unfortunately that method still requires the suffering of children... I just wish our culture worked on the prevention angle and gave the process enough value to insist there be ability, knowledge and reverence involved in the area of reproduction <<<sigh>>>>

Look at the hoops we have to jump through in order to have the state's permission to drive a car, but ablsolutely no qualms does the state have about turning over an innocent, helpless baby to the scum of the earth.

I have a major pet peeve today. We have a local marine only 20 years old who has been MIA in Iraq for just over a week. As if his parents didn't already have enough to worry about last night someone vandalized their car that was parked in front of their house. The windows were busted out and the tail lights and headlights were busted out. Probably done by some punks with no respect for anyone. Fortunately today a local car repair place came forward and offered to fix the car for free. That part made me very happy but the other just makes me mad.

I just got home and had to come here and tell you that I drove w/my blinker on for miles and didn't realize it was on, when I finally did, my first thought was 'I hope no one from TVCH saw me!' LOL

Twinkie, when an arrest is made in that case I'd be interested to know what the perp's motive was. Surely no one would do that if they knew the family's son was MIA. I'm really puzzled.

Sia, I doubt if they knew it. But why do kids(I am assuming they are kids) feel the need to do that to anyone?? What if it was a family going to a family member's funeral the next day? Punks never stop to think about what might be going on with their victims.

You're right, Twink. Juvenile delinquents (and older individuals who commit crimes) don't have any concern for their victims. I was just hoping that this wasn't someone's twisted idea of protesting against the war.

Stairs are my pet peeve today. I got in a fight with one last night. It won. I hate it when that happens!!

Ok, this is a weird pet peeve.

When you go to a bathroom - with separate stalls. (Especially in work) And there are 2 or 3 people having a gab fest in the ladies room. I mean come on, how about a little semi-privacy? People do not need other people having a chat when they are going to the bathroom. Is this weird to feel this way?

LOL, Ginger. My sister & I always talk when we go to the bathroom while shopping. If you think about it, people chatting while you "go" could be a good thing(masking of embarrassing noises coming from the body). But it's your pet peeve, and you can gripe if you wanna.

Here is a pet peeve of mine....brought to mind yesterday morning at our local library as I was doing some genealogy research at a crowded together (you practically touch your neighbor and there is no room for paper for taking notes) bank of computers and was surrounded by people talking to each other (not in whispers either) or on cell phones and cell phones ringing. (There used to be a sign on the library entrance asking them to be turned off...don't know if there still is as I didn't look) Don't think I will be going back to that library computer section anytime soon!

This bugs me too. When you are eating in a restaurant where you throw your own stuff away (like fast food or Quizno's or something) and people get up and leave all their trash on the table. I think it's rude. They provide receptacles there for a reason. And these people think they are so high and mighty that they can't throw THEIR own food away-they leave it for someone else. Rude rude rude.

I sure am glad that us here at work have 3 mens bathrooms and 3 womens bathrooms all private single stalls all in different parts of our office so it is very private for us

I know my DH has a pet peeve
He doesn't like that I read the paper in the bathroom and then just leave it on the floor LOL
Not sure why that bothers him !

My newest pet peeve....call waiting! I called my sis this morning and was talking to bil when I heard the dreaded click. Was asked to hang on for a second....and waited and waited and waited. After five minutes (giving him the benefit of the doubt, it could have been a work call) I hang up the phone, check the time, and waited to see how long it would take him to call. After 45 minutes, I called him back. I said, "you forgot me, huh?" and he had the freaking nerve to laugh!!!!!!! Hate, hate, hate call waiting! Ack!!!

Wargod, I know what ya mean. I have call waiting and I follow a strict policy when using it.

Thank goodness, I have never got the call waiting call that moved me to get the call waiting service in the first place.
My first courtesy is to the original caller and I never leave them hanging more than a few seconds and always apologize for the interupption.

Something I always forget... If you have call waiting, and you don't want to be interrupted during a call, you can dial *70 (at least in my area/service) first and block it for that call.


My Peeve for the day is teenagers home on spring break that you can tell 4 times to do something and they "forget", and then they accuse you of nagging. (Actually this is all the time, but it's worse when I have to deal with it during the day instead of just the late afternoon and evening..LOL)

Trade you, MGA. Kids have been fighting here all morning...too much together time. I finally had to send them to their own rooms to get some piece and quiet, LOL. Once I finish my housework (tough to do since I'm sitting here, LOL) they'll get to go play and ride their bikes outside.

I think the reason the call waiting thing annoys me is that if someone is lucky enough to get ahold of me, I give them my full attention unless I'm in the middle of something and I'll ask if I can call them back and do!

I think it's fun when I call my sister long distance, only to have her put me on hold cause her friend (who lives down the block) is calling! She later had the nerve to yell at me cause she was trying to call when I was on the phone with my other sister. She said I should have hung up and taken her call!

Call waiting is a pain, and my mom accidently signed up for it. I can say it did serve one useful moment, and that was when my uncle passed away. My cousin tried calling us, we got the call waiting beep, and I checked the number after I hung up from the call we had, and it was my aunt's number. We called her, and my cousin answered and gave us the sad news. They had so many calls to make that day, and were taking care of my aunt. It was likely a relief to them that they didn't have to try and call us back later!

This just happened today...and the funny part is as it was taking place I was thinking "I can't wait to post it on here"....quess it kept me from getting too pissed off!! I walked into my office and another employee was sitting at my desk, on my phone...not too bad so far. She then hangs up the phone and CONTINUES to sit at my desk while I'm left standing there wondering when in the heck she is going to move. I decided next time she can just do my job allllll day too!!

Bobbie, that reminds me of a major pet peeve of mine! When they sit at your desk and go through your paperwork! Aarrrgggh, I could just scream! I hate snoopers. I tempted to make up a bill for a sex change operation, just to make them ****.
