Not sure if anyone posted this one before or not...but yesterday I came across something that I thought of the bubbler and said to myself...now I have to post this!
I went to our boys swim meet and drove up and down the parking lot that was closest to the door that I wanted to go into. Wouldn't you know that the parking lot was all full...that is except for the few spaces that was left but you couldn't park in them because the person in each slot next to the open space decided to go way over the yellow line and take up both spaces! Oh that is so annoying.
I could have sworn I posted this the other day and now I don't see it. Did it not post correctly, because I know I typed it out about people taking up 2 parking spots.

Oh don't you just hate that? lol I have done that many times.
Anyways I figured that someone added that at one point, but thought I would also add it since it just happened and I was still being annoyed by it. lol

I was at Kohls the other day and was thinking of some clothing pet peeves, besides those scratchy tags in clothing. What is with all the shirts that look like maternity shirts? Is that to hide the fat or make me look fatter? It's either that or those really tight shirts that show off every lump and bump. I want something in between.
I pass up on so many nice looking shirts that have to be so low cut. I don't need people staring at my chest. Not that I'm big in front, but I don't need to be popping out of my top. I like to keep certain things under cover in public.
When looking at dressy clothes, why do so many blouses have to be all cotton. Who in the world wants to iron. I avoid all cotton blouses for that reason. Then the other choice is all polyester and that can be hot to wear at times. Whatever happened to a cotton/poly blend. This makes it hard to find a decent blouse.
What's with all the pants being low rise. When will this fad die? I don't find it to be comfortable and it doesn't look good on most. Why would designers make low rise dress pants. Who's going to wear that to the office?
So many nice looking clothes have been passed up by me for these reasons. Designers need to get a clue.
Then there's women's shoes. In winter it's hard to find dressy shoes that are also warm and don't come with heels. My feet don't like heels. Why not offer more choices? These designers need to spend more time in cold areas to realize that we need warm and stylish things, not just stylish. Why can't more shoes come without heels period? My feet hurt if I wear heels.
What about winter coats? Why do they all seem so thin and useless? I like to be warm, but I still need to be able to move around. Some of these so-called winter coats are more of a fall/spring jacket they are so thin and not very warm. Again the clothing designers need to spend time in a cold area to see what works and what doesn't.
If there are holes, throw them out. Don't be like my husband and continue to wear them. That goes for undies where the elastic is shot or with holes. throw them out. Yes, that's a hubby pet peeve of mine. I don't see the point of keeping things like this for any reason.

Not in my husband's case. He thinks he's saving money that way. I told him that socks are cheap to buy at Walmart and if he can afford to drink all that beer, he can afford socks.
Socks are cheap at Walmart but sometimes if you watch the sales K-mart's buy one get one free or 50 percent off second sales can even be better. Especially around back to school sale time.
I not only really dislike holes but also when the kids socks get a dingy look or they stain the bottoms of them. Yuck. My one daughter has a habit of even walking outside sometimes with her socks and getting her socks nasty. I throw them out.

Another pet peeve I have is when I have to sort socks!
How many ways can white socks be? We have the ones that have the grey strip at the toe, the red stripe at the toe, the grey area at the toe, or the grey area at the toe and heel. Then we have the all white ones, the thicker all white, the thinner all white, we have the one that has a band in the middle to give support, the tall socks, the short socks, the no show socks, then there's the Joe Boxer ones with their name on it, or Nike with the black emblem thingy, the ones with the red band, the blue band, and the black band on the no show ones on top,....whew..that's just my son's socks to sort.
Then we have all my daughter's socks. there is the no show white thin, the no show white thicker, worst...we have the ones with the little dogs, or cats, or purple flowers, or.....even worse I think is the ones she wants that have just a color band on the top. How many colors are there? Orange, red, green, dark blue, light blue, medium blue, royal blue, pink, fuchsia, purple...the list goes on. Of course you can't put an orange with a blue, or a light with a dark blue, or ....
NEED I GO ON?? I think you all get the point.
Oh wait... did I mention the TOE SOCKS??? Who ever thought of TOE SOCKS!
Then there's the fuzzy socks, the wool socks, the knee high socks, the nylon socks....
I want to throw them ALL away and buy each person one type to their liking and stick to it. Forget that you have a blue outfit on so you need the right color flower/blue socks to match, or if it's a plaid feeling day and you want plaid socks...
Oh, but then there is the time you want no show, or some top and in the winter you do want the thicker, and ahhhhhhh....I will forever be with baskets of socks that will never find it's mate.
lol

