Well, we’re half way through January and it’s about the time we’re all getting cranky over our resolutions. Maybe we’ve broken them? I avoid making New Year’s resolutions not because I think I’m perfect the way I am, ohhh nooooo. I simply do not like setting myself up for failure. Nevertheless, I thought mid-January a good time to express my divorce and other pet peeves just for the joy of being negative. After you read mine, please share yours in the comments section as misery loves company. Here goes:
People who don’t smile back
The cashier who rolls up your newly purchased clothing into a messy ball before stuffing them in the bag
BF’s who sleep with (or attempt to) your ex post divorce WTF?
BF’s who try to sleep with you post divorce-Girl on girl wasn’t what I had in mind
When your lawyer never returns your call and when she finally does, she asks “What is so urgent?”-ummm, my Divorce?
When someone asks “Why did you get divorced?”
The arm rest hog
People who think the phone only rings at their end (they’re the ones who always ask why you don’t call when you just called them!)
When your ex’s lawyer refers to the settlement offer as a ‘gift’
Mid-calf length pants with dangling strings-are they shorts? Are they pants? they’re neither; they’re SHANTS
People who bring super cheap wine to your house for dinner
When rich guys don’t pay their child or spousal support
When rich guys bring super cheap wine to your house – although this has never happened to me if it did, it would bother me
When the driver you let in doesn’t even wave a thank you
Stickers on fruit
Yoga or fitness instructors who show up to class sick
The person who never recognizes you, even though you’ve been introduced several times before
Waitresses who exclaim “I didn’t know you wanted your change”-ya, I wanted to tip you 40% because you’re worth it
I don’t know about you but I feel much better now. Please share your pet peeve with me in the comments section so we can commiserate!

January 19, 2013 at 12:19 amGreat list! I have to defend people with bad memories. The Lyme disease made my memory foggy and I have a really hard time with people now! I used to never forget a face or a name, so that bothers me. I looked at someone all night tonight at my daughter’s game, thinking, “Where do I know her from – she looks familiar…” and on the way out the door I realized she is 1) one of my husband’s classmates, 2) a prominent local business owner, often advertising or featured somehow in the local paper – and her business is her first name and 3) She has cut my kids hair with me standing right there talking to her. Duh!

January 18, 2013 at 6:08 pmA few of my pet peeves which you may not commiserate with but what the heck I’ll still list em …
(1) When I come out to people as an asexual and they say “no you’re not … ** insert their reason here why I’m not **” instead of just believing me or asking me for clarification of what I mean by asexual.
(2) Drivers not turning their blinker on when changing lanes on the freeway or sometime not even when actually turning left or right!
(3) People who habitually answer their cell phone in the middle of a meeting.
