11/30 pet peeves

Describe 10 pet peeves you have.

1 - Saying one thing and doing another - Now, I know everyone does this on occassion.  But it bothers me, for example, when someone says "i'll take care of _______ for you" Or " I'll have it done by________", or "I'll meet you here and we can hang out", and then you get the excuse.  Oh, i'm sorry, i decided to do this instead.  Oh, i'm sorry, I forgot (yeah, right),  I'm sorry, we can hang out another day.  Just tell me the truth, straight up, right away.  When i ask if you want to go somewhere, and you say yes, but you really don't want to and you make plans with someone else...... Yeah, that pisses me off

2 - Acting like the world owes you something - The world doesn't owe you anything.  You have to work for it, same as everyone else.  When you sit on your A** and do nothing, and still expect everything to come to you it proves you're selfish and arrogant, and that drives me up the wall

3 - Constantly being depressed - Unless you are clinicaly depressed (and i'm talking on anti-depressants and talking to a psych on a regular basis depressed) stop being so pessimistic.  Seriously, the world is not THAT bad.  Yeah, it sucks sometimes.  Yeah, there can be periods where everything goes wrong.  BUT, there is always something good in your life.  Stop focusing on the bad and start focusing on the good, and i promise you will either A) notice more good in your life, or B) attract more good into your life.  Just saying.

4 - Being a messy guest - If you come over for dinner, for example, and you leave your plate in the living room when you're finished eating.  Or you come over and play games and get all kinds of things out and don't clean up your mess.  I work hard to keep up with my house, and yeah it gets cluttered.  I've got two kids who can make plenty of messes.  I don't need the guests making messes too.  K?  thanks

5 - Being told i'm making things up - When i say i'm hurting, i'm hurting.  When i say i'm tired, i'm tired.  Just because you can't SEE it, doesn't mean it's not there

6 - Expecting the impossible - I am only one woman.  You can't expect me to do EVERYTHING.  So please please please stop making me feel bad when i can't get it all done. 

7 - Telling me how to raise my kids - No offense, but you're advice is not welcome unless i ask for it.  And even then, don't expect me to follow it to the letter.  The way i raise my kids is right for us, so butt out of it, k?

8 - Ruining a movie or TV show by telling me the ending - If it's a show i enjoy watching, please don't ruin it for me.  Some of us don't like to know what's gonna happen before it does

9 - Giving me the WOW face when i haven't read a certain book, seen a certain movie, or visited a certain place. - Give me a break.  I have things i like, and things i don't.  So please don't expect me to have done all of the same things you have.  I might take them into account when looking for something new to do, but don't push them on me.

10 - Religion being forced down my throat - When i go to a food pantry, i'm not there to be SAVED.  I'm there to put food on the table.  I understand you think that Jesus is the savoir of all, and that if i'm not Saved, i'm gonna go to hell.  Truth be told, i don't believe in hell.  It's your hell, you burn in it.  Just give me the food we need, i will thank you, and then i'll be on my way.

I'm sure i have more, but those are the top 10 (at the current moment and in my current frame of mind)

I am thankful that the vast majority of people in my life know the things that bother me and do their very best to avoid them.  I have the greatest friends and family in the world.
