My pet peeves, Volume 1

Here is a list of my pet peeves, in no particular order. I'm sure I'll post more later, but here is what I've come up with so far...

1. People who make their smiley faces upside-down (:
2. The fact that there's no official playoff system for NCAAF. Division II schools have one... so why can't Division 1? Could it be... oh I don't know... GREED?
3. People who pull into the left-hand lane before making a right-hand turn (except for Trucks -- they're allowed).
4. Christmas decorations going up before Thanksgiving.
5. People who don't throw their trash away when in public places (like sports arenas, movie theaters, etc).
6. Stereos (and subwoofers) turned up so loud that you can't hear your OWN stereo inside your car when your windows are CLOSED.
7. People who say they can "probably come" or something like that when they already know darn well they're not going to attend and just don't want to say No.
8. The NFL blackout rule.
9. People that won't try new types of cuisine... at least once. (Weird stuff that you'd only see on Fear Factor or Bizarre Foods doesn't count here...)
10. Rude patrons.
11. Form letters that don't answer the original question.
12. Newspapers and other circulars that you never asked for which are delivered in little plastic baggies and that sit on your front steps until YOU have to pick them up. I wonder if we could fine their distributors for littering?
13. PEOPLE WRITING IN ALL CAPS FOR NO GOOD REASON.
14. People using the "Reply To All" when I don't care what they have to say, especially when I'm on a mass distribution list.
15. People that let their dogs roam the neighboorhood, pooping on anything they darn well want to.

That's all for now... more to come.
