Of course I'm leaving myself wide open for another pet peeve... people who quote others rather than thinking of something original. 🙂
recall a nimble memory, the comfort to quote them humility... least in my book.

Any other peeves? Hmm, I think I'm quite optimistic and there aren't many things that can drive me crazy. In the moment I can only think of Burger King and similar fast-food companies. Fast-food sucks, I can't fill my stomach with it for more than an hour. When I'm with friends, we go to McDonald's, I spend a lot of money and in the end, I'm hungry again.

in your life. Well, KB, would say you're in good shape and doing fine. Maybe I'll take this opportunity to express one of mine... Young men
in their teens, 20's and 30's who have never been taught (or on their own learned) proper behavior and good manners. Always swallow
hard in restaurants when I witness these guys ordering for themselves before ordering for their dates or allowing the gal to make known her
requests to the waiter first. Usually try to look the other way but the indelible picture that remains is that of a boorish pig at a feeding
trough. Driving home alone under a starlit sky, I sometimes wonder what these crude and rude young men must be like in bed and give
thanks that my beautiful daughter, Heidi, is happily married to a real man who instinctively displays deference, consideration and courtesy.

I really like this quote:
"Human stupidity gives us the concept of infinity."
I don't know who has said that (I heard it from a classmate, maybe it's his idea) but that sounds very true.
Originally posted by kbaumenPerhaps they have and this is the way they vent their anger. Perhaps they have not been shown by their parents a better way?
While reading other threads I just figured out another of my peeves. I hate kids beating animals, for example, kicking cats or throwing rocks at them. That's is very annoying. How would they like to have the crap kicked out of them?
