We had a person who was late in sending me their Pet Peeves, but since he gave so many I decided to go ahead and post them. Just like the others, I'm going to give a little comment at the end of each Pet Peeve.
Here they are:
1. I cannot stand sick, and or, dirty, people handling my food. (Yes, if you're sick you should probably just handle your own food)
2. I can not stand being around people that do not shower, use deodorant, wash their clothes or hands after touching something hazardous or dirty. (That IS a health hazard...So, we politely ask, if you have touch something gross, wash up please?)
3. This is a weird one, I can not stand, and get grossed out, when people talk about going to the bathroom... If anyone talks about it, I prefer they say they need to go to the Bathroom or the Restroom. If people say, I got to Potty, or use literally any other word, or go into detail of any kind about going to the bathroom I will get sick. What is weirder is if I for instance have a crush on a chick and she says, she has to go Potty, all my feelings for her, for lack of a better phrase, go down the drain, it grosses me out that much. But that is just when its just a crush, nothing serious. (That's pretty weird...I would say something else, but, even I would get grossed out.)
4. Christians that look down on other denominations. (Yeah, this is a really touchy subject, so I'm going to be careful with what I say. If you don't agree with someone's religion, try to keep it to yourself. That's what they believe. It's not your place to judge them.)
5. People that will not watch a movie just because it has something cliche in it.(Every movie has something cliche in it. This sounds like an excuse.)
6. People that can justify acts of evil, except possible Vigilantism...(Ah..Our secret "heroes". Please leave the crime fighting up to the police. OR work with them, it would make things for you so much easier.)
7. People that can justify attacks of any kind against someone that has done something right, like helping the Homeless, Protecting the American Flag, so on and so forth. (Were you in a situation like this? I've never heard of anyone getting away with that.)
8. People who don't take relationships seriously and end up leaving you for the guy she's engaged to. (This sounds like an interesting situation...)
9. Evil People getting away with crimes legally. (Like cops bursting into your house with a search warrant! They have the right to take anything or anyone they want!)
10. People that doubt other people's, skills, knowledge, history (life). I know some people can say some crazy things that they said they did or have or know, like me I have been through a lot a lot of Crazy, and real bad and Good things, but It can be True!!! (I don't doubt it.)
Thank you, Jack, for your Peeves. I'm sure people will enjoy reading this. (:

Monkey's Observe
Have you ever heard the phrase "Don't blame me, I'm just a kid!"? Of course you have! WE ALL HAVE! This is the excuse children use (or we give them) when they don't know exactly what they're doing. What they also don't understand is the consequences that come with their actions. But...
In today's day and age, children have more knowledge of things than we think.. They've absorbed matters we didn't know about 'til were at least 11 to 13. Who do we blame for their extensive knowledge?
We could blame the parents, but even parents get surprised by their children and wonder where they learn some of the things they do and say. We could accuse our schools, but they call the parents every time their child behaves inappropriately. What about the mentality of the child? If we incriminate the kid's mind, we don't have to blame anyone. Do we blame media such as television or the Internet? Aren't the parents suppose to monitor that stuff? Where would the child have learned to perform or communicate in such a manner? How would he/she have known to act this way? These questions depend on what the child observes in the start of their lives.
Now, I'm not going to go into my childhood. Instead I'm going to explain some things that I've observed myself.
When I was at the store one day, I saw a woman carrying her son with an angry expression on her face, she said,"Don't you ever say that again!" and the child replied, crying,"But, you say it all the time!!" and continued to bawl.
I mentioned that because, children are always doing and saying things that make us aware of ourselves. Around kids, we have to actually think before we do or speak, meaning we need to be aware of ourselves before they become aware of us.
There's also a saying that goes, 'monkey see, monkey do'. What we fail to realize, sometimes, is that the said 'monkey' observes, thus 'monkey makes a fool of you'. Children may see what we do, but they also observe and analyze our behavior without notice. Whether we realize it or not, we can control how children act. We just need to control how we act, first.

Laziness
Remember when you were a little kid and your mom told you to clean your room, but instead you shoved every bit of the mess into the closet? If you've never done that, you were either the perfect child, or your mom cleaned your room for you. If you have, well, we have something to talk about. It's called, 'laziness'.
I'm not going to say I'm a lazy person, though...I probably am. I'm the kind of person that doesn't like to do unpleasant things (Aren't we all?). If I want to read a book and my mom wants me to clean my room, I hurriedly, throw everything on my floor in the laundry and get back to my book. That's just how things go.
Now, I'm not a lazy worker. If I'm working my motivation is my environment, though some would think it was the pay check. Nope. If my mom offered me money to clean the entire house, I would insist she help me (Only because I know she'd do a lot more than I would).
Lazy people lack motivation. Sure you could give them a reason to do something, but, does it motivate them? No. It only stresses them out. You might think stress would provoke them to get active, but you're wrong. Stress only makes things less pleasant, and as I said before, no one likes to do unpleasant things.
Regular people will do those things regardless, but lazy people will find more excuses not to do them, or will do them less than half-hearted-ly.
I'm not an extremely lazy person. If something has to be done specifically by me, or no one else will do it, and I know it has to be done, I will do it. That is my motivation.

