Apostrophes are your friends!

Why is it that so many people misuse the apostrophe? I am not the grammar police, nor do I claim to be...I'm generally not very anal about many things, but this drives me absolutely bananas.

For instance:

I do not want to go to "Yard Sale's."

I do enjoy yard sales, though.

I hate tomatoe's, but, I LOVE tomatoes.

Any more examples?

Also in the Bathroom...

I also HATE IT when people feel that potty time is phone time.

When I'm "taking care of business" in a public restroom, the last thing I want to hear is someone's private cell phone conversation. I'm also pretty sure the person on the other end of the phone really would rather not hear a random fart or the sound of a dookie being dropped.

It's rude. If you need to talk on a cell phone go the hell outside and talk. Potty time is potty time...not talkie time.

Hand Washing...or lack thereof.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when people blatantly avoid washing their hands after using the restroom.

I can't tell you how many times I've been in a public bathroom--where I am standing there washing my hands...only to see some lady walk out of a stall and stand RIGHT BY THE SINK to look at herself in the mirror...and then SHE WALKS OUT. Touching the door handle with her (more than likely) soiled hands. These disease-spreading people are why I carry hand sanitizer everywhere and why I avoid touching door handles bare-handed. (I usually grab a paper towel to open the door, hold the door open with my foot while trying to throw away the icky paper towel, and scootch out the door without touching anything.)


Why don't people wash their hands?!

What it is all about...

Basically this is where I vent about the things that seriously annoy the sh!t out of me.

Feel free to share your own pet peeves or personal stories of annoyance.
