Men who won't lift the toilet seat and have poor aim.

1) Littering
2) Personal hygine
3) People that choose to share cell phone conversation with all in the room.
4) People that cant say thank you for any reason.
5) People that are willing to be pushed to the point of "break down" before realizing nobody will hand them victory until it is earned.
6) Thieves.
7) People against waterboarding...It is a sport honest!

I could go on but fearfull of winding up on somebody's list.

people who can't figure out the difference between affect and effect. I mean..I am German and I get it... (though I only have seen people who grew up speaking english making this mistake)

My wife and daughter unexpectedly coming home early from their trip down in Texas ... and I was planning to clean the house tomorrow.

People who chew gum noisily - and with their mouth open.

It's bad enough to see people with a cell phone stuck to their ear while driving with one hand (unless it has a cup of coffee in it as well).

But my wife is worse when it comes to calling me. We drove out to Lake Elsinore today to drop her off at a friend's parent's home. Tomorrow morning they are driving up to St. George, Utah for a week (her friend lives up there and she will fly back to Long Beach from Las Vegas next Wednesday).

Anyway, it took us a little over an hour to get to Lake Elsinore going East on the 91 Freeway then South on the I-15 Freeway to the house. We left North Long Beach at noon and got there about a quarter after one.

I visited for a few minutes but wanted to get home before the Freeway traffic got too heavy. I made only one 3 minute stop at the Lake Elsinore airport to take a look at 3 old DC-3 Airplanes there in their plain aluminum brush finish (and no camera with me - darn it).

I left their house at about 1:40 PM. Sure enough, about a half hour later at arouond 2:05 my wife calls me on the cell phone and asks, "Where are you? Are you home yet?"

I answered, "I'm westbound on the 91, coming up to the 55 and doing 70 miles and hour."

She thought I would be home in less than half the time it took us to get there?

GAWD I hate that Motorola Razer/Verizon "LEASH" she bought for me. I've got a Blue Tooth ear piece for it but didn't bring it along for such a short trip. Besides, I've forgotten how to set it up again anyway.

Now Dale, shame on you. I love men and you know it! Long as they do what I want when I want them to and then leave me alone until their company is deemed necessary. As you know, not one of them can make me happy, it's impossible.

My Pet Peeve: Men who are clingy, demanding, pushy, talk too much and won't buy me food.

I'll just add men who don't clean to the pet peeve list.

Young Lady,

I will have you know that my house can pass a white glove inspection. However, I've not clean the wood stove yet and I need to do laundry.
