Pet Peeves

SHOW NOTES: •People who walk into a breakfast restaurant carrying Starbuck's coffee. •Those too lazy to use directional signals. •The demand for "spiced rocks." •Deleting the tax before calculating the tip. •The clumsy line cutters. •Internet ads with phony products capitalizing on illnesses. •Waiting weeks for appointments because the service provider books solidly without accounting for errors and emergencies. •Politicians who send texts recounting their being war hero's, lifeguards, eagle scouts, and vowing to fight Trump (how about improving the schools and lowering prices instead). •People screaming outside of voting cities. •The belief that "soak the rich" will help cut costs and more than pouring ice over your head will help reduce diseases. •Changing all the damn clocks twice a year because of farm issues in the 1940s. •All the ecological waste from pages of legal warnings in bills, notices, agreements, bank statements and so on because that's how lawyers make money and that's why CYA has become as common as respiration. •People linking with me to solicit me on LinkedIn. •The spammers who expect people to do financial business or even virtual assistant business with strangers, often in another country. •Sorry, but I hate it when the automated phone message is "press 1 for English." •Politicians who send a newsletter a week before the election, as if they're keeping you informed when you haven't heard a damn thing from them at any other time. (Politicians in office making money on stock trading ought to be impeached and criminally charged.) •People who keep submitting letters to newspapers espousing their partisan position without letup or surcease. I'd rather be listening to Mr. Ed, rather than his other end.
