I would like to preface this little explosion of informative verbiage by saying I am a fairly tolerant person. Although I encounter situations that provoke violent implosion, I manage (by God's grace) to conduct myself in a manner that accurately portrays my current employment status. In other words I have a few pet peeves.
lets start with everyone's second home, Wal-Mart. There are a few things that chap my gizzard when indulging in the Wal-Mart experience. One, is slow cashiers. Not slow because they are cautious to do the job well, but slow because they are chit-chatting with the cashier 4 rows down. Which leads into another pet peeve. To few cashiers! Get more of them. Finally, and probably the biggest is leaving the shopping carts out in the parking lot. Please, push the cart back to the cart rack so that we don't have any rogue carts flying into vehicles or blocking spots to park. If you are parked really far away from the outside rack, park closer to the rack initially. For those of you not driving yet, practice this so that you will be a better citizen when your moment of truths arrives.
Now that I've mentioned parking lots, I feel the need to divulge another pet peeve. It seems that everyone is on a quest for the closest parking spot. Although I can identify with wanting to be close, I can't stand it when people will hold up traffic to wait for a spot that will only get them 2 or 3 spots closer than were they could've just parked. By the time they've waited, they could've already been inside on off to the races.
Those are just a few that typically seem to surface when your at Wal-Mart. Please let me know if I am weird and need to get a life or if you possibly concur with such frustrations as i have shared. For more thought provoking and intellectual conversation, please click here.
Please submit your own pet peeve.
