Let's Look! (April)

 

Happy Wednesday, friends! I'm linking up today with Shay and Erika for this month's topic of "let's look at pet peeves". I thought this would be funny to write and to read, so I made a last minute decision to join in with them. I'll share a few of mine and would love to hear a few of yours for laughs.

I get really aggravated when someone is on their phone the majority of the time that we're together. One of my sons did this at my dad's birthday a couple of weeks ago, and I wanted to reach across the table and knock it out of his hands. I refrained, and I didn't even say anything, because he's a grown man. But PUT THE DANG PHONE DOWN, already. I have also seen older people be guilty of this, so don't just assume it's a young people problem. Now, I know there are times when we all have to check our phones, but when I'm with someone and have to do that, I always give an explanation. There's etiquette about phone usage, so I try to be mindful. 

Also, while on the topic of phones, it drives me crazy when people talk on the phone while in the restroom. I've been known to flush the toilet multiples times or clear my throat loudly to try and send a hint to them. It's rude! 

I laughed when I saw this meme, because I do not love grammatical mistakes. I was just telling Todd that I use Grammerly at work all the time and I love it so much! Also, it turns out that my son Graham is just like me on this, and that may or may not be his new nickname. 

I'll wrap this up with one last pet peeve—all pertaining to driving. It bugs me when people skip a long line of cars when the lanes are merging to then be let over in front of all of us that they just skipped. I've been known to block them from doing that. I also don't like when someone passes me on the left, cuts me off to jump in front of me again, and then turns right, right in front of me. I don't love backseat driving from the riders in the vehicle, and jerky driving makes me carsick. I am a good driver and prefer to be the one driving, but when others drive, I try my best not to "help" them or flinch or comment when they do something that bothers me.

It's your turn! What's your biggest pet peeve? Thanks for reading my blog, friends! Love to all.
