MckLinky Monday: Pet Peeves

So I'm on a search for my Top 5 Pet Peeves!

Hmmm....

"Pet peeves often involve specific behaviors of someone close, such as a spouse or significant other. These behaviors may involve disrespect, manners, personal hygiene, relationships, and family issues. A key aspect of a pet peeve is that it may well seem acceptable to others." - thank you Wikipedia!

If your drinking glass is empty, DO NOT rattle the ice at another person indicating to them to get you something to drink.

If you have idle time at work, find something to do. DO NOT work crossword puzzles while your co-workers are working around you.

Swimming serviceware- Yuck! After you serve your food, make sure the serviceware/spoon is safely resting on the side of the bowl or place it in a spoon rest.

Twitter. If you want me to retweet something or if I just do, leave me enough characters to retweet it so that all characters are included.

Our garbage service refuses to dump our cans if its not in a bag. Why? Why? Why? Especially, when they are the one knocking it out of my bag into my can! Arrgghhh....

Now its time for you to tell The RHOK your Top 5! Can you top mine?

MckLinky Monday: Pet Peeve

What is your favorite pet peeve as of late?

Wieners!!!

First of all I detest the word wienie. I think the word is a borderline synonym of a part of the male anatomy. Whatever, don't ask me. I also believe that coffee and cigarettes killed my grandparents so that's why I don't do either one. Well, I'm getting a little better with the coffee thing...but its still way back in my childhood mind! So around my house we call wienie's or wieners- Hot Dogs!

So my pet peeve started again two weeks ago. I went to my son's football game in Pryor, OK. Now mind you, I now live in a large city, Broken Arrow, OK, a suburb of Tulsa, population approximately 97,000 and I grew up in a town of 1,803. In both places, when you asked for a hot dog at the concession stand you got the entire thing. Meat and Bun!

Well, I asked for a hot dog and only got a bun. Whaaaat? Yeah, I looked down at my bun, up at the lady and asked, "Can I have a wienie, with my bun?" She looked at me like I was crazy and then pointed to the right and told me it was at the grill. At the grill? Well, fancy that. I think she just wanted me to say the "w" word.

And, it just keeps going on. The "w" curse. This morning I go to make a grocery list and pull out the bottom meat crisper. What do I find, someone in my family opened a package of Hot Dogs and did not drain the juice off of them before putting unclosed package back into the crisper. Now I have "w" juice all over everything. Just another nasty pet peeve to clean up!

At least the Wiener Mobile hasn't penetrated my home like it did this one in July of 2009! Really, it did- read about it here!
