Man getting annoyed

ADVANCED STUDENTS,

EVERYBODY HAS PET PEEVES TO TELL. I HAVE SO MANY PET PEEVES THAT I HAD TO SELECT SOME OF THEM TO POST HERE. I CAN SAY I DON’T GET IRRITATED ALL THE TIME, BUT A LOT OF THINGS GETS ON MY NERVES. UNLIKE MANY PEOPLE, SMALL THINGS PISSES ME OFF. CHECK IT OUT!

SOME OF KELLY’S PET PEEVES

It really annoys me when I go shopping and there is no parking space for me. I have to wait for a lot of time for one. I think parking space is getting a big problem in Brasília. Wherever I go, depending on the time of the day, it is almost impossible to park the car.

It gets on my nerves when I am in the middle of an important thing on the web and it goes dead. I have to restart all over again…. it is worst if it is a chat. I have to say that my net isn’t good and apology. However the conversation looses a little bit the focus I was having previously.

I don’t understand why Brazilian drivers use their hands to ask for passing. They avoid the TURN SIGNAL to use the OK SIGN. They stare at us and show the ok finger. Even if I don’t want to let them go I have to. Many drivers show the OK SIGN and don’t stop the car to SEE if they can really go. They just go… It can be dangerous! WAIT FOR YOUT TURN!

It bugs me when I don’t have money to buy a nice thing in the end of the month. How my salary is so small!

I am having a list of the most annoying things.

Top ? list of Pet Peeves

  1. People who are always late.
  2. Talking on cell phones and driving too slow in the fast lane.

  4. People throwing cigarette butts on the beach or out of cars.
  5. Waitors and waitresses with dirty fingernails.
  6. People who don’t perform their duties at work.

  8. Not washing hands after using the bathroom.
  9. Children’s hand prints on the windows in car.
  10. People who constantly stand in your personal space.

NOW MY DEAR STUDENTS, TELL ME YOUR PET PEEVES.
