That Really Grinds My Gears

I felt like starting a list of things that are pet peeves for me. Don’t know why. Maybe I’m just an angry white male today….

1. People who fly around me in town at upwards of 60 mph only to slow down to 50 mph right in front of me for the next 12 miles.

2. When there is one speck of snow on a parking lot and everyone just ignores the painted lines.

3. Business owners who think they own you just because you’ve frequented their establishment.

4. Women who fish for compliments.

5. People who take up two parallel parking spots when they could easily fit in one. Also people who park too close in the parking lot.

6. Drive through attendants who say, “Pull forward to the LAST window.” How am I supposed to know which window was the last until it’s too late?

7. Waitresses who ask if I want a refill on my iced tea. Bring it. If I don’t want it…I won’t drink it.

8. People who expect me, the customer, to know what I want and need (like model numbers and part numbers etc…). If I knew that, I wouldn’t need help at the store then would I…and you could be at home collecting unemployment.

9. Guys who let women carry heavy things without offering to help.

10. NY Giants fans who take life a little too seriously.

11. The "one upper". Guys who start every part of a conversation with, "you think that's bad..." or "you think that was big...". Always got one better than everyone else.

12. People who make stupid lists…
