"Pet Peeves"

What really makes your blood boil, what gets you hot under the collar, what makes you madder than a wet hen, what gets your knickers in a knot...?

Where do I begin?

I hate it when someone cuts me off in traffic, especially when they do it without signaling first. I also hate it when people expect me to let them into my lane after I spent all the time waiting in line as I was supposed to, and they simply jump ahead of everyone and nudge their way into the lane.

I hate it when I return to the kitchen to see all of the cabinet doors open. It looks as though the kitchen's about to fly away or something.

I hate it when people "clank" their spoon/fork between their teeth while eating. It really makes my blood boil to hear that. Oh, and I REALLY hate that smacking sound some make while eating too!

Why is it that after I take my precious time cleaning the kitchen spotless, I return to find a glass or knife back in the sink. You would think that the person would say, "let me wash this and put it away so that I'll leave the kitchen nice and clean like I found it"...but no, not in my house.

Urghhhhhh!!!!!
