Pet Peeves

What sort of things just annoy you to no end?

Really slow drivers. Just because the road has a curve in it does not mean you have to drive 25 in a 45. I just got my license, so I'm a relatively new driver, sadly enough. If I can drive this road at the speed limit, so can you. Move.

Parents who won't discipline their kids. If the kid is misbehaving, do something I have seen a kid in a restaurant scream in the ear of the man in the next booth and then hit him in the head. The parents did nothing. Spank the kid. It's good for them. They'll learn that bad actions have bad consequences. It's a good lesson.

When a kid throws a tantrum cause they didn't get something at the store, and the parent buys it for them to make them stop. I knew better than that. Don't give it to them. Just take any other stuff they had in the cart back and say if they're gonna act like that over one thing, they won't get anything at all. All you're doing is teaching your kid they can walk all over you if you buy it.

People who walk into a restaurant right before closing. If the restaurant closes at 10:00, don't walk in at 9:55, or even worse, 9:59. We're tired. We're trying to clean up so we can go home. And if we're cooking you food, we can't be cleaning up. And while overtime is nice, We're already getting it anyway. Have some decency and go away.

The fact that you almost don't have to speak English to live in this country (US). If you speak fluent Spanish, the system is almost more in your favor than those of us who speak English. In some places, signs are in Spanish first and translated into English. Cashiers need to be able to speak both languages. All documents are in both English and Spanish, even official one for the government. You don't need to know one word of English to get by here, and it's an English speaking country. This is NOT a bilingual country. If I moved to a Spanish speaking country, I would learn to speak Spanish. Why can't you learn English before moving here?

People who don't pay attention to their pets. My dogs are not small animal friendly. They were raised to think of small animals as prey, and while not the entire breed has this high prey drive, my dogs do, because we own no small animals and those dogs are harder to place because so many other people do. So then you encounter some stupid, stuck up person with a Jack Russel or some other small dog on a long leash that isn't even trying to watch where they are going. I know my dogs and I'm controlling them, but there's only so much I can do when lunch runs up and jumps in their face. While they haven't managed to eat anyone's small dog yet, I have had a couple of close calls. And what do these people do when you ask them to control their dogs? They scoff at you and give the dog more leash, like they're too important to be bothered by anything you have to say. And I've even had one person respond to me telling them their dog could get hurt by saying "I don't care." You don't care! How can you not care. People like that don't deserve pets.

That'll get things going. I know there's a lot more. I'll probably make several more posts in the future.

So what about ya'all?

 

Somehow I knew you'd say that, XD.

Anyway, I've got another good one. When your boss posts a schedule, and then changes it without telling you. >_<

 

Yeah, my vision is so bad that I can't say I've done the bit with the glasses. The drastic change from being able to see and not being able to see makes sure I know if I'm wearing them. But I have been looking for stuff I was holding in my hand before. That is aggravating.

 

I have a problem with supervisors that ask questions they don't really want the answers to. My boss asks me a question. I answer them. I get yelled at for talking back or being direspectful, when I was neither. If you didn't really want to know the answer to what I asked, then don't bother asking me.
