My Pet Peeve

[Prairie Dawn]

When you are sitting in your car and the person in the car next to you SLAMS their car door right into yours and walks away without a care!

A long line of trucks, driving at 5 miles under the limit.

[Prairie Dawn]

paper cuts

[ponytail]

grease spots on shirts

[Court]

When random police officers sit outside my window with their light flashing for no apparent reason.

[Prairie Dawn]

power outages in the winter!

[ponytail]

When you follow a recipe EXACTLY and turns out like crap....

[Prairie Dawn]

The crowds of people waiting to charge into a store at zero dark thirty on Black Friday.......

[ponytail]

Not worth it! I turn around and walk out of a store if the lines are too long.

Shedding dogs--honestly, I have to vacuum every day to get up those tufts of white fur--It's winter, come on!

Little Danny Snyder.  For the past 15 years Napoleon-on-the-Potomac (my apologies to Monsieur Bonaparte) has been the conductor of a slow-motion, never-ending train wreck known as the Washington Redskins.  Webster's should include his picture as an illustration of Einstein's definition of insanity.  More to come........

The DSM-V

[Merry Prankster]

Political correctness run amok.   Assuming the news reports are true, a six-year old boy has been suspended from school for "sexual harassment."  His alleged offense----kissing the hand of a six-year old girl.  Sheesh!  The boy supposedly has some history of "behavioral issues" but doesn't the school's reaction seem more than a bit over-the-top.  If they had had these rules when the Prankster was growing up he would have been doing 5 to 10 at Attica by the age of 8.  He can imagine the following conversation with a fellow con:

                      MP:  Hey lefty, what are you in for?
           
                 Lefty:   Ten armed robberies.  Alimony for three exes makes you do strange things.  Prankster, what                                                       
                             are you in for?

                     MP:  Not sure----they said I hugged one girl too many.

YIKES!

Yes, I know what you mean--a little boy I know got in trouble at school for pretty much the same thing--the little girl's mom chewed out and threatened sexual harassment to the parent. He was 5!

This makes me cringe.  When did it become a crime for kids to just be kids! Next thing you know they will want him to be registered as a sex offender.

Soooo  true to all these former posts.
It's like arresting a parent for swatting his child on the backside... for child abuse. And, this HAS been done.
