TuDiabetes - A Community for People Touched by Diabetes

our friend travis grubbs and i were discussing pet peeves and we thought i would be a great idea to start up a forum for it. i thought at first to just limit it to diabetes, but thought i would be even more fun to widen the spectrum. so from mild to wild. from something as easy as everyday peeves to even something as silly as what your dog did today. let's have some fun and lay em out there.

my first pet peeve is my family's love of using their forks to get butter out of the butter bowl. knowing that it drives me nuts.

now it's your turn....what's your pet peeve?

spoon in the peanut butter jar - a BUTTER KNIFE belongs there!

My mother coming over *she's diabetic herself* and checking my pump when I sleep then lecturing me in the morning about my glucose levels as well as the amount of insulin used.

people who text message and drive

people who talk on the phone while driving - *without using a headset*

Debb:

My pet peeves ... just to name a couple:

When someone uses the last of the paper in the printer/copier and walks away without refilling or telling someone.

When someone uses the printer/copier and has a mechanical problem then leaves it jammed or some other problem without telling anyone.

When someone screws up my ride to paratransit, leaves me siting for a couple of hours and then won't accept responsibility for it!!

My biggest pet peeve is when people wear high water pants. There is nothing worse than a well put together woman that has put much time, effort, and money into an outfit and ruins the entire thing by wearing pants that are too short. I realize that this does not hurt a single person but it just bugs me.

Love this, Leah---I am exactly in between Petite and Regular in my favorite comfy pants, so I have a couple pairs in each size and half the time I am forced to be a manifestation of your pet peeve! Or, I wear the regular and have to yank the waist up under my breasts!.....
