OT: What’s your pet peeve?

[dharmagirl]

You know there is so much unexplored terrain here…

No one has even mentioned what I call the “Stroller Mafia.”

Have you ever been to an event with lots of people, where parents seem to think that being a stroller pilot gives them a pass to the front of the line? Or barge in front of you?

last summer, a woman rolled right over my sandal-clad foot with her stroller. Didnt even apologize…just kept on going. And there is no way she could not have known.

To be fair, I’ve been in lines where parents had small children who were clearly upset/cranky/tired, etc. And I have gladly let them cut in front of me.

When I was at Stater Bros yesterday, a totally clueless woman almost ran me with down with her grocery cart in the produce aisle. I thought, “ahhhh…you MUST own a stroller!”

The common “thread” that I see running through many of these peeves is an utter disregard for other people’s personal space and time.

Don’t you all think that many people today are in a complete BUBBLE – trying to 9 things at once, cell phones surgically attached to ears, being distracted, not paying attention – and worse – not giving a damn.

I realize that every generation has had these complaints, but I think our society has hit an all-time low in terms of courtesy and consideration.

FLU- I couldnt agree more:

14. People in my field that talk and talk and talk, and don’t do sh!t.

15. Managers that promote people of type #14 all too frequently.

16. Women, that when you try to talk to, automatically assume you’re trying to hit on them (Looky here miss….. wedding ring)
(I dont have a wedding ring defence, but I need to find something similar. Maybe a shirt that says, “no, you are not that hot” or “I am talking to you cause I have to, not cause I want to”.)

Like DWCAP I am right there too. So much so I am thinking of creating some audio disks to listen to with a ton of Money words. I may have to go back to bringing one of those BS score-cards we used to see floating around a few years back.

16. Women, that when you try to talk to, automatically assume you're trying to hit on them (Looky here miss….. wedding ring)
(I dont have a wedding ring defence, but I need to find something similar. Maybe a shirt that says, "no, you are not that hot" or "I am talking to you cause I have to, not cause I want to".)

Consider getting that "you look better on myspace" t shirt.

Actually, there's a corollary to this if you're single. If you want to talk to someone that otherwise wouldn't give you the time and day, try wearing a ring and make sure the other gender sees it.  Just don't lie and say you're married, otherwise you'll have a lot of explaining to do later. It's one thing to lie and say your married when your not, but  you can't control what the other person assumes…

For some reason or the other, relationships are a lot like houses during the bubble. When no one wants a house, no one else wants it and it ends up on staying on the market a lot longer. If a home has an interested buyer or two, it usually ends up in a bidding war. To sell a house, folks often use props and often hire a staging company to stimulate demand. See, not everything that came from the RE bubble is bad…There's actually valuable lessons to be learned from them.