'Life'
I know what you're thinking...(Okay, I really don't.)
Ha! Thought I would put some sort of general thought in your head, didn't you! No, the truth is no one can read minds, especially through the internet.
Sorry off topic.
Life is a very unexpected thing. You never really know it's there until it runs up and smacks you in the face.
You may even think life is perfect. You may think nothing could go wrong. Things get routine after a while and you're sort of happy about it. That's the point where 'Life' gets bored, turns around and gives you a reality check. It tells you that things have actually been wrong for a while, but you were to caught up in the routine Life gave you, that you didn't even notice.
Don't get me wrong, when Life gets bored it might also throw you a bone.
You might already realize how much your Life sucks, it starts to feel bad and it may give you a raise at your job or something awesome like that.
Everyone's Life is different, which means each life acts differently than the others around it. We just need to learn how to control our Lives and not let our Lives control us.
Just a deep thought of the day.
Don't forget to comment and react. (:

Pet Peeves
From tapping fingers to not using coasters, people have all sorts of pet peeves. Thank you to the 19 of you who responded to my challenge of care, and to those who didn't...I know who some of you are. (Are you in trouble?) Nope. I just know who you are.
Anyway, I'll get right to the point. I'll list off what pet peeves were given to me in order from which they were received. After each one I'll give my input.
Here's the list:
1. People that interrupt you when your telling a story and then they continue to tell you their story then they ask you in an uninterested tone to continue on with your story when they are finished talking. (Yes...that is quite annoying. Except I was probably on the other end of the conversation.)
2. People who own a dog and have no children and call themselves mommy/daddy. (Guilty.)
3. Not washing hands after using the bathroom. (I completely agree! I have to wash my hands after using the bathroom...why can't you?)
4. The noise people make when they rub their fingers on balloons. (That is a strange pet peeve...but I can understand it.)
5. Facebook Christians who post press 'like' if you love God and they don't portray that they love God anywhere else but on facebook. (I 'like' it and I totally agree.)
6. People who say,"I don't get it." to something really obvious. (I completely understand. It's not hard, actually it's pretty simple. It was my understanding that you were smarter than this, but now I know that you're pretty simple too.)
7. Dirty keyboards. (You must be using one right now...otherwise you'd be thinking of something else.)
8. When I see pee on a toilet seat. (Yes, please have the decency to clean up your repulsive mess.)
9. When people don't send thank you notes. (Are you thankful?? Are you really?? I didn't get a card!)
10. The way people walk in flip flops. (You might as well say you don't like flip flops, because there's only one way to walk in flip flops.)
11. When you're eating candy and someone asks if they can have a red one. (Well, if you're eating reese's pieces, it's easier to say no.)
12. When you can't tell if someone is male or female. (I find that it's best not to guess either..)
13. Movie sequels that are unnecessary. (Agreed! How many 'Bring It On' and 'Air Bud' movies are we going to have??)
14. People who don't use deodorant. (Yes, that is disgusting. But, what you do is buy some deodorant, act like it's an extra and give it to them...it might work.)
15. People who are always late. (By the way, I know who sent these to me...I'm not ALWAYS late...)
16. Mispronunciation of words. (I can relate. I know a couple of people...including myself.)
17. People who try to talk to you when you are going to the bathroom. (Does this include family? Because, if it doesn't...who do you hang out with??)
18. When it's raining and you turn your car off before you turn the wipers off, and they stop in the middle of the windshield, so you turn the car back on, the wipers off, and then the car off. (So...you get on your own nerves? HA! Heh..hm.)
And last but not least:
19. People that argue over things they know nothing about. (Just call them on it, and you win. And honestly, everyone argues about stuff they know nothing about.)
Thank you again to everyone who responded, and also to all my faithful readers. Don't forget to comment and react!

Thinking.
To think of something is an amazing thing. Have you ever realized that when you think of anything you can talk to yourself inside your head? God gave us such an amazing gift. The brain.
The brain is the only organ in the body that no one completely understands. We are still learning about the brain.
We are using our brain to learn about our brain! It's MADNESS!
Just my little thought of the day.
Anyway, to get onto something I care more about...
I have gotten no emails from anyone about the pet peeves thing. Come on guys! I know you care... it's just a little matter of how much you care. I will post my email again and maybe repeatedly until I get those emails, only because I know everyone has pet peeves and I know how much you care.
Again, you will remain anonymous.
Thanks--> jacinda_dawn@hotmail.com
