“Three Pet Peeves (AKA: Why I Lose Faith in Humanity Sometimes)”
Here are my top three pet peeves — the ones that test my patience every damn week.
1. The cashier who refuses to look at you.
Yesterday at Target, the kid at the register had his phone propped on the counter.
He scanned my items while texting — not one glance at me, not even a “hey.”
Every two items, stop to text… scroll… text again.
Gives me the total without eye contact.
I pay, hand him money — still nothing.
Just “next.”
Bro, am I a ghost? Or are you married to your phone?
2. People who park in the middle of the street
This one drives me insane.
There’ll be a perfectly open parking space right next to them…
But no — they park in the middle like they’re Moses parting the Red Sea.
Emergency lights on, like that magically excuses being an inconsiderate asshole.
Once, a dude did this, blocking the street.
I honked; he got mad.
I told him, “Bro, there’s literally a spot RIGHT THERE. Why make life harder?”
Nothing. Just stupidity echoing in the air.
3. Bright phone screens in a dark movie theater
You paid $20 for a ticket just to sit there lighting up the whole theater with your phone?
Why would you come into a pitch-black room and decide,
“You know what? I’m gonna blind everyone with my bright-ass screen.”
You’re not at home in your living room.
You’re in public — with other humans trying to enjoy the movie.
Pet peeves usually come down to one thing: inconsiderate people.
If people just paid attention — even a little — the world would feel different.
