Biggest Pet Peeve

I thought this would be easy. It's not really. It's a little hard to pick just one when there are so many things that happen in any given day that make me more then just a little crazy. Right now it would be stupid movies because my husband is watching one and it's driving me nuts. I'll list a few others but only because the 30 day blog challenge has picked the topic.

1. Being ignored. When I speak to you, I actually expect an answer. It's weird how that works. I need an in-depth response to a simple question or statement. I probably don't even want an in-depth response. I just would like you to respond. It doesn't even have to be verbal. This is happening a LOT with my kids right now and it's making me crazy. The worst offender is one I come into contact with on an almost daily basis. I say hi and there is no response. Really? Who does that?  Turns out, more people than you would think. 

2. Open Cupboards/Drawers. It's silly that I even have to explain this but here goes. If you open a cupboard/drawer, close it. I can't stand walking into a room with open cupboards/drawers. How hard is it to close a cupboard/drawer. 

3. Using More Then One Cup A Day. Granted we have a bunch of people in this house but seriously, if you use a cup for dinner, why do you possibly need a new cup an hour later to take your medicine. I use one cup a day. If I'm only drinking water, I'll even use the same cup a couple days. I get how it can be gross but it's just water and it's just me drinking out of it. 

4. Not Using Common Sense. Does one REALLY need to be told to brush their hair and teeth EVERY day? It's not like I've ever said, "don't worry about it. You don't need to brush today." I've literally NEVER said that. Anitra likely NEVER said that. So how do you "forget?" 

Okay, at this point I think I've listed the top four that have driven me crazy just tonight. I really could go on and on and on but nobody really wants to read that and quite frankly, I don't really want to relive these moments over and over again. Oh wait, I just thought of the BIGGEST one that drives me crazy Monday-Friday each morning.

Drop Off and Pick-Up Lanes. These are not rocket science parents. The school even sends a map home at least twice a year for reminder. This map shows the way the flow of traffic should go. These maps aren't confusing. There aren't even any turns on them. The note sent with the map clearly details the proper technique. I realize you think that your child is special, but they're really not anymore, or any less special, than all the other kids that are being dropped off and picked up. Your time is really not any more or any less valuable than mine. Blocking the cars in that are doing it right only makes people want to punch you and makes their blood pressure go up each morning. Stop doing that. Stop doing that NOW. 

Okay...I'm done. Really. Thank you for allowing me to rant about that. I'm stopping now before I list more and I become that bitter person that is annoyed by absolutely every living, breathing person in the universe.
