#356, "Pet Peeves"
|
I hate cigarette smoke because of the smell, but I respect the right of people to smoke, so I (usually) don't get all bent out of shape about it.
My pet peeve about it is people who smoke in restaurants (thankfully, smoking indoors has been outlawed in California, so we only have this as a problem when dining outdoors). I always thought smoking dulled the taste buds; I can't imagine why you would take the time and spend the money to go to a nice restaurant if you're going to end up not really tasting the cusine? Maybe that's a mistaken impression; anyway, I can't stand it when I go out to eat and the table next to us lights up four smokes when we're midway through the appetizer. That just sucks.
I hate bikers that don't obey the rules, and I hate drivers that don't share the road. I bike to work with my wife every day, and we put up with an amazing amount of crappy drivers despite only biking in a residential area and on a Naval base (where the speed limit is 35 mph). I've had people yell at me, roar around me in the opposite traffic lane, pull out in front of me, etc. Haven't been in an accident yet, but I suppose it's only a matter of time.
Vandalism really bothers me for some reason. My old neighborhood in Maryland periodically gets 'mailboxed' (kids drive around in a minivan and smack mailboxes with baseball bats) and I just don't get it. There's no challenge, no possible thrill that I can see (thrill of maybe getting caught in a rural area at 4AM? Not likely.) and you end up pissing off a bunch of anonymous people. Why? Makes no sense to me.
People who listen to really loud talk radio in the next cubicle. Without headphones.
The expectation that I should tip a barista at Starbucks for doing their freakin' job and taking my order. Tipping in general annoys the hell out of me.
When you've worked your way up to third in a long line at a store, and they open up another checkout lane, and the dude right behind you darts over to the new line and checks out ahead of you. Makes me want to cockpunch someone.
