pet peeves

Rude lazy people.

I think I loathe folks that ride on the coat tails of others so that in the end they are left with nothing but themselves. Whether it be co-workers, family members, so called friends there is just something about inconsiderate folks and lazy folks that are the worst.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I almost feel better for saying that..almost

I have known many people who manage to get by without doing a lick of work. How they survive amazes me, but they do.

I have had to pull the work loads of some of these people. They can also be the nicest people so when visitors coming into the shop think they are the best. But I knew they would slink away as soon as the visitors left.

The biggest thing is they would have the gall to complain they were being worked to death and they had no time to themselves. Part of me wanted to give the smackdown, but the other part brushed it off and did my work.

I want to say they will get theirs in the long run, but we both know that ain't true.

Oh I know.. I did have one ex-work friend from years agol. was so jealous of me that she did some really nasty things behind my back.. she recently applied for a managerial job and went home early because she found out she was't the cat's meow. SO in that case justice was served.. but took like 10 years!

People who stand and talk in front of the coffee machines at work...URGH...get your @%*@$*@ coffee and move on. Also the same people stand in doorways and near the stairs doing the same thing.

And could you walk a slower ?!?...yeah maybe if you were dead. Well I work in an office with 425 people in it. Oh boy!

In the elevator in the basement...somebody runs to get in..."Are you going Up?" ..."Oh boy let's hope so!" Well anyway people in general drive me nuts. I always think that would be a great theme for a Blog..."Things that drive you nuts"..but I am sure it has been done to death in one form or another.

A big pet peeve is people who talk on the phone while driving. What did they do before the cellphone? Is it that important it can't wait until you reach your destination?

I never ever talk on the phone when I'm driving. It annoys me to have someone even call me when I'm driving. It's my alone time. Now unless it is an emergency or something dont' do it!!!

I get tired of "overly needy" people. What is it about this world that differs even from when I was a kid in the 80's? Why do people not have to be held responsible anymore? Simple things too and they don't know how. We can blame the education all day long but when stuff is tacked up to common sense where did my generation especially go wrong??

There are many who say it was the Baby Boomers who started the "Me" trend and the one where no one takes responsibility.

Even the movie "The Breakfast Club" is very well loved because every one of those teens blames their parents for why they are in there.

They spoiled us and we were raised to now blame everyone else for all of our problems except for looking in the mirror at the real culprit.

Meanwhile, China and the rest of the world are now beating us by leaps and bounds in education and many other areas.

Talking is bad but, texting is worse, and yesterday I saw a guy trying to read his newspaper.

What is wrong with people?

I can just hear them in court, "But judge, I had to check the sports page, it wasn't my fault
that kid rode his bike out in front of me."

I saw a lady reading a book. I beeped at her. she didn't even look up..

My husband and I both say in unison many times, in our best Arnold Schwarzenegger voice..."I hope you get a brain toooma" when we see people driving and yaking on their cell phone.
