Does anyone remember the Mad Rapper? Notorious B.I.G.? If you click on that link be prepared for some foul language... foul language that always made me snicker. That Mad Rapper... he's just so mad. So with that in mind let's talk pet peeves.
- Closed roads with no forewarning and no detours. The nerve. How hard is it to tell me that one of the two ways out of my development will be randomly shut down off and on for weeks? And then how am I supposed to get where I need to go? Cell phone usage while driving ain't exactly safe.
- The leisurely Sunday driver. Hey I see you up there. Looking left. Looking right. Driving straight. Looking left again.....
- Bible pushers. It's not that I don't appreciate what you're trying to do. Or the rationale behind it. I just think there are more than one way to skin a cat so to speak. Think of the audience. And maybe just be the person you are trying to convert the other into. Be an example. Don't push.
- People who chew with their mouth open. It took me years to break Matt of this habit. It must be in their DNA because Letty is such an offender. It's like she is my own personal tormentor at dinner time.
- Machine gun texters. I understand there may be a time or two where this could happen accidentally, Autocorrect I'm looking at you. Bane of my existence that autocorrect. But when I'm leisurely examining Instagram and I flip back over to my messages and have 7 messages from you in 60 seconds? Nope. I'm exhausted.
And before I go and offend everyone I know I'm leaving. For a leisurely Sunday drive on this Wednesday. Chewing with my mouth open for all the world to hear.
I am linking up with Helene and Tay and their #blogtober14 challenge.
OMG! I know what you mean about the "bible pushers". I am a Catholic woman and I am proud of my Faith, but when you meet a person who you wish would get to know the Lord, praying in private for them has a better effect than shoving the Word in their face! That's the best way to get them running and screaming in the opposite direction!
ReplyDeletehaha I love this post and the wittiness behind it. New follower!
ReplyDeleteHave you met Jesus today?! That was the worst on campus. Omg a person standing alone looking all purposeful, evasive maneuvers!
ReplyDeleteI hate the whole chewing with mouth open thing. My co-worker does it and eventually I just had to ask her to stop because it was so annoying! Luckily we are good friends so she took it well - now we are trying to break the habit!
ReplyDeleteUggghhh bible pushers! They are THE WORST! They always try to attack me when I'm on the phone too! Rude!
ReplyDeleteUgh... chewing with your mouth open is the worst!! I absolutely hate seeing and HEARING it!
ReplyDeleteiiiii literally could have written these!!! and added a few ;) ;) i love it!
ReplyDeleteHaha great post! I have the worst road rage so anything dealing with slow drivers I'm instantly irritated lol
ReplyDeleteAhhh! How didn't I think of roads closed with no warning? I lose my mind whenever I stumble upon one of these. And then the GPS keeps telling me to go the way I can't. The worst.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, the machine gun texters drive me insane! Especially when you have your phone on full volume and it's like DING! DING! DING DING DING! If you force me to switch my phone to silent just to text with you, we have a problem.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree about the bible pushers. Well put. Focus one being a role model for the ideas you support and want to preach. Live it instead of pushing it.
ReplyDeleteHa! Maybe I am incredibly sheltered, and have no friends, but the only pet peeve I had from this was the open mouth chewing. I'll be going back in my cave now!
ReplyDeleteStill one of my favourite pictures of you! Got to love a girl that good at the side eye. Sunday drivers are the worst. I swear they are all on a Sunday schedule here. :)
ReplyDeleteClosed roads with no warning. Yes this happened to me as well on the way to your house. Thankfully you answered your phone. The nerve!
