:heart: Question of the Day- Day 63!!!:heart:

What's your biggest pet peeve about a person?

**Me- I hate people that take advantage of you!! That drives me NUTS! Perfect example...I do hair so today I went to my bosses house to highlihgt, lowlight and cut her hair. I have been doing her hair for about a year now and when she first asked me I told her I charge $75. So today I go over and do her hair when I am finished she thinks it's too light (the highlights..too blonde?) so I put toner on them and tone them down to a more sublte neutral color. I washed her hair twice and blew dry it 3 times!! She pays me $70 and asks that I don't cash the check till Wednesday.. not to mention I drove to her house which is almost half an hour away!!! Some people.....:explode:

    I would ask for cash next time, and make sure she agrees to the color and what not before hand or charge her more, yeah she may be your boss, but in this situation she is still a paying customer and still has to pay up. You have to live too.

    Guess that was a two time experience, huh? First and last.

    People who bother me are those who don't carry their weight in a teamwork project.

    Cashing the check immediately might teach her a lesson about doing that next time ;)

    My pet peeve is people who think there is only one right way to do almost anything; their way.
    I have known people who firmly believed:
    There is only one right way to fold towels
    Its too confusing if the toilet roll is on the wrong way
    They are to only one who correctly shifts a manual transmission
    Everyone should believe exactly as they do regarding food, religion and politics; those who don't are idiots, not just wrong or different, Evil.

    There *is* only one right way to fold towels- :tongue: Joking-

    My mom was one of those- She used to refold towels after I "helped" with laundry because I didn't do it right...haha




    Liars, cheaters(& not only in relationships), thieves

    The basic stuff I guess....


    Oh & loud chewers- especially gum chewers :grumble:

    The sad reality is the check will probably bounce if you try to cash it earlier... then you're out the fee cuz you know she won't give it to you since she asked you to hold the check.

    I used to have a long list of pet peeves, but if I haven't learned anything else in this life, I have learned this... no matter how much people sometimes annoy me, I don't have to worry about them. I cannot change them, so why worry. I only have to worry about how I react to them, because that's the only thing I do have control over - me and my reactions. So instead of worrying about what they do that annoys me, I enjoy them and the things that make them unique in this world.

    I know... I'm strange!! :ohwell:

    My biggest pet peeve is when people litter, as if any given square foot of the world is their trash can. I have watched a guy, whose bicycle was leaning against the trashcan at a convenience store, open his food and throw the wrapper on the ground right where he was standing. I also recently saw a guy flick his cigarette butt on the ground while he was literally standing three feet away from one of those trashcans with the ashtray on top. Ugh. Who raises these people?

    What a beautiful post. . and very well said.

    If I had to pick a peeve I would say people who are dishonest.
