DAVE FOWLER for his pet peeve #3!

“When I’ve been talking to someone face to face, only later to realise I’ve got a great big lump of something hanging from my nose.”

It’s not only the most gross pet peeve in the list, but the most embarrassing and most frustrating one! He wins in all categories.

And yeah, venting and laughing about it can be a healing, fun experience. It’s certainly better than hinting around and trying to get others to be sympathetic. My thing is, as soon as I realize I’m grumpy, I have a hard time keeping it up since the idea of being angry for no reason is too funny to stay upset.

Misery loves company… I think this saying is about the way some people actually want to see others miserable so they won’t feel so alone in their own misery. I had a grumpy day kind of like yours earlier this week. I find that as I get older, I get better at brushing off grumpiness. It takes some effort though and laughter is great medicine for that!

No forty is NOT old. Not, not, not old! I actually started going grey at 19, and that was a long time ago.

People who are 90 are old.

Is it rude to call someone old?

Yes, I’m the ridiculous one.

It was fun. Thank you for letting me join in.

1. Ya, I know what you mean
2. Happens to me all the time.
3. Is that your pet peeve, or the other person’s?
4. So, ahem, are you saying 40 is old?
5 & 6. Yes!
7. Gross!
8. So, are you calling yourself a ridiculous one of The Olds?

That was fun (except for the gross ones). Thanks for dropping by.

Hope you don’t mind me adding a few?

My pet peeves include:

1. People who’ve barely introduced themselves, before taking over your comment section with a long list of ridiculous pet peeves.

2. When I’m standing at a urinal and the guy next to me strikes up a conversation.

3. When I’ve been talking to someone face to face, only later to realise I’ve got a great big lump of something hanging from my nose.

4. When someone comments, “Dave, you’re going very grey.” YES I’M GOING GREY. SO WHAT? I’M NEARLY BLOODY FORTY!

5. When people are disrespectful to The Olds.

6. When people call members of the aging population ‘The Olds’!

7. People with their skanky, crusty old toenails on show in their grubby sandals.

8. Ridiculous people, who enjoy ridiculous humour.

Hi Lance. Thanks for popping in. Oh ya, slow drivers in the fast lane. That gets my boyfriend all the time. I don’t mind the phone answering too much unless they spend 5 or 10 minutes talking while I’m waiting.
