Pet Peeves

1. Two times in the past week I've pulled into the parking lot of a store, seen someone in the last steps of emptying the contents of his cart into his car, leave the cart in the middle of the parking space next to him and then drive off! So annoying. Move your lazy behind and put the cart somewhere out of the way---if you can't bring yourself to walk the few extra feet to put it where it belongs, at least park it somewhere out of the way of where someone else (ME!) would want to park. Duh.

2. One of my most hated things is smokers throwing their cigarettes out the car window, on the sidewalk, on the street....so tacky. I've often wanted to ask: "So would you just throw your "regular" garbage on the street?" But now I have the answer! And the answer is.............(drum roll)....................YES!!!! Yes, they would! Twice now recently I've seen some guy with a new package of cigarettes (naturally) unwrap the package and throw the wrapping onto the sidewalk. Hello?? It happened again Friday night; the guy right next to me---dressed all snazzy in a suit and snappy shoes---unwrapped his cigarettes and threw the trash on the sidewalk. I was standing next to him and pointedly stared at him, willing him to turn and look at me so I could glare at him or something. Strangely enough he never did and casually just walked away. What a jerk. Sorry, but there's no excuse for that. I wish there was a way to pile all the accumulated wrappers, trash, cigarette butts, etc., that he's dropped and put them in the middle of his room. See how pleasant and no-big-deal it is then.

Phew. Glad I got that off my chest.
