Pet Peeves

As I arrive at the hospital,the guy with the oversized golf cart pulls up and asks me if i need a ride. I am in the front row, only steps from the door and clearly able bodied. I reply, 'I think I'm good'. The golf cart guy insists and expresses his concern 'I may get too hot'....and I think this is just one of the things wrong with the world. Which leads me into all the things that currently are getting my goat starting with number one: 1. People that are too lazy to walk 10 feet which also includes people that park in handicap spots that aren't handicapped. 2. Stupid people--today it was the woman at Walgreens that told me to wait for my photos because she thought they would be ready in a minute and 20 minutes later when I asked about them she went and checked and low and behold she hadn't put any paper in the machine and instead of apologising, she giggles. Not kidding. 3. Any Starbucks employee that puts water in my soy chai no water. 4. People that don't watch their kids and expect other people to deal. Inconsiderate. Deal with your own shit! I've got enough on my plate!! 5. People that don't say excuse me. They just assume knock you over. 6. Serenading. Especially in the Walmart parking lot. Listen creepy dude, I realise it's one your defining characteristics but stop it anyways. 7. When someone takes sarcasm the wrong way. Or when jokes die. 8. When all 4 kids talk at once and keep getting louder in a game of who will get their message across first. 9. When Campbell pretends to be a fire engine before 8am 10. The weather: too hot or too cold 11. When things such as 'vaginal mesh' come up...especially if I will have to explain what that is (because I have no idea) 12. VuVusuealas (big horns--see also instruments that children might play.) 13. Crying. Mostly just when I cry. Yes I repulse myself. 14. Thongs. Why?! I would rather go commando any day! I don't understand. 15. Most reality TV and everyone involved 16. When kids are sassy. It's not cute. If your child tells you how it's gonna be and you think it's so cute and that they just have so much personality, you and that child need to be bitch slapped. 17. Fat girls that wear tini tiny bikinis and walk around like they own it. Where is your mother?? 18. Chipmunks and things that crap in my yard. If my children crap in the yard I'm extra annoyed. 19. People that talk down to you. See also stupid people. These people may try to use big words incorrectly. 20. Diet Soda, high fructose corn syrup, modified anything. What the hell FDA? Do you do anything good? 21. Political correctness. And a world in which we can't say sit 'Indian' style. Damn liberal narrow mindedness. 22. Poop shrapnel. Fecking crap. Constantly touching it. I hate poop---I will address this subject in a separate post more. 23. Laundry 24. Chiperness/hiperness/craziness before 7am. I just want to ease in to my day! This is all I can think of right off the top of my head but there are many many more. I think we find little things to distract us from the big things sometimes. For instance, I'm sitting in the hospital with my dad who is battling stage four cancer. As a child, parents are invincible and have all the answers. You never see them age or question their mortality. Dad has always warned me he's going to go before me one way or another but watching him now I feel broken...and cheated. Mostly because I'm selfish. I will pray for more time and when I get it, before i even say thank you, i will ask for more. Hopefully we will win this time and even see remission. That is my hope. But at the end of the day i feel very loved and never alone so...I guess I should count my blessings and thank God for everything i do have and not let the little things rob me of what I have right now.
