Stop being LATE!

PET PEEVE #995


PEOPLE WHO ARE ALWAYS LATE


Believe it or not running late is a habit. Friends who I have known for many years have carried the tardiness habit with them since elementary school. People showing up late is one of my biggest pet peeve. Especially people who make appointments to meet you at a certain time and they end up showing up 30 minutes later.

 I have always valued people who showed up not on time but early. Everything I go to from watching a movie to my job, I show up 15-20 minutes early. This just shows accountability and responsibility which is a lost art in today's society.

I read an article online one time and it said doing something for 21 days will create a new habit. I wanted to test this theory out by changing the way I got ready for bed at night. I would usually take a shower than brush my teeth. I figure I would swap it around and brush my teeth first and take a shower. After this little experiment I have always stuck to brushing my teeth before hoping in the shower. I believe if you attempt to be early for the next 21 consecutive days your tardiness will dramatically increase because you have set a new habit.

Restaurant wait time

PET PEEVE #997

People sitting at their table for a long time after they eat when there is a huge line waiting to sit down.


Don't you just hate it when you are going out to dinner on the weekends and the restaurant is packed? To make it worse is when the host/hostess tells you it will be a 20-30 minute and it turns out to be like an hour. I mean I don't know how they calculate the wait time.... IS THERE A FORMULA THEY USE? if so, I would like to know. 



I hate people who sit at their table and take their sweet time and don't care about all the people waiting outside for their table. And they know you are starring at them too. I think there should be like a limited time where people can sit after their dinner. Say 30-40 minutes? A restaurant isn't a coffee shop. There is money to be made and people to serve. I use to be a waiter in high school and I would hate people sitting in my section for a long time because I lose money. When you are a waiter/waitress its all about provided good services along with how fast you can flip your table for the next customer.

SO PEOPLE NEXT TIME YOU ARE OUT EATING, PLEASE BE COURTEOUS AND GIVE UP YOUR TABLE!

Run away Ping Pong Balls

PET PEEVE #998

Chasing Down the Ping Pong Balls


Any ping pong players out there? I know this annoys you just like it annoys me. When the ball flies off the table and you have to chase down the ball. You almost have to be a ninja to catch a ball with your fast speed. This ball seriously have a mind of its own and it could bounce unpredictably anywhere.

The Double Dippers

PET PEEVE #999


GET YOUR OWN DIPPING SAUCE!!!

This is by far the nastiest thing next to sharing a drink with someone and them backwashing into your drink. Seriously people...GET YOUR OWN DIPPING SAUCE OR DIP ONCE!
We don't want your germs from you double dipping or triple dipping while eating your nuggets from Wendy's.

Kids on the plane... PET PEEVE 1000 COUNT DOWN

I am going to start making this blog a count down of 1000 Pet Peeves.




PET PEEVE #1000

PARENTS!!! PLEASE CONTROL YOUR KIDS!!!


As you may know I just recently got back from my business trip. And I have to say this has been to worse one I have ever taken. My departure flight and arrival flight consisted of bratty, annoying, crying and screaming kids. It was a long flight both ways, and I sat across from a lady with a baby leaving Charlotte and sat behind a couple with a bratty little boy coming home. Needless to say sleeping on the plane was out the question. I am a very sensitive sleeper and cannot sleep with any kind of moment, noise or bright light. 


I tried to request a seat change but there was no other seat available on the plane besides business class. I think they should have a designated area for passengers with children like they do at some churches. It's just for courtesy for other passengers on board who may want to shut their eyes for an hour or two before landing, or perhaps someone working on their laptop since there is WIFI on planes now.


SO PARENTS PLEASE CONTROL YOUR CHILDREN IN PUBLIC PLACES!!!

Seriously...? Take your shopping cart back to the cart corral!!!

Since yesterday's post was about shopping lines, I figure this topic would fit right in.
People these days are so lazy to just walk a couple more steps to push their cart back in the corral. It's one thing if the cart doesn't have wheels, but these things roll! I can't even tell you how many times I witness carts just freely rolling in the parking. They end up ramming into the cars that are parked or end up somewhere on the lot. I remember coming home with a scuff mark on my brand new Honda Accord I bought a few months back because someone decided to be inconsiderate and lazy. I was so pissed off coming out seeing a cart resting on the passenger side door. No wonder why we have so many overweight Americans these days, people are lazy! No one wants to do walk a few steps, push the cart back to where it belongs BECAUSE IT'S INCONVENIENCE!!!

Ever try to pull into a parking spot because you think there is nothing there? I hate when this happen, you get all excited because you find a good parking spot but come to find out there are cart(s) in the way which prevents you from parking there.

I use to work at a grocery store when I was in high school. My job title was pretty much the "CART BOY" I would have to go out to the parking lot every hour to fetch carts that people would leave all around the parking lot. This was so annoying for me having to spot our store's "green shopping cart" in a big shopping center.

SO PLEASE PEOPLE... DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND THE WORKERS A FAVOR RETURN THE CART TO THE CORRAL!
