Pet Peeves

Re: Pet Peeves

Seriously speaking, must be a satisfying job?

Would love to do a survey of the WOOFers' various occupations. I reckon we would have quite a wide cross-section of society on here.

Your job sounds great, Twodogs, must be very rewarding.

Very rewarding. I've long had a strong interest in autistic behaviour (I'm almost autistic about autism!). That little bit at the front of your brain that governs reactions has long fascinated me.

I consider myself very lucky. My employer the YMCA is a great organisation to work for, I really like the other staff, my boss is very supportive and I have a lot of respect for the families I work with.

It's great to get out of bed in the morning and look forward to going to work-I just never know what the day is going to bring.

If you are not sick, oyur daughter is.

She's got a bad case of "It's almost the last day of the school year, my brother is going on an excursion and Icant be arsed going to schoolitis!!!!" more than anything else...

Bad manners and lack of respect for others. As the great Basil Fawlty once said, "Good manners cost nothing"...

Plus the bar always smells like vomit.

I have a fair bit of respect for people who help those less fortunate. Takes a special type of person to do it, obviously need a fair bit of patience.
Looking back, its probably the path I should have taken as opposed to working in the corporate sector.

People who say 'Chrissy', not Christmas. Seriously, how hard is it??

I tend to say Christmas but use Chrissy when I'm writing to people. I wonder why?

Even worse is when people refer to it in speech as Xmas.

Re: Pet Peeves

Knowing that I'll have a hangover in the morning
Knowing that it doesn't go away quickly like when I was 30 yrs younger.
Knowing that I'll have to wait till 6pm on a week night to have a hair of the Dog.
Knowing that I'm not sure about what Dog bit me.

Re: Pet Peeves

It happened this morning:

People who when they walk their dogs they let them pee on other peoples property. For the second time in the past month I have found dog pee in the newspaper /catalogue part of our letterbox. Now I am the owner of a male dog who was rescued & desexed too late so he does like to 'mark his territory'. This is what trees & poles on nature strips are for. Come on people - think!!

Haha...yes, I wouldn't be concerned so much about the pee on your newspaper - more about the fact that some dog is climbing on the letterbox!

Re: Pet Peeves

Ok here goes again... people who let their (usually small) children run free in the shops/supermarket, and upon crashing into you, pull them back, say "Watch where you're going" to said child, and "Sorry" to you. Come on people, just don't let the kid run wild! Oh well, at least they apologise.

Yes, I have lots of time on my hands at the moment

Re: Pet Peeves

People who let children play at swimming pools and the beach without supervision.
I had a 8 year old at my pool who's parents had gone for a nap.

He he. The newspaper hole is fairly low to the ground.

I'm assuming it's canine, or a feline with a very good aim!!
