Pet Peeves

I don't know if this is a pet peeve, but it is aggravating to me. I can't seem to find a pair of pants that isn't wide leg. Good grief, I think I can get both of my legs in one pant leg! And what's up with clothing companies calling the opening of the bottom of pants itty bitty boot cut pants. Those pants are definitely not boot cut! They are bell bottoms! I guess I am just too hard to please. Stay tuned, I can rant about a lot of stuff.

There is a world between bell bottoms and wide leg. LL Bean may work for you. All the mainstream denim sells boot cut. Even Walmart has a wearable new line. Levi’s were under $25 on Amazon yesterday. Trouser cut works for me. Very high waist and tapered below the knee. What are you really looking for?

I wouldn't think most people would have habits built around barn doors, though.

I could fix it, but my wife tells you you're not allowed to beat the hired help anymore in Maine. I blame the unions.

She was undoubtedly repeatedly reprimanded (as I was) by one or both parents for leaving the door open by using that phrase, “YOU WEREN’T BORN IN A BARN,,,CLOSE THE DOOR !!!

And alas, you expose her to her greatest fear: A Open Barn Door.

My son's family lives in a "barndominium" on 24 acres near Bastrop TX. When I ask my granddaughter "were you raised in a barn?" she says YES.

One of my pet peeves: Employers who mistreat their employees.

I'm happy for this employee who got back at her employer for humiliating her:

Former Hooter’s waitress settles ‘toy Yoda’ lawsuit - HeraldNet.com

PANAMA CITY, Fla. — A former waitress has settled her lawsuit against Hooters, the restaurant that gave her a toy Yoda doll instead of the Toyota she thought she’d won.
Jodee Berry, 27, won a beer sales contest last May at the Panama City Beach Hooters. She believed she had won a new Toyota and happily was escorted to the restaurant’s parking lot in a blindfold.
But when the blindfold was removed, she found she had won a new toy Yoda — the little green character from the "Star Wars" movies.

David Noll, her attorney, said Wednesday that he could not disclose the settlement’s details, although he said Berry can now go to a local car dealership and "pick out whatever type of Toyota she wants."

After the stunt, Berry quit the restaurant and filed a lawsuit against Gulf Coast Wings, Inc., the restaurant’s corporate owner, alleging breach of contract and fraudulent misrepresentation.
The restaurant’s manager, Jared Blair, had said the whole contest was an April Fools’ joke.

Since it happened in 2002, I hope she picked out the most expensive Toyota available at the time, which means the settlement was around $20,000.00 - $25,000.00. ( I know because in 2002, I bought a new Toyota Camry),
