Pet Peeves

The following is a list of things that bother, anger, upset and/or frustrate me:

Not using turn signals whilst driving. Dragging one's feet on the ground. Slow moving bureaucracies. Bad architecture. People who say this: 'Our country was founded on Judeo-Christian values and we have to be careful about what values our children are taught,' said one Republican board member. Whining. People who talk all the time, and mostly about themselves. People who touch my computer monitor with their grubby, grimy fingers. "Seagull managers." The fact that the gas in my stove constantly blows out whilst baking/ovening. My writing ability. Groups of young English girls. Middlemen. When I overcook meat. Just about everything that relates to suburbs. Fried chicken restaurants all over London. Starbucks all over London. Cigarettes and smoking (and thus, most Italians, with the French and English close behind). Running to the station to catch a cancelled train. Cancelled trains in general. Chantelle Houghton. Tabloids. Planned economies and unrestricted capitalism. Nazis. Stress. Poor restaurant service. Bad beer. West End clubs. The Hiccups. Napping for far longer than intended, like last night, then waking at the time one ought to go to bed. Sitting in traffic. Crickett. Highly entropic societies.

So there you have it. Mind you, it is not a complete list, so it may be updated as the pet peeves keep occuring. I thought of one the other night but now I can't remember it. Oh, there is another one: not being able to remember something.
