Pet Peeves

Only a total kvetch would promulgate his pet peeves…so…let’s get into it:

• Introducing oneself to a group with “For those who don’t know me…” if you’re not at least a C-list celebrity
• Mechanical pencils
• People with mediocre English skills who fancy themselves grammarians offering their edits
• Rules of the road violations
  • Bicyclists: blowing through intersections, riding on sidewalks
  • Pedestrians: walking on the left, able-bodied people ambling across crosswalks, making others wait
• Speed bumps – a NIMBY thing (at least in SF)
• Whistling
• WinZip®
