Pet Peeves

Here's a little rant on things that annoy me.

1) Girls ignoring calls and messages--This happens to guys (not just me) a lot. It takes a lot of courage for a man to call a woman and ask her on a date. But all too often girls ignore that effort. This is rude. And it just encourages repeated calls from the guy anyway. Just answer the dad-gum phone and say "no" to whatever he is offering.

2) Lack of Punctuality--I don't know why this irks me so. But people showing up late to any sort of appointment/meeting/job/class really bother me. I don't know why. I hate being late myself too. I am also annoyed by people leaving early as well (especially from home sports events, that's just disloyal!)

3) Driving SLOWER than the speed limit--This is usually done by old people. I can understand being old and not feeling the constant need to rush everywhere. But at least drive the speed limit so you don't drive younger generations (like myself) out of their minds.

4) Not pulling all the way into a turn lane--This happens a lot around here. People pull into a turn lane but leave half their vehicle in the other lane so traffic has to swerve around them. This is definitely a safety issue. And it vexes me.

5) People ranting about stupid stuff on their blogs--Mindless rants are stupid. I don't know why people feel the need to air their nit-picky grievances in public, but for some reason they do. And it's annoying.

(#3&4 are what inspired this post. For some reason I've been really annoyed by other drivers lately. Grrrrr!!!!)
