Ranting and Reflecting: A Fun Exploration of Pet Peeves

Ever got stuck in traffic with the driver ahead stubbornly maintaining the same speed, and wondered if you're the only one irked by this? Or maybe you're the kind who gets a tad bit frustrated inside a one-floor elevator ride filled with unnecessary small talk? I've been there, and on this episode, I am spilling my personal list of pet peeves and annoyances, from the highway to the elevator. And yes, I confess, I can be that person who obsessively presses the elevator button hoping it would make a difference. Feel free to chime in with your personal pet peeves; let's have a fun, relatable, slightly rant-filled chat.

But there's more. How many of us realize that everyday life is riddled with situations that are surprisingly annoying? Picture this, you're in a grocery store, minding your business when someone decides to comment on your items or worse, blocks the aisle. We've all been there, right? We'll touch base on these frustrations, and share a laugh or two as we discuss how to handle such situations without losing our cool. Ready for an episode filled with laughs, rants, and maybe a wee bit of self-reflection? Buckle up!

But I'm back and I will provide the entertainment for you. Now I'll buckle down, pump out the epi's anyway.

Speaker 1: 0:36

So, like I was thinking about it, friend of mine asked me hey, what are my pet peeves? Like that's a that's a very common, yet weird question. Because it's like hey, what bothers you? I, I tried to be self-righteous like nothing bothers me and I, you know, I tried to hit him with like a dope, quote Something that I made up. I'm like, hey, I was being self-righteous. Basically, that said something about patience. Like patience Overcomes all. I Don't know, if you anchor yourself to the the waves of the world, nothing will Rock your ship. But so I don't know, I made something up. But you know what I do. I do have pet peeves. I do have things that annoy me. So I don't care, I'm spilling it out. That's what this episode is going to be about. My pet peeves, annoyances I don't know if that's a word agitators, I'm letting them out. So if you meet me, don't do these. Well, you kick that in my fan club like all four of my fans will give you the boot. Yeah, I did so, but I also, you know, I also want to have a little bit of fun with it. So I Released the Kraken I Like.

Speaker 1: 2:02

Let me know in the comments if you agree. Like you are, you have the ability to comment All my episodes Now, which is partly scary, but it is what it is. So let me know if you agree, disagree, or if you have some pet peeves of your own. You know you. Just we could put it out in the universe together. Just let it. Let the world know hey, these, these things get on my nerves. I don't care, I am who I am and it's out there.

Speaker 1: 2:33

So, anyways, things that are whack, that annoy me and Probably annoy you, to let me know if they annoy you too, because I'm right. So anyway, one work easily explainable. I'm not an artist, I don't. I don't, I'm not in tune or I'm In love with my work. So all I, you know all the people that are Love what you do. You don't work, and that could be true, but that's not the case with me, but anyway. So I'm a Jets fan, so everything and me, there's that, but the Patriots Obviously take the cake. Let me see what. What? What are my pet peas?

Speaker 1: 3:27

What gets them under traffic? Everybody, everybody, hates traffic, so that's not unique to me, but you know, it really gets on my nerves. Those drivers that maintain the same speed, like get out of here, get them out of here, that that really like those Consistent 63 mile per hour drivers that can maintain that speed for about three, four, five, six, seven exits, like how do you do that? You just keep the same speed for a couple of exits. And like drivers like me, I can't maneuver around you because the person in front of you is doing something behind you and you're just keeping that same speed, like go man, go catch the bus, something like that up like I Don't know how do you, how do you do that? Like those are the people you can't change with, you can't go behind them, you can't go in front of them because they're just like they keep the same speed. You know who I'm talking about. It's like by anyway, young people, self-explanatory, I don't understand them. See you later. So, like Traffic, you're going to work, you get to work.

Speaker 1: 4:46

Elevator small talk, but this elevator etiquette in general. Those people like who have to talk to me During a one-floor trip, nothing is going to happen. From floor one to floor two, yeah, I'm not gonna Like. I respect small talk. I understand you can learn stuff about people. I'm so go, yeah, with second third cousins, but nothing is gonna happen on a one-floor trip. One or two, nothing, nada, we're not gonna get there. Maybe from one to eight, I'll learn something about you, you'll learn something about me, not one to two. From one to two, just shut up like, get out of it, work. So, especially with elevators, people who work, work, everybody's working, don't talk about work.

