Pet Peeves...

Oh come on - we all have them. Yes, even you!

And me.

I admit it.

And I bitch about them....

Only I do it when alone, so no one hears.

Funny how little things can drive you up a wall. Stupid little things...

Like not shutting doors.

Oh, I'm not talking just about outside doors - I mean cabinet, closet and pantry doors.

And I am not the one leaving them open.

Therefore, it has to be the roomie. Or a ghost. But since the house is only a year old I tend to think roomie.

I can walk into the kitchen at any time of day or night and there it is...the pantry door standing open. Anywhere from a few inches to completely open, door swung out all the way.

I then can turn around - go into the bathroom and the linen closet door will be open. Why? I haven't a clue. Plenty of toilet paper on the thingie...tissues on the back of the toilet....toothpaste in the drawer...clean towels on the rack.

Next, we approach the laundry room and yep - there it is...the door to the garage...open.

Mom used to say, "you were not born in a barn - shut the door!"

Me? I am going to start leaving notes...post it notes....

"Please shut the pantry door. The canned goods have complained they can't sleep due to the light."

"Please shut the linen closet door. I'm tired of hearing the towels and sheets bitch about not having any privacy."

"Please shut the door to the garage. The garage called and said its getting too warm in there from the furnace running all the time."

Ok, ok...enough about doors.

How about people who mix up there/their? Or our/are? Especially when its a manager making the big bucks at your last place of employment....yea, the one that laid you off due to financial problems.

Or, people who drive way under the speed limit on the interstate - in the left lane.

Ok, ok...I'll stop. But you have to admit - we all have pet peeves.

What are yours?
