Pet Peeves: 'Annoying Co-Worker'

If you have EVER worked in your life, you probably know that person; the annoying co-worker.

We all know who that is - it's that person who steps into the room and all laughters and talking turns to silence. It's that person who enters the lunch area, and everybody's lunch 'happens' to be over. It's that person that likes to whisper crap in your ear and they haven't brushed their teeth for weeks. It's that person that invites themselves to walk with you to the bus stop. It's that person who laughs like a hyena... at his/her own jokes. It's the same person you're trying to get fired but can't manage to.

Honestly, if you have never had that annoying co-worker... more than likely, that person is YOU!

Pet Peeves: "Those Who Do NOT Comment EVER on any Blogs..."

Pet Peeve: 'Pedestrians - Part 1 - Look Both Ways Before You Cross!

What I think is funny - stupid people that do NOT bother to look either way before crossing the street. I'm sorry, but I grew up being taught (and I'm still pretty sure it's being taught in schools) to look BOTH ways BEFORE crossing the street... cause one of these days, someone is going to get hit by a car... and I'll be the one driving that car.

But some people assume that cars will yield, but let's say if I'm going 30 mph and I look down at the time on my radio and look back up, in that split second, anything could happen. And some pedestrians are too busy in their own little walking world, listening to their ipods or on a cell phone... well, what if I was on a cell phone driving, well then... I know I got MY seatbelt on. I also have a airbag to protect me.

Pedestrians wrapped up in winter clothes couldn't protect themselves from MY car.

So, conclusion... LOOK before you cross the streets even if it doesn't seem busy. Because if you don't, it's going to be Jay = 1, pedestrian = 0.

Pet Peeve: 'Use your turning signal when I'm behind YOU!'

First of all, I don't use my turning signal when I drive all the time, who cares, right? But what gets on my nerves is the fact that some people just don't even care.

Picture this...

Say you're driving to work or an appointment and you're already running late. You're in a two way street with two lanes on each side. Say there's two cars initially on the road (on your side) and it's only you and the person in front of you. Then both of you guys come to stop at a redlight.

Everything sounds fine so far, right? But then 20 cars come... some behind you, then there's plenty of cars next to you. Tons of cars oncoming waiting at the light as you are.

The light turns green.

"What the hell?! Why isn't the person in front of me not going?!"

Of course, after honking at them, they decide to turn their turning signal on letting you know they're taking a left turn. Now you can't switch lanes because you seem too close to them, plus, the right lane cars won't let you in. After the light turns to red, AGAIN, he finally turns leaving you stuck at the same light.

Now, if that person would've simply acknowledged you behind them and turned their signal on earlier, you couldn't switched lanes when there were no cars around and you couldn't been on your way.... but NNNOOOOOO... you're stuck at the same light.

If I just described you... you are the reason people get road rage.

Pet Peeves - Slow Drivers

My first official entry for 'pet peeves.'

I was driving to work the other day - late as usual - and of course I get stuck behind the slowest driver. I couldn't pass him (or her) either because we were on a single lane street. I understand if they're lost or a student driver or something, but come on!

The speed limit is 25 mph on the side streets and this person was going less than 20. Are you serious?! 20?! Of course, this person decides they want to guide me all the way to my job.

You would think by tailgating them, that they would get the point but no.

So, I tried to be slick and take another side street to go around. If I went fast enough, I could end up on the main street in front of them...

I guess I wasn't fast enough. As I went around the corner, there they were driving slowly but surely right past me.

"Damn!"

I was late for work. Oh well, at least it doesn't happen on a regular basis.
