Pet Peeves

You can learn a lot about someone by knowing what truly irks them more than anything else. What’s perfectly tolerable to one, may drive another absolutely up the wall. Here’s my on-going list:

  • Drivers who leave too much space in front of their car when stopped in traffic
  • People who don’t turn right on red when it’s legal to
  • Slow drivers in the fast lane
  • GPS devices that take forever to acquire a satellite signal (e.g. our Garmin Nuvi 320)
  • People who don’t hold the door for you when you’re walking in behind them
  • Responding only to a subset of the questions I posed to you in an email
  • Places that don’t accept credit/debit cards
  • People who park straddling the line so as to take up 2 spaces to protect their precious automobile.
