Pet Peeves....Have any....post them here!

Ok, ok....everyone has them...pet peeves. You know the things that really P you off. The things that get under your skin and drive you CRAZY, with or without cause! Here's a few of ours. Leave us a comment and tell us yours.

Jessica's TOP Pet Peeves in Reverse Order:

3. Keeping things just for the sake of it. This is one of my husband's #1 traits. He thinks that everything that can be kept...should be. Everything has a purpose and besides, "You never know when you might find a use for this tiny ziplock bag that the screws came in" This man keeps everything....and I mean most everything. The good thing is that he is an organized "keeper" so everything has it place but wow....I think if you haven't used it in 2 years then for the love of all that is holy and righteous ditch it!
2. A Fake Sale. If you are going to advertise a sale make sure it is really a sale. FYI, 10-35% off is not a real sale. You should actually break the 50% mark to make a sale and if you want a REAL sale then it should be 70% off plus. I hate to stop for a "sale" that is really not and don't get me started on the buy 1 get 1 half off stuff...that is not a sale. Top of the list along these lines are expensive garage sale. If you love that little red pillow so much that you still think it is worth $12 because you paid $18 for it 2 years ago then keep it because at a yard sale we expect to pay 50 cents....maybe a buck and 50 cents. Overpriced yard sales are outrageous!
1. Knowing it ALL. If you know the cure to cancer (outside of Christ) then please let the authorities somewhere know. Nothing drives me crazier than when someone knows EVERYTHING about ever subject....especially about my kids. It seems too many folks are experts outside their fields. I am sure that they are all well-intentioned but really how many fields can one person be an expert in?


Chad's list:

3. Whining, Complaining. I hate to hear people whin and complain. I am not the compassionate one in our marriage! I typically have the suck it up, get over it, work through it, stop whining, move forward philosophy. When I work on something or am a part of something or take on something I give 110% so I hate to hear people whin that are giving 5%. If I show up early for a project, work my guts out, change my schedule and priorities to be there and give all I have I can't stand to hear someone who shows up late, sits around and whins about how inconvenient it was to be there or worse yet whin later why they couldn't make it at all.

2. Repetetive Sounds....drive me CRAZY! No one sound bothers me but the same sound for any prolonged period of time that is lasting over a couple of minutes starts to grate on my nerves! WHEW...I'd just rather shoot the perpetrator than listen for another minute. "STOP TAPPING THE WINDOW!!!"

1. Quiting before the job is done. Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing drives me crazier than when someone makes a commitment, takes on a task, offers themselves, plugs in, etc. only to quickly thereafter or even a while thereafter drop out, stop, give up, throw in the towel, or drift away. Never abandon ship. I know that seasons change but I always want to know that if my role in anything changes it is because God has authorized it, required it and expects it. I want to know that my role or purpose has been accomplished. I hate when people give up or just quit....especially if they are doing so because it got tough or required a little work out of them.

OK, It's your turn now....tell us your pet peeves now.........
