Call the Humane Society

Up until recently I collected pet peeves like they were my actual pets. Except, when they coined the term "pet" peeve, I'm sure they, whoever "they" are, meant for a person to just have one. But, I had/have a list of pet peeves. My pets were taking over my life. Here's a sample...I can even arrange them by category

Communication
1. People that say pacific instead of specific...or any combo of words that sound like other words with different meanings. ie. Idea vs. Ideal, using their vs. they're
Eating
2. People that smack
3. People that clink forks, scraping spoons in soup
4. People that eat things out of a bag that make lots of noise
5. suckers
I could really get crazy with the food thing
Driving
6. People that pump the gas peddle...you know you are sitting in the passager seat and your rocking because the driver doesn't hold a constant speed....speed way up, let off the gas..speed way up.
7. flipping radio stations so fast you can't even make out the song
House Broke
8. WET TOWELS
9. open cabinets
10. turn some of those damn lights off...sheeshh

Anyway, my pets were getting out of control. I'm not perfect by any means, hell I do half of these things. But, the pets were causing me not to be able to focus on the good in people. So I'm going to start working on it. Why did I collect all these pets? Possibilities...
1. The pets would never leave me, but recognizing these things in people allowed me not to really get close to them.
2. The pets made me feel better about myself, my pets always love me.

In my opinion, if a person has more than 1 major pet, they're a little arrogant to think they can discipline and control it. I hate arrogance, it was one of my pets. So I'm going to keep one and I'm going to take some obedience courses and learn to control it.
