Weekend contest!
Friday, June 13, 2008 at 2:21PM
It's a beautiful weekend here in Washington, DC. The birds are chirping, the sun is shining, there are only 59,000 cars on the Beltway, and school's out for the summer.
To celebrate, we're giving away a skein of Brennan on our new Kells Sport Merino. This is a soft, machine washable (on gentle, please!) yarn with a lovely drape. Brennan is a medium brown with a golden undertone.
A-HA! Here's a picture:
We'll send this to you, no strings attached. Leave a comment answering the question below, and we'll randomly draw an entry on Sunday morning.
Here's the question: What are some of your pet peeves? Good luck. :D

Love your yarn!
Pet Peeve: People who can't take the time to throw something away or put it in the recycle bin....they leave it for someone else to do.
Pet peeve: going out to dinner, and watching a couple refuse to take their sweet baby out of the carseat the ENTIRE time (like 2 hours.) Dudes, I would never disturb a sleeping infant, but when they are awake - they deserve some freakin human contact. Grrrr...
Oh, and people who waste food - especially certain little boys who ask for seconds and eat one bite....
Whoa - Now I am stressed, must look at your lovely yarn to de-annoy myself :-)
Some of my pet peeves are kids getting into my yarn, yarn not looking as good worked up as I thought it should, kids leaving milk on the counter, drivers who shouldn't be on the road, the list goes on and on. You can see where my priorities are though huh? LOL
when people go to the bathroom and they don't wash their hands. since I'm a lady I use the ladies room so I just try to forget what goes on in the men's....but what goes on in the ladies is bad enough. 4 seconds under the water?=not washing your hands. 4 seconds under the water, squirt of soap, promptly putting your hands back under the water?=not washing your hands. rinse them off well, soap for at least 20 seconds, rinse again.
I know I ama germaphobe but seriously...wash your dang hands.
Pet peeves include
-slaming doors in people faces, you don't have to hold it, but at least hand it to me!
-Chewing on hair, I see little girls and adults do this- yuck.
-My husband putting an empty container back in the fridge or not telling me when he eats the last of something.
-People that smoke right in front of doors- makes me sick to smell it.
That is it for now! (I have a lot more, lol)
Pet Peeves
-People not stopping at stop signs
-going into LYS and not feeling welcome
-People walking into a store and stopping right in front of the door so you can't get around them.
I'm a pet-peevey kind of person, according to my new husband.
A few?
People who say "that's a-whole-nother-thing"
What is that about?
Students who text under the desk and assume that I don't know that they're texting (how do they text with their left hand under the desk, take notes with their right hand ON the desk, and listen to me attentively, all at the same time???)
Oh, and my new hubby leaving just ONE ice cube in the tray. I've started to passive aggressively retaliate by leaving one ice cube in the tray (there, see how YOU like it), but it backfires on me. He just shrugs and drinks his iced tea without the ice instead. ARGH!
=)
I have been noticing bad drivers: it's those who won't signal that they are turning, for example, or go through a just-red light [common in Montreal].
There are a few things that just drive me nuts, but the top 2 are:
**ANYTHING under the bed! Don't EVER put ANYTHING under my beds.
**Dishes (clean or dirty) in the sink.
These 2 will set me off on a rampage everytime.
One of my pet peeves is when my hubby spends all morning looking for coupons to the places we might shop during the day, and then finding what I'm looking for at a store where we didn't print out a coupon, to which my husband will say "but we can't get that here..we don't have a coupon". grrr
