May I have your attention please?

Why do people put their annual tag renewal stickers on every corner of their license plate? Or worse... slap it right in the middle without a care?

The sticker goes in the top right corner. It goes there every year. You actually cover up or peel off the prior year's sticker.

I'm in such a peevy mood right now because of all the people out there who make me so. Here are a few more of my peeves. I bet some are yours too.

Why do people

  • leave their shopping cart in the middle of the aisle while they compare prices or chit chat and act oblivious to the fact that I'm standing there, staring at them, waiting to pass?

  • pull out in front of me when nobody is behind me?

  • stand directly next to me (and I mean inches away) at the checkout counter while I am still paying?

  • intentially block intersections? (Okay, sometimes I get caught unexpectedly in the middle of an intersection, but I make it a point to avoid doing that.)

  • misdial my phone number then proceed to leave me a message after listening to my voice mail?

  • speed in school zones just because it's not the peak time?

  • try to turn left across 5 lanes of traffic in the middle of rush hour? It's even worse if 2 out of the 5 lanes let them out because 75% of the time they block lanes 1 and 2 while waiting to complete their turn. Not only is this totally idiotic, it's very dangerous. People get killed this way.

    I can't think of anything else at the moment as I am listening to upbeat, happy music but believe you me there is more to come.

    Amen!

    Thanks for stopping by my place.

    When you mentioned the license plates, a pet peeve that came to mind is when people cover up their state name and stickers with a large sticker or license plate holder. Oh, and when people only scrape off HALF their windshield...
