Non-religious pet peeves

[Amicale]

I have a new pet peeve!

When you come in from a stroll, walk upstairs, and there's a large, angry black squirrel chattering at you from behind a toilet, that's bad. Then when he leaps out, skitters across the hallway, and you have to barricade him in a spare room... that is DEFINITELY inconvenient and can be construed as a pet peeve. 

Any guesses on how I've spent my afternoon?? LOL

I'll be honest.  What I got out of that story was "Awwwwww baby squirrel."

LOL, oh, he's cute enough. I like squirrels.  It's just that he's hiding somewhere in that room now, so we have an uninvited house guest!

I can't stand it when people talk loud enough for everyone to hear them, in hopes that others will be interested or jealous of the conversion. That and people using text talk

I hate squirrels. When I was 5 years old I was gardening with my grandpa (well, I was in the garden playing with stickers) and a squirrel ran up and bit a nice chunk out of my ankle while I was minding my own damn business. The Humane Society had to come find it and test it. No rabies. Yay! But now I'm terrified of squirrels.

  Poor squirrel.*















*I'm totally kidding!!!!  Poor you, that's traumatic.

It may not have been a squirrel.
It could have been Mocha Chief's attack hair.
I think it sometimes pretends to be a squirrel.

The squirrel has been relocated out somewhere in the wilderness, where he belongs!

New pet peeve: squirrels who aren't potty trained!

I can't stand seeing someone trying to park while they are on their cell phone. I've seen some people make 4 approaches before they park straight. I just don't understand why people can't put their phones down while driving to make certain maneuvers. Those phones call can't be that important!!!

People thinking that image macros are a substitute for real conversation.  That's one of many reasons I'm here.

I have to ask, what's an image macro? I've never heard the term before.

Something like this:



Or this:



Don't get me wrong, I don't mind when they're used sparingly.  However, when I feel that I've made a reasonable point only to be confronted with those in the place of an actual argument, it bothers me.

Got it. Thanks for the clarification.

Sounds that repeat themselves again and again without stopping, like doors slamming, water dripping, things dropping/falling. Been dealing with that all day.