I couldn't wear those. Stuff between my toes would drive me nuts and I already have wide feet and don't need to make my shoes tighter.
Another pet peeve: why do so many cool shoes only come in narrow widths. I have wide feet and have a hard time finding shoes that fit. I've had to look all over to find shoes sometimes and even go online and search. I hate shoe shopping, shopping for pants and bras. That's where designers fail so often. Who needs all those wild colored bras that no one even sees and who needs to see it through your white shirt? Why do so many of them have to be uncomfortable and why do they cost so darn much? I can buy a shirt for less. Since guys have no clue on what a bra costs, it's not unusual for a bra to cost almost $20. There are many that cost more. So guys don't be complaining about the price of underwear. You get off easy.
Back to socks, why is it so hard to find decent winter socks these days? Years ago I never had that problem. I like to be warm in winter and want knee-hi socks. Not those really thin trouser socks, but regular thick warm socks. Everything is always ankle length or halfway up the calf which is useless to me. Some of these clothing designers need to spend time in a harsh winter once.
Pet peeve: Man capris. Yes, those "shorts" that men wear that are almost ankle length. I call them man capris and now I got my husband saying it. Capris are for women.
All I can say is that I'm glad I'm not a guy with all the shorts to the knees. Summer is too hot for long shorts or knee knockers as we used to call them. Bring back the Richard Simmons shorts. Just kidding, but I think something mid thigh length would be better than too short or too long.
I like to be warm in winter and want knee-hi socks.
Last winter I went everywhere trying to find black socks that was higher than the ankle kind. In the winter with boats I don't want ankle socks that fall down into the boot. Or just want to wear black socks with my jeans and it's cold out, I don't want just ankle ones. I spoke to the sales lady at Walmart and she said she actually had some crew black socks coming in. A few weeks later I saw her and asked her about them and she said as soon as they came in they were all gone. Geez..does that give them an idea that people want BLACK socks and not just white?

Shoes. I went looking yet again yesterday for some good sandals that I can actually walk through a mall or around the block in that are cute but comfortable. Is it just me or have others noticed there are no comfortable sandals this year?
Yeah, I know there are plenty if you like the kind that has the thing that goes between the toes, (flip flop style) but I don't like toe socks, and I don't like flip flops. I can't walk a mile in it, I don't want them.

I have a real problem when people won't let me finish my sentence when I am talking. Or worse when you are in a middle of a conversation and the other person sees someone they know and they turn and start talking as if you no longer are there. Yikes!

Not sure why it bugs me but I dislike walking into a resturant usually for breakfast and see someone reading a newspaper with it all up in the air in front of their face. I'm sure that many people have no problem with that but for some reason I see that as rude even if they are sitting by themselves. Reading a book or magazine that is not covering up their face or half the table doesn't bother me tho.

It annoys me to see kids having their arms out an open window of a car while going down the street. I never let my kids do that ever.
Another one is seeing someone with their side window down with a large dog's head hanging out. I'm sure it's fun for the dog, but how is the owner totally positive that the dog isn't going to jump out when the car stops at a light? Or if the dog isn't going to try to jump out if he/she sees something in a car next to them going down the road? Or just plain the safety of this if the person gets in an accident? Just bugs me.

Oh while I'm at it...another thing that I have a problem with is seeing someone drive down the road with their dog/cat in their lap! I hate to drive next to someone like that. Can we say this is an accident looking for a place to happen??

Hate to get back on shoes...but what is with stores that connect their shoes together with an elastic band so you can't walk when trying them on? That is so disgusting.

It's hard to find comfort and style in a lot of shoes. Most don't even have any padding in the insole or if they do it goes flat right away. I can't stand on a pair of rocks.
I did buy a pair of what I call hiking shoe sandals this year and I really like them. They are comfy and you can walk a long ways. I often wear them while biking instead of hot tennis shoes. I wore them to the ocean instead of those wet shoes I bought last year that would just fill up with sand. Anybody want a pair of wet shoes? I'll probably never wear them unless I can find a place that has water, but not sand.
