Pet Peeves

People who take more than 5 minutes placing an order at a fast-food drive-thru window. I was behind a woman today who I thought might have been doing a job interview at the drive-thru window. There's not that much stuff on a McDonald's menu for that amount of time, and if you were going to put any thought into what you were eating, you wouldn't be at McDonald's anyhow.

Reminds me of a John Penette comedy set about someone holding everyone up whilst looking at the menu at KFC.
“ITS CHICKEN ! ALL THEY HAVE IS CHICKEN. GET TO END OF THE LINE”!!!

A reason not to eat fast food. After all it is for slow people.
 
My wife has someone come by to clean once a week, although we have two cleaning robots, one of which also mops, and it's not like we don't have brooms and cleaning supplies. While I don't quite understand the need, that's not my peeve.

The woman who comes by constantly closes our sliding door all the way. We have a sliding barn-type door on our enclosed porch, and we leave it open about a foot because I feed some outside cats in the porch, and so that UPS delivery people can be reminded that it's a sliding door. She goes out repeatedly throughout the time she's here cleaning to smoke or something, and every time, she closes the door all the way.

It's always open a foot or so when she arrives, I've told her a few times that we leave it partway open, and I am constantly getting up to open it, yet she persists in closing it all the way, and it's annoying.

Habits are hard to break. A post it note at eye level should fix this.
 
Pet Peeve of the day.

Some people do not need a driver’s license! No one seems to know how to use a roundabout, nor do they know what Stop, Yield, Right Lane Ends ahead; signs mean. I got a "sign" for them that they understand! And....Why is it when I park my car in the parking lot way back in the north 40 to prevent others from banging their car doors or leaving a cart smacked up next to my car, when I return to my car, there is always some 2 tone rusted out car that has plastic duct taped to one of the windows, a barking dog inside the car with his snout poking out of a one inch opening in another window, and that tiny spare tire riding shotgun with the other tires parked right next to me; like it was the only place left in a1,200 space parking lot? 😖

There is an invasion in Oklahoma. Someone must have sold an overproduction of 4 way signs to OKDoT. Why they do not apply to bicyclists in spandex with a helmet on? Can someone please explain?

I used to commute to work on my bicycle from the suburbs to just across the river from DC. As long as I obeyed the law (just like any other vehicle), I saw safe. I hated it when other cyclists would ride as though they were adults one moment and little kids doing whatever they wanted the next. And I never wore spandex...just shorts and my Special Needs kid white Bell helmet.
