Pet Peeves and Ponderings

I was thinking last night about all the little things that just bug the hell outta me and I thought "what the hell" and decided to share them with you LOL.

If you have a big dog- big being anything larger than knee high - and you are walking said dog and you KNOW that your dog acts like a frigging werewolf please get off the damn sidewalk!! Don't make me walk on the grass around you because I'm afraid your mutt is going to sink its teeth into me.

Why do hotdogs come in packs of twelve and buns in packs of eight??? What kind of marketing ploy is that?

Why do people put on their turn signal just before they make their turn?? Why not indicate some distance before you actually reach the place you want to turn?

How do socks multiply in the laundry? I swear to gawd they start out as pairs and then once they come out of the dryer there are always one or two spare socks that don't match anything. Do they breed??

Are commercials getting more and more stupid or am I just getting cranky in my old age?

Why do teenage boys have to have their pants hanging off their asses? Don't they know that they look like an unmade bed? I don't want to KNOW what kind of drawers they have on. Oh and by the way boys, in the summer if you are wearing those big baggy shorts DO NOT wear boxers and then sit with your legs wide open - you are giving the world a view that they would just as soon do without *shudder*

Why do non-smokers think they have the right to walk up to a smoker who isn't in a non-smoking place and berate them? It's just rude. If said smoker is standing under a no smoking sign and blowing the smoke in your face, go for it but other than that, give it a rest ok?

I'll probably think of more the instant I hit publish but these are the ones getting on my nerves right now, dammit LOL

Even more for you:

Why do people come to a complete stop before making a right hand turn?? If you're turning. TURN! Don't make me go all-stop!

Thanks for stopping my my site the other day...

I do have two large dogs, and they can act like unbehaved mutts, and I do try and cross the street, especially if there are kids on bikes. I know not everyone loves dogs like we do, and I try to respect that. What I hate is when kids tease the dogs while we're walking them....

Tony - very funny site, thanks for the liink!

Shannin - Most people do control their dogs but I guess I should have been more specific. My neighbour has a golden retreiver that thinks it's a wolf! It FREAKS barking and snarling when you are walking down the sidewalk towards them and she REFUSES to get off the damn sidewalk and let other people by. Her vicious mutt has snapped real real close to a couple of kids but no bites YET. I love dogs and would have a pack of them if I could but if your dogs scare people you try to keep as much distance between your dog and a potential lawsuit, you know?

Vegas - I have lots of other pet peeves about non-smokers but I'm saving that for another rant LOL

lost! know what you mean about the turnsignals - as my dad used to say when i was learning, "it's not a device that helps the car turn!"

the rest of these are great - and true!

The thing about the hotdogs and buns...it's because wieners are measured by weight, and the buns only by number. Or so they tell us.
