I know everyone has at least one pet peeve. As a matter of fact, I think that there are many out there that have a whole list of them. Now I am a live and let live type of gal but I do have a pet peeve or two. Ok, I admit it, I have a whole list of them. But, I won't bore you with the list, besides it might take quite some time to put them all down. One of my top pet peeves is people who will not take responsibility for their actions. I wonder how they don't realize that every thing that happens in their lives is not everybody else's fault. My second one is people who do not use turn signals. It's almost like they don't want you to know what direction they are going to go. I also really don't like negativity. I like to think on the sunny side of life. So why am I writing this post about pet peeves? I don't really know.

Pet peeves are fun. Its like you really do have another kind of pet: what kind of food will the Peeve demand today and will the little brat behave and come when called? Tell Peeve to get off the couch and he or she ignores you while chewing up your slipper. Guess you need to take Peeve to obedience class sooner than later.

@HazySue It reminds me of folks who say they have arthritis. Its like arthritis is them not that they have a health issue. I try not to be Bad Back but instead me: eccentric and hopefully working on another poem or garden etc.

@sallypup I love it. I almost used a picture of an annoyed cat for this post because I kept thinking about the pet part of the name.

I guess my biggest pet peeve is when people are late and do not call to let me know about it and do not even apologize.

Some of the late comers seem to expect you to expect them to be late.

I hate when people use their cellphones, or smart phones, or whatever electronic gadgets when they are sitting at a table with other people.

@HazySue No, they have no manners, so they do not even think this can be considered rude.

That would have been my next pet peeve mentioned. I often wonder if the person talking on the phone ever thinks about how rude that is.

Hey at least it's a topic that most of us have something to say about. I like how you said you only had a few and then again maybe you had a whole list of them like most of us probably do too. I'm sure we don't think about them until someone does one of them and then we remember that one. Even more than not using a turn signal I hate it when people pull in front of you only to make a quick turn in one direction or the other. I often will think why didn't they just go around the block and do it in a more orderly fashion, but I did something similar myself recently. While I didn't get in front of anyone else, I was driving down the middle lane of a one-way road when I thought i forgot a turn so immediately got into the right lane when I was already close to the light and then turned right. No one was on the road behind me, but it made me realize that maybe people do it on the spur of the moment without thinking about it beforehand. After I made my turn, I realized the place I was going I usually go a different way and had plenty of time to get over still. Also, it irks me when on the highway especially when people get too close to the car in front of them before passing, but depending on how close you are, even if two car lengths behind it may not be enough time to move over if they were following an especially slower driver. It makes more sense to me that they should move over much earlier to allow those in back of them to see the slow driver earlier. I don't like negativity either.

@MarshaMusselman Wow, you should have written a post about this. You comment is marvelous. I agree, many times we do things without putting thought into them. I have said many times that there are people who get in the car to drive and sit on their brains. There are times when we all make a mistake and act on impulse when behind the steering wheel. Then there are those who get in the car and don't care about the others there on the road. They seem to believe that the rules don't apply to them. People like that scare me. I have made the same mistakes when driving. My husband says I am directionally impaired. The4re are times when I am sure the person behind me is cussing me out.
