Pet Peeves

I wanted to see if anyone shares my pet peeves. I'm making a list which I'll add to as annoyances come to mind.

• The stupid code we have to view and type in when leaving a comments on blogger/myspace/bank sign-ins. It usually looks like a word-it's not, and can have numbers or symbols. It appears wavy or skewed in some manor. I most always read it incorrectly and it takes me 5 tries to leave a comment as I fail to figure out the stupid code thingy.
• I am disgusted at how my cellphone gets covered in yucky face-oil. (yeah, i'll admit i'm greasy, what's it to ya?) It embarrasses me.
• I frequent a shopping center with minimal parking out front, but a huge parking lot underground. I hate parking underground, it just seems like it's more of an effort, but there is NEVER any parking in the outside lot; yet I find myself driving around like an idiot thinking I'll somehow get a lucky spot. Before I know it, I've spent double the amount of time it would have taken if I had just gone underground in the first place.
• It burns me up when i'm texting with T9 and my phone doesn't know what I'm trying to say. I then have to 'add' the word. By that time, I could have just called the person I was trying to text.
• I am constantly running out of soda water. I bought a soda siphon to solve the issue, but now I have to drink all of it at one time as it goes flat so quickly.
• I hate hand dryers; just give me a crappy piece of paper towel for crissakes.
• Sometimes gum gets really hard after I chew it for a while. But I keep chewing it as if it will magically get softer eventually making my jaw sore and tired.
• Normally, when I go to a restaurant it is with myself and one other person or sometimes we go out as couples, i.e. there are 4 of us. Often times I have found when ordering an appetizer, like say chicken satay or pot stickers, it will arrive at the table with 3 skewers of chicken or three pot stickers. What are we supposed to do with that odd number? Who's idea is that anyway?
• Movie theater fare: The selection is horrible, the candy boxes look big, yet the portions are toddler sized and everything is way, way over priced. And--why can't we order beer or wine at the regular movies?! I don't appreciate going to out to see a movie in one of those 'beer-movie-houses' that I could rent off of netflix just because I'd like to enjoy an adult beverage while being entertained by a feature film outside of the comforts of my living room.
