People vs Technology

I know there are a lot of people young and old who push back against technology.

You can easily tell who those people are by the hunt and peck typing or by the attempt to pound the keyboard into pieces.

Pet peeve: people who have no idea that pounding your keyboard is unnecessary and seriously annoying to those around them. If you hate it that much, just use as a bat to your own head and knock yourself out so the rest of us can type in relative silence.

Drink?

Pet peeve: people who empty the Brita and put it back in the fridge empty.

Cell phone rings

In this day and age when you can have your cell phone customized with anything when it rings. I am stumped as to why someone chooses the Rotary phone ring.

All that reminds me of is the time with no voice mail or call waiting and parents yelling "Someone answer the phone already!!" Then whoever yelling to the person to come to the phone as the cord was only really long enough to strangle a younger sibling who was driving you nuts.

Being Sick

Nothing worse then being sick. But to add insult to injury why do you always sound like one of the following:

Kermit the Frog
Craggly Old Hag
Hoarse the Horse

Trick or treat?

So Halloween has come and gone once again. I've always been a big fan of this holiday of sorts. But last night has made me question my candy giving beliefs.

It took forever for kids to finally start showing up, and when they finally did the lack of enthusiasm was evident.

You'd think bran bars were on the menu and not free candy!

But it was the last kid that really killed my spirit. He was taller than me. Not even wearing a costume and demanded doubles on the treats. As at this point I was home alone, I was not going to argue.

The kid was just short a pair of nylons and a weapon from committing robbery.

Now I understand the lights out, pretend we are not home approach lots of people take.

Pet Peeve: Kids who are too old to Trick or Treat and do so just for freebies, get a job earn it, that's what I did so I could support your munchies.
