Posted in Pet Peeves on Oct 30th, 2007
I admit this is a trivial topic today, but isn’t that the theme of this site? :) This is one of those little things that bug me whenever I experience it, and this morning was one of those times. So first thing that comes to mind is to come on over and share.
I like a [...]

So what is it about people that are so overly concerned with being a part of the latest style trends that they will wear things that look oh so ridiculous on them? Though you expect this to some degree with teenagers and college types, when you get a little “older” you just need to [...]

This is a small, petty one, but one that bothers me nonetheless. Our family consumes plenty of ranch dressing. My family did I grew up in, and we continue to do so. My wife is the only one that prefers most anything other than ranch, but the rest of pretty much stick with it. Ranch [...]

A little rant the other day about shared bathroom etiquette made me remember another topic I wanted to share about the bathroom, particularly public bathrooms. I don’t want everyone to think that I have a hang-up with bathrooms, quite the opposite, I really don’t think about it much. What I do think about, [...]

If I could sum up the problems in modern society, it would be this: people in general do not take responsibility for their own actions. This is one of my all time biggest pet peeves. We have created the problem over the course of generations, and with each subsequent generation we are making [...]

I have traveled a bit in my still fairly young career. Not as much as some jet set people I know that have worked in sales most all of their working lives, but more than what I think the average person have. As part of that travel, I have heard many, many accents [...]
