Nails again...
I agreed with Missy's toenail Pet Peeve wholeheartedly. I am going to go one step further. Guys, what is with the long finger nails?!
No guy should have nails long enough that he could get french tips put on them.
So guys listen to this piece of advice. CUT YOUR NAILS. 'Nuf said.

Parking
You know when you are in a rush to run into a store quickly, grab something and run right back out. Just be 2 minutes tops. Sure, sure. But unless there is an emergency or a baby is coming out of someone, there is no excuse to park like this in a mall parking lot, big truck or not:
This is what is referred to as Douche Bag Parking.
Pet Peeve: People who's egos match the size of their truck so they think park all willie nillie. Yeah that's right, I said willie nillie.

The Schnoz
Today while at work on my computer, I suddenly hear a fog horn go off behind me. Caught me completely off guard that I actually jumped. Oh wait... sorry it was some guy walking by my desk just blowing his nose. Easy mistake. I do believe he was using a handkerchief, which ok Grandpa, those went out of style awhile ago... and for good reason.
But this did start a conversation on Pet Peeves and sneezing. You know those people who have the teeny tiniest "achoo" like in a cartoon? You kind of want to shake them and yell, "Get a REAL sneeze." Because honestly people that little sneeze cannot be fulfilling in the World of Sneezes.
Then you have the person who sneezes 100 times in a row. To those people I just say "Let me know when your finished, I'll just bless you then". Now that one has got to be annoying to them and everyone else, including the fly on the wall.
Then you have people like me, who sounds like their head has exploded. Usually it makes people laugh and ask if I'm ok. I get to thank my Mom on those genetics, I apparently inherited her sneeze genes. Thanks Mom.
Last you have the person who internalizes their sneezes. This just makes it look like they've somehow imploded inside. I'm not sure how brain damage isn't caused by this action to be honest. Looks very uncomfortable.
Pet Peeve: Two Ply Kleenex, a real sneeze requires a Three Ply min. And people who use handkerchiefs because that means the boogers are in your pockets, on your hands, everywhere and that is just EW!

Long toenails
You know.
The type of toenail to rip a hole in your sock.
The type to scratch your loved-one's leg in the middle of the night..
The type to cut through glass!?!?!
Yes.
People, cut your toenails. Not only is it unbearingly ugly to look at...
But long toenails can be a dangerous, dangerous weapon.
Gross.

The last minute guy...
While merging onto the highway by my house in the morning, it usually gets pretty backed up if you leave even a few minutes later than normal.
Most people are pretty good about letting you merge in, as this is an everyday occurrence during rush hour. However, you have those people who absolutely need to squeeze in one more car length before they merge. Taking it right down until the lane runs out and then some.
Pet Peeve: Idiot drivers who think that cutting in at the last second is a good idea, even going onto the shoulder of the road to make this happen to get a few cars ahead. Usually don't even bother with using a signal. Why would they, no one needs to know this moron is coming up do we? If they just had 2 seconds of patience the roads would be a whole lot safer.

Shared Database
At work, we have a shared Database so everyone can access information from different computers, different offices, etc. This is to make things a lot easier. . .
Well today the Database reached the new level of Butt-Hole with me. First thing this morning when I tried to save a new document, the save page wouldn't work. I ended up having to force quit the program as it froze. However it apparently did save the document, just not in a format that would open. So all my changes had been lost, it also froze the program.
That was Restart #1 and happened before 8 am.
The second restart occurred when two documents froze. Now these two documents I had opened for reference, and nothing else. For whatever reason they decided that when I tried to close then, that they refused to close. Causing me yet again to open Task Manager and force quit. Which also closed the documents I was working on (I saved prior to the close). This however for some reason locked out the documents I was using.
Restart #2 has now happened and it is like 8:15 am. Did I mention I'm not a morning person? Really should just avoid me before 9 am. My computer is now walking on thin ice. I'm fantasizing of a way to pull this Database program out and go "Office Space" on it's a%% (the movie not the TV show).
Next thing I'm working on, I've finished, and I go to close one of the three documents open. However it closes the wrong document. Even the save question was related to the document I said to close... however it's now locked open the document I wanted closed and closed the one I wanted open. And locked it out so I can't open it again.
Restart #3 and I'm about ready to throw this computer out of the window. Not only did it close the wrong document, but it lost the last 15 min of work I had done. Luckily my 11 am meeting had been postponed until tomorrow because this was 11:15 am. I haven't even had lunch yet and I'm ready to call it a day.
Pet Peeve: Workplaces who by cheap software and force the employees to somehow make it work and a database which punishes you for something you did in another life.
