I am not a lover of phones in general but I see no reason to use a cell phone IN
PUBLIC except for a 911 call--and people who don't turn off their phones in
movies, theatres, restaurants should have them taken away--I don't care about
'vibrate'--when they open their phone that very annoying light (especially in a
dark theatre) are extremely distracting--and I don't want to hear your personal
business or "What do you want for dinner?" in the supermarket--won't even get
into car phones!
RUDE PEOPLE--and we are surrounded by them--sales
people, kids (even our own), relatives, starngers, drivers, customers and the
list goes on.
BERATING YOUR CHILD IN PUBLIC--if you will do that I
shudder what you do to the child at home.
DISCRIMINATION, prejudice, put
downs.
WHINERS who blame everyone and everything else except where the
blame lies(lays)--with them.
PEOPLE who turn down the corners of
books.
NEGATIVE people.
PEOPLE who do good and somehow everyone
knows about it.
HYPERCRITS--who think they are the only ones who do
everything right and know everything.
NOT RSVP(ing) to invitations--not
returning calls--sending birthday cards, thank you notes, etc., via
e-mail.
Serving sizes on food cans, packages,
etc.---are they serving sizes for ants?
Being put on hold--then adding
insult to injury, disconnecting me when finally making contact.
Advised
to go to a web page when you can't get on the Internet!
Movies that are
20-30 minutes too long to show off the director's 'artistic' side
Ageism--like Chita Rivera can still dance at HER
age?--or Dick Van Dyke looks great at 80!-- anyone over 50 can still do things
as well, if not better, than younger folks.
Someone saying "Some of my
best friends are----." You fill in the blank Jewish, gay, christian, black,,
etc., and someone standing silently when a 'joke' is told regarding
them.
Two faced people.
Tip jars on counters.
Talking about
tips (since I was a server for 38 years I'll do a whole blog on that
someday)--fine you don't want to tip then go to a fast food or self serve place
to eat.
People who don't acknowledge politeness with "Thank you" or don't
respond with a "You're welcome"--and those that don't say "Please" when asking
for something (including parents!)
People who use curse words and/or
vulgar expressions--I was a Marine and the strongest word I ever used was
"Sh-o-o-o-t" as only a Southerner (or a transplanted Yankee) can say
it.
Ads for
theatrical events--plays, musicals, concerts,opera, ballet, etc.,--without
prices.
Ridiculous money add ons for the above.
People who are
late for dates, appointments--I'm usually early, their late, so it starts off
bad!
Doctors who keep you waiting unreasonable times (more than 15
minutes after appointment time)--I've changed more than 1 doctor because of
this, including my cardiologist--and don't put me in a room near appointment
time only to wait 30-45 minutes.
People who don't acknowledge where they
got a post from whether it is a joke, a news item or whatever--being a writer I
want to see authors get the credit even if it is 'anonymous'--don't pass it off
as your own.
People who don't acknowledge a kindness shown
them,
Mornings annoy me so I avoid them as much as possible :o)
I
annoy myself when I don't use my intelligence.
People who crack their
knuckles in public.
People coming to a theatre or movie
late.
People who don't care.
People who are 'bitchy' and mean
it.
Being a 'third wheel'.
Most militants.
Liars and
snobs--though I have a past history of being the former.
Friends who
forget my birthday--it only comes once every 4 years.
And that is only
a few of the things that annoy me--why can't all people be as perfect as I
am????????????? :o)
The one that annoy me cell phone in theater.Movie playing and they check there phones now and then.They should tell them to leave the phone in their car or at home.Or stay away from the theater and not to bother anyone.I hate this.But no ones seems to be doing anything about this.
