Pet Peeves?
by April2, May 09, 2008 04:01PM
I got to thinking about this because this happened to me twice this week! I had a busy week and went through a drive-through fast food restaurant twice this week and got home only to discover they either got my order all wrong or we were missing something all together! Argg! And then, of course, you really don't want to have to go back to have them correct the order or give you the missing item because it's too far, you're too tired or in a hurry because you need to get somewhere else. And then you're just out the money or item! And how come it seems like you're always missing something but never get something extra? Lol.
Anyway, that's my pet peeve for this week. What about everyone else?
What are your pet peeves?

My pet peeve is when people go on about how "busy" they are or how "broke" they are. People prioritize--you always have time and money for the things that are important to you. And I'm trying to live a life of abundance using the Law of Attraction (gratitude and focus on what is good), so I just avoid people like this now.
My pet peeve is eating manners. Certain restaurants I need to avoid in order not to get a meltdown.
But, one of my biggest pet peeves is spelling and grammar. There are so many posts with words that are spelled wrong or the wrong word is used. Read, reread and read it again. If one isn't sure, type the word in a document and do spell check. Then correct it before it's posted. Also, typing in all CAPS.
common mistakes:
advice vs. advise
they're vs. their vs. there
Anyone have more they want to add?
Writing extremely loooooong paragraphs without taking a break. They are hard to read, understand and I tend to skip over them. Break up what is being said into smaller paragraphs. One might get more responses back.
My worry is that teens are so used to texting everything now that they can't spell.

I just thought of another pet peeve. I hate rude service and rude people. I hate going into a fast food place where they obviously haven't been taught to be polite and to put the customer first. I also hate to see rudeness out in the public like on the roads, etc. One time I went into a fast food place with my daughter and this couple were talking loudly at a table and every other word was a cuss word. I tried to find a table as far from them as possible. Another time we went to the mall and some guy yelled f...you!! to someone really loud as he was standing outside the doors and as we were approaching the doors to go in. Why do people think it's ok to act offensive and use offensive words out in public now? If they must do that, why can't they do it quietly amongst themselves, not so loud the whole world can hear?! Another time I was standing in line with my then young children and the people in front of us were cussing up a storm and I did ask politely if they could please refrain from using such language since I had small children there. That was several years ago. I don't know if I'd be afraid to do that today. It seems like our world is getting more violent and aggressive. It sure is hard to raise kids now days.
