Name your top three pet peeves.
This about sums it up. From Putin acting like the great leader, to Netanyahu acting like the righter of wrongs, through to the people who believe rape, child abuse, violence, and nastiness on social media, is an acceptable way to behave, they all really baffle me.
I don’t get why they were born, why any violent person was born, why trolls think they have a right to speak to anyone any way they like. I know I’m not alone in this.
However….
“Always look on the bright side of life”
To quote the great Monty Python song from The Life of Brian.”
Other lighter hearted pet peeves:
- Sticky labels strong enough to hold up the Forth Bridge (a big bridge in Scotland), that wreck your fingernails trying to get rid of them. When you have diligently scraped them off a quarter of a millimetre at a time, the glue is still there.
- Shops selling size small clothes that swamp me, and I’m not even a small I’m a medium.
- Being told something is good for you, then finding out later that actually it isn’t. Or being told something is bad for you, and after years of not eating eggs you discovered there’s an explosion of high cholesterol in the UK because eggs actually lower it.
- A dog owner who has to tell me they don’t like cats. So?
- People who have to argue over whether one innocent species that doesn’t give a toss is better than the other one that doesn’t give a toss.
- Make up that’s supposed to make you look younger then sits in the wrinkles looking something like a neon sign. Hey guys, wrinkles here!
- Hairspray that has all the extra hold of a coating of milk despite all the promises and price tag.
- People who tell me dark chocolate is good for me, nothing that makes you wince is good for you. Gives you more wrinkles.
- Adverts on social media that you’re not allowed to say you don’t like. You can say it’s repetitive, but you’re not allowed to say it’s a flat out lie. There is no option for that.
- Seeing two dozen boring adverts on social media but not my friends.
- The people who misuse AI. I love AI, it’s very helpful, but naturally humans were going to exploit it to the nth degree, to infinity and beyond.
There is more but it will get boring, and being boring really is a pet peeve of mine!
Hopefully I avoid it most of the time.
Best love as always

P.S. People who make a fortune from making weapons that kill. For goodness sake couldn’t they find something better to create? Like something that removes sticky labels?
