Pet Peeves

Teachers not responding to emails! Especially when that's the primary contact info they provide.

When one of my employees whines about how tired she is after working only 4 hours in the afternoons 4 dYs a week. Especially when I'm working 12 hour days and haven't had a full day off in over 4 weeks. Waaahh.

E-mailers who cc: the world on every message they send.

Random people who suggest a diagnosis for my kid at a party when they have literally known me for 20 minutes.

Like fuck you. No. He's not Autistic. No he's not on the spectrum.

And then they start lecturing me on putting him on a gluten free, caesin free diet.

Argghhh!

People that care nothing for history and what's come before them. Cannot deal with it.

Jehovah's Witnesses who come by because my name is on their list of people who don't want a visit and ask if I want a visit. I kid you not! Enough already!

People who are careless with other peoples' things - especially tools *grrrr*!!!

Our credit union's website main page has like a rotating set of stock images of like shit you could buy if you borrowed money or something. And one of them is a kid completely inadequately and illegally buckled into his car seat. It makes me crazy.

Our best friends had their first baby 3 months ago. He is wonderful and perfect and adorable. My pet peeve: they call it feeding him or say he is eating or needed to eat. It's weird. It's nursing or breastfeeding. He isn't eating. Drinking maybe but really nursing. It's like they have an aversion to the terms which is just weird.

Users who misuse the word error. It is not an error just because you don't understand.

OK. It is stupid enough to let your kids play with toy guns but if you are going to let them do it, at least teach them not to point the guns at people's faces.

People who don't respect animals

My wife has been sitting/laying around for 2 days saying she feels too bad to do anything. And then she went out to work in the yard! Arggghh

When people kill harmless snakes just because it's a snake. Ok, so it's not everyone's favorite animal. I get that, it's not mine either, but that doesn't mean I need to kill them just because I don't like them. Our stupid ass lawn guys killed the rat snake that's been hanging around in the backyard this spring. He was beautiful, about 5' long and was keeping the vermin away. The dumb ass guy said, "It hissed at me." Really? Because a squirrel hissed at me last week, but I didn't chop its fucking head off! Seriously, a bite from a cute furry squirrel is probably 10x worse than a bite from a non-venomous snake, moron.

Shel - Agreed. I'm not a huge fan but they serve their purpose. A few years we were standing in the street showing the kids one that was crossing the road (residential street - not busy) and a neighbor ran out of his house with a hoe and chopped it up! In front of the kids! Why? What if it's poisonous? Dumb shit - it wasn't!
