Pet Peeves

Don't we all have those things that just annoy you beyond belief? I know I do. Little things. Insignificant nonsense.

Leaving things to dry after washing up.
Sorry, but we have tea towels. That's what they're there for. Dry it up and put it away for crying out loud, washing up isn't done until the kitchen is cleared and everything put away.

Half-emptying the dishwasher.
It is possible that this only annoys me because I live with other people, but here's the thing: leaving the dishwasher half empty gives me doubts as to whether or not it has been run. I don't want to put dirty stuff in the cupboards. I don't want to run things twice. It's normally possible to see if things are clean, or smell it, but sometimes you've got THAT ONE THING that doesn't wash properly. grrr. we hatessss  it.

Distracted Cashiers.
have you ever been in a queue, looking over at two working tills, and still not been acknowledged? I have. And I hate it. See, I will typically walk up to the till when the cashier acknowledges my presence, that way I know they're open and ready, not, you know, just about to close or on their break. Or worse still, on the phone and consistently looking in the opposite direction. This happens every time I need something from Costcutter. And no, I don't shop there if I can avoid it.

Other People's Mess.
I don't mind my own.

Misplaced games/DVD discs.
So lots of people have this habit of putting the disc in the cover of the one they put in next. Or the first empty one available. It drives me mad! MAD! I once followed a trail of at least 5 misplaced discs. After the 3rd one I got annoyed.

Being asked if I'm ok because 
A) I'm quiet or
B) I've got a funny face.

A) I can go for weeks without talking, what makes today different? and B) IT'S MY FACE! Stop insulting my face.

Are you annoyed?
No I'm not. No I'm not. No I'm not. I wasn't until the third time you asked. NOW I'm annoyed.

Dirty bus windows.
I like to be able to see out. Because I don't know the area, or the bus route, well enough to know it on the feels. And because....

Local Buses don't announce their next stop.
You know, because people know the bus route well enough to not have to depend on that information to be available on the bus. Except I'm not that local and I've only been on this bus a couple of times before, WITH company.

Bus service that runs once an hour.
It's just stupid.

Being Late.
I can't stand being late. It's embarrassing. It's basically a huge sign saying "I can't manage my time!" And you know, it annoys me when other people are late too. Punctuality is a big deal for me.
