(pet)peevish



Drivers under the speed limit
Drivers who pull out right in front of you, when there’s no one behind you, and then drive under the speed limit
Non-use of turn signals
Tailgaters (no, not the kind at football games)
Piss poor grammar, spelling, and overall word confusion…loose/lose, its/it’s, sole/soul, good/well, allowed/aloud, bad/badly/poorly, too/to, and when did cheese become chez?….you get the idea…
Even worse punctuation
The spell checker on iPhones
Gossip
Daylight savings time
Form letters from HR departments
Bank deposit slips written in Spanish
Compulsive liars
Embezzlers
Weeds
Dust
Clutter
Dirty floors
Dirty sinks & faucets
Telemarketers
Drama
Chewing gum (human cows)
Excessive aftershave/cologne
Age discrimination (I’m not even close to dead yet)
The word “ain’t” (personally, I don’t think that should be listed in Webster’s as a word at all)
Unanswered emails, voicemails, or texts
Minivans (if you can’t drive ‘em, don’t buy ‘em)
Un-kept promises
Box fans
False advertising
Dirty fingernails
Poor to nonexistent table manners
Broken computers
Simple math errors
Sloppiness
Sloth
Cigarettes (I know; nothing worse than a reformed smoker)
Cancer (specifically, small cell lung cancer, a result of heavy, consistent smoking, the cancer that is probably going to take the husband of one of my good friends)
