Pet Peeves

When I order a cup of decaf at a restaurant "with lots of cream" and they bring me a cup filled tto the brim. Excuse me, but how do I put cream in that?

Oh, and, um... could I get a spoon, please? What's with restaurants giving me two forks and a knife but no spoon? I guess the dish ran away with it when the cow jumped over the moon.

All food in airports costs at least six dollars, regardless of quantity or quality. I once saw a small, flat, limp chicken salad sandwich, made with two thin slices of white bread, being sold for $8.85. Seriously.

New pet peeve!!!

People who think they can whistle(I can’t whistle, but at least I know that and I don’t inflict my attempts on others..)

People who stand behind you when you are busy or occupied and don't let you know they are there and scare the besnickers out of you. Even if they "can't" whistle, they should make an attempt to alert you!

I smack my feet when walking up to my Nana so I don't scare her.

That's very thoughtful of you. When I am coming up on someone who may not know I am there, I either whistle (yes, I can!), hum or sing.

Another peeve: when people just start talking to me without alerting me first by saying my name or "excuse me," or some such, especially if the tv is on. I don't hear well any more and it works best for me if you give me a second to hit Mute or Pause so I don't have to say, "Sorry, what?" And especially if I'm sleeping! Why would you just walk up and start talking to someone who is obviously SLEEPING??? You know who you are, we've had this conversation before! (Not anybody here, obvi.) Thanks, I feel better!

One of my pet peeves is insanely slow drivers. Not careful drivers, or people who go the proper speed limit ALL the time...I'm talking about those who are constantly well under the speed limit on busy roads. Like, it's honestly more annoying than random people speeding by you. At that point, just walk wherever you're going. Get out of my way, lol.

People used to come up behind me at work and scare me, sometimes on purpose. I took it in fun (I was sitting down at a computer). I told them that if they did it when I had a cup of coffee in my hand, they would be wearing it.
