Pet this!!!!!!

Stealing an idea from my daughter's blog, I thought I would write something about MY pet peeves. After all, everyone has them, kinda like the saying: "opinion's are like".....well, I won't go there, but you know where I was going!
I guess what made me think about pet peeves popped in my head as I was driving to work this morning, so here goes my list of pet peeves:
#1. -
People that don't turn off their blinkers! Are these people deaf AND dumb?? It's amazing to me that someone can drive for miles without noticing or hearing the constant click-click, click-click, click-click! If your that deaf, you should either turn your damn radio down, or you shouldn't be driving in the first place grandpa! And don't flip me off when I pull out in front of your ass and just about kill the both of us!
#2. -
People that call YOU on the phone and then proceed to carry on a conversation with, god knows who else... anyone standing within a few feet of them! My niece Kary is a pro at this! She can pull up to a fast food place, while talking to you on the cell and without missing a beat, put in her order, tell you how her inventory is going , order mustard on that burger, tell you what time Alissa's doctor appointment is and please add fries to her order. Jeeeeeeezzzzzzzz!
#3. - People that talk to you while your in another room! Or talk outloud all day long. (see my first blog entry!)
But this is about the people that talk to you, carry on a conversation knowing that your not even in the same room! They may even know that your in the basement and they still just keep talking, talking, talking. My mom, god love her, used to do this. I thought for the longest time that this was just part of growing old, but no! Some people just can't shut the f**k up!!!
#4. - Sniffing consistantly. I absolutely HATE THIS! Get a kleenex man! Blow that thing! Doesn't your head hurt after about 1000 sniffs?! Too bad it doesn't cave in!
#5. - And last but not least, and probably my biggest pet peeve, is having to wear a seat belt. This just totally IRKS me to no end. Hey, it's MY life we're talking about here. I am not endangering anyone else by not wearing my seat belt. Because I choose NOT to go down in a blaze of fire while still strapped in my car, should be MY choice, I paid for the car, I should be able to do what I want in MY car. Yes, I know what you'll say, but it's the law and it is for my own good and the government is just looking out for me! Ok, well, tell me why, then, school busses don't have seat belts? Yea, ok, smart one, answer that one! Tell me why the driver of that school bus is strapped in tighter than a man strapped to an electric chair but your children can be tossed around like that crumpled package that was delivered to me the other day, all torn up and damaged! Next they'll be telling us that we have to drive with both hands in the 10 and 2 position on the steering wheel, or we can't have our windows down because it might be too distracting or something might fly in the window and make us crash into something or someone. Do you get my picture here? So, maybe someone else's pet peeve is people writing about their pet peeves! I'm sure if I had more time I probably could go on and on, but just as another pet peeve I just thought of, I hate people that go on and on and on..............