Speaker 1: 5:39

But people who walk to the elevator before Folks that walk out of it like this happened to me the other day. I'm in the elevator about to get out on the floor, happy, and it's dude. Like the doors open, he walks in. It's like dude, you don't even like Know what's going on right now. It could be a bomb. Why are you just blindly walked in so you know? It's like if I get stuck on the elevator With the, the one floor talker because you committed to blitzkrieg and in, like I'm punching you in the face and I will proudly walk myself to HR Say, hey, man, yeah, I'm the culprit, but like Take a, take a second, two seconds, five seconds, assess, just wait, wait for people to walk off and then you walk in. But if you like, totally committed, and I'm just, I'm just bull guarding, okay, and like I Hate you.

Speaker 1: 6:43

So, speaking of elevators, I'm that, but like the, I'm the dude that like pushes the button a gazillion times. So people that tell me I'm outside waiting for the elevator, I'm pressing, pressing boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, getting my finger working. Oh, like people like Didn't make it come faster, like shut up, leave me alone. It does make it come fast, it does. It does like that. That's Elevator physics, it does.

Oh, people that like macaroni and cheese from the box, not saying any brands, but really you're eating your food from a box. Bye, goodbye.

Speaker 1: 11:38

People that don't like spam and Scrapple, like I love Spam and Scrapple and you have to respect it for its historical value. It's like I don't like that. It's like those are the same people that they don't necessarily eat healthy but they just think they don't like unhealthy stuff that they think is unhealthy. It's like oh man, stop being like physique, get out of here. That's for my little bro. He's a spam lover. I'm a spam lover. Hey man, let's keep the spam going. What else like, don't try on me, right.

Speaker 1: 12:18

Like taxes, like I don't like legal fees, registration fees, hoa fees, fees for the fees. I don't like stuff like that. Those are pet peeves too. I have a very long pet peeve list. That is crazy. That is soups, crazy. But anyway, so just let me know, let me know in the comments If you agree with my pet peeves I also don't like. I'll bet I kind of respect them.

Speaker 1: 13:03

Now, like I said, I'm a gardener. I grew a pretty decent sized garden in my backyard. I would say I don't like pests, but certain pests help, like I, like I love ladybugs and they help kind of mitigate unwanted pests that chew on your plants and crops and stuff like that. Like those pest, like squash bugs. Man, if I could round up every squash bug on a planet and just, I don't know, pull up bleach on them or just just grab their lead and waterbort them, I would do it. It's just like oh, you know what. You know what I don't like.

Speaker 1: 13:58

I was thinking about food. You know what happens to me a lot. So when I go grocery shopping, I normally go grocery shopping for specific meals. Like I will, hey, I want to bake whatever, bake chicken with roasted vegetables, et cetera, et cetera.

Speaker 1: 14:22

I hate when people this happens to me all the time I hate when people, like in my line, comment on my groceries. But they're right. A lot of the time it's like an old lady and she's like, hey, you're making a pot roast. Like I mean, do you have to? You want to discuss that with me? You want to discuss that with me. But that kind of goes in line with the small talk. But it's like you don't have to point out what you think I'm making just because you can recognize the ingredients. But that happens to me all the time, all the time, like, people comment on my groceries at checkout Like, oh, you're making a, is this a? You know a nacho supreme bowl which? Like, yeah, so you're telling me you can identify food right now. Like, get out of here. But you know, oh.

Speaker 1: 15:19

So, speaking of supermarkets, you know what also like is a pet peeve is when people kind of block lanes. I know everyone that has experienced this. Going into a lane. Someone is like standing in front of the rice. They're like standing right in front of it and you have to get the rice. That's like right by the knees and I just stand in here like looking at all of it and just hands down and like in a perfect position to block what you are reaching for Right. Tell me that has not happened to you. Tell me in the comments if that has not happened to you. If that has not happened to you, like I bet my whole, like I'll stop doing shows and all that If you say, hey, that has never happened to you before, that has happened to everyone on the planet.

Speaker 1: 16:08

People like you've gone down an aisle, you're trying to get some you know whatever beans, and a person is standing perfectly in front of the northern beans that you're trying to get and they're like standing there clueless, like they've never been in the bean aisle before. And they've been in the bean aisle because they are looking for their beans and their cart is on the other side and they're like their hands are perfectly to the side and they're like looking just like yo, man, you can move or I could stick my hand through you. Like, yeah, that has happened to you, but anyway, let me know. So I'm opening up the comments for comment. Let me know what your pet peeves are. Let me know if you agree with mine. It's fun, we're putting it out in the universe and that's all I got. I call it my time.
