Pet Peeves.

Every so often I feel the strong desire to voice my pet peeves. It feels good to get them off my chest.

these are in no particular order.

#1 Parents who let their kids play in the road. Seriously- is it that hard to teach them not to? No- it's not too hard. Just because I don't have 65 billion kids doesn't mean i don't know what it means to teach kids. it's called discipline, try it.

#2 Parents who let their kids play in the road, and then 10 minutes later, speed by in their huge diesel truck. yes, this does happen. I swear someone is going to die on my street.

#3 People who seriously think they are the shiz. If you think you are the shiz, then chances are, you're not. Because people who truly are the shiz, don't even know it.

#4 The fact that photography is now a fad, not an art. I will not embellish on this.

#5 People who lie and cheat. No matter what it is, DON'T lie & cheat.

#6 People who buy big huge expensive luxuries, then somehow weasel their way into low income housing. How do they sleep at night?

#7 People who are cheap and try to talk my prices down. That's tacky and rude.

#8 Really fertile people. stop having babies, it's not fair.

#9 X-box & science fiction. combine the 2 and there will be vomit.

#10 Two faced people who change opinions depending on who they're with. could anything be more obnoxious?

#11 Lazy people & show offs.

#12 Know- it -alls. yuck. Especially when I know more, which doesn't happen often, but with one particular subject: photography, I DO know more. Trust me and quit trying to show off.

#13 People who can't give a compliment because they are extremely jealous & people who won't say thank you when you give them a compliment.

#14 Extremists. Especially with politics. for real?

#15 Guys who play video games like it's their real life. can we say loser?

#16 Obnoxiously happy Morning people & Bullies.

am i feeling mean tonight? maybe i shouldn't hit the "publish" button just yet.

Here are some things I LIKE to even it out a bit. And I WILL name 16.

#1 Honest people. Even if that means admitting they are wrong at times. that's integrity,and it's so admirable.

#2 Nice people who say please and thank you, who open doors & do things for you not expecting to get anything back.

#3 Cats. especially fat cats.

#4 People that are understanding and non-judgemental. I do so enjoy chatting with these people.

#5. My husband

#6 People who don't copy anyone & aren't afraid to be themselves.

#7 fun people who can let go sometimes.

#8 optimistic people. i envy them.

#9 People who genuinely care.

#10. Jaxon

#11 People who ask me to take their pictures and are extremely peachy and pleasant to work with.

#12 Knowledgable people who will share their knowledge, for free.

#13 People who give their opinion , but only when asked (haha, i could take a lesson in that!)

#14 Junior mints, and all things chocolate

#15 Cool people who make you feel at ease.

#16 People who always have the right answer but aren't cocky and shoving it down your throat.

#17 when a grown adult can admit they are wrong. that's inspirational, and we can all learn from that.

#18 People who aren't so opinionated and let dumb little things get to them.... LIKE ME!




HA! ok , so i really don't hate life. but i believe we are all entitled to have a day like this once or twice or 15 times a year.

i feel much better now.

doesn't it feel good to let it out sometimes! although i don't agree with everything you posted that's what makes them your pet peeves and not mine! i always feel there are two sides to every story so while we only see the one side, something completely different may be happening on the other. you know what i mean? but boy is it hard to see both sides! ugh. :) i totally understand about the photography being a fad now days. i posted a facebook status awhile ago that said "my name is annaleese and i am NOT a photographer" and i have been very reluctant to even get into it. even though my grandma is one of the most well known photographers in st. george and i grew up behind and in front of a lens so its been a part of me for forever, i was so skeptical to end up just like everyone else. the good thing is though, the fad and the art can be distinguished from each other by talent and hard work. luckily you have both! i think you're amazing. :)
we should all be allowed a vent session every once in awhile!!
