Let me know what you think about this parody trailer…  I’d had to watch it three times to get all the lyrics.
ROTFLMFAO funny!!

The wife and I will be seeing this move this weekend…  Look funny and intriguing.

I wish I had 1/10th this guys passion for life!

Ok…  I’ll admit it.  My biggest vice is fast food.  Totally unhealthy, but I much prefer looking up at my menu rather than down.  (Think about it.  You’ll get it) So, how does this fit into my pet peeves series?  Let me tell you…

One of the best features of fast food is that it is FAST!  Any action that turns it into Slow Food is a target for me.  Fast food drive thru’s are pet peeve magnets.  Let’s start with the pre-menu.  This is the menu board designed for the car next in line to order.  While one waits for the speaker board to become available, decisions on the order can be made.  However, when the menu at the speaker board is available, why do people insist on stopping and staring at the pre-menu?  Really?  Why not pull up to the Order Here sign and do just that?

While were on this topic, why does it take some people so long to place an order?  Has the menu changed that much?  Don’t most establishments have the same basic items?  If it’s going to be that tough a decision, park your car and venture inside…

Finally, why do some of you have to place 4 separate orders for each of your co-workers?  Is it really that tough to place one order and figure out the finances? Yikes!

It really is quite simple.  Let’s keep fast food fast!!

Thank you for your help.

Parking lots are a major source of my pet peeves. My first pet peeve post was about Qwik Trip parking lots and the lazy bums that spoil them. Today, I move on to parking lots in general. Believe it or not, I have three PP’s when it comes to these asphalt jungles.

No. 1 – If you are in your climate controlled car on a scorching summer day, please let all pedestrians in parking lots have the right of way. They are exposed to the elements, including the super heated asphalt below, yet I see drivers not yield to pedestrians. What’s an extra couple seconds gonna hurt? Come on people, its courtesy and common decency!

No. 2 – If you are the pedestrian in a parking lot, and the driver is kind enough to yield to you, don’t dawdle! In fact, why not pick up the pace just a bit. I’m not talking a full fledged, Usain Bolt like dash. Just walk with a purpose and get out of the way. Once again, it’s just being courteous.

No. 3 – We have all had this happen. While coming down an aisle in a parking lot, you spy a person arriving back to their car. They notice you are waiting, yet after getting into their car, they inexplicably take 2 or 3 minutes to vacate the space! What! Really! This is simply rude. I can’t think of a single reason people do this! Maybe it’s the feeling of power they experience, knowing they control the destiny and time of another human being. I really can’t think of anything else! Come on people, let’s take care of each other!!!

If you’ve read this far, thanks. As I mentioned before, these mini therapy sessions help me through the day…
