Pet Peeves

As most of you know, I do my best to stay positive and upbeat.  Sometimes we all need to vent...even me!  Please note that the following list (with a few illustrations) is meant to help, not hurt anyone's feelings.

1...houses that look like a gift shop.  We have all been guilty of too much "stuff"...but don't feel like you have to display it all at once.  Edit...edit...edit!  And FYI...your local Junior League will be glad to accept donations for their Bargain Box.



2...loud people.  We can hear you!  No everyone in the office or the restaurant want to hear your conversation or thoughts (especially if you are on the phone).



3...rude people...these people almost always are the same person as #2.  Being intentionally rude to others says alot about who your are...in a negative way.  Hint...catty and rude are not always the same thing, but can be.



4...Braggarts...we all know your bank account is full...your kids are the smartest and best...you have a new car, clothes, job, etc.  If you have to tell us about it (typically) it's not all that anyway, unless of course it's really not all that.  Grandparents are excluded from this category.



5...PDA...my mother always taught us to keep your hands and mouth to yourself.  Get a room!



I will stop here for now...don't want to get too worked up at this time of the morning!  We have all been guilty of one or more of these.  This is truly meant in jest, but a wise woman told me once...many a true thought has been said in jest.  Wonder where she is now...probably a proud granny with a cellphone full of pictures bragging on her grand-kids in a restaurant being rude to the waiter while holding hands with grandpa?
