Pet peeves

The past few days I've had a couple of pet peeves that have really gotten to me.  For starters, when people are merging into a turning lane that is NOT at a stop light MERGE ALL THE WAY!  Don't merge 3/4 of the way causing me to have to slow down and/or swerve to get past you.  This is a hazard for the people in the lane next to me.  I would consider this the "lazy merger" or "the merger who doesn't care if they get side-swiped"

Pet peeve number two, public restrooms.  Let me be more specific.  It bothers me when I'm in a public restroom and people are lingering around chatting while I'm trying to do my business, specifically something that causes a little more noise.   I have a slight bit of anxiety about it, which one would think that I shouldn't since I lived in a college dorm.  In a dorm bathroom you hear people puking on any given day so any anxiety kind of disappears.  Don't linger around people.  Respect those who are in there and give them some privacy, despite being a public bathroom.

Pet peeve number three.  When I'm out with my daughter, I don't care for people asking how old she is.  What bugs me is after I tell them they respond back with "Oh...she's small for her age."  Really, you're commenting on my daughter's size while you appear to be single and/or over-weight for YOUR age?  You don't know me or my family.  And just because you work at a daycare does not make you an authority on what size an infant should be at certain ages.  My daughter is over average in all of her percentiles thank you very much.  And those are my pet peeves.....for now.
