I've been thinking about the things that annoy me for awhile but haven't wanted to post them because I'll look like a big baby. This is by no means all-inclusive, but it's a good start:
- Denim skirts or flip flops at church -- If you're one of those people, I'm not judging, just commenting. I know I'm probably in the minority, but I just don't like them as Sunday dress.
- Subway employees who don't know the difference between oil and vinegar -- I always order salt and pepper and a little vinegar as my dressing and there's nothing worse than ripping open the tasty turkey on honey oat and realizing they've doused it in OIL instead of vinegar. Ick.
- "Is Mr. Pibb okay?" -- Um, no. Mr. Pibb is not the same as Dr. Pepper. You Coke/Pepsi fans out there know what I'm talking about.
- Grape Jolly Ranchers -- I don't have anything against the grape (in moderation), but it seems that 50% of every bag of JR's is grape. Are they cheaper to make or something? Is there a good reason for the grape-centric bags? Would it kill them to throw in a few extra watermelons?
- Irregardless/Supposably/Avaidable -- Those aren't words, people! Think before you speak! {Full disclosure: Even though I hate it, I sometimes say "could care less" instead of "couldn't care less." Apparently, I'm even annoyed by myself. My bad.}
- Singalong imposters -- I'm a huge fan of singing/dancing in the car. I admit, I'm not a stellar singer, but I at least know the words (or at least what I think are the words). In high school, I had a friend who routinely sang along to songs a half-syllable behind because she didn't know the words at all.
- Babies in theaters -- Now, I don't have any kids, so maybe I don't know the logic behind bringing a baby to the movies. Just the other night, there were even a few babies at Wicked. Did I miss something? A crying baby definitely shouldn't interrupt a play or a non-kid-themed movie.
Wow, I sound like even more of a whiner than I thought. I guess I just like a good rant now and then.
What are your pet peeves?
