Pet Peeves
Here you go my second installment. Trying to hold down the fort as wifey deals with work. I want to talk about my pet peeves. We all have them. Stuff that just drives us bonkers!!!! I have a few or about 10. I would love to hear back from you about what makes you cringe.
1. Smokers who stand right outside the exits when they smoke. Dude just go inside the lobby, the crap wreaks from two blocks away. I am baffled to as why there aren't signs posted in front of buildings or more places don't have designated spots.
2. People who get on elevators and press a button that is already lit up. Get a life donkey. He must think after he hits the button the elevator will magically get to the 12th floor quicker because he touched the button.
3. People who over use or hell use buzzwords period. I hate them. The one I hate the most is grass roots. What in God's name does that mean. I have a co-worker that must have a mini guide with every buzzword known in it. He sends out an email at least 45% of the email is a buzzword. Lets level set this, and counter act that, lets double back and populate the circumvention of the lateral movements. GIVE ME A BREAK. Thank god he is on leave for two months. I think he went on leave because he ran out of buzzwords.
4. People who press the walk signal button at traffic lights and don't wait for the light to change. Oh do they get an earful. I need to discuss this no further.
5. People who tell you I will call you right back and don't. What is the proper time frame for right back? I think its 20 to 30 minutes.
6. The WWE divas. They take up too much time on tv. I know I must be in the minority here, but I have Zero Craving for something that looks like a flotation device.
Well that is all for now. I will be back soon with some childhood memories.

Now I can leave you the eprops you deserve! (This is Ash again!)
*From Ashley* - I completely agree with all of these. And the funny thing is, you are totally rubbing off on me because I don't think half of these things would have bothered me before I met you. All except #5, I generally don't care if people call me back or not.
I think you left off people who drive a Prius!
@bridil - The Prius story is coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey guys! I've been in NYC so I missed a couple of postings and am catching up now. This is going to be a cool switcharoo to have Brian. I'm looking forward to those Beantown childhood memories. But wait - why can't I press the walk signal light?
I laughed out loud at numbers 2. I've never understood that elevator thing, either. I think they think the doors will immediately close if they push the number again, but if that's the intended effect, why not just push the 'close doors' button?
As for number 3, we'll just have to agree to disagree. :)
@maiuri - Allison you can hit the walk light button to your hearts content, just wait for it to change please
@Big Sis - Tinelle you don't strike me as a buzzworder.
