    People who judge my parenting skills by seeing one bad day happen. I'm kidding, kinda...but you gotta give people a break. Maybe the one time you see the kids running around is just a really bad day for mom. Maybe she just found out she has cancer and is off in another world, forgetting to make her kids mind...I dunno..just seems like unless you walk a mile in their shoes, and are with them with their kids, you can't make a judgement call. That mom probably needs a smile and some support...

    Littering the highways and local roads. We live in the most beautiful country in the world, and can't seem to keep it clean. Or is that old fashioned?

    That's not old fashioned at all! I don't litter and I keep my yard clean. I also love this wonderful country we live in!

    It shouldn't be old fashioned at all. I hate litterbugs. I just don't understand how people can just throw out their trash anywhere they please. Don't they hate the sight of litter on the roadways too?? On trips, I'll carry my garbage until I find a garbage can. It ain't that hard.

    LAZY PEOPLE, too lazy to go the extra 10 feet to put the grocery cart into the cart coral.

    Inconsiderate sales people, like the one at Penny's today when I asked where the Jewelry Boxes were. She pointed and said: Over there. Thanks a lot. If I walk the store long enough, I probably will end up "over there" wherever that is.

    Women holding or pushing in a cart a crying baby or child and not trying to get them to shut up. They continue shopping as if the child is sleeping. Parents - seems like Mothers - trying to be their childs friends or buddies and not being a parent. They don't get that their job is to raise their kids to be decent adults. People posting so fast and not spelling right or not making any sense, once in a while is reasonable but, some all the time. Lots more also.

    No. No one who is fat wonders why. We all know how we got that way.

    Which leads to a couple more pet peeves of mine:
    1. People who think that telling a fat person they're fat is going to be a revelation to them.
    2. People who seem to think fat people don't know how to
    follow a diet. We all know the basics of eating right. The

    problem is overcoming appetites that don't quit.
    I'm with you .
