Pet Peeves

How long do you have? I actually think the reason I am tentative to try something new is because I can be so judgmental of others. I try really hard not to be, but sometimes I can't help myself. I enjoy self-deprecating humor, so making fun of others has got to be more funny, right?? So maybe pet peeves are something that I should work a little harder to get over.... but there's time for that tomorrow.

1. Improper use of their, there and they're. They are different words, and have different meanings. Get it right people! You can follow this peeve down the road of to/too, your/you're, etc....

2. When I remember people but they don't remember me. I hate this because I have a very good memory (at least I used to.) I could probably pick just about any one I went to high school with out of a crowd and I'd be willing to bet you money they wouldn't remember who I was. Drives me nuts!

3. People acting like victims. Yeah, sometimes life sucks and hands you lemons, but 95% of the time, you're in the situation you're in because you chose, either actively or inactively, to be there. Own your choice and stop complaining.

I'm in complete agreement with the they're, their, your, you're thing. I even saw it printed wrong on a t-shirt yesterday, and I wondered who in the heck okayed that to be sold, and who in their right mind would buy it? Seriously, people!
