Pet Peeves & Other Grumblings/What Peeve Do "You" Have Today???? (house, best)

[cat1116]

Not sure if it's directed more to the neighbor lady who put about 20 bags of trash out last week and collectors only took a few [leaving about 15 bags behind] - OR- the trash collectors who only took a few of those bags and not all of them

The bags have been sitting out for over a week now. Tomorrow is trash day. Wonder how many they'll take this time?

I hope they take all of them 'cuz it's a possible critter invasion if they don't

What are the trash laws in your area? Where I live, extra bags outside the cans would either be ignored or charged extra (can't remember which). If the neighbor asked others nicely, those with room left in their cans may just accommodate a bag or two. That's what a few of us in my neighborhood does.

My own peeve grumbling today:

Items in stores with no price tags on them! This drives me insane! I live by my own credo of "no price, no buy". I don't want to have to ASK what something costs. Occasionally a price tag will fall off something, but that doesn't explain the whole stock of an item without the prices.

On vacation recently I was at an outdoor French market, and I couldn't begin to remember hwo many times I picked up something just to place it back down because it wasn't priced. The positive side to this, is that I likely "saved" hundreds of dollars over the decades. But it still gets frustrating.

I may be finding out Thursday I'm at work when they come around but my dh could probably tell me. They've picked up trash bags that aren't in bins many times before, so I can't imagine that's an issue. I know if you have over-sized items, ie - home appliances, that you have to call a week [maybe two?] ahead of time so it can be properly accounted for. A good way to check and see that the customer is up-to-date on their payments. Maybe they're considering extra bags as over-sized and she didn't call ahead of time?

I finished a couple papers among other assignments at home today. It took about five hours, and my school day is about six to seven hours. Don't you just love it when your teachers pile you up with work a month before graduation?

The store was sold out of mini Snickers bars... That's cruel.

[ho hey!]

Yeah, I know how that feels. Four stinking 4-7 page papers are due this week, next week and during finals. Three presentations. -__-


One of my biggest pet-peeve: When people get mad for no stinking reason and gives you a b.tchy attitude. I try not to swear and avoid it but I'll be honest this time.

9pm and I'm just getting home. Bah humbug.
