Pet Peeves and Happy Memories

I'm sure it's been done before on other blogs, but never have you seen it done here before. Here ya' are, my top pet peeves. Of course it's not all of them-too many to list. In no order, mind you:

  1. Improper grammar use; mainly in writing
  2. When people interrupt me
  3. When people interrupt me to say something irrelevant
  4. Sore throats
  5. The phrase, "appreciatcha"
  6. Laziness
  7. Lying; just tell me you're not going to do something as opposed to telling me you are and then not do it
  8. Serious conversations through text messages
  9. Cats
  10. Olivia the cat
  11. Secrets
  12. Pranks
  13. Improper testimonies; i.e. "fiber of my being", "I love my roommates/girlfriend/boyfriend/spouse", stories and/or reading the scriptures-it's not a talk
  14. Friends who aren't real friends
  15. body hair-too much or the lack thereof
  16. "BookS of Mormon" or even worse, "Book of Mormons", let's try Copies of the Book of Mormon-yay!!
  17. Yay, Yeah, Ya, Ye, Yea-use them properly!
  18. Being called Timmy with childish overtones.
  19. People automatically thinking just b/c I'm the guy, everything will be alright.
  20. Making excuses for something instead of doing something about it.
  21. People taking money or not giving money that is rightfully yours
  22. Sales
  23. When people don't acknowledge politeness; if someone holds the door open, say thank you. If someone says thank you, say you're welcome. If you are going straight and someone has to step out of your way or stop so as to not collide with you, say excuse me.
  24. ValentiMes Day
  25. Shaving
So, as I began writing this list, I figured I needed to off-set it with some happy memories.
