I’m not sure if my title indicates that this post will talk NOT about pet peeves but RATHER peeves that belong to pets. Such as- dingleberries, flea baths and toddlers. However, this post is about pet peeves, but I didn’t want to title it boring old, “Pet Peeves”, so that’s how we got “Peeves O’ Pets”. You get the idea. I’ve rambled too long about this.
I had absolutely no writing material for today, so I decided to link up with good old Monday Listicles for a prompt.
This weeks’ list is- you guessed it- pet peeves. Or Peeves O’ Pets. Whatever.
Here are my top ten peeves.
1. People that sneeze at buffets.
2. Buffets.
3. Generic brand ketchup that tastes like red tomato water.
4. Rude drivers that refuse to wave or nod or acknowledge the fact that I just let them cut in a very long line. Maybe you’ll acknowledge me when I ram the back of your Town and Country.
5. Kids that don’t say, “thank you” after I purchased candles/magazines/candy bars/war bonds to support their school.
6. Psychos.
7. Germs.
8. Fixing a delicious sandwich and then realizing we have no potato chips.
9. Pregnancy tests that malfunction with “inconclusive results”.
10. Not being able to return peed-on six dollar pregnancy tests that malfunction with “inconclusive results”.
I could go on for hours. Days. Weeks. Months. Years. Decades. Eons.
But, I’ve decided not to complain on my blog so much, so you only get ten.
Hi Susannah–I love your blog title and also how you named this post. If I had given birth to a girl, Susannah was the name we were going to use. Alas, three boys. Stopping over from Monday Listicles.
I strongly dislike it when kids do not say thank you as well! My husband was raised as a dedicated thank you card writer, and he’s been a positive influence on me. Training kids to say “thank you” is SOOO important!

I wrote a post a few weeks ago about the importance of the thank you note!!! Thanks so much for your comment and for stopping by! (and for liking my name) 🙂
Great list. Made me laugh out loud. Loved that pregnancy test one. Did you seriously try to return that? ahaha! Psychos. Germs. Buffets. I never thought I’d see those together in a list!
I didn’t try to return it…..but I thought about it! Glad I could make you lol! Thanks for stopping by!!
I LOVE your blog header – so cool.
I completely agree with #1…seriously…common sense tells you not to sneeze or COUGH at a buffet…it’s just so gross on all levels…and I love buffets, but can’t think too much about them or I will be completely grossed out.
Thanks so much! The blog header is new. As for buffets, I secretly love them, but the hairy guy in sweatpants that’s coughing up a lung on the salad tongs usually completely ruins it for me. There’s no coming back from that. Thanks for the comment!
11. People who get 18 plates at buffets and don’t eat their food. And sit there for hours. I’m getting pissed.
I’m getting a little pissed at that, too.
HA! You crack me up… I love your peeves!!! Oh dear- that sounds weird doesn’t it? Like really weird.
Never weird my friend. I get you.
