(Day 6) Pet Peeves

Quick and to the point this one, Without any further ado, I give you my Pet Peeves




1. Disconnected Drones: Those kind of people that can go to a retail store, or go out to a restaurant, be sat at a table, order a meal, find what they need, finish their transaction, and never once look the cashier, sales associate, hostess, waiter, in the eye. They're just totally absorbed in their own monotony, or self importance, that they're not even aware that they come off as disengaged drones. Your whole day is full of activity that is entirely soulless. How is it in such a world that is so very populated but so many people feel completely alone? That is how. Stop auto-piloting, stop drifting through life and use every chance you get to interact with another human being as a valuable exercise of the soul. That's what we all were put here for. To connect and learn from one another.

2. Slow Drivers: Call it the New Yorker in me, and actually I'm sort of disappointed in myself for this one because I try to be more patient every day but... well come on! Ever since I moved to North Carolina, I've been stricken with this new found road rage at red lights... no, correction, green lights. For some reason, it seems like drivers in this state take like a three to five second pause to pick their nose or something once he light has already turned green before they friggen GO! I admittedly feel silly for wanting to devour their souls for this, but obviously it does bother me. So it's a guilty pet peeve, but none the less a potent one.

3. Rude Children: Are you kidding me? No, no, a thousand times no! When I see a child in public just outright disrespect their parents (usually their mother) calling them ugly, stupid, or just raging like some escaped banshee from the depths of hell. I just want to sweep on in there pull the parent to the side and say "Give me five minutes with him." Nothing boils my innards more than a screeching little snot nosed tyrant that no one will do anything about. Is it the child abuse laws or something? Because, personally I think that's bullshit. An unruly child needs to be popped on the butt every now and again to balance out the anarchy. This is my personal opinion. However it is also my opinion that the imbalance has to take hold first. And that imbalance can only arise in the face of parental failure somewhere along the line. There's nothing your child shouldn't understand from just talking it out with them. Give them some credit, they're smarter than us all. they need only to show out in some way once for you to put them right back in line accordingly. Demand respect, and earn it simultaneously by realizing this kid isn't just a kid, but a human being first, a potential adult, an unfinished project waiting to be molded into something beautiful. Whoa... okay I'm done there, who the hell am I lecturing anyway? lol

4. Unreasonably Rude People: I really don't think I have to elaborate on this one, There's just no reason to be an asshole to someone. If you're having a bad day, it's time to just isolate yourself from others and not spread the wealth. Seriously.

Um there's nothing else I can think of at the very moment, though I know there's more. You know, I'm actually thinking that once this 30 day challenge is over. Sometime down the line I'll rewrite it again, as I feel like most of these posts have just been plowed through for the sake of meeting deadlines and such. So yeah! gotta go now. Ciao!
