The Question:
What is your biggest pet peeve?
The Answer:
“The biggest? I have too many small ones to pick the biggest,
but I'll give it a shot. I hate it when my mom tries to parent my
child while I'm standing right there, dealing with the situation.
Hello! I'm the mommy now! If you don't like the way I'm raising
my kid, go somewhere else for a couple of minutes.”
The Answer:
“People who are always right, even when it's quite evident
that they are wrong.”
The Answer:
“People who talk about other people, especially church leadership
under the disguise of being concerned.”
The Answer:
“Clipping finger nails during church.”
The Answer:
“Tambourines.”
The Answer:
“Trash overflow! Take out the trash! Do not overfill!”
The Answer:
“Parents allowing their children to use the church sanctuary
as a playground after church--playing chase, running on the platform,
etc. Where is the respect for the house of God? And how are these
children expected to honor the presence of God in a place that they
consider their play area?”
The Answer:
“Driving slow in the left lane . . . come on, people, I'm late
for church!”
The Answer:
“When people ask how I am doing, and then just keep walking.
Just say 'Hello' if you don't really want to know how I am doing.”
The Answer:
“Preachers saying, 'I won't hold you long' and then holding
you too long.”
The Answer:
“Failing to contaminate / plan.”
The Answer:
“People who talk to someone else in the room with them while
they are on the phone with me drive me crazy! So rude!
Either talk to me or talk to them--not both of us at the same time!”
The Answer:
“Speakers who ramble for an hour and a half and never really have
a coherent message that you can remember--they just move from subject
to subject as it comes to their minds.”
