Pet Peeves

Is it bad to post your pet peeves an a blog that is supposed to be uplifting?  :)  Pet Peeves are sometimes funny though, you know?  Maybe I have weird pet peeves.  The pet peeves I have with my kids are way too many to list, so I'll list other ones. 
*  Table centerpieces that are too tall.  I mean, dinner is not the time to play hide and seek.  We should not try to duplicate everything in a Pottery Barn catalog... notice there are no people eating at those tables... 

*  Cooking posts on blogs that have 10 paragraphs before the actual recipe, and then a picture of each and every 300 steps.  Are there people out there that really don't know how to melt butter in a saucepan without a picture?  I'm sure how I post my recipes gets on someone else's nerves too... 

*  The word "huh?"  Is it even a real word?  According to my husband, and four year old daughter it is, and now even my two year old has it in his vocabulary, except he screams it, "HUHHHHH???"   I'm pretty sure I don't mumble or mutter my words...

*  How the whole Chick-fil-a thing went down.  I am so sick of seeing stupid things on pinterest about it, and I just heard about how a college won't serve Chick-fil-a anymore.  Really?  Because one business man said he believed in traditional marriage?  How sad that people can't have opinions anymore.  I love how some mayors are trying to make it so Chick-fil-a can't operate in their cities anymore.  Isn't that kind of like a dictatorship?  If you have a different opinion than everyone else then you can't have a business here.  Isn't that what Hitler did?!?!?  Come on.  I would totally agree with everyone if Chick-fil-a was discriminating against hiring people who are gay, but I'm pretty sure they don't.  Let's not support good businesses that help people get their educations, close on Sundays to let people be with their families all because of ONE of  the CEO's beliefs.  Crazy people.  I could go on and on about this... 

*  People driving too slow in front of me.  I live by a main road that is 50 mph.  Not even kidding most people go 35-45 mph on it.  It drives me absolutely BANANAS!  It's funny because when I had only lived here two years, I was talking to some locals and telling them about it, they had lived here their whole lives and didn't know it was 50 mph.  Oh my word.  I don't typically have road rage, but get me behind a car on that road, and I want to do an illegal pass, and I probably do ride a few tails on that stretch every day...

*  Buying a new hair product and it does not live up to the price, or it is horrible for your hair.  Hate that! 

*  Junk mail.  Do I really need the same company to send me credit card offers every month - don't they get that we aren't interested by not responding every month???!! 

I think I'll stop there, I started thinking of way to many...  :) 

What's one of your biggest pet peeves?
