Pet Peeves

-The neighbor's cat who sits on my window sill watching my bird feeder and bullying my birds. This was the same cat that found and ate the vole in the middle of the backyard. I liked the cat that day.

-Mail delivery when only catalogs and requests for money arrive (and I don't mean bills). I continue to receive a bi-monthly magazine renewal form from a magazine we sent to a grand daughter when she was four. She's 24 now.

-News programs that attempt to tease you with the partial headlines of a breaking story. Someday they will figure out that SmartPhones can find most news reports and save their owner any anxiety to wait for the 6:00 o'clock news to find out if a tornado is barreling down on the town .

-Car dealers who yell at me during their TV commercials.

-Cookies with calories.

-Vanna White in the color pink.

-Not knowing how to lower my friend count of Facebook.

-Kate Turabian on general principle.

-Forwarded emails and posts on Facebook that tell me what to do or 1) I will have bad luck, or 2) it will prove that I am not a true fan of someone or something.

-Food service people who handle food and money without gloves or washing their hands.

-Wondering which employees need to have a written reminder that "All employees must wash their hands before returning to work."

-Spring Break beach pictures all over the Internet while I sit here in southern Indiana.

-Cadbury Egg Ice Cream that can only be purchased in Australia.

-Pet Peeve lists that go on and on....and on.

And that's what I think about it.
