Exasperating! <BR/><BR/>I often find myself thinking "You are welcome, Rude!" or saying it out loud when I'm feeling especially feisty.Wicked Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07102654686320756502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2416343387857450101.post-83853036223860661882007-10-17T10:17:00.000-05:002007-10-17T10:17:00.000-05:00WickedM - I totally agree with this entire post! ...WickedM - I totally agree with this entire post! I am always early, and absolutely hate waiting on people. of course, as you said, people with kids or health issues get a pass in this department! Unfortunately, my husband is always late, for everything. We're working on this! :)<BR/><BR/>Also, the hand wave in traffic? How hard is it to do? Just show a bit aof appreciation people! lol<BR/><BR/>Yesterday I went to the a local coffee/dougnnut shop to get a bagel for breakfast. I'm coming and a guy is just heading out. Both of his hands are holding a coffee cup, so I hold the door for him. Doesn't say a peep to me. I sarcastically say "you're welcome" and he clues in to thank me. It was kind of bitchy on my part, but geesh...again, how hard is it to offer a thank you if someone holds the door for you?<BR/><BR/>OK, rant over. Sorry!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16711053214097884062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2416343387857450101.post-10062097920240987642007-10-17T08:45:00.000-05:002007-10-17T08:45:00.000-05:00Something that occurred to me after writing this p...Something that occurred to me after writing this post (and then driving home in rush hour traffic) is that one of my biggest pet peeves is when people don't do the wave after you let them in front of you in traffic. I HATE that!<BR/><BR/>GLove, I think time gets away from everyone. I'm certainly not always punctual (I'm especially guilty of the "let me just do a few more things before leaving for work" thing)...I guess maybe it's persistent lateness that bothers me so much. <BR/><BR/>Plus, you're so nice and adorable that I would forgive you for being fiveminutes late! :)Wicked Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07102654686320756502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2416343387857450101.post-80613765616229535272007-10-16T16:13:00.000-05:002007-10-16T16:13:00.000-05:00Dibs on the handwashing thing as my pet peeve. I'...Dibs on the handwashing thing as my pet peeve. I've encountered it too much lately, I can't wait to complain about it.<BR/><BR/>And I'm glad we don't meet in real life too often . . . because I'm perpetually late. I guess I feel the same way you do - I have so many things to do with my time! SoI just try to squeeze too much into the time I have. I could be 5 minutes early for work . . . or I could use that 5 minutes to throw an extra load of laundry in, water my drooping hydrangea, clean up a doggie accident, and toss some dishes in the dishwasher. Whoops! Now I'm 15 minutes late!<BR/><BR/>To be fair to myself, though, I'm rarely late when I'm meeting a person or people who need me to begin. I'm late for work, for class, for a movie, but never late for band rehearsal, training classes that I'm leading, staff meetings . . . So I guess it could be worse! Yay for rationalizing bad behavior!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09385325089004358268noreply@blogger.com
