Pet Peeves

I used to think that I didn't have any pet peeves, but the older I get the more I realize I do. Here are just a few I can think of off the top of my head:

• People who talk on their cell phones while in a public bathroom stall. Now that is just kinda gross if you ask me. We have lived most of lives without the convenience of cell phones, now all of a sudden we have to take all calls even when nature is calling at the same time? I don't get it.

• It really bothers me when people that I have been introduced to more than once, still can't remember who I am or that they have met me before. I can understand not remembering someone's name after only one brief introduction, but if you have been introduced to or spoken with someone 3 -4 times you should be able to remember it!!! I guess it just really makes me feel insignificant.

• I pride myself on being a good listener. When I have conversations with people, I listen to what they are saying. I ask questions and show interest. One of my biggest pet peeves are people who constantly talk about themselves and show no interest in what I have to say. Even if I manage to get a word or two in they usually change the subject right back to themselves. I find that to be very annoying and a little rude.

OK, well that's enough complaining. I hope this blog doesn't turn into one big complaining rant. People have said that I really don't complain much, so maybe that is why it is coming out here in writing.
