Let me start from the begining, no there is too much.. let me sum up..

The past year was a whirlwind of (for lack of a better analogy) complete crap! People I loved were sick and suffering, work was non existent and to top it all off, I did not win the lotto! That last part was of course a joke the rest of it painfully true, unfortunately.

So we begin a new year with new possibilities. So far things have been not too bad. Mostly people around me are doing better. Job situation is improving as well.

Well then what do I talk about? I have some venting to do. So I will just tell you my top pet peeves - lately.

I can't stand people that do not clean up after themselves. When you make food put your cups, bowls, dishes, pots, pans in the dishwasher! If the dishwasher has clean dishes in it - hey here is a thought - EMPTY IT!  It drives me nuts how dirty and inconsiderate people can be and how they just assume I will be their maid and clean up after them - NOT doing THAT anymore!

People who do not take responsibility for their own actions. Wow what is people who just think the world is at fault and they do no wrong? They are usually the argumentative ones who will argue over anything and everything and never admit they are mistaken or in error. Rude and obnoxious are two words that come to mind. Just a bit of advice for you - the world owes you NOTHING, least of all me, stop taking and start doing some giving. What makes me really laugh is they can usually spot his quality in other people but not in themselves.

Immaturity. If you are over 18 - grow the hell up! Stop whining, stop acting like a child stop expecting people to bend over backwards for you while you take, take, take, - GROW UP! You are not a child you are an adult - ACT IT! I am so sick of today's whiney, no direction, egocentric, self involved, ridiculous youth. This is the world - take a good look around you. Open your damn eyes, and start behaving like a adult.

The Customer is always right. Remember that old rule? When did this stop being common practice? I am sick of service people being jerks. I have even said to a waitress once (after she argued with me about the menu they had posted outside the door, she even went to check, to find I was right) "What ever happened to the customer is always right?" she just looked at me. Much like my beagle looks at me when you try to have difficult conversations with him ... blink...blink....blink...

Well that's all at the moment that I can think of. I am sure I will have more venting later but those are today's biggies!   Thanks for reading :)

Thought of something else! Being taken for granted. This year I am not going to be a doormat. THIS year I will stop the give give give gravy train. It ends right now. I am sick of giving and giving and being totally taken for grated. People who respect you do not do that. Thankfully this isn't a major issue in my life but there is enough that it bothers and upsets and hurts me. So it ends - now.
