Pet Peeves

[kgcayenne]

Attempting to be patient with an angsty teen/child, only to have a parent chime in with "oh you were MUCH worse as a teen dear"

They really don't understand how much it undermines our efforts as parents. I can recall being indulged by my grandparents and how much it irrtated my parents; it's a cycle.

Some of my relatives spoil my kids rotten every chance they get (which isn't very often due to living far away), but my mom is a like a hard-ass Nazi if one of my children even thinks about misbehaving at her house.

My pet peeve is when people let their kids snitch food with their dirty little fingers while we cooking. eg. we made ice cream at a friend's house on the weekend. Their kid sticks his dirty finger (that was up his nose moments earlier) into the ice cream maker while it was still churning. Then my kid sees it and tried to do the same thing. "But dad, ___________ got to have some!"

People who drag their feet.

Are they so tired/lazy as to not be able to take a step?

I feel like smack'n em upside the head and tell em to pick them up.

But noooooo, that would be wrong!

[HoboJo]

People who don't say what is right to be "polite".

(just do it, they will be better for it)

I'd like to address everybody who made it their New Years resolution to join the gym and get in shape.

Do us all regular members a favor and break it as soon as you can (you know you will, just save yourself some time), pig out on XL meat lover pizza, and give us a chance to work out without bumping into you and hogging all the equipment.

I am with you on that one! And if you might be refering to the recent thread on a certain topic.......I was thinking the same thing

There are 8 threads about finding a Dr. in the Okanagan.
Type in "cigarette" and 31 threads pop up, most of which deal with smokers who toss their butts and why.

Pet Peeve: no one consulted me!

[dogspoiler]

All the whiners and snivellers that think anyone else should care about their pathetic little peeves.

[Queen K]

Dog doesn't care!

New pet peeve: Who let the dog post!

Ha, but there are 74 threads about the HST... but not one about Queen K. What is this world coming to?

[Queen K]

And how many threads about Okanagan Real Estate?

Graph that Glaceman.

I don't need a thread about me, what the heck would it say anyways?

Don't answer that.

I thought there was a thread about you. Well maybe not you, but your renovations

[Queen K]

That's right. 2010 reno h e double hockey sticks. And I looked at a house today and thought, yup, another reno mess to do.

Pet peeve: peeps who reno a house with just paint and call it modern.

When it seems as though there are selective delays in certain processes that muddy the waters and cause heartache for many, and it is all to whitewash one individual for a different agenda.
