Re: Pet Peeves?
I have to admit, it's a minor peeve that people get all arse about tit over something that's been done for years and for which we get ample warning year after year.
But we're nothing as a species if we're not adaptable, right

Well we adapt if we're smart, there's enough other things out there to grind your teeth over..

Re: Pet Peeves?
Time changes.
Not so much the actual time change, but having to change the time on so many things. Seems a lot do it automatically these days, but the cooker/microwave don't and there's always one that gets forgotten.
Happened to be the thermostat, so was a tad nippy this morning :/

Checks...why? Use your debit card and save others behind you the aggravation. Thanks.

Yes, and the people who start to write the check then stop in mid line to discuss whatever,over and over...

People at fast food places, whether inside or out who stop to read the menu line by line. Are you telling me you've never been to one before? I'm pretty sure that the menu doesn't vary from one to another of the same outfit.

No one uses cheques over here. In all the four years I was running the school shop I think I had three cheques. You don't even get a cheque book when you open an account. Totally different mind set.
