15 pet peeves that get on my nerve

A few years ago I wrote a blog post that highlighted some of my pet peeves. I think I am ready for an up-to-date version because you know social media, the pandemic, and other things have put us into a new world and things are out of control. I wanted to highlight some new things that are getting on my nerves as I near 50 cause at this point it is what it is lol. Here are 15 pet peeves that get on my nerve the 40 year old version one.

Pet peeves that get on my nerve

1. Spitting on the side walks. You know that halk spit folks be doing. I hate to see it. I was in the line at zaxby and one of the workers came out to take the trash and he did it and I immeditately got out of the line. I can’t stand it and I mean right there near my car eeewwww
2. People who ask questions during a movie. I admit I do this a lot because I need to know what had happened. Thats why I never watch a movie with folks who already watched it cause I will ask. Sorry if I am getting on your nerves lol. I do it but I don’t want you to do it to me…I know that sounds crazy.
3. Announcing that you are leaving social media for a while. Most people don’t really leave do they cause I see them all up in my stories (y’all do know that you can see who view your stories right?). Don’t announce it just take your break and let people wonder. Those that care will reach out and check on you.
4. Correcting my grammar. Lawd this irks me like who asked you to be the grammar police. If you don’t like my to, too, or two then unfollow why do you have to correct. Let’s face it most of us know the correct grammar sometimes we don’t feel like seeing which one to use, or we are in a rush, or we simply figure you will what we are saying. Don’t correct me just unfollow or ignore.
5. Telling me I look tired. I don’t know this one here is a new one for me becuase I feel like you low key saying I look a hot mess….maybe it’s just me. We all tired. I’m a single mom I am tired and I do look like how I feel but I don’t need you to remind me of it…I know.
6. Not having your kids ready at the car drop off line in the mornings. Y’all know who you are. Here is what I do…I make sure my kids are ready before I get in the line so that I am not holding others up who may need to get to work or have things to do. One lady is praciticing her son to drive which is great I am doing the same but I need y’all to switch seats in the parking lot before you roll up in the line and switch seats, and hug, and talk, and all that other stuff.
7. Salespeople who won’t take no for an answer. If I have said no once don’t ask me again. Also those that are always in DM trying to sell if I wanted it I would have bought it.
8. People who one up my story. If I’m telling my story why do you feel the need to tell a better one. Is this a story competition?
9. When fast food spots don’t ask if you want a cup holder thingy. I have several cup holders but these days if you have more than one drink they don’t even ask they just put it in there and then I have to take it out because I don’t know about y’all but I can’t set that thing down…I won’t have my drink the way I turn.
10. Slow cashiers. I had one at the farmers market…poor thing. I could have come home and cooked a meal and then come back and he still would not have been done.
11. People who don’t see age or race. Chile bye….let’s stop turning a blind eye to things.
12. I’m sorry you feel that way. Is this an apology or something else.
13. Long emails. I only need a paragraph if that. If it’s more you can call but I am not reading a 5 parapgraphy email.
14. Stickers on fruits. When can we get rid of this. I have nails now and it’s hard to get that sticker off and then one randomly got on my kitchen floor and I had to scarpe it off.
15. When different foods touch on my plate. I don’t even like cooking one pot dinners. I can’t have my meat touching my pasta all in the same pot. I’m sorry lol. I have to cook my meat first then the other stuff then put it all together. I know it’s more pots but I just don’t like certain foods touching.

That’s my list. Now it’s your turn. Leave a pet peeve below.
