OK. I'm exhausted and drained after that unpleasant list. With that off your chest, now we need a list of things that make you smile. I need something uplifting to follow it up. Oops! Thinking of my self. Wasn't that one of your compalints?
Ok, so I didn't review it before I published it. I meant complaints!
OMG....I'm Rolling!
No wonder you take Paxil. You've got to learn to deal with it!! Pick your battles!!
you have just a few.... LOL
I am so with you on the not cleaning-up WHILE you cook!!!! I HATE that!
That's a good list!
Whew... I'll read the second half of the list this afternoon. Might on the section of your list I have yet to read, but I hope to see, "people who put coffee pot back on burner with only an ounce of coffee left."
I don't know what to say. I share a lot of these with you and there are some I would say, just let it go! Hang in there.

Good peeves there. Someone used to do that speaker-phone to me all the time. The last-minute check-writing bugs me too. Similar to that one were three peeves that, coincidentally, I wrote about in a note to a friend of mine last week:
"In most circumstances, I'm pretty patient (even in traffic) but I find myself rolling my eyes a lot when stuck behind the following people: 1) those who chit-chat the whole time they're in line at the coffee house and who wait until they get to the register before trying to decide what complicated drink they want the barrista to conjure up 2) those straining to determine the perfect combination of scratch-off lottery tickets to be purchased from the $20 they won from the ticket they just turned in 3) those who walk slowly, and two or three abreast, right down the middle of a hallway, so I have to jockey and maneuver to get past them without running into oncoming foot traffic. The last one has only been a problem for me in downtown Houston where most of the restaurants are underground and connected by tunnels. We need a "Slower Traffic Keep Right" sign."
you forgot
People who insist on taking 20 items to the 12 items or less line

( I am sure I could go on like this all day!! But I will stop here.)
