My pet peeve involving phones is different from most people's. MY cell phone exists for MY convenience, not everyone else's. There are a lot of times during the day (when I'm getting ready for work, or an hour or so after work, when I'm getting ready for bed, etc) when I don't feel like talking on the phone. Leave me a darn message and I'll call you back!!

Don't call me half a dozen times and then demand to know why I didn't pick up. It's nothing personal, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone. ANYONE. If it's an emergency, you can send the voicemail through as "urgent" and I will check it, but don't expect me to drop everything just because the phone rang.


Yesterday, I was driving over Hwy 17, which is a very twisty and dangerous road. I witnessed the results of a horrifying four-car crash that happened bcause someone was in a huge hurry and cut someone else off on a blind curve, slammed into the car in front of them, etc. I really don't like unsafe drivers, especially on a road that's already dangerous. A lot of people around here thing it's cool to go as fast as possible over 17. It takes me 35 minutes to get over it, but some of my friends have done it in twelve.


I think everyone here knows that almost all of my other pet peeves are related to little kids being noisy or rude or being where they shouldn't.
