Releasing Some Steam
Pet peeves are universal but one man's annoyance is not necessarily universal but it could be common. It is interesting to read about common pet peeves thereby making it an excellent opportunity to blog.
There are two ways that this meme can be tackled. It can be done all in one blog posting like shown here or broken down into numerous posts over a few days -- a series of peeves if you will.
This lens is part of a project I started on Blogging Memes. It is one of fifty. Want more blogging memes? Then visit the Fifty Memes lens. You'll also find more on intros, tagging and great blogging books.
But first you have some questions to answer!

One Peeve at a Time
Provide an introduction and then blog about 10 of your own pet peeves. Use the title of this meme in your subject line or create your own. Feel free to tag your friends or not. A link back to this lens would be appreciated.
The idea for this meme came from reading Poddy's My Pet Peeves - Things That Annoy Me lens
1. People who leave their car running, park in front of the doors and run into a business when there is a parking space 10 to 15 feet away. And they usually are not fat people.
2. People who correct my email spelling mistakes. It's an email, not a website or essay. I mean if you are going to print it out and frame it then by all means let me know and I'll send you a better copy. Or worse, give me an English lesson on the difference between it's and its. I think at 38 I know the difference. It's a typo, let it go people. Do you email publishers to let them know about typos in their books?
3. Burnt popcorn being pumped through movie theaters.
4. People who chat up the cashiers at the grocery store when there is a huge lineup. Pay for your stuff and leave.
5. Shiny computer screens.
6. Shiny screens on debit machines.
7. Products that change in size but are still the same price. I'd rather they stayed the same and went up in price. Like: tampons, sanitary napkins, toilet paper, paper towel.
8. Friends who drop off the face of the planet and then say they left messages when you see them.
9. People who assume that I'm going to have kids.
10. Generalizations about fat people.
It actually felt good to get that all out. I highly recommend it.
