Re: Pet Peeves
People who ask for help, then say "no I can't make it over, let's book this day". Then they double book and don't show up.

Re: Pet Peeves
People who whip out there cell phones and start showing me their pictures of things that are THEIR memories. Not mine.
One couple showed me a 3 minute video of their grand daughter sticking her tongue out.... seriously! Do you think they got the hint that after 10 seconds I started looking away and talking about something else?!?! Nope... there was more, and more, and more. *sigh*
Frankly, I don't care. Want to visit and talk to YOU, not see pics of people I don't know on your phone.

Re: Pet Peeves
Please, people; learn the differences between:
to and too
they're and there... may as well add their in the mix.
hear and here
break and brake
through and threw
These are just a few little things peeving me today.

If you don't here from me for a while its because I've gone threw the door to do the breaks. That, or you through something at me for this post.

I could care less about that.
Some mistakes have gone on so long that you hear the mistake more than the correct form.
Also the use of "then" and "than". "She taller then her husband". "It's hotter today then yesterday"

When I tell the kids to do a chore and I get "but I did!" and a blank look. Then having to walk them through it step-by-step to get it done right.

We had one like that, "clean up the kitchen" meant taking everthing off the counter and piling it in the sink. She would then say " you didn't say wash the dishes".

Mrs S claims I bought her an "automatic" dishwasher. It's supposed to load itself, turn itself on and unload itself.
My Wife asked me if I knew what her favorite flower was?

Children with mohawks.
Having a mohawks used to mean that you're tough. Now it just means you're 3 and have annoying parents.
