Pet Peeves #1

Hello everyone, 


I thought I'd start doing a regular segment on my blog - perhaps weekly or monthly of my pet peeves and little annoyances, things that have been irritating me and might irritate you a little bit too - basically I'm blogging away my pet peeves - voicing them silently over the blogosphere so to speak!
So without further ado, here are some of my pet peeves for this week...enjoy or sympathise as you may(!)

1. People who have palm trees in their gardens....this may seem like I'm just being picky but I live in England and though occasionally we do have a summer, most of the time the weather is indecisive, no matter what the season so having palm trees in your front garden doesn't really reflect the UK. Whenever I drive past and see a palm tree (whilst wiping my windscreen of rain might I add!) I get a teeny tiny bit annoyed inside.... and the little voice in my head screams 'we live in England not Florida!'


2. Terrible car parking....being a novice myself and new to driving around in my little car I haven't got hundreds of years of driving experience but boy oh boy do I know bad car parking when I see it! Here I am parking nicely within the lines (most of the time!) and then someone next to me hogs their space so much so that on more than one occasion I've had to resort to getting out the other side of the car and clambering over the gear stick to do so! Ladylike I know...!


3. Another driving themed pet peeve...here we go. Recently whilst filling up at the petrol station, at 'rush hour' I might add I was forced by the car behind(by a loud horn :( ) to go to a filling stationy bit my car reluctantly pulled up at (the wrong side)- I had to whip the pump around my car to fill up, and although the petrol pumps have extra long 'hoses' for these situations I still felt annoyed and felt as if I was whipping my poor little car! (Please tell me someone else feels the same!)


4. Melodrama - All of us go through a phase when we get our brat masks on and take the centre stage (that time of the month etc.) though it is slightly different with people who want to get all the attention all the time. It just really pushes my buttons and I get my climbing boots on at the ready as it simply drives me up the wall. Over-dramatic people need to re-evaluate their lives and themselves, pleaseee!


Perhaps I should've done 5 shortish pet peeves but 4 will do for now...I have plenty more!

Share with me what your pet peeves are for the week/month/year!

Till next time, 

Georgie xoxo
