Pet Peeves

I thought I'd mention some of my pet peeves

1.  People who don't use turn signals.  Seriously, folks.  That's very selfish and an accident waiting to happen. Turn signals are used to alert OTHERS of where you're going so they don't slam into you.  If you care about your life and your car and the lives of others, USE them.

2.  People who get on dating sites saying they're just looking for friends, when we all know very well that diving into a pool filled with single people is no way to make "just friends."  Fess up.  We all know you're trying to find someone special.

3.  Large women who wear cut-off shirts who seriously shouldn't be showing off their stomachs.  Seriously, people--if you look like you have a giant spare tire for a belly, be honest with yourself...if a guy with a giant Buddah belly did that, would you want to see that uncovered when you were out and about at a supermarket?

4.  Old guys driving around in convertible sports cars who think they're cool.  While, yes, I fully understand that they probably just NOW are able to afford that sports car, the "cool" effect left the building once they lost most of their hair and had so many wrinkles their face looks like a road map.  If I can afford a sports car when I'm older, I'm going to make it a point NOT to buy a convertible and perhaps even have the windows tinted so I don't look like a fool trying to relive my youth.  LOL

5.  People who drive too fast in residential neighborhoods or parking lots.  Seriously.  That's how people get killed, folks.  SLOW DOWN.

6.  People who think marijuana isn't a drug.  Really?  Put some in your hand and show it to a local police officer.  I bet he/she'll disagree.  :)

7.  People who say they only drink socially, but then go out all the time so their social drinking becomes a very often sort of occurrence.  If you do it all the time, it's no longer social drinking.  It's an AA meeting waiting to happen.

8.  People who smoke.  Get that disgusting smelling cancer-filled stuff AWAY from my nostrils!

9.  Restaurants that are so loud or have so many people that I can't make out what in the heck even the person next to me is saying.

10.  People who have sex with people they don't love.  Sheesh.  Just masturbate people.  It's the better choice than being a ho.

11.  People who don't have balance.  Yes, while mental stability is EXTREMELY important, that's not the kind of balance I'm talking about.  I see people who always talk about God, or are SOLELY into artsy endeavors or SOLELY into nerdy endeavors or SOLELY into sports.  While it's inspiring when someone is passionate about something, that also rules single people out from TONS of different types of people if they aren't more well-rounded.  Take me for example.  While I do love antiques, vintage stuff, history, and art and can be considered somewhat artsy due to that, I also love superheroes and computers and fantasy based things so can be a bit nerdy as well.  In addition, I love looking at nature and scenery and study nutrition and such so I'm also very earthy and natural, although I prefer to do the "looking" with sunblock and bug spray or from a distance.  So, it's good to be well-rounded.  It allows you to have more topics to discuss with others.

12.  People who ditch furniture just because it's not new.  With a little patience and effort, you can make some vintage or antique item shine again and not only will it probably be made out of something that is more natural and far superior than anything made today, but it will have a little history, too, which is something you can pass down to your family.

13.  People who curse.  I mean, if you ever get really mad or frustrated or drop a bowling ball on your foot, I can see that as a good reason.  But otherwise, it just makes a person sound like an idiot with the IQ of a brick.

14.  Women who say they don't need makeup but, in effect, they REALLY REALLY REALLY do.  LOL.  Of course, we're all afraid to tell them that, but we sure wish someone would.

15.  How younger men often have great locks of hair and let it grow some, but then for some strange reason once they hit 18 they buzz it all off (At least down here) and I find myself surrounded by these thuggish looking dudes who look like they all just joined the army in the 1960s.  I've always kept medium length hair for a reason.  Not only does it de-emphasize the size of my large brain-filled cranium, but I know that, one day, I may not have it to enjoy.  So, enjoy it while you can, guys.  Stop shaving it all off.

16.  Piercings other than your ears.  Seriously.  Why do you people think it looks attractive looking like you were the unfortunate by-standard in a fishing accident?  Trust me, it's not cute, and it's SUPER distracting.  It's very difficult for me to look into a woman's eyes if all I can see is this shiny thing on her nose.

17.  I don't like tattoos to begin with, but the super annoying people to me are the ones who are SUPER beautiful people who get them, ruining the gorgeous skin that they were given.  As an example, if you look like a Supermodel and cover 1/2 your torso with a tattoo, you've not only lost the perfect natural beauty that you were born with, but it also dropped your IQ down to about 2 for doing that.  I mean, if you're driving around in a Lamborghini, you don't put a giant picture of Snoopy on the front of the car.  You leave the car ALONE because it's awesome just the way that it is.

18.  People who dress up their pets all the time.  Seriously, folks.  JUST HAVE SEX WITH SOMEONE OR GO TO A SPERM BANK and get the kids you so obviously desire.  LOL

19.  How Facebook seems to change things about every 6 months, so once I get used to how things are, they move them around on me.

20.  How young men's clothing all looks like someone sprayed graffiti on them.  Being a smaller male, I'm forced to shop in the young men's department.  This means it sometimes takes me eons to find something that doesn't make me look like a NY subway station wall or a walking billboard advertisement for whoever manufactured the clothes.

21.  Women who show non-stop cleavage.  As a male, I WANT to look, but that's the problem.  Not having grown up with that, it's difficult to make eye contact when a woman wears stuff like that around me.  So, if she wants to be with me, she seriously needs to save it for the beach or the bedroom.  Or else I'm going to seriously get to know her boobs very well.  And her face?  Not so much.  Seriously--that's like shining a flashlight on the floor and expecting a cat not to be enamored by it.  So, want me to look up?  Then cover those puppies up a little.

22.  People who complain that they're too big or can't lose any weight, but they eat tons of pasta, wheat-based products, or junk food.  A calorie is a calorie folks, no matter where it comes from.  Do the math.  Look how the Japanese eat--little bitty portions and several tiny little meals throughout the day.  Not gargantuan-sized portions filled with calorie-dense foods.  It should be a no-brainer why we're now the most overweight and obese country on the planet.

23.  People who have so much energy they can never seem to sit down or constantly need to be entertained or they get bored.  Wow--they SO won't last in a long-term relationship with kids, will they?

Well, that's it for now!  Trust me--there's more!  LOL
