Pet Peeves

don't you dare think the title of this post has ANYTHING to do with hormones. I've had these pet peeves for way longer than my 32 weeks of pregnancy, it just so happens that i'm letting them out now. So don't go assuming!

2 pet peeves that have been driving me nuts this week:

1. folks who slow down when they see a cop has someone pulled over: Ummm, i don't understand this. He ALREADY has someone, he ain't looking at you. When i see a cop has already caught his fish, i take it as my opportunity to raise up my Forty and wave at him. Ok, not really, but you can AT LEAST go the freaking speed limit. But no, 99 percent of folks creep by, like he's gonna tell the person he already caught "Ok, nevermind your speeding, i'm gonna go after that guy over there for, umm, just because." NO people! just drive like normal -- or even a little faster than normal -- because Mr. PoPo is occupado.
   
2. folks who take forever in the drive-thru: What the heck are these people ordering?! This ain't Golden Corral, Cracker Barrel or some other restaurant. This is freaking Mickey D's. There should be no need to peruse the menu -- you've been here enough times and seen enough commercial to know what the clown serves. But no, you are just looking and looking, talking and talking. Do me a favor, ask little Billy if he wants a cheeseburger happy meal or "chicken" nuggets BEFORE you leave the house. And you know Billy is not gonna eat it anyway, the fries are gonna just end up in the backseat next to the gold fish crackers and gum. And i don't know what's worse, the person who takes forever to order and then you see all they got was a coke -- what the heck were you talking about, health care reform, BP? -- or the person who gets like 8 bags and 15 drinks handed out the window AND still has to pull up for the rest of their order. Dang, Wally World is up the street, go buy some real food and cook it.

Ok, i'm done! Happy Hump Day!

Men in shorts that annoy me

One of the things that has always annoyed me about police officers (and this is one of MANY things) is that they seem to have no respect for the laws of the road. You see them speeding, riding people's butts, not using turn signals, passing at inappropriate times, playing on Facebook on their little car laptops, etc.

But apparently it's not just police officers that think an issued car is a license to drive like a fool. Another set of men in uniform LOVE to drive like maniacs (at least down my street). Who are these men: FedEx drivers.

Yesterday i thought i was gonna have to have an old school beat down on one dude who decided it was appropriate to drive 50 mph down my street, and then slam on his brakes when he reached his destination. I yelled "SLOW DOWN"when he flew by (I also yelled it again when he got out the van -- in his daisy dukes). Then the sucka had the nerve to round the cul-de-sac and fly by at 50 again. He was going too fast for me to see if there was a number (besides 1-800-TOOL) for me to call to complain.

But he'll be back. I've seen him many a times, and we will meet again....
