Some Pet Peeves

We all have pet peeves, little things that bug us. I won’t lie, I have many. 
 
People smacking gum or chewing it loudly
Failing to cover your mouth when coughing
Failing to discipline your kids
Someone who complains or whines constantly
People with the “gimmies”

The one I want to talk about today is the person who constantly changes the radio station just because there’s a song on they don’t like. You know the one. They have every button in their car tuned to a different station and drives with one hand on the wheel and the other on the radio. They spend so much time searching for a song they like they never hear an entire song. If they left the station alone the song would be over in a couple of minutes and the next one might be one they like and they’ll actually get to hear it from the beginning. This person also hates talk radio or news. As soon as the news comes on they switch the station. Maybe the news is something you really need to hear.  

Now this person may be the same way with the TV. A commercial comes on and they change the station only to be met with 5 more commercials before they end back at the original channel and the program has restarted and now they’ve missed some of it.  


LEAVE THE REMOTE ALONE. It’s only a couple of minute’s worth of ads. Use that time to go to the bathroom, fix a snack or give your brain a rest, but stop irritating me.

Oh my! That's my daughter to a tee. I swear I'm not sure she's ever heard a complete song in her life. She just can't sit still long enough. She's got her hand on the dial the whole time we're in the car. Frustrating.

Keteedyd....Thanks for the award.


Lisa....I actually had someone in mind when I wrote that. It drives me batty. I have no problem listening to a song I don't like because I know it will be over soon.
