In March of this year, I wrote a post, in which I shared with you the 50 things I love. My hope was that you would get a chuckle or two from a light-hearted post. During that time, there was a lot of bad news circulating, especially about the financial crisis and the toll that it had taken on a number of folks. Over the past few weeks, a somber mood has been lingering in the wake of several tragedies. So, today, I compiled a list of my 50 pet peeves, hoping that it will break up the cloud of sadness and bring about a couple smiles. Enjoy!
1. Paralysis from over-analysis
2. Driver cruising below the speed limit in the left lane
3. Kids wearing their pants so low, you can actually see their under garments
4. Pessimism
5. Large, chaotic areas
6. Closed MRIs ( I'm a little claustrophobic)
7. Tardiness
8. Chicken liver
9. Awaking from a wonderful dream
10. Faithlessness
11. Sinus headaches and allergies
