Pet Peeves: December edition

I have pet peeves (probably most notable one is my dislike of old sponges ... although xx roommate will have to confirm).

Here are the top five of the month:

1. People who spell what incorrectly... on purpose. Example : "Wots up?" or "Wut are you up to?" Does leaving ONE letter our make it that much easier?

2. Playing holiday music BEFORE thanksgiving. Walgreens chill out.

3. Characters who wear sunglasses when it is dark out. Or inside. Or inside when it is dark out.

4. People who bring their children shopping on Black Friday.

5. People who ask me a question, and the easiest thing is to just google it. Example: "Hey, do you know who the 15th president was?"

Like anyone but that 5 year old whose parents made him memorize all the presidents so he could be on the Today show knows it was James Buchanan.

"This is for all those people that find it more convenient to bother you with their question rather than google it for themselves."

Caught me on a cranky day due to astronomical dental costs... but this site makes me laugh: Peeve Pile

Funny from when I checked today:

Hastily wiping your hand on your pants before giving me a handshake. What was on your hand? Is it off now? May I decline this handshake? — Grome

Snifflers If you need to sniffle more than once or twice, you need to blow. Your co-workers, roommates, friends, etc do not want to listen to you sniffling over and over and over and over and over. Take a decongestant. If you're sick, stay home, away from others. If it's a nervous habit, investigate behavior modification, immediately. — mybossisanidiot

When someone is pointing out or showing you something on your laptop and TOUCHES THE SCREEN while they're doing it. I see what you mean! Smudging my screen with your post- potato chip snacking fingers is completely unnecessary, thanks. — megan m.
