A Woman Peeved

Today (like most days), I am peeved about a number of things: I'm peeved that the new pumps I bought yesterday appear to have the annoying side effect of making my toes numb, I'm peeved that Jake kicked Gia off the Bachelor (Vienna, really? WTH dude), I'm peeved that the amazing chaise I ordered in December is still not in my living room, etc, etc.


As you can see, I'm a pretty peeved person in general (the sunny smile I wear is a ruse). That being said, I don't think that I have too many "pet peeves." Essentially what this means is that I have a lot of little peeves, but none that are big enough to qualify as pets. Among my little peeves:

1) People eating off of my plate. If we have not decided, pre-order, to share, then we are NOT sharing.
2) On tv, when people end phone calls by just hanging up. Have tv writers never heard of this little phrase called "goodbye?"
3) People who want to be my best friend on airplanes. Also included, overly talkative taxi drivers and nail/hair techs. I'm not your friend and I don't want to hear about how finding God changed your life or your latest fight with your mom. I'm reading/sleeping/staring into space here - you do the same.
4) People who always change plans. I WROTE OUR PLANS IN MY AGENDA, you jerk.
5) People who don’t respect lines. When I was in China, I learned how much I LOVE lines and orderliness. Respect the line, people.
6) People who are too high and mighty for reality television. Honestly, reality television is a wide and diverse genre that encapsulates both crap (A Shot at Love, Bad Girls Club, Dog Whisperer, anything with Rachel Ray) and geniosity (Amazing Race, SYTYCD, House Hunters, Project Runway on Bravo, Teen Mom). You can no more say that you hate all reality television than you can say that you hate all dramas.
7) Along the same lines (sort of) people who scoff at me for purchasing tabloids. Yeah, like I need YOUR judgment, Publix checkout guy.
8) People who are too cool to remember my name and that we have met 16 times before. I sat behind you in a class. We spoke numerous times. YOU ARE SO RUDE.
10) Girls who wear obnoxious headbands. You're not Blair Waldorf, get over it.
11) Talking politics at inappropriate times. Look, I worked for two senators and still harbor dreams of being a senator or a lobbyist one day myself. I love politics and government. Just not at a football tailgate. Keep your "Gators for Palin" pins at home.
12) Salespeople at stores. Please stop asking if you can help me or get me a dressing room. I'm fine, and you're crowding me.
13) When people don't change the toilet paper roll all the way (like they leave the new one on top of the used one). Is just changing it so hard?
14) People who went to/go to/like Syracuse. Eew. Also, your mascot is a fruit.
15) Girls who wear high heels to EVERYTHING. We're at a study session, ladies. Unless you have a date after this, take off the pumps.

Whew. So many peeves, so little time.
