Ok, so this is the first meme I have ever participated in and I’ve got to say I’m a little excited. I was tagged by Kim from Sandbox Gems. Who by the way, has the cutest site. :0)
Here goes, 7 things that really burn my wicker:
1. People that are totally oblivious of others around them. You know what I mean. They are the ones that walk out right in front of you without giving you a sideways glance because they are so engrossed in what they are doing that they can’t be bothered enough to look out for who or what is around them. AND then to make matters worse, they simply just stop walking causing you to walk right into them because they were going to darn slow to begin with. UGGGHH
2. People who put dishes or cups into the empty sink when they know perfectly well the dishwasher is being loaded for a wash. Now, I won’t say specifically WHO that may be, but you know who you are. I’m watching….always…. watching!
3. Customer Service people who give you an attitude when you call. When are they going to realize that the only reason they are getting paid IS to take your call and solve the problem? That is their job. Don’t like it, don’t go to work there.
4. Mechanics who talk down to you because you’re a woman and therefore cannot possibly understand why anything needs to be done to your car. I don’t think I need to explain this one. It’s pretty much all there. One of these day’s I’m going to go all “hysterical woman” on them just to see what they do. They should be afraid, very afraid. :0)
5. People who talk to you instead of with you. Do you know anyone like this? They are the ones who you can spend hours on the phone with, yet only get in 5 sentences the entire time.
6. Grounds in my coffee. Don’t like them. They ruin my day.
7. Waiting. Period.
Alrighty then. LOL Breath! Man did that feel good. Now I’m going to pass the baton and tag a few more that might be interested in spilling the beans.

TAG! Now its your turn.
Adriana,
Sooo very nice to meet you! [gasp], I’ve never done this before, I’d love to do this!
You have a great blog yourself. Love getting to know people!
#1 on your list IS one of my biggest pet peeves! So exasperating!
OK…I’ll be working on mine.
the customer service attitude is the worst! makes me not want to buy from a company again!
[...] to bed early. No designs, no cleaning, no email and no blog posting. But then I was tagged by The Busy Peppermill on this meme and I couldn’t wait to sit down and write my post! Oh, and I’m also [...]
I have to agree with #2 most of all. Okay probably 7 too. I am not a patient person.
Oh and congrats on your Versatile Blogger Award. I didn’t have a chance to post a comment but I do think that’s awesome for you!
Thanks Adriana for the nice comment and for participating! It feels good to vent every now and again. Life’s little irritations that I am sure everyone can relate to. Whew! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
I am in total agreement on 1. In fact just now we went to Lowes to get some plants for the yard, and some lady gets out of her car, heads to the baskets parked by my car, I’m on my way out of my car and starting to the other side to get the type of basket I need, and she just starts huffing towards me not even looking. I hope she has a tree fall on her while she’s there. That’s karma for you baby!!!!
I hate anyone who talks to me “like a woman” ~ even some women. No where this bothers me more than in church and religious discussions. A few years ago, I started a woman’s Sunday School class for this very reason. It’s been such a blessing in so many ways.
Thank you for being a follower on Blog Frog. I haven’t really worked on creating a community there and I haven’t kept up with my followers. I’m trying to change that:)
You have the cutest blog look. Did you create this yourself??
Hello, there
First time stopping in and I’m so glad that I did! Your list closely resembles what mine would look like. I also brewed coffee WITH GRINDS twice this week. similarily, completely ruined my morning. boo hiss.
#1 drives me insane, too. I see that all the time in the city, and it bugs.
I know what you mean about people talking at you rather than with you. Some people are not good listeners either.
This is hilarious! I agree with you on every single one of these…with the exception, perhaps, of the dishwasher example since ours is always broken or leaking water so we have to hand wash…*sigh* But I could add, I hate being the only one actually bothered enough by a sink full of dirty dishes to do something about it (giving credit to my husband, I should clarify: do something about it within the hour….)
Loved the post…
