Top Whatever Pet Peeves



For some reason, people, behaviours...things seem to be rubbing me the wrong way more frequently than ever before. 

1.  Rude commuters (on the bus - cause that's my mode of transportation into the city):  if you're wearing a huge backpack and have to stand in the aisle because the idiot bus driver keeps letting too many people on the bus - to the point where we're absolutely bursting out of the bus, and he actually acknowledges that he's driving illegally - and your backpack keeps hitting other people in the head?  Take the damn thing off!  Or if you see an expecting mom, a physically handicapped person, an elderly person etc.  and you are perfectly healthy?  Offer your damn seat up!  I remember being so ridiculously huge while pregnant that my belly was practically poking someone in the nose (he was an officer in the armed forces - which is probably why I am still steaming over this because I was rasied as an army brat, and had my manners hammered into me from a young age, and I know that as an officer you are taught to be courteous), I stood in front of this person for 45 minutes without once being offered a seat!

2.  People who use public washrooms and don't wash their hands.  Really??!!  Cause that's disgusting.

3.  Loud talkers in a small work environment, namely sharing a wall, therefore, air space, cubicles.  Keep your freaking voice down!  If you have a conference call, please try and find a closed door office.  If you need to make a phone call, please use your "spa voice" and if you need to have a meeting, please find a bloody conference room/meeting room!  I don't need to hear that your mother's dog just vomited on your son's new favorite teddy bear!!! 

                                               

Ok, so that's only 3 pet peeves today...that's not too to bad.  I'm sure this list will grow though.
