Flies. Especially the ones that fly into my house and then buzz around my head and move too fast to be swatted.<\/p>\n
The default font on my word program. Helvetica. Really?<\/p>\n
The way I can see multiple chins in my reflection in my computer.<\/p>\n
When my husband makes himself a snack just before dinner.<\/p>\n
When my husband makes himself a snack right after dinner.<\/p>\n
Mopping.<\/p>\n
The price of having things framed. I have piles of things I\u0092d love to have framed if it didn\u0092t represent a small fortune. They just never look quite right if you frame them yourself. Never.<\/p>\n
My mailbox. It\u0092s small and black and plain and doesn\u0092t go with my house at all. I guess that\u0092s what happens when you live on the other side of the ocean and tell your realtor \u0093Just go buy a cheap mailbox.\u0094 I need to look at it and see how hard it would be to switch it out.<\/p>\n
Cutting in paint. Even with tape. I stink at it.<\/p>\n
Stores and restaurants that are too hot. If it\u0092s the dead of winter and your employees are wearing short sleeves, it\u0092s too hot inside your business. See, I\u0092ve come in wearing a turtleneck and a heavy coat and a scarf and a hat and gloves and boots. And I can\u0092t set all that down in your break room. So I\u0092m not going to stick around and spend a lot of my money here. And, by the way, all that heat also gives me a migraine. So, thanks for that, too.<\/p>\n
People who pet my dog without permission. I\u0092ll never be able to teach him not to jump on people if you just reach down and pet him no matter his behavior.<\/p>\n
My waist. (or lack thereof)<\/p>\n
The assumption by others that I\u0092m available 24\/7 in my role as a volunteer. <\/p>\n
The way people will answer their cell phones at inappropriate times (in the library, while talking with someone, in line at the supermarket) and without even saying hello say \u0093I can\u0092t talk right now.\u0094 Then why\u0092d you answer? That\u0092s what voice mail is for.<\/p>\n
Carrying a purse and grocery shopping. The two just don\u0092t go together. The one benefit of winter is I know I\u0092ll have on a coat and can stuff my wallet into the pocket. On the downside, even my grocery store is too hot in the winter. (I really don\u0092t want to see the electric bills companies around here pay in January.)<\/p>\n
People who tout induction cooktops as being able to boil water in 90 seconds or less. I had one in France and it did no such thing.<\/p>\n
Drivers holding their cell phones up to their ears to chat while driving. Especially in luxury cars. Do you want me to believe your BMW or Volvo didn\u0092t come with a hands free feature? Go buy a headset thingie. You may be able to have the conversation and pay attention to what you\u0092re doing, but you can\u0092t drive well with one arm. Period.<\/p>\n
The array of polish colors from which I must choose at the nail salon. I\u0092m sorry, it\u0092s just overwhelming. And the woman two chairs over always appears to have a better color than the one I chose.<\/p>\n
The way Kaitlyn\u0092s school bus driver keeps her own schedule. She\u0092s late in the morning and late in the afternoon. But never by the same amount of time twice.<\/p>\n
The chime on my washer and dryer. \u00a0Even set to LOUD you have to have superhuman hearing to notice it. \u00a0It’s like the people who designed it assumed I’d just sit in my laundry room the entire time I’m doing laundry. \u00a0Newsflash: I don’t.<\/p>\n
My inability to remember to water plants. Seriously. Why is this so hard?<\/p>\n
Days when I can\u0092t think of anything to write about. Am I that boring?<\/p>\n
Finding a new doctor\/dentist\/hair stylist. <\/p>\n
