Pet Peeves

To each, his own...It is fascinating to me what gets under a person's skin. My list is fairly long (possibly a sign of neuroticism, which is a sign of intelligence...yes, I think I'll go with that assumption) and one pet peeve that stands out, due to a recent encounter at Wal-Mart (the site of MANY offenses, I might add), is the indecisive person who stands in front of the freezer with the door open so that all of the adjoining freezer doors fog over, making it impossible for anyone else who happens to be a decisive person to find the item she is looking for without annoying herself (due to her rabid disdain for those indecisive nitwits who stand with the freezer door open)!
So, I was delighted to see this website, listing at least a few hundred pet peeves:

I suppose I should be embarrassed to admit that there are not many on this list that are not among my own list of annoyances, if not outright pet peeves. But I'm not. On the contrary, I am heartened to know that there are others out there who, like me, appreciate common sense and common courtesy, which, let's face it, is increasingly absent in the 21st century American culture and the lack of which is often the source of so many pet peeves.

Or, maybe we're all completely neurotic.
