This morning I inexplicably found myself stewing over a mental short list of personal pet peeves. And since I don't really have anything else on my mind today -- save for maybe Spain's disgusting loss to the filthy french yesterday -- I give you People and Things I Wouldn't Miss, vol. 1:
People who hold their nose when they jump in the pool.
Slow walkers.
Fast walkers who are trying to get around me.
The couple at the table next to mine, not uttering a word to one another and occasionally staring intently at my meal.
A group of tourists wearing matching t-shirts (especially if it's a church group).
Capers.
Belts with turtles on them.
"Martini's" menus and "Complimentary" free passes.
People who give their pets adjectives for names (i.e., "Fluffy" or "Squeaky").
Excessive use of quotation marks.
Times Square.
That's it for now. More to come in the very near future.
