Pet Peeves
You know....life is great...atlease that is the way I feel about it. But there are some things in this world that just plain piss me off. Here are a few of my pet peeves.....if you have some to share please feel free to post in my blog.
Spoiled rich kids who get everything handed to them on a silver platter and never have to work or earn anything but yet have everything and then look down on you or brag about it when you don't.
People who get paid too much for the job they do. I feel you have to earn your pay. Your wage should be a direct reflection of your talent and experience.
People who have a poor common sense. This one really gets me. Come on people things are really not that hard. Just thing about it and do a little dedutive reasoning and you can figure almost anything out. My favorite way to describe good/bad commons sense is with a glass of ice water. A person with poor common sense fils the glass with water then drops in the ice cubes overflowing the glass and making a mess.
The person with good common sense puts the ice in the glass first then fills the glass to full without spilling any water. Make sense?
People who do the little two finger wink relating to quotes as they speak. Come on...I have ears and I hear just fine...I am not deaf and need sign language to understand what you are saying.
People who waste my time really get me. I use good common sense throughout the day as I complete my tasks. When someone tell me to meet them at one o'claock then I am gonna be there a few minutes early....when they show up 30 minutes late that is 30 minutes of my day that is wasted that maybe I could have complaeted one more of my tasks.
Part two of this is commiting myself to doing a task and plan my day to complete this task byt when I get therte to do it someone has taken it upon themselves to do it for me.........well thank you for wasting my time...if you were gonna do itt anyway why did you ask me to do it or at least why did you not inform me that the task has been completed and I don't have to do it. I can move on to something else.
People who think they are better than me amd look down at me or anyone for that matter. I got news for you buddy......we are all created equal.....nobody is superior to me nor is anyone of a less calibre than me. I am just as capable of basiling you out odf a situation as you are of me...so get over this superior crap.
Penny pinchers are my next pet peeve. Some people are affraid to let go of a buck...come on.....live life......that is why we work and we work to have money so we can enjoy life. If you need something or want something then go buy it. You can't take it with you when you go so you may as well spend it and enjoy it.
Which brings me to my next pet peeve....people who borrow. Well it is ok to borrow but if you must then BRING IT BACK. I bought it because I proabably need it. Tkae the hint here this is why I own one so bring it back. Don';t expect me to come get it when I need it.
Being a carpenter for the past twelve year and a general all areounf fix it kinda guy.........I do these things because I am good at it. People who attempt to repair something themselves and then get themselves into a shit load of trouble and then call me to bail them out is just wrong. Why didn't you just call me in the first place. That is why Io do what I do and that is why I have a business. Stick to things you know.
Communittes don't exist without volunteers........I am a avid volunteer, and will help out anywhere I can. What I hate is when people aslk me top volunterr my business. Wake up..this is the way I make my living....why ask me to volunteer that. Ask me to volunteer at something I do not make my living at. Ask a carpenter to cook hamburgers at the town BBQ, Or ask the resuraunt owner to help build that new gazeebo for the town park. Get my point here.......
People who assume...this is a good one and is done by everyone........and everytime youassu2 Comments 324 weeks
