Thursday 13, #2 Peeves

Thirteen Pet Peeves that Jen has about life. I don't consider myself a whiner, but I do consider myself opinionated. The world has become dumber, people don't want to learn. People want it now, not later when they can afford it, but now! So what if taking out a loan means you have paid more for something, at least you have it now. I don't want to hear you fighting with your child/boyfriend/girlfriend/parent or boss on your cell phone while I am shopping. When I am at the register paying for my groceries, I want your attention on me, your customer, not the other cashier who came in 5 minutes late after her break. I don't care, I just want to pay and have my groceries bagged. Parents who think their kids are the second coming to pro sports. We live in NH, it's a small state, we don't have that many professional athletes and the percentage of athletes becoming professional superstars are already a very small percentage of those playing college sports, do the math! Just because your kid may be a good athlete in third grade does not always mean they will continue to enjoy the sport when they are 13, so parents, get a life......your own! If you get paid to teach, then teach, don't get up in front of my child's class and complain about your poor salary. The kids don't care, it ticks the parents off and your benefits are 10x better than the average Joe. If you don't like the pay, leave and get a job where you have to sign up for your two weeks off in the summer in January! Stop whining to my kids. Local news- this is New England and it snows. Snowstorms and blizzards do not require names. And as a side note, get your reporters off the side of the highway, you're just adding to the poor driving conditions. Media in general- the local Fox station touched upon this last night: Seriously I don't care about Nicole or Brittany, it doesn't affect my life, nor is it news. Where do you get off saying people want the information? How do they really determine what constitutes a real news story? Medical Insurance- can someone explain to me why we a paying a lot for it and still have a huge deductible? Somebody's getting rich and it isn't me! Crying kids in stores - they're little, bored and don't want to be there. Think of your children, even if you are unable to comprehend that nobody is enjoying the screams, cries coming from your child, bring them to a park or home. Plan your shopping trips. Bass in cars- why does my car need to vibrate with the sounds of your music playing in the third car behind me? Getting in on a fun thing late- I like the Thirteens and hope someone continues on with the idea. It's like learning how to ski in March...... Links to other Thursday Thirteens!
