here's a list of some minor pet peeves that are irking me at the moment (and believe me, i know there are two wars quietly raging on on and a giant oil spill and poverty to worry about... the below are trivial but irksome none-the-less):
1. people who leave voicemails. just text me. or don't leave a message. i saw that
you called. i'll call you back.
2. people who walk in groups and take up the whole sidewalk and are oblivious to anyone else trying to pass (errrgh)
3. women who always ask for lemon with their tap water at restaurants (granted, sometimes i am one of these women but i try and keep it in moderation)
4. independent filmmakers who are always self promoting their crappy films by being on a panel or just crappy independent films in general- especially ones about melancholy relationships and the "ups and downs" of sisterhood or couplehood or any kind of 'hood'
5. people with little to no sense of humor. get over yourselves
6. the superintendent next door to my apartment that never stops hosing down the sidewalk when people walk by and/or covers the entire sidewalk with garbage ever time he deals with the garbage area
7. aggressive bicyclists that feel the need to scold pedestrians either on bridges ("your walking on the wrong side!") or on the street ("get out of the bike lane!"). newsflash- you fuckers break the rules all the time, i.e. traffic lights, stop signs, etc. get over yourselves
ok. that about does it for now. what makes you frown? feel free to vent along with me.
