Just a Short List
I don't usually spend time on my blog discussing things that I find annoying. So I think you can indulge me, just this once. It's a short list.
1. When you enter or leave a store, get in your car/truck and GO! Don't stand around in the parking lot having a chat session with your friends. Don't let your children wander around the parking lot. Just get in and leave. You are creating chaos in the parking lot for others.
2. On the subject of stores, you do not have the right to steal a shopping cart and take it home for your personal use. Really, it's theft. I don't understand why people think it's there for the taking.
3. Learn how to pronounce words that you are going to use often, especially if you are the president (Bush). NUCLEAR is not NUCULAR. Others in the media, please take note of this.
4. Okay, I might upset some bloggers with this one. I am going to toss it out there anyway. I would like to see more attention paid to the difference between "its and it's" when being used several times in a post or Email. My grandma was a teacher. I notice these things along with spelling errors. I am by no means perfect but we should all try a little harder when we are putting our writing out there for everyone to read.
5. The last one of the day because I want to move on to more positive things. This is for wait staff, store employees and others in service related jobs. If someone says "Thank you" when you've done something for them, please say "You're Welcome" or "My Pleasure" rather than "No Problem." No Problem???? When did that become a polite response? It's not. End of subject.
Okay, that's it. My one and only list of annoyances.
Next post will have nothing to do with snakes or pet peeves.
And please feel free to let me know if this post contains spelling and/or grammatical errors:-)

I can be phobic about grammar and incorrect spelling. On some blogs, when I comment, it will, lock, change, goof me up. I get so frustrated I want to scream. It happens less on my lap top . . . but because I use my iPad mostly for reading/commenting I am confronted with this little bug in space. I give it three-four tries of goofing me up, starting over to write something. Then I quit . . . so, if I mess up in comments to you, let me know.
Fortunately yours seems to work well with my iPad . . ., or would that be, "works good?"
I'm somewhat of a grammar/spelling geek myself -- went with my previous job. :)
