewing food with mouth agape.
Cliffhangers. Where’s the relief?!
Dog eared books.
Pine needles. They fall endlessly onto our property in the Sierra Nevada mountains.
