Pet Peeves

People who talk during movies, people using my yard as a short cut

Edited to add: I agree with the person who complained about people who make others sick. I have a coworker who picks her kids up from day care when they’re sick and brings them back to the office. They run around literally smearing snot - the xerox, the fax, everywhere! everywhere. Our manager lets her do it “because what is a working mom to do?” (Take sick leave and take them home!!!!)

Or duct tape them to chairs...

To the germy urchin who brought their nasty stomach bug to school and gave it to my daughter, who in turn passed it on to me end of last week:

I do not like you.

I remember back in elementary school (oh so long ago), there was a lice outbreak, I got it and gave it to my parents and grandparents.

Besides the lice, the only other thing I caught in school was Whooping cough. I know exactly how I contracted it. We were not allowed to bring water bottles to school so the drinking foundation was the only option. The foundations were nasty, hardly ever clean. Now the stupid kids would put lips on the spout, for the water would just barely spurt out 3 inches. Needless to say a good handful got sick.

If someone is wearing a full sleeve clothing, and then rolls it up, and then wears a jacket on top, without rolling down the sleeves, I'll ghost them for life.

So, you must hate the shirts that give the option to roll up and secure it with a button. Might as well ghost me because I own several of those shirts and they're wonderful. Yes, sometimes I do wear jackets over them

The public school here also does not allow water bottles. Except on test days, when they pass out water bottles. Why? Because hydration is important for a good working brain. But apparently only on test day, not on learning day. They also don't allow girls to carry purses or allow them to go to their lockers or bathrooms between classes. Not gonna spell this out except to say, stupid.

Will explain this is because of the drug problems in the school.

I mean, I get it, but dang. That's pretty harsh policy.

I can see rules like that in high school. But for me this was in Elementary and Middle school (was homeschooled after that but probably the same I imagine). Yeah, were not allowed to bring purses, plastic knives, or wear hats. I recall a student getting detention for bringing a plastic knife to spread their peanut butter or cream cheese.

Yes. Is why my kids didn't/ don't go there. Private school.
