Pet Peeves
Some Of My Pet Peeves


         If some of these make you angry, I'm sorry.  I have yet to have anyone apologize to me for some of these Pet Peeves.



         I realize I'm getting old, I thought I'd share a few things that really get my goat.  Here goes.


1.  On the highway, people who wait until the last minute to merge into your lane.  There's no room though, my bumper almost touches the bumper of the vehicle in front of me.

2.  Saying "Thank You" to someone, their response is either "Of Course!", or maybe "No Problerm".  My take on this....  I am thanking you for doing something polite, a reply of "No Problem" means that what you did politely was not a problem.  Hmmmmmm.  Responding with "Of Course" tells me this.  Of course you say thank you, you old man.  Like I said, I'm getting old, or am old.

3.  Someone in traffic passes you and pulls in right in front of you.  There you sit at the stoplight with them in front.  What did they gain by doing that?  Not one thing, other than being one car length ahead of you.  OR they'll pull in front of you on a highway, then slow tro a slower speed than you have been cruising at all this time.  It does make me wonder.

4.  This next one might make some of you mad, but here goes.  A person who identifies themself as "He/him" (She/Her), and tells you they are non-binary.  I beg to differ.  If we both dropped our pants, we'd see one of two things.  Male genitalia, or Female genitalia.  I have to wonder about this 'Non-Binary' idea and where it came from.  Frankly I don't care what you think you are, be who you want to be.  There's no need to post it in every written message from you,  You will never find me saying, "I'm a man, an old man.  I identify as a human male."

5.  People who think they are right all the time, but when you check on what was said or written, you find they are completely wrong.  One of my best friends at Motorola would tell us how smart they were.  I have found that those who are very smart (Intelligent, High IQ, whatever), don't talk about it, or brag to others about their intelligence.  Those that do have high IQ's or are very intelligent don't talk about it.


         Believe it or not, that's all I can think of right now.  There are more, many more.  My mind is just blank right now.  I'm sure some of you have your own Pet Peeves.  Share them with me if you like.  If you prefer to stay Anonymous, send them to me in an email.  I promise I will not share them with any one else.
