Pet Peeve #11

Over-Exaggerated Pronunciations of Foreign Words I can’t write this post too loudly or I may get berated by my coworker again, but I can’t stand when a normal, American-English speaking person feels it necessary to take their tongue on a trip abroad while pronouncing everyday words with foreign origins. I’m not trying to be offensive [...]

Child Authors Kids who write books are such d-bags. OK, not all of them, but most of them. I mean… do you think you’re better than me, child author?! Because you’re not (you might be.) I doubt you actually wrote a whole book by yourself. I mean, I can barely even read one and I’m [...]

Strollers Dear parents of children who are unable to walk on their own- Stay at home. When you push your kid around in a stroller everyone hates you. Especially me. Ok, I guess this stroller hatred doesn’t apply to places were strollers are acceptable, like around neighborhoods, parks and other wide-open places, but when it’s [...]

Stuff On Seats Monday morning I was at an undisclosed location for work. It was a big waiting room-type space where everyone involved has to wait their turn. There were 3 huge couches, a long leather bench and more than a few individual chairs for people to sit, yet I had to stand. Not because [...]

Scooped-Out Bagels I eat a bagel every single weekday morning before work, and I’m pretty selective about my bagels and how much I’ll pay for them. Everyone has their own personal preferences, but I really don’t understand the people who get a bagel and rip out all the soft insides, just leaving the crust. What [...]

While the air is slightly less oppressive than it has been, there is NO NEED to start breaking out the sweaters, cardigans and scarves just yet. I saw several people who were [...]

Speaker Phone Here’s my philosophy on speaker phone use: It should basically never happen. Well, the only time it should happen is when you are alone in a sound-proof area, or when everyone in earshot (and I mean everyone) needs to hear the conversation. Or, maybe if you need your hands to disarm a nuclear [...]

Food Smells In Non-Food Smell Appropriate Places Sometimes eating food on the go or at your desk is unavoidable. We’re all busy and sometimes need to chow down on the run, but you know… at least make appropriate food selections when your eating is going to effect other people. Someone around me today ordered a [...]

Asking for “No Ice” Just went to McDonald’s and had 2 different people in front of me ask for “no ice” in their drinks. Actually, they didn’t ask… they just said “no ice!” Who do these people think they are?! You “no ice” people should be happy that I don’t work at your favorite fast [...]
