Pet Peeves

I have been trying to be optimistic lately, but there are just a few things that bother me.

1. People who do not use their turn signal. How hard is it to flick a switch to let someone know you are turning. And if the person in front of/behind you has their turn signal on, it doesn't mean you don't have to use yours, I don't know what you are thinking.

2. People who wait to the last minute to plan things, especially when they know months ahead of time. Get organized people!

3. People who pull semi off the road or park across 3 parking spaces because they are on their cell phones. I live in a state that recently (last year) adapted a hands free cell phone law. So now instead of driving, people just park wherever they want to use their phone. I have seen people block the entrances to stores/banks/side roads, park across 3 parking spaces, or half pull off the road to talk on their phone. Or just stop in front of you and not pull off the road. Is it that damn important you can't wait until you get home to be on your phone?

4. Parents (mostly fathers) who refer to watching their kids as "babysitting".
"Sorry, I have to go home and babysit, the wife is going out." They are your kids, your not babysitting, you are spending time with your family. Babysitting is something the 17 year old down the street does.
