Ask Peeves

Well it's Friday and as per usual I have something a little different for you today.  Just like my life, most of the conversations I have with friends (and strangers) are completely random (and sometimes very awkward). So, not surprisingly I found myself and a few friends ranting about our pet peeves yesterday. I think we may have went on and on for close to an hour when one friend recommended I post some of them on my blog. So here it is:

Things That Are Annoying Other Than Facebook

  • People who take the elevator to the 2nd floor-are you kidding me???????
  • People who clap at the end of flights-hello, we were supposed to land!
  • Opening up a sandwich only to find it hasn't been cut all the way through.
  • Slow walkers on NYC streets-get with it, this is New York.
  • People who leave their sweat on the machines at the gym-you're vile, end of story.
  • My mother leaving me a voicemail only to say "Hi, call me."
  • People who drive under the speed limit in the left lane.
  • When I'm hailing a cab and someone jumps 3 ft in front of me and starts hailing a cab.
  • People who clap at the end of movies.
  • People who argue with the cashier about a coupon granting them $.25 cents off while making the people behind them wait-come on man.
  • People who fart in a crowd and think they can get away with it because there are too many people to figure out who it was-once again, you're vile.
  • People who talk on the phone in the elevator.
  • People who wear Uggs during the summer.
  • When my girlfriend calls to tell me about her day when she is already on her way over to my apartment-Why do we need to have a pre-talk? We can talk about your day some time in the next 72 hours that you will be here (this was obviously not mine but I found it hilarious).
  • People who try to strike up a conversation with you when you are blatantly in the middle of a phone call.
  • Couples who sit next to each other in a booth-I can't even get started with this one.
Off the top of our heads (mine and my friends) those were some of the best and most appropriate that we came up with.  I'd love to know your pet peeves! Please feel free to comment and I will add them to the ever-growing list.  I wish you a peeve-free weekend!
