Re: Pet Peeves?

Just something that is said on ads, tv, news, etc, like "10 long years", "10 short minutes". Are those the ones with some extra time added or taken away. The never knowing how long, "a few minutes",...

Re: Pet Peeves?

Re: Pet Peeves?

Re: Pet Peeves?

The majority of women's tops, t shirts, blouses, etc, the material is so thin you have to get a tank top to go under it. Doesn't matter how much they cost, or what store they are from, it's all to...

Re: Pet Peeves?

Helping DD look at furniture here. The vast majority of it is dark wood and a lot is the more old fashioned/classic designs. It's what we describe as "funeral home furniture". Where are the more...

Re: Pet Peeves?

Re: Pet Peeves?

I think most women's jeans have the opposite problem. The legs were designed to fit thunder thighs and they are the same width from top to bottom.

Re: Pet Peeves?

Re: Pet Peeves?

Nothing wrong with locking the car while putting the cart back in the cart park or store. Are the lazy parents/people then liable if their runaway cart bashes and dings your car?

Re: Pet Peeves?

I had one of those coupons years ago. I did buy something with it that was on the list of brands excluded. I think the sales person mustn't have looked at the coupon very closely. Take it in to...

Re: Pet Peeves?

Bl@@dy pumpkin and/or cinnamon in almost every thing you buy, foodwise at this time of year. I don't mind cinnamon in small quantities in things that would normally have it in, like apple pies. ...

Re: Pet Peeves?

I was in a store today and noticed that the Halloween tat is starting to come in already. I hate it when all the stuff for "Holidays" come in the stores months in advance. Can't the stores just put...

Re: Pet Peeves?

The idea that some Americans seem to think that if something is bigger and a lot more expensive, then it's automatically the "best"' as in quality usually. A lot of times you will find that you...
