Pet peeves! We all have them! Come on, admit it.. even you ...yes you in the cubicle.. even you have at least one pet peeve! What are those tiny little things in life that get to you just enough to not be a big deal but still make you want to scratch your head and go " HUH?" !!

Here are a few of my sillier ones:

FUN SIZE - Who invented this? Okay sure .. as a kid its "fun" to pocket a sweet candybar bite in one hand to snack on when syblings arent looking... its compact size allows you to stuff more in a halloween treat bag when out trolling for your innocent adolescent annual sugar rush.. or gained you instant popularity points socially in the school lunchroom when you crack out the "fun size" goodies hungry eyes zoom in on...but lets face it ... when you reach adulthood... is this tiny little size really living up to its name anymore? This little fun size becomes a adult nightmare! Its so small, how could this possibly fill you up! Its so small you simply cant stop at just one .. what kind of chocolate fix would it be if you stopped at ONE!!! Before you know it youve consumed three or four or .....more and repeat this process often as .. they are small you can fit lots in a treat bag !! Next thing you know your at the gym sweatin like a pig, sit ups, push ups, treadmill all to drop those pesky extra chocolate fix pounds... your mind drifts off to a visual of that little candy treat and you can only ask yourself ......"Are we having FUN yet ?" :)


Wedgies and Rideups:

Why is it we can land on the moon, build massive technological wonders that fuel the progress and advancement of mankind.. but we cant seem to manufacture a pair of undergarments that wont migrate for the great divide of our bodies southern hemisphere!!! I positively hate when this happens.. your walking along... disillusioned to the full belief that you are cool! You da man! when * flooop!* there you are... in the middle of public and faced with a choice of how to solve the perdicament! Do you try a new walking step in hopes the excess cloth thats now bunched up your backsides will take part in a miracle and magically drop back to form fitting comfort? Do you duck in what you imagine to be hidden corners, hallways or doorways in hopes of manually manuevering the offending garment back to covering its intended assests? Or do you just take caution to the winds and reach round and solve the issue regardless of public comment or opinion. Hear ye! Hear ye!! All you engineers, scientists, and inventors! Can you apply your skills to "cover" this issue :))


Sneezing while driving:

This is one of those things that doesnt happen often enough to be a widely voiced pet peeve but it exists none the less! Your tooling down the road, 4 lanes of traffic, high rate of speed, darting traffic and along comes a sneeze and your fearing for your life as you struggle to keep your eyes open until the event is over! If your like me who always sneezes 3-4 times in a row... road rage is stressful enough in todays traffic.. lets NOT add the element of suspense to it by sneezing and find yourself steering a large box of careening metal with your eyes closed!

There are many more I could go on with but for the purpose of this post .. perhaps this is plenty! If you share any of these with me .. let me hear about it !! If you have some of your own you would like to vent about .. let me hear about it !! If you have no pet peeves whatsoever and your perfectly happy and content with llife and all its moments.... wait 24 hours till the happy pills wear off .. then . Tell me about it!!

Have a superduper day!

Todays Poem:

Pet peeves rear from time to time
annoying moments in life to find
some are silly and make no sense
some are logical, I do confess

Each can cause our head to question
amusing views that warrant attention
we ask "Huh?" or wonder why..
how on earth that could fly...

No fancy mirrors
or tricks up the sleeve
just lifes humor
showing its latest pet peeve!

Thanks for reading.
