It’s pet peeve Thursday. What’s been getting under your skin lately? It’s okay. Go ahead and push the button labeled “Annoyances.”
I’ve got a pet peeve I’d like to share – people who go to the post office totally unprepared. I love the folks who work at the post office on Avent Ferry Road in Raleigh including Tony, Romeo, Sharon, Dale and Linda. They are always cheerful, helpful and highly professional. I was in there the other day and this guy had three things to mail but he had no boxes, sketchy address information and simply no clue about common courtesy.
The staff handled the situation with poise and patience but I felt sorry for the people in line waiting to get their packages mailed. Is it too much to ask for someone to package, tape and address their items before they arrive at the post office?
It’s really not that hard.
Okay, it’s your turn. What’s your pet peeve this week?

1) People that are stopped in the lanes of the parking lot at Wal-mart waiting for you to put your bags in the car and leave so that they can take your spot. (I have suddenly gotten the urge to walk to another store before. Man, that's fun.)
2. The people that talk about how much they work, but in reality they're the laziest person ever. There's this woman at my work like that. She's all like, "I'm turning my life around." But in reality she's just upgraded who she mooches off of.
I'm sure if I thought I could come up with more, but that's all. Y'all's are all good!

Folks who don't even acknowledge someone's presence when a door is opened for them. Some even find the gesture insulting.
I find people who find me annoying, annoying.
