Someone recently asked me what my pet peeves are, so I thought up my top five…..
1. It doesn’t happen often, but if I ever see someone brushing their hair at or near a dinner table, I want to gag! I absolutely hate stray hair. I would almost classify this under more of a phobia, but wherever it is…I hate it. I can’t get into the shower unless there is not even one stray just hanging out. (Can you imagine my disgust when there is a drain full of it!) I will NEVER eat at a restaurant where I have found a hair in my food -which happens all of the time! I am convinced that because I am looking for it I find it more often….but that says that everyone else is just eating it! GROSS! As I was growing up, I found it even more than I do today. But the “perp” was my bratty little sister Tristen who was planting it in my food regularly! I guess it should have made me mad, but it just kept me skinnier than her!
2. I absolutely can not stand the sight of someone brushing their teeth and spitting it into the kitchen sink! It never is a long walk to the bathroom, and there is the right place for everything.
3. I HATE it when I am at a restaurant and they start sweeping or vacuuming right next to my table! It’s disgusting! You know there have to be little dust mites (and probably hair) that creep their way up into my food! This also goes along with another pet peeve….I hate room service at hotels. I don’t care how “clean” we think our room is…you know there are little lurkers in every corner. I am specifically talking about hair, but “lurkers” can mean anything that isn’t supposed to be there. And there is just something gross about eating where you are going to sleep, unless you are in your own bed with a good candy bar. Home is where the clean heart is…not hotels! I don’t even walk around five star resorts without wearing shoes at all times! NASTY!
4. It drive me nuts to unpack from a vacation. Packing doesn’t bother me in the least, but unpacking the load is the worst! I think it has to do with the loads of laundry and not having anything fun to look forward to … except putting it away?! Not lately, but when I was much younger, I was known to keep my stuff packed until the next vacation. It was always a treat to open the suitcase to find the shirt I had been searching for, or my driver’s license just in time for my next trip.
5. Last but definitely not least….I can’t eat, or sit around anyone eating Lucky Charms. You know the goosebumps you get from someone scratching the chalkboard….I get it when my teeth scrape along those artificial marshmallows. Just the thought makes me shutter! The worst is when someone saves all of the marshmallows until the end and eats them all at once……disgusting! I would rather eat anything than Lucky Charms!
