Lindsay's silly pet peeves

[lindsaydotcom]

As inspired by Heather* (though hers were more oriented to the strange variety, wheras mine are just things that annoy me.):

1. Stop it with the check-writing at the grocery store, people! Checks are no longer REMOTELY useful other than for paying bills. It used to be that by writing a check the amount would not be deducted from your account for a few days. Now they just swipe the check and read the routing number instantaneously and by still writing checks YOU WASTE MY TIME.
2. Why can't people repeat their name and phone number at the end of a voice mail message instead of at the beginning? How am I supposed to know whether or not I need to call the person back until AFTER I've listened to the message?
3. If I am eating something that you (general) don't like, why tell me how disgusting it is? I'm not prying your jaws open and forcing it down your throat, am I? All you do by saying that is annoy me.
4. Similarly, if you (also general) think something smells foul, why is your immediate reaction to tell me to smell it, too? You've already told me it reeks so why on earth whould I want to?
5. I don't really care for it when people tell me that I have dark circles under my eyes. They're genetic. They don't go away. I KNOW I have circles under my eyes since I did actually look in the mirror this morning, believe it or not.

OMG - checks drive me insane - esp at work. They take so much longer than swiping a card. And during the holidays I'm ready to throttle the check writers. Use.your.debit.card!!!!

*phew*

Thanks for feeling the same way...though surprisingly I'm not surprised!
