Top 10 Pet Peeves

This week's top ten has to do with things that annoy us, in honor of National Pet Peeves week, which is this week. We all have them whether we like to admit it or not. Warning this post is rated PG instead of G because of #8.

1. Computers that won’t cooperate or are too slow – we might have to purchase a new computer soon. :o(
2. “Hot Spots” – “Hot Spots” are those places in our homes that seem to collect junk. It’s hard to keep them clean and once they are clean, they get cluttered again quickly.
3. Not being in control – Sundy doesn’t relinquish control of the remote control.
4. Not picking up after self – Sometimes Sundy will lay a food wrapper on the countertop instead of throwing it away, because it is so funny to watch Scott (who can’t stand things not “put away”) literally pick it up ten seconds later to throw it in the trash. She laughs ever time!
5. Being late – We try never to be late. Sundy hates it when she is late or someone else is late. It is definitely one of her pet peeves….
6. Not flushing the toilet - why do kids have problems remembering this?!
7. People who won’t listen and try new music – Our whole family has a rule that all music is good, unless the lyrics are bad or it invites an evil spirit into our home. So we listen to all styles of music, country, rock, classical and musicals!
8. Being goosed on the stairs – Don’t try this at home. It sometimes results in wetting your pants!
9. Leaving lights on when not in use – Scott also likes to walk around and follow all of us as we move from room to room to turn off lights. He is definitely the Light Nazi.
10. Bad drivers – They suck!

I hope you meant "throw it in the trash!" =) What a fun list! I think my biggest pet peeve is when you try to contact someone (whether it be via email, phone, etc.) and they don't contact you back. #2 is traffic.

My biggest pet peeve is wrinkles in the sheets. I absolutly cannot go to sleep when there are wrinkles and if I wake up in the middle of the night for any reason I have to fix the wrinkles or I can't go back to sleep. It drives my husband crazy because sometimes I end up waking him up while I am making the bed in the middle of the night just to get the wrinkles out!

Thank Alana for that save. I can't believe we didn't catch that. It is all fixed now.
