TOTALLY GEEKED!

I am a planner to an extent. And I especially hate when we've planned to have a lazy day and we get the texts or drop ins.
Leave us alone !

I want to add anti vaxers to my list. Rrrgggghhhh

That's really maddening too.

Soup slurpers. Enough said.

 You would freak out in Japan.

Blowing, or otherwise messing with, your nose at the table.

I can't stand it.

Especially the blowing of the nose at the table.

I will say something every time.

I have said something every time.

I just can not deal with it.

Punkin eats ice constantly. It actually helps her teeth.

You really shouldn't chew ice! You can crack a tooth right in half! Ouch!

This sticks out from our recent trip to the zoo, people who stand in the middle of a walkway. Usually staring off into space or chatting with a friend. Get out of the freaking way!!

ARGH!!! Yes!  People in airports are the worst.  They just stand in the middle of the walkway, looking at their phones.   

People that try cleaning up after you have them for dinner when you have expressly told them to stop. On the surface it would seem silly to be annoyed but this chick in particular puts things away where she wants them and has a control issue. If I say just leave it in the sink I mean it. Get out of my kitchen!!

Well normally that would be great but we can never find anything after she's been there. As a matter of fact she's going to have a butt hurt if she ever finds out we are hiring someone professional to do a deep cleaning once a month. She cleaned the house a couple times because she needs the extra money. We paid her a good amount too. DH was furious because he couldn't find anything. She moved and hid stuff in closets that didn't need to be touched. Even stuff and tools in the garage. He's still miffed in fact.
But a professional will clean everything spotless, not take several days and be hanging out on our porch when we come home, and put anything they move back where it was!  she and her bf are neighbors and good friends but she has control issues for sure

Aw Cheerios I bet there are. I bet the local American cancer society could hook you up. I would clean if I lived near you!

speaking of which... I need to see if there is a cleaning service in the area that gives discounts to cancer patients. I just dont have the gumption to clean like I used to and it is starting to pile up.

Cheerios, I found an awesome independent house cleaner on Craigslist.  She even emailed me her drivers license and came with 4 excellent references - I could not be happier.  Granted, my townhouse is tiny (1050 sqft), but she only charges $50; that includes mopping all floors and a thorough cleaning of both baths (including scrubbing the showers and of course toilets). I have her come every other week and it takes her less than 4 hours.

Thank you for the info girls! I will have to do some homework!

Oh and DG, that is TOTALLY a pet peeve of mine! Why do "professionals" not include their signature block? It certainly says something about you when you include it, just as much as if you DONT include one. What exactly are you hiding?!!!

People who don't use email signatures (in business emails). I just spent 15 minutes looking through old emails to find this guy's phone number because he just signs his emails "Paul". Such a waste of time. Put your signature block on all emails!

 Yes.  This.  And then they call and leave a message and don't leave their number.  Grrrrr.

 And they don't tell you WHY they are calling. I hate that. I end up with a lot of random phone calls, I'm the go to if the receptionist doesn't know what they want and my number is out there from being customer service. So I get voicemails that say "this is Bob, call me at .......". And that's it. I then have to call them back to just transfer them to someone else. If you say what you're calling for, I could give the right person the message.
