Pet Peeves
Pet Peeves we all have them. And if you are anything like me, you have a list about a mile long of pet peeves. Well today I am going to list out five. Just five. And I am linking up with The Real Housewives of Oklahoma. I have just recently found out about them through another fabulous blogger, Mimi at Living in France. If you haven't checked out either of these blogs, now is the time. Well after you read my post...then you can go and visit them. ;)
Now for five of my pet peeves....
1. The fact 95% of the general public does not know how to take turns at a 4 way stop. I hate it so much that I wrote a post about it. And it really irks me when people speed through or barely roll the stop that is by the SCHOOL!
2. Mean girls. They suck. I forgot how brutal middle school can be until my daughter started it in 2008/09. Stupid mean girls with their mean girl moms. Oh you know the type. We must break the cycle. But that is another post for another day.
3. Drama. I can only take so much before I start shouting, "STOP THE WORLD! I WANNA GET OFF!" Family drama, teenage drama, the only drama I care to be a part of is that which can be viewed on the television.
4. People who use the express checkout when they have well over 10 items. I don't care if you have 4, 5, heck 6 items over. You came in to get two things, found four things you remembered you needed and picked up some more things that just sounded like a good idea. Fine. I don't care. But if you have 25 or 30 items it's just annoying.
5. Homework. I do not blame teachers...I say this because my daughter did. I explained to her that her teacher didn't choose what he taught, he was given a specific curriculum. So the pet peeve lies in with the district, county and state. It's too much night after night for these kids. And my temperament just isn't cut out for it. Why does it have to be so much? And these kids are learning stuff way younger than I did. My eldest is working on science that I learned in high school. Why? It drives me crazy.
And those are just five of my pet peeves. I have many MANY more. What are some of your pet peeves?

And mean girls and their moms suck at any age. Yup, it's worst at the middle school, but it still sucks all the time.
I'm with you on the 4 way stop. Although even I think I am in the wrong sometimes.
If you look at research you find that homework below 6th grade does NOTHING to help the kids.
My home would be much a much happier place if my kids had no homework.

My city has been taken over by roundabouts. They used to scare me but now I seek them out over 4-way stops.
Mean girls are no fun at any age!
Watching fictional drama is more amusing {even if it resembles your own}
and don't get me started on the HW!
You have a great list of peeves.
The homework thing drives me crazy and I used to teach. My daughter (7th grade) doesn't usually have more than 30 min. to an hour a night so it's not too bad this year.
Mean girls and their mean mommas. I hear ya there! Ugh!
We hope you'll be back Monday for another round of MckLinky Monday.
