Day 3 - Your Top 5 Pet Peeves

As I sit here, my beautiful blue lava lamp bubbling next to me, I ponder - what are my top five pet peeves?  I know of a couple right off the bat - but, I am going to have to think about the rest.  So - this one is pushing my brain a bit.

5 - This one is for my kids.  And mostly, it's because I have lacked in my instruction to you - as I have seen all three of my kids do this.  This pet peeve is about the incorrect usage of the words "your" and "you're".  Your is a possessional word like - it's mine, it's yours, it ours - something that belongs to someone; example - is that your doughnut (KayeLynn - hee hee  - I said doughtnut)?  You're is a contraction - as in you are.  It is connecting the two words; example - you're going to the store, correct?  Anyway, if people would use those two words correctly, I would be in a happier place in the world.

4 - I hate mean people.  I know that is rather cliche, but, I have been mad all day about a mean person.  A mean person I don't even know.  How could someone hurt a friend and so viciously.  This is what made me mad:  THIS .  I just don't see how someone could be so mean. AND - I don't know if I should be more mad at the woman for "forgiving her friend" - HEY LADY, your friend is an evil witch and I hope karma greets her soon!!  But, it just goes to show that I don't like mean people!!!  To do something crass and mean and hurtful is evil - if you are evil, you should think about where you are going wrong in your life - and beg forgiveness

3 - I detest litterbugs!!  Do not throw your crap out in the middle of parking lots - including old fast food, your baby's dirty diapers, your nasty garbage.  Do not throw your crap out of moving car windows - including your stupid burning cigarette butts.  Do not leave your beer cans, your soda cans, your water bottles lying on the ground. It's not that difficult to dispose of your trash, or your stuff you want to throw away.  There are trash cans at those parking lots you are throwing your trash into.  There are ashtrays in those cars you are driving.  There are trash cans at your home to dispose of cans and bottles.  GIVE A HOOT, DON'T POLLUTE!!

2 - I guess it's because my kids were raised with very little to no extra money.  They didn't have much, so I am proud that they are not like this and they know what they have to do to make their way in the world (and if I find out differently, they will get a piece of their mom's mind) - but, it's becoming more and more prevalent.  Self entitlement and spoiled rotten people!!  Life is not handed to you on a silver platter - you must work at it.  Happiness is not just thrown your way - you must work at it.  Money is not just given to you - you must earn it.  Respect is not deserved - it is earned.  Do not think because you walk the face of this earth, that you are entitled to anything more than what you work for and earn!

1 - My final one may seem a little silly to be my number one - but, it is the thing that makes me INSANE!!  I hate that people are so freaking lazy that they cannot walk twenty feet, ten feet, five feet, two feet to put a shopping cart in the stupid shopping cart corral!!!!  Why???  People!!!!  WHY????  It drives me so crazy, that you will see me taking one or two carts into the store with me when I go in.  The one that makes me the most crazy - when you walk up to the shopping cart corral and someone has parked the cart NEXT to it.  Why couldn't you put it in the corral?

So that's just a little view inside what makes Colleen's brain tick and makes her nuts!!!
