Pet peeves, everyone has them, me included. Here are five pet peeves of mine, along with a link relevant to said pet peeve.
1. Walking on eggshells
As someone who appreciates honesty, it's really tough for me to tiptoe around an issue. When things aren't dealt with honestly and directly, we end up bending over backwards to appease.
2. Unfounded arrogance
There's a fine line between self confidence and being cocky. That said, I have no problem with arrogance when it's founded in factual results. For example, Randy Johnson has the right to be cocky about facing the Cubs. He's 13-0 against them in his career.
But, some people have an inflated sense of self worth that is founded only in their demented world existing only between their ears.
3. Overpunctuation
Grammar is in my DNA. It bothers me when precious characters are wasted. Some try to correct the offenders. I don't. I read their words and judge them quietly. Just kidding. Or am I???
4. Mistruths
I think this again comes back to the honesty thing. Look, I'm no saint. I don't claim to be. And I'm actually quite a good liar, ask any of my poker buddies. But, in things that matter, I choose not to lie. I wish some of our more high profile politicians would follow suit.
Maybe it's not a lie. Maybe it's convenient amnesia. I don't know, I'm merely a Joe Lunchpailer. Just like Brett Favre, or so I thought.
5. Mosquito bites
I've got a doosey on my foot right now. Topical cream, shmopical cream. I want to itch.
Random Observation of the Day: The Jonas Brothers...eh, forget it, don't get me started. I heard a good joke about them not long ago, but it's too dirty for this space.
