Friday's Top Ten
Questions about the top ten things that make me crazy:
10. Why do people drive slower than the speed limit without a reason?
9. Especially in the fast lane?
8. Why are postal clerks so slow?
7. Why don't some people care about using correct grammar - in writing or speech?
6. Why are my upper kitchen cabinets designed for someone seven feet tall?
5. Must there always be such Drammmaaaahhhh about every tiny thing from some people?
None of which are in my life at present, thank you very much!
4. Why is the empty parking spot you see ahead always occupied by a tiny red car pulled all the way in?
3. How can people function with clutter everywhere?
2. Why can't chocolate and wine have their own food group?
I'll take chocowine or winolate or whatever you want to call it.
And the question about the #1 thing that makes me crazy:
1. Why does the line I choose always move the slowest?
Despte this list that's intended to make you smile or nod over, I'm thankful to have all these minor irritations in my life. It means I'm still breathing :) and have many more things for which I'm extremely grateful.
What's irritating you today?

I'm guilty of clutter. It's called my filing system and works really well except when I can't find something.
And no clutter. It would make me insane.
Why is there always a person in front of me in line counting out large sums in pennies from his/her wallet?
That's all I can think of for now. :) Have a great weekend.
Along with your theme, when I am on the grocery store, I ask why don't people move with purpose? I don't mean to be rude, but when me or the Mrs. are there buying things, it is one of 10 "to-do" items and we need to get it finished.
Have a good week-end.
Yvonne.

Thoughts in Progress
Happy Friday!
Ref: why do people drive slower than the speed limit.
I take a country highway that runs 65mph. If I'm on my way home and have nothing pressing, I will sometimes drive 60 or even 55 to save gas. But then it's a 2 lane road so I'm not in anyone's way. If it was one lane, I'd do the speed limit. I hate being stuck behind a slow poke.
Happy weekend, Carol!
My answer for number six: I think the cabinet making people are in cahoots with the step stool making people!
BTW: How can it be that we all end up at the back of the slowest grocery line? Who in the world are those people in front of us, and did they suffer a slow line to get there?

Alex - Lasers! I want lasers!!
Stina - If I don't have my Kindle, I people watch. And read tabloid headlines if the line is at the grocery.
Em-Musing - Oooh, warp speed. Next time I go shopping I'm going with you and we'll try it :)
LR - Or coupons! Hate coupons!
Slamdunk - Exactly! I'm not out there for the fun and joy.
Yvonne - Thanks! You have a great weekend, too :)
Dezmond - I didn't know that. Thanks! Wonder why? I'll give it a try :) Oops...didn't mean to make a rhyme.
Linda G - We're not the only ones, or so it appears. Does that make us all special - LOL!
Have some rum. You'll feel better. And some chocolate.
Why do morning people expect the world to be out of bed by sunrise?
Delores - LOL! Are they all alike?
Luanne - And I'm really not a grumpy person. But sometimes....
Maria - As long as you're not blocking traffic, go for it!
Julie - We should all shop in the same store at the same time. Get things moving or totally stuck :)
Fun post :)
Clarissa - I ain't seen no bad grammar :)
VR - Karma must bite them in some other part of their lives, right?
Isis - Sisters from different mothers!
Elizabeth - Looks like a large club.
As to the postal service, they have to deal with the general public all day and tape. I bet it's the tape fumes.
Have a great weekend!
LD - Our commissary is like that, too.
J.L. - So glad you're having an irritant-free day :)
Bethany - You know I yawned when I read the word. And again when I typed it.
Cherie - I don't know the answer, but it happens here, too.
Michelle - I think you found some chocowine!!! Live-In Handyman is a morning person. He's like you describe :)
Wendy - Yes! Especially on the glass of picture frames. Grrrr!
Mary - And why does some tape stink so bad? It's like a fumigator on a roll. Yuk!
Golden Eagle - Exactly.
I find it frustrating when people cannot use correct grammar too....lol
Hannah - Me, too!
Jo-Anne - Oh, yeah. It's like that.
Shelley - Isn't it nice to be drama free every once in a while :)
Julie - LOL! Hate when that happens.
Melissa - Now if we had wine and chocolate in the slow line, maybe the wait wouldn't be so bad :)
I'm gonna do a little post about novels I'm looking forward to in 2013. If you like, you can send me a pic of your Solomon Cover and I'll include it. :) My email should be in my Blogger info.
Will send in a few minutes.
Why do they make kitchen cabinets so high? As a five foot person, I always have to have a stool or chair to climb!
Nas - I have a few inches on you, but it's a stool or yelling for a tall person most of the time.
Janet - A friend tells me it's not clutter but all the the things she loves. Maybe I just don't love as many things as others :)
Sorry I missed these yesterday, ladies :)
