There's a bakery kiosk on the way into my nearest supermarket. As you walk past, on the way into the supermarket, you hear these irritating girls yell out 'hey there, how are you today'. Without fail, you hear everyone around mumbling 'oh just piss off'. :rofl: I don't mind if I'm actually going to buy something from them but not if I'm wandering along about 12 feet away.

I hate having to change my route to avoid things like that :lol:

Buying seeds for the garden.

Why do you end up with hundreds in a packet? I just want to plant a couple chilli/tomato/corn/pea type plants and end up with hundreds.

I mean, who grows a hundred jalapeño bushes at home?

Did organise a seed exchange last year which worked quite well, but didn't have the time to do it this year.

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

save a few seeds from the plants you grow each year, then you get as many or as few as you want. I did that with some really sweet cherry plum tomatoes from the supermarket, and was able to grow them myself the next year.

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

That's what I do...but I like to try a variety each year as some varieties just weren't that great at growing.

Which was why I set up a seed exchange in town last year in the community garden project and it was great, got some fun stuff, a lot of herbs and lettuce type plants. Just didn't have time this year.

Also need to remember where they're kept from one year to the next :lol:

What's with all the signs telling me which fire district I am entering? It's not like I have to call a different number for each one. Waste of money on the sign and distracting for the driver.

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

We actually have signs that say 'Welcome to (town name). In case of emergency, dial 911.'

You don't say ...

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

People who think signs don't apply to them.

For example, stopping their car at the red fire zone just to run into the store for a "minute" while there's a perfectly good car park adjacent.

And then there's those who seem unable to park first, then walk into the store, instead they have to hold up other drivers, (me), while they let their "precious" out first at the entrance before they go and park.

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

Well, 911 is not universal is it? I assume in some fire districts you need to call a different number. We have 911 now in the town I live in, but we didn't when I first moved here...

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

Are you visiting Calabasas?

Re: Pet Peeves?
 

I sometimes go to Bristol Farms down that way in Woodland Hills.
Usually for two things. Duck Breast and also the perfect cocktail cherries for my Friday night Manhattan.

And this is Friday night...Game of Thrones, chicken wings from Wingstop, with salad, and said Manhattan, (large), and then sweet oblivion.....:)

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it drop has it made a sound?
If a joke/warning.......deaf ears............;)
